Why isn’t anyone talking about Putin congratulating tRump & how tRump held up missiles to protect Ukraine??

Day if infamy

Why have we become so cruel to one another? And why do so many people adore a demagogue?

Newsfucker from Scotland here. This feels a lot like Brexit. People bought the lies. Now the rubber has hit the road and we are poorer, weaker borders, immigration has not reduced, no seat at thd table for European decision making, we have lost do many rights to freely move and travel etc, polls show now thd majority would vote to rejoin the EU. Who isn't talking about it or taking up the cause? Mainstream media and politicians. Fucking cowards. Aaaaaand it was a Russian made heist just like your Trump takeover. Now the Trump and Musk supported right wing crazy Nigel Farage party Reform UK, who orchestrated the Brexit disaster, have twisted the negatives wrought on us by Brexit into it bring all about immigrants and a polling worryingly well, and being treated by mainstream media as a serious party, and not taking them on about the damage they have already done and the fact they have 0 answer to the problems we have. Thank you for your work https://www.statista.com/statistics/987347/brexit-opinion-poll/

Having feelings is not the same as knowing one has a soul.

Not only the ethereal into consciousness, but with practice, into action with the substrata of the agency we’ve had from conception.

That's a really interesting discussion to me. I'm not much into religion & I wonder about energetic realities of feelings, spirit, & soul, individually & collectively. I believe a lot of life is beyond probability (mine has been). I don't think being human is primarily an intellectual exercise, but there is something in our ability to have agency, bringing the ethereal into conscious awareness. Maybe that's the free will piece. Very interesting.

He got his clock cleaned in 2018 but are we 100% sure they won't gin up some reason to suspend elections before 2026?

Thank you, Jonathan, for taking this extra time with everything else you're doing. Live chats aren't usually my first choice, but this was really good. I think it's "nifty" how integrated you are. Authentic, lots of integrity, & fascinatingly, you seem comfortable with your feelings, are obviously a passionate person, but are so good at holding to reason. I take a lot away from things you talk about. I think it's a good idea for Dems to stay aware that a knee-jerk reaction is still a knee-jerk reaction regardless if it's the moral "high road". The objective is to be effective, find truth, solutions, help...more than be right. You are a good influence. 😁
