Journalists are the backbone of a healthy democracy.

FU USA FU

And just to be clear: The biggest military force of the world threatens denmark, scrambles the economy around the world due to sudden politic changes (tarifs) and destroys its own integrity as an ally

Oh, we're clear.

We're just powerless to do anything, as the (probably) legally elected administration runs this ship like its own personal party barge into ... everything in sight.

Our Checks refuse to speak up in Congress, and our Balances keep voting to make the (current) POTUS immune to the law.

Frankly, both parties feel like the "elected administration runs this ship like its own personal party barge" when they're out of power.

If you don't like that, the only solution is to push for limited government next time you're in power.

Whatever power you put into the hands of the government is guaranteed to fall into your enemy's hands some day. This is a deliberate design feature of the US political system. It's the only way to get people to wake up for the need to limit government power.

A good start would be ending selective prosecution by restoring the original role of grand juries: to decide whether or not to hire a contract prosecutor for a single case. Public Prosecutors can be just like Public Defenders -- contractors of the court, with no discretionary powers.

Not really. In the West, they are just parrots for the wealthy.

Also the US has always kind of been the biggest threat to world peace, with the exception of Nazi Germany. It only feels outrageous now because White people are being attacked too instead of the usual targets

The good journalists are not and they are the ones getting raided...
