Donald Trump and Joe Biden are gearing up for their upcoming debate with intense debate prep sessions and strategizing on how to communicate their policies effectively to the audience. Comment below on who would you favor for this upcoming debate.

PROJECT 2025: MILITARY TAKEOVER OF US HOMELAND UNDER TRUMP I've been saying this from the beginning, if you want to know what Trump is doing all you have to do is read "Mein Kampf" by Adolf Hitler. HE IS USING HITLER'S THIRD REICH AS A PLAYBOOK FOR MAGA. Or do you think Trump WOULDN'T TURN THE US MILITARY AGAINST IT'S OWN "BROWN" PEOPLE!? THE COUP IS ONGOING There is and has been a long term coup attempt by racist organization, taking orders from Donald Trump, and attacking political enemies. This is not Democracy. This is strong-arm fascism. Fascism is anathema to Democracy. If you believe it is good for you, your family, or you country I would suggest going to You Tube and watching. "Don't Be a Sucker" - a post WW2 U.S. Navy Film about how to spot fascist propaganda. Even the winners lose in a fascist nation. Yeah, you may have that job for life, but it'll pay less and you will have no insurance when you're sick nor social security to retire. Then when you complain to your boss that you can't feed your kids? Your fired. Someone else must need the work more than you and you are not sufficiently grateful to Premier Trump. You will die under the heels of fascist boots. TRUMP'S FOURTH REICH Trump used White Nationalist organizations as the command structure of his attack on the Capitol Building on January 6th. RACISTS THAT HATE MINORITIES were unleashed on the capitol AS THEY ALL SAY - By Trump - FOR TRUMP. Trump has said he wants to create "Special Police" who are loyal ONLY TO HIM, to function outside the law, you know like Stasi Secret Police WHO RAPED TORTURED AND KILLED PEOPLE I KNOW for going to a human rights speech in a church. My gf years ago was taken, raped and tortured for a week, and thrown, naked and bloody, from a moving car, onto her front yard AS A WARNING TO ANYONE ELSE THAT WENT AGAINST MOSCOW. Now Trump plans to CHANGE US LAWS to allow him to unleash the American Military against ANY PROTEST HE SAYS - peaceful or not, doesn't matter. It will not be peaceful after the fact and violence will be blamed on protesters. He will be able to arrest people with the "wrong political messages". For instance, saying I don't like Strong Arm Right Wing politics because it takes the voices away from the people. Yeah. I'd disappear. I keep hearing from really really stupid people "Why would her do that?" to just about everythjing I've bnrought up. People seem to believe Trump works under some moral code. He doesn't. He uses and abuses and he WILL KILL AMERICANS FOR POWER. Trump's moral code is How much can I take from you. <--period. This is his world and you best give it to him or he will go on the news and tell everyone you're a rino, pedo, commie, fascist, etc. WAKE UP USA First they came for the gypsies. I was not a gypsy so I stayed silent. Tell me, who will be there to speak for me? #maga #4threich #reich #trump #nazi #meinkampf #hitler #historyrepeating #history #woke #coup #cult #insurrection #treason #fraud #rape #sedition

Georgia's spirit of resilience is once again on full display as protests reignite against the 'foreign agents' bill! Despite government expectations, the people's determination remains unyielding, echoing their strong desire for democratic values and European integration. Last year's government retreat may have been a calculated move, hoping that time would erode public opposition, a common complacency tactic employed by authorities. Yet, Georgian citizens have proven otherwise, standing firm in their conviction even in the face of repeated challenges. It's a testament to our collective strength and our refusal to succumb to such tactics. With both the EU and US expressing concerns about the bill, it’s clear that our aspirations for euro-Atlantic integration are at risk. We stand together in this pivotal moment for our nation’s future.

