Protecting Trump’s enemies from prosecution just reinforces the idea of politics as retribution. Instead, Democrats should be defending his most vulnerable targets.

    Iceland has nothing but space and resources yet it’s nearly impossible to immigrate there and I don’t see anyone complaining about it. This analogy can apply to all of Scandinavia really

      hahahaha it doesnt even have the population of a single major US city.

      california is the 5th largest economy on the planet, and its just a single state. its not even kind of the same situation.

        Yeah it has a small population because nobody is allowed to move there lol. And I argue it’s one of the main reasons they have the highest quality of life on the planet

      There was someone on here that said that the US sucks compared to all these Scandinavian countries…where MOST people are white… so, you’re saying that those countries that have more white people, and less diverse cultures, thrive more? lol…

          Again, as are most Scandinavian countries… they’re not dealing with 300 Million different people from all over the world… it’s just ridiculous to try and compare the US to any other country on the planet.
