To think that the USA is a dictatorship now?

[spoonbillstretford]

Trump appears to have ultimate power. Who can challenge him? Who controls him? Presidents should not be dictating what drug companies charge for medicines on a whim, or indeed any other goods, at the drop of a hat. He says jump and the US says "How High?" What on earth have you done to yourselves and the world to let this evil, thick, orange toddler clown represent you? What the hell were you thinking?

Out of interest, what news sources do you consider to be fair and non-biased journalism?

Because he raped a 13 year old child.

DC is not a "lawless shithole". It was in a bad state in the 1990s but certainly wasn't in 2024.

For that matter the people who actually mounted the insurrection should still be doing porridge. Instead they got pardoned and Ashli Babbitt is treated as a martyr.

Good point. What I hate about the US is that they blindly stick to party lines. Even the democrats with Clinton.

In the UK, the parties at least oust someone who isn't good enough.

If isn’t a dictatorship and is still inside the top 10% of the world in being free and fair.

But….it has slipped and there are worrying elements.

There are a lot of things which might happen (gerrymandering or the mid terms for instance) but haven’t yet.

The mid terms and how they are held will be a good test of how autocratic Trump actually is. There are also a lot of things wending their way through the court system. So far, once judicial process has been exhausted, Trump had obeyed the courts. Again, if that changes, it is very worrying.

I don't think there iare any these days. It doesn't exist.
The big guys control what is spouted in the press.

So do you just make up your own story then?
