Rudy’s sources are Shokin and Leshenko (?). Neither are particularly credible. But sure, heck, let’s investigate, the government isn’t doing anything else. (Which is arguably a good thing.)

I was born in the 70s, this is the worst I have ever seen it.
I was born just a few years ahead of you.
I thought it was bad during Clinton’s Presidency ... nope.
That was just the prelude.

Yeah, what was it Jesus called it in the Bible “a nest of vipers”?
That about covers it.
I guess it’s always been this way, but it sure seems worse in the last decade or so.
I’m gettin’ old, Bo.
We both are. And the critters' crap is getting old.
But it seems we have reached a tipping point... for better AND worse

They have not forgotten, they have been taught not to. They have been taught anyone who disagrees with their progressive beliefs are Nazis that should be attacked.

So you’re decrying the use of the term Nazi while using the term progressives.
How does that make sense on your side of the screen?
Isn’t overgeneralization the issue you’re pointing to?

That decision was in alignment with over two years of expressed foreign policy by both the US and the EU.
When Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. traveled to Kiev , Ukraine, on Sunday for a series of meetings with the country’s leaders, one of the issues on his agenda was to encourage a more aggressive fight against Ukraine’s rampant corruption and stronger efforts to rein in the power of its oligarchs. But the credibility of the vice president’s anticorruption message may have been undermined by the association of his son, Hunter Biden, with one of Ukraine’s largest natural gas companies, Burisma Holdings, and with its owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, who was Ukraine’s ecology minister under former President Viktor F. Yanukovych before he was forced into exile.
Hunter Biden, 45, a former Washington lobbyist, joined the Burisma board in April 2014. That month, as part of an investigation into money laundering, British officials froze London bank accounts containing $23 million that allegedly belonged to Mr. Zlochevsky. Britain’s Serious Fraud Office, an independent government agency, specifically forbade Mr. Zlochevksy, as well as Burisma Holdings, the company’s chief legal officer and another company owned by Mr. Zlochevsky, to have any access to the accounts.

I did not say Democrats were the problem, I did not generalize. Not everyone who disagrees with me is evil.

If I may say so, you really do a good job of rising above the fray.

I was born in '63, I have never seen things this bad in that timeframe. My dad and grandfather saw some crap growing up but nothing like we see now. It just keeps getting worse because people have forgotten how to get along with others. It's not that the attitudes weren't there, but between the majority of both parties and the media, it has made a large portion of our population vicious and hateful. That's what I don't understand. But I also think there are fewer people interested and educated in the political process these days and the ignorance feeds these fires too.
I used to enjoy reading the paper and watching the news, but in the last twenty or so years it has turned into a black pit of lies and corruption with no accountability whatsoever. That's why I make the effort to find independent sources of information when I see/hear something new. I learned a long, long time ago not to react right away, but to research and use logical, critical thinking before forming an opinion.
It usually works but sometimes the defiant 12yo in me comes out. I'm still working on that. Maybe.

What are some examples of what Mr. Trump has done to protect the common citizens of the USA?
Two or three maybe, since he’s done so much?
Thank you kindly.

There is no doubt that there is a wide-swath of corporate media dedicated to anti-Trump/Democrat causes.
Just as some of the most effective corporate media is pro-Trump.
Keep us all at odds as much as possible as long as possible.
I am trying to learn to insulate myself from the effects of the constant bombardment 24/7.
If I may say so, you really do a good job of rising above the fray.
Biden did indeed force the firing of the Ukranian prosecutor after the prosecutor was told to handle Burisma with 'white gloves', but did not do so.
seems crow for thanksgiving for many?
as long as it is some bird?
