@#9 ... PEDO DONNIE is insane ...

imo, "insane" may not be the correct description.

Maybe something more along the lines of "deteriorated" or "deteriorating?"

But, in general, I do agree with your opinion, i.e., Pres trump's seems to have issues in his elected task of representing all Americans, moving all of America forward.

When the billionaires run the government, is it a surprise that the government makes it easier for billionaires to cheat on their taxes?

More from the article ...

... President Donald Trump's administration has carried out a sweeping overhaul of U.S. law enforcement this year, forcing out scores of attorneys and focusing large sections of the Justice Department on tracking down immigrants.

Its retreat from tax enforcement illustrates the toll that shift has taken on other crime-fighting efforts.

The administration made deep cuts to the Internal Revenue Service's criminal investigative unit, and some of those who remained were ordered to start working on immigration cases or anti-crime patrols in Washington, according to government records and officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to discuss their work publicly.

At the same time, the Justice Department closed its Tax Division, and officials said a third or more of the criminal lawyers who worked there quit.

The government estimates that it collects almost $700 billion less in taxes than it is owed each year.

Criminal prosecutions seek to recoup only a small fraction of that amount, but the threat of prison or large fines is meant to be one of the government's key tools for deterring cheating.

Experts including former IRS and Justice Department officials worry blunting the tool could embolden more cheating. ...

@#60

Repetition does not make it true.

Do try harder.

@#52 ... Illegal immigrant rights: NONE ...

May I be so bold as to suggest that you read the Constitution?

@#2 ... Fat ------ can't even find Venezuela on a map. ...

But he did broker a peace agreement in the Armenian-Cambodian conflict.

@#65 ... It appears that Mamdani is up against a hostile corporate DNC as well as the GOP. ...

Yeah, that's how it is looking.

Yet look at the percentage of votes h received.

Maybe the people of NYC are tired of the corporate DNC owning their city.

Maybe that's a reason (not the only one, though) why the Democrats in Congress have such a low approval rating?

@#9 ... Release the Epstein Files ...

Yup, and with only the names of the victims redacted.

@#1 ... An emotionally and morally disturbed fraction of the country is behind this "shift". ...

Didn't Hitler rely on the political process to gain power?

My guess is that the US is around where Germany was in the, say, early- to mid-1930's regarding Hitler's rise to power. But the US is moving towards authoritarianism more quickly than Germany did.

@#1 ... The core questions according to the article:

What would be so sensitive about the portion that shows a second set of strikes that wasn't sensitive about the initial strikes?

And why has it taken nearly a week to review that release, when it took just hours to review the release of the initial strikes? ...

Yup.

Also, if I may add, Sen Cotton has been saying things along the lines of ~the survivors of the initial strike trying to turn the boat over and continue on their mission.~

If that were the case, does that not inherently criticize the capability of the munition used to take out that boat?

Asked differently, if there actually were enough flotsam remaining of the boat for the two to continue their mission, either the munition was too weak for the task (imo, doubtful), or the munition missed the boat (also doubtful, as the initial video showed).

Could Sen Cotton be trying to mischaracterize what happened leading up to the second strike to protect Pres Trump?

@#46 ... He who spares the wicked injures the good. ...

Your current trolling alias just negated its own argument.

As I said, do try harder.

@#11 ... Of course Trump can't be held liable. ...

Then why is Pres Trump messing with the ICC?

@#10 ... People love to throw out those kind of stats but most populous states will always have the most everything. ...

Agreed.

That's why I tend towards per-capita stats when comparing states.

For example ...
