"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
Trump's entire goal, and I cannot stress this enough, is power.
If Trump believes that making allies and negotiating trade deals would make him powerful to his base, he absolutely would. This guy is using the military, tariffs, and executive orders as a flex. He doesn't care about the economy. He only cares that his power is unchallenged.
What is the difference between creepy and a hopeless romantic?
Money. Sometimes looks. But usually money.
There aren't many people who are willing to evaluate their entire political decisions and come to the conclusion that they were wrong. Even fewer who will admit it publicly. Even fewer still who will accept responsibility and then do something about it.
Of the people I have respectfully disagreed with, the fact that he's come around is a huge testament to his willingness to be humbled and corrected.
He also has speaking roles in Big Bang Theory. I want to say... Amy's dad? I can't remember
We clearly have different rules for different levels of government.
Hate on Hilary all you want: storing classified material on a personal server would have gotten any other government civilian thrown in jail. Using one personal phone for government work would have also gotten you thrown in jail.
Same with Trump and Biden.
It doesn't help things that these assholes knew full well what they were doing and didn't want to follow existing procedures. And they likely won't get charged or punished for it.

Let's play along here for a moment. Let's say it wasn't classified.
The question remains: why wasn't military action that was imminent classified? If the Yemen military generals were invited to the chat, would they have been okay?
I mean, we all know why they are saying that it was unclassified.
But the question I want answered is why this excuse?
There might be very niche communities but Lemmy has grown so much in the last year. I would encourage you to search for whatever community you are looking for. You might not find the exact equivalent but you might find a good match.
For example, there may be a /r/3dprinteddildos on reddit but that won't exist here. But I am sure that the 3D community here can point you in the right direction.
Keep in mind how subreddit often got created: when the general community doesn't provide enough content for your niche, the niche community is developed.
/r/gonewild is a great example of this. It went from amateur porn to a cestpool of only fans content. Other subreddits were created to continue the way.
It's the same thing here: find a community that's close and post.
This idiot
Some people are just into that kind of thing.
