No other choice. If it is indeed wrong to say out loud that I do not trust Jews anymore, then that will just have to be something I learn to live with like I do genocide, ethnic cleansing, pedophilia and the deliberate murder of world central kitchen and other aid workers. Israel is a savage and degenerate ally, a child killing lying thieving nation state , a menace to all of humanity and friend to no one...Especially Americans!
public opinion
It appears there is very strong opinion these days about issues like corruption and misconduct. Either people are 100% sure it's happening on a large scale, or they refuse to believe the possibility even exists.... Trust scores
Brand new, but the onboarding info suggests Trust Scores reflect how much a post's source "reflects my worldviews"? I'm not really looking for an echo chamber platform and had assumed these scores would focus more on good faith, or even veracity, as opposed to viewpoint... Great charts on polarization and echo-chambers in the USA
Six-Chart Sunday – Where You Sit Is Where You Stand - by some guy named Bruce Mehlman on Substack 90% of Republicans approved of President Trump’s job performance mid-April (~85 days in), tied for the highest own party approval at this point in the term per Hart Research.... Thoughts from a lefty. As someone more on the left, it’s always depressing to watch these debates. Both candidates pro war, ignoring Israeli aggression, both want to drill more fossil fuels—which will drive climate change regardless of how much windmills you build, and lies about immigration. 80% of drug trafficking arrests at us border are US citizens lol. The Democratic Party has moved very far to the right over the years and it’s showing tonight. One reason they keep agreeing on things I think
It’s surprising (in a helpful way—learning my biases is one of the things I’m hoping UpTrust will continuously reveal) to hear your opinion that the Dem Party has moved very far right over the years.... Why did Vance change his tune on Trump. He was quite vociferous against Trump and now he’s his biggest fan, what happened?
My opinion, At this point, Trump is the antidote to the Biden/Harris socialist policies. A lot of people, including, RFK, Elon Musk, have changed their position on Trump because they believe that Harris is a mouthpiece for a corrupt American system that has already shown their... WWF Muppets
In this corner, JD Vance, Vance Refrigeration. And in this corner Governor Tim Balz. These guys are muppets. They’ll put on a good show, do their best to get folks riled up and to convince everyone that it’s really important, maybe even existentially important, that their side... Attempted Trump Assasination- Was he actually hit by a bullet? (meta commentary: I imagine the future of uptrust will host more conversations of this nature… so let’s see how we navigate it)
On Saturday, former president Donald Trump was the target of an attempted assassination.
Two things I want to talk about–
Was Trump actually hit by a bullet? I’m skeptical that a bullet grazed his ear, and think it’s more likely that a piece of shrapnel clipped him. I’m not intending to minimize the fact that someone definitely tried to kill him, but rather I am irritated by his spinning and inflation of the story if there is a truer thing to be said about what happened.
The secret service really fucked up. How on earth do they miss a lone sniper on a roof that many of the bystanders identified before them? I don’t think there is a conspiracy theory here, but do believe someone should probably be fired for their oversight.
I’d like to hear others’ opinions on this + where your credibility comes from. Name your news source or experience that leads you to believe what you’re sharing.
Some folks have argued that a bullet would have caused a lot more damage. So rather than a bullet, it was maybe the teleprompter being hit and glass flying off of it....

"The Secret Service really fucked up". oooo, I am not liking that opinion. I have the upmost respect towards that branch of national security. Several law agencies were involved at that event. I credit the Secret Service with taking action to protect a former president.... Attempted Trump Assasination- Was he actually hit by a bullet?

I question whether Trump was actually hit too. Someone on Twitter said that his ear was cut by a mic/teleprompt device during the commotion. I have no idea if that’s true. Someone else questioned the blood splatter. They thought it was weird how the blood ran down his face.... Trump is going to be President (again)
The assassination attempt is definitely helping propel Trump to the presidency (aka the belief that "God is ordaining Trump to be president, thus saved him from harm"), though Elon Musk’s immediate endorsement after the assassination attempt (and $45 mil per month committed...

Trump is now…. ..officially a convicted criminal. And he’s still going to run. And he’s probably still going to win.
I’m not quite sure what that says about the state of democracy, the Biden administration, the US and/or our world.
But it strikes me as so utterly absurd, it’s actually kinda hilarious.
I remember 8 years ago, I was so appalled when Trump got elected, it seemed like the end of the world.
But the world didn’t end. And it might be my heartbroken disappointment with Biden’s warmongering-while-virtue-signaling administration or the fact that whoever’s actually in control of the Democratic party seems to just not give a fuck and is willing to run him again when he seems at least half-senile, but this time around I’m like,
yeah, OK, Trump again. Fine. Bring it on.
(Insert gif of person eating popcorn ).
it looks like most of the trump supporters have very little trouble with the conviction—there are a ton of seemingly easy ways to write it off, such as: "the conviction is politically motivated and a lot of the laws were completely made up for this" "all politicians are corrupt,...

I mean he did kind of claim to have this super power in advance back in 2016: "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and wouldn’t lose any voters, okay?" Trump said, mimicking firing a gun with his fingers....