"In 2024, Democrats are virtually indistinguishable from communists, and being pro-American is seen as racist. Hence, the college protests. They’re not just pro-Hamas; they’re much, much more. These protests are very much a reflection of their time given the seemingly mainstream nature of the beliefs that power them. They’re at their core not just anti-Israel, they’re antisemitic, they’re anti-American, anti-Western, anti-capitalist, anti-police, and of course, anti-white. Sadly, all those things are basically mainstream Democrat policies in 2024. We see every single one of them play out across the country in federal, state, and local governments. From stultifying climate change regulations to the housing of illegals to DEI diktats to the reimagining of police, there’s virtually nothing that the federal government and half our state and local governments do today that isn’t infused with the workings of a leftist’s wet dream. At the end of the day, while some new incremental CAFE standard from Washington or a DEI hire at the local university might not sound particularly onerous, in reality, each is another bar in the leftist policy prison being implemented around the country." -- from the American Thinker 5/3/24

Germany has a coalition government, allowed through it being a multi-party parliamentary system. This is the case in most of Europe which are parliamentary systems with many political parties. Germans know that even if they vote for far-right candidates, their influence will be diluted in the parliament by the other parties. In the ancient presidential system we have in the USA where there are only two political parties, that is simply not possible. Big protests like this one in Germany are much more effective at raising awareness about parties with nefarious aims, with hopes of influencing election results, than they would be here in the US, where voters are willing to trade issues like women’s health care for other priorities, and the winner takes basically all. In the USA today, one political party, the Republican, has been captured by unbending authoritarians willing to kneecap democracy all in the name of "freedom". Apparently the only difference between the Trump dominated Republican party and the AfD in Germany is that Germans recognize that it is a fascist party and prepared to deal with it as such. The AfD is 20% per the article. Regardless of who wins in Nov, the Republican vote for Trump is likely to be disturbingly close to 50%. We in the United States have been too accustomed to being free and cushioned by our distance from Europe and Asia to truly "get" what Trump and his like are leading us toward. My God, we've become lazy and complacent. https://wapo.st/3Oamj4Y

As the nation looks ahead, the pivotal question is whether this momentum will snowball into a revolution that leads to an issue-based election in 2027, or if it will trigger a regressive clawback on fundamental freedoms under the guise of security https://lnkd.in/dKGpBYdq

Nonviolent protests align more closely with democratic principles and tend to be more effective. Therefore, while democracies should protect the right to protest, they also have a responsibility to discourage violence and destruction, balancing the need for expression with the preservation of public order and property.

I remain shocked at the events of this past week. My entire heritage is under attack. It is not just the events in Israel but also the events worldwide. Watching thousands of protestors in New York and other cities scream death to Israel and death to America is horrid but filled with irony. There are very few places in the world outside of the US where you can protest against the people and the government. What do you think would happen if any of these same individuals protested in North Korea, Cuba, Russia, China or Iran? Freedom of expression is a fundamental democratic right that allows individuals to voice their opinions, concerns, and grievances. It serves as a cornerstone of any democratic society, enabling citizens to engage in public discourse and hold governments accountable. Freedom of expression in the great United States is protected under the First Amendment of the Constitution, affording individuals the right to express their opinions, beliefs, and ideas without fear of government censorship or reprisal. This constitutional right encompasses a wide range of forms, including speech, assembly, press, and protest. The United States has a rich history of protecting free speech, often serving as a global example of a society that values open dialogue and dissent. The existence of hate speech and offensive protests raises important questions about the limits of freedom of expression. While the First Amendment protects speech, it does not protect individuals from social consequences, such as public backlash or condemnation. 

1. Reflecting on recent events near UCLA after a friend Keith Richman sent a video of choppers hovering 24/7 over his neighbourhood, it's clear we need a frank discussion about protest methods and the ideologies driving them. I'm committed to championing democratic values and the principles of freedom and transparency. 2. Transparency is non-negotiable. Masked protests blur accountability. Leaders stand visibly behind their causes. Intimidation hidden behind masks is a tactic of the past, not a strategy for meaningful change. 3. The real-world impact of these protests is undeniable. Constant helicopter surveillance in Los Angeles is more than a nuisance—it's a severe disruption, highlighting the need for immediate dialogue and resolution. 4. Navigating these challenging times demands adherence to Western democratic ideals—freedom, transparency, and dialogue. We must champion these values universally, ensuring they resonate within our communities and beyond. 5. While security is essential, it must never undermine our civil liberties. We need strategies that protect without creating a fortress mentality. Our approach must balance safety with respect for individual rights and community well-being. 6. Our commitment to democratic principles must be unwavering. We advocate for open dialogue and transparency in all forms of protest. This is the bedrock of a robust society—one where every voice is heard and valued. 7. In divisive times, our dedication to unity and mutual respect is more critical than ever. Let's commit to actions that reinforce our community’s peace and prosperity, ensuring a respectful environment for all discussions.
