Bingo! And they need him free and ‘at large’. Democrats can no more jail or prosecute him than you or I can cut off one of our own arms:


The Donald Trump problem

Donald Trump is not being targeted for the misdemeanors and serious felonies he appears to have committed but for discrediting and undermining the entrenched power of the ruling duopoly.”




“Protesters gather around a row of coffins draped with the flags of Russia, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Iraq, and the US. A banner is displayed that reads "Fund people's needs, not war!"

THOUSANDS DEMONSTRATE IN FRONT OF WHITE HOUSE TO DEMAND AN END TO THE US WAR MACHINE

Turns out living to maximize short term results is deadly to the future:

“Young People Get Climate Change Danger: What’s Wrong with Everybody Else?”


"A recent peer reviewed paper examined climate emotions and anxiety among young people in Canada. Young people get climate change. Nearly half of young Canadians think that humanity is totally doomed. Many young people do not want to have children. Society has failed young people, and they know it.

This study surveyed 1000 young people, aged 16 to 25 years old, across Canada. Some of the findings are as follows:

- at least 56% reported feeling afraid, sad, anxious, and powerless

- about 78% reported that climate change impacts their overall mental health

- about 37% reported that their feelings about climate change negatively impact daily functioning

- about 39% of respondents report hesitation about having children due to climate change

- about 73% report thinking that the future is frightening

- about 76% report that people have failed to take care of the planet

This survey is based upon a survey two years ago that looked at the same thing for 1000 young people (16 to 25 years old) in each of ten countries; namely:

- Australia

- Brazil

- Finland

-France

- India

- Nigeria

- Philippines

- Portugal

- UK

- USA

Results were similar to Canada, but countries that have been hard-hit already from climate change were worse. For example the Philippines has had a lot of coastal flooding from typhoons, so has much worse numbers (47.3% hesitant to have children, 73.3% think humanity is doomed, 91.5% think the future is frightening, etc…)
