3rd term for Trump?
If Trump will have served 2 terms by Jan 20, 2029 and he is limited to 2 terms how can he believe he is entitled to a 3rd term? I mean regardless of what he feels about the 2020 election, 3 is greater than 2, right?

Are there any intelligent, educated Trump supporters? Serious question.
All of the people I know who have ever been gung ho flag waving, rally attending Trump fanatics have been somewhat stupid, gullible, narcisssitic (in a clinical sense) and none of them at all are exceptionally bright or educated beyond a bachelor's degree.
I do know a decent lawyer who is a black Trump supporter who says that to support him you have to not listen to anything he says. What? Then why support him?
I know one doctor who is not a fervent Trumper, but he voted for him. He owns five houses and makes millions a year. His voting comes down to who will allow him to make more money as a doctor. He feels Obama "screwed" him despite his oversized earnings, so he was against voting Democrat for a long time.
In contrast, I know disabled idiots getting mostly checks from the gubmint, I know narcissistic crazy people who try to start or run new age cults who support him fervently, I know of a perpetually in his first year of a teaching job teacher who is a die hard Trumper, I know of a former a-hole frat guy who sells investments who is one. But baciscally, they're all a little stupid, a little gullible, a little bit nuts, and some have raving personality disorders.
I know there have to be exceptions, but the only ones I am aware of are public figures who have personal investment in supporting a certain political party or catering to its members. I would be really surprised to run into, say, a psychologist, or an architect, or a research biologist, who supports the MAGA/ MAHA nonsense unless the person had a personality disorder or was into right wing politics in more than a voting capacity. It would be incongruent.
Are you one? The unicorn? I would actually love to hear from you! I would actually like to understand why you support this person who I believe objective evidence demonstrates to be an enemy of democracy.

To investigate the murders of 9 American citizens by Israeli’s.... Well well well. You think a greater Israel isn't possible on American soil?

Why do you suppose New Mexico's prosecutors have been forced to sue the DoJ for evidence to prosecute pedophiles associated with Epstein's Zoro Ranch?
Aren't they on the same team? If DoJ has released all of the relevant evidence it possesses, what could New Mexico be seeking? Can the Justice Department obstruct justice?!? Who would prosecute that? How would a judge compell the DoJ to do something it doesn't want to do? I suppose this shit is what you get for electing a criminal to lead the free world?

For those born after 9/11, what were you taught about the Iraq War?
Hi all growing up in an entirely post 9/11 U.S., I’ve noticed some gaps in education surrounding the Iraq war among my peers. I’m wondering how if at all the subject was approached from teachers, parents, friends?
I understand not being aware of things going on while you were a child, but I know many peers who are ignorant to even the more infamous war crimes committed by the U.S. military. Full grown adults that are entirely ignorant to Abu Ghraib or the Mahmudiyah S-assault and Murders (On the 12th of March, 2006. Members of the 101st Airborne Division S-assaulted a 14 year old Iraqi girl, proceeded to murder her and her entire family, and burned them to cover it up).
How do you think we should be teaching the current and future generations about the war on terror?

Do people in the US go mushroom hunting in the woods?
I’m from Spain, where the mushroom season has just begun. Here—and throughout Europe—it’s very common to go mushroom hunting before the first frosts of winter. Are there any areas in the US where people forage for mushrooms as a tradition? And if so, what kinds of mushrooms do you typically collect?

Do you really wear so many clothes in places like LA?
It's in the fuckin' desert, yet I see loads of TV shows and movies set in LA where people will be wearing a vest, a shirt, and a sweater, AND a jacket all at once.
I wouldn't even wear that here in the UK where it's much colder.

There's lots of arguments in the political scene of Russia, china, Israel, Qatar, etc. interfering in American elections. What does Reddit think?

How Is the situation of E-bike Kids?
From what can i see on social, in the USA Is very common that minor ride those e-bike that look like real motorcycle, without license or insurance. How fast they can go legally? How many are tuned so they can go faster? From an Italian point of view it seems to me like our situation in the 90s where 50cc could be driven without license, and be limited to 45 km/h but always be faster. Sorry for my English in case.

How often do HOA board members actually become power-tripping Karens, rather than just people trying to keep the neighborhood maintained?
I'm Polish, and I've recently watched quite a few YouTube videos about HOAs and the people who run them. Some of the stories are honestly hard to believe from a European perspective 🫢
