The pendulum swings ever more violently. Back and forth. I think that is by design.

We need calm, level heads. Strong people who can slow the swing, and who are not easily swayed from the path of true peace.

Balance is the anathema to the chaos we see. And to those who seek to keep us preoccupied and thus ignorant of what they are really doing.

It's not too late. We can still save ourselves ... if we just learn to see what we have in common.

What is the path to true peace ? And who are the people that keeps the pendulum swingin ? Oh that's right It's the United States.Ya baby we got rid of the Orange Man.And the world now has Joe Biden. Now you can really COVER and DUCK.

Yes, moving past orange man would be a great step for the GOP but it will take one more losing election cycle. Trump will not get RNC nomination and break out as a new party candidate, but that is not a certainty. He will at least ruin any GOP gains.

What’s the record now, 6 out of 7 loses?

Well, I think both parties are corrupt beyond what the everyday ant worker here in the Land of the Free,Can comprehend.

It makes sense that there's so much resentment against police, given some of the recent cases of police brutality (especially the beating to death of Tyre Nichols in February), but I can't see this achieving anything other than reinforcing the toxic 'us VS them' mentality that is to blame for many incidents of police brutality (and a plethora of other issues in US society).

"The United States" is neither a person nor group of people. It's a country, and there are ~332 million U.S. citizens. Are you suggesting that each and every one of us - and no one else - is responsible for the current state of affairs on most of the planet? Surely not, because that would be a ridiculous assertion.

My point is: there are specific people - in the United States and elsewhere - who are stoking this dumpster fire for their own benefit. All you have to do is think about who that might be. Who would want the U.S. and other first world powers chasing their tails over race, gender, culture, religion, etc.? Hmmm ... gee that's a tough one.

That's exactly how it's supposed to work, Markus. IMHO, one of the most overlooked U.S. laws is the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution:

The Constitution of the United States actually delegates very few explicit* powers to the federal government. Twenty-seven to be exact - notably: the power to declare war, coin money, regulate trade and establish a post office. The latter being particularly funny because our postal system is not funded by the federal government at all.

Anyway, what we have instead is a federal government that reaches into almost every aspect of our lives. The result is madness.

*There is a precedent for "implied powers" which - quite frankly - I believe is bull███ .

Always your American friend,
