We all know why. Because justice and bail are bought and sold like commodities in US. Enough money buys you the best lawyers who can ensure you are never convicted, even if you did the crime.

If we go through the world, populations outside the US who live in repression and fear with terrible human rights abuses and poverty not caused by US or US companies greatly outnumber those where it is directly caused by US, without excusing the US for the evil it has done.

This statement contains a lot of truth but on balance is wrong.
Is US responsible for China's genocide of Uyghurs? Repression in Tibet? China having one of worst human rights records?
Is US responsible for Russia's genocide in Ukraine? Russia having one of worst human rights records.

Good luck, Aftyn.
She's a progressive left-wing candidate fighting to win a deep-red Trump district.
This is an important test case for left-wing Dem thesis that candidates who focus on affordability and lifting up poor by taxing rich will outperform moderate, corporate Democrats everywhere.

A) Trump says the majority of immigrants in US are on welfare, criminals, drug cartel etc.
B) He also says Tim Walz is seriously r*tarded.
What is the statement that needs to be headlined and condemned? Obviously Tim Walz is more important than 27m+ immigrants ????

As you observe with your context, Hillary didn't make a misstep with this statement. She spoke the truth and all the right-wing outrage was performative.

"As insulting as the 'deplorables' comment" - GTFO.
Calling a bunch of "ists" - racist, sexist, etc. - MAGAs deplorables is speaking truth to scumbags
Calling immigrants people on welfare, criminals, drug cartels etc. is NAZI concentration camp shit
I don't understand the false equivalence???

offensive than his presence. Everyone shunning him whenever he speaks or wants attention seems warranted, although I agree a mass walkout when he's offensive to women would be a good start.

You're 100% right, but it feels like we're missing the huge pink elephant in the room (not Trump, the other one) -
The President is an adjudicated sexual assaulter of women, probable pedophile, and possible traitor. He should be in prison, not White House.
He behaves like he is. His words are less

"Foreign population stands at 53 million... most of which are on welfare... or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.
They and their children are supported through massive payments... A migrant earning $30,000... gets roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family."

She thought this guy was amazing, so much her dream guy she believed him to be, that she fell in love with him then and there. A few days later, the girl killed her own sister.
What is her motive in killing her sister?
(Congrats - if you can answer this correctly, you are probably a psychopath!)

If you want to know if someone is a psychopath, you can ask them 1 question - I kid you not - that only psychopaths ever get right.
This is a genuine psychological test. It is a story about a girl. While at the funeral of her own mother, she met a guy whom she did not know.

Psychopathy is a psychological term (not a medical term) used to describe an extreme form of ASPD. Psychologists like to say psychopaths are cold (no empathy, fake emotion) and sociopaths are hot (weak empathy, hot emotion -anger/excitement) to describe the difference in degree.

Yes and no.
The underlying medical condition diagnosed using the DSM-V is antisocial personality disorder. It's fair to say sociopathy is a common name for ASPD.

PoCs in our county. We went to an all-White school where we were racially teased every day. My mom helped make a community of non-White friends for us, but we just wanted to be like everyone else and fit in.
