Democracy? More like an authoritarian REGIME LOL

This is just what happened last week in politics minus the ads and loaded headlines.

 Here are the key unbiased facts about US politics from last week (August 12-18, 2025):

  • President Trump deployed 800 National Guard troops to Washington D.C. and federalized the city’s police force for 30 days, citing concerns about crime, despite violent crime there being at a 30-year low. This move drew criticism and protests from local officials and civil rights groups, questioning legality and implications for civil liberties.

  • The federal deployment of troops and National Guard members continued in California, with ongoing legal disputes over whether such actions violate laws barring military use as domestic police.

  • President Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders in a summit aimed at halting the Russia-Ukraine war fighting. The meeting showed a relatively united front but left many issues unresolved. Trump offered vague security guarantees for Ukraine contingent on a deal with Russia.

  • Trump appointed a new commissioner to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics after firing his predecessor following an unexpectedly weak jobs report. The new nominee is a critic of the bureau's methods.

  • The White House announced a surprise appointment of the Missouri Attorney General to a key role in running the FBI, reportedly diminishing the authority of the current deputy director amid internal controversies.

  • National Guard troops were deployed to Washington D.C. from multiple states as part of Trump’s crackdown on the city.

  • In Pennsylvania, a steel plant explosion near Pittsburgh killed at least two people and injured several others, with authorities imposing shelter-in-place orders due to air quality concerns.

These are the main factual developments in U.S. politics and government actions last week without editorializing or bias.nytimes+2youtube

This is Democracy?  It's anything but and the republicans have control of everything, the judical branch, the legislative branch and even the executive branch.  Would you call that a Super Majority?  I sure do and all of our CIVIL LIBERTIES are going backwards while we have reached, in biblical terms, the "Tower of Babel" days where real time translations of any language is absolutely real and affordable.  So If the bible is correct why are we going backwards in it?  

The best form of government is a SOCIAL DEMOCRACY where there is publicly funded elections, no electoral college, no gerry mandering, no loopholes for the ultra wealthy to slip thru and they should pay their fair share of taxes or a progressive tax rate.  The Citizen's United supreme court case should be struck down, Roe v. Wade should be reinstated and the constitution needs an upgrade, it's a 250 year old document and the only part that should stay is "For the people, by the people" and the rest should be rewritten for this day in age, because change is coming whether anyone likes it or not, but those who can adapt or learn will do fine but those who resist will become burdens to other's.
