“American exceptionalism.” This idea that we have been graced by Higher Powers with a special role to play in the world that exempts us from the rules we apply to other nations is repulsive, narcissistic, and has led to great harm to many around the world.”
We are no longer the leader of the free world. We are no longer a beacon of democracy and justice. We are no longer than land of opportunity. We are no longer a nation in which no one is above the law. Our myths about ourselves are killing us. What to do? My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

There’s no Trump without an entire Republican Party on their knees and silent to the ongoing cruelty, hate, abuse, lies and lawlessness. They have abandoned the Constitution and basic human decency—for power. We will never forget these traitors who support despotism.

Absolutely the right decision by President Biden to pardon his son Hunter. This politically driven prosecution by this group of heinous individuals solely focused on hurting this family has gone on long enough.
