monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

So you want a war between Russia and the US?

Why would you be opposed to normal relations between the US and Russia? How about China? Do you think the US should have normal relations with China?

What countries should the US have abnormal relations with?

While I can't comment on how things were here before; I don't find it difficult to believe you at all.

Even at the Linux forum I was participating at before this forum, debates were much better than debates at this forum, even political debates. Even trump supporters were more intelligent over there than the trump supporters are here at A2K - and managed to come up with far better arguments than what we see here. People there normally responded based on what you actually said, rather than trying to mind read you, insinuate things, rely on conspiracy theories, childish attempts at wit, silly arguments and similar, even the trolls normally had at least slightly better debating skills than a lot of the people here seem to have.

Generally speaking, people there seemed to have a lot more intelligence than people here at A2K, which seems to be lacking quite badly here at A2K. Even just basic reading comprehension and English skills seem to be badly lacking with at least some here. I've never seen so many typos in one post over at the Linux forum I was talking about before, that I've seen in many posts here. To the point where I've even given up even trying to read some posts here - because they were that incoherent. And you got people from all corners of the world over at the Linux forum I was participating at before A2K (even people where English isn't their native language - but normally they still managed to make at least some sense).

Perhaps technical forums, and/or Linux forums attract more intelligent people? But it's probably an interesting question for another thread I'd think.

Perhaps I should have just stayed at that other forum instead, particularly given I don't know why I even bother participating here most of the time. Perhaps answering the same tired old technical questions time and time again has it's appeal? Well, it's getting much easier to think so with the seemingly never ending bullshit I see here at A2K...

Religious group scrubs all references to Amy Coney Barrett from its website

Christians Are the Most Persecuted Religious Group in the World

Christians remain the most persecuted religious group in the world, new figures from the Pew Research Centre show.

The Centre’s report on religious harassment in 2016 found that Christians were harassed in 144 countries, up from 128 the year before.

The Centre reported that the number of countries with “high” or “very high” levels of government restrictions on religion also rose, from 25 per cent of countries in 2015 to 28 per cent in 2016: 55 of the 198 countries examined by the research.

The report says: “This is the largest percentage of countries to have high or very high levels of government restrictions since 2013, and falls just below the 10-year peak of 29% in 2012.

"People of Praise is a charismatic Christian community" with "Roman Catholics, Lutherans, Episcopalians, Methodists, Pentecostals, Presbyterians and other denominational and nondenominational Christians" - approximately 1,700 members.

So they are persecuted in the USA, Canada and the Caribbean? (That's where they are present)

Similar Catholic charismatic groups began popping up since Vatican II.

Andrew Cuomo Deletes Nursing Home Order, Which Killed Thousands, From Health Department Web Site

Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s March 25 order requiring nursing homes and other long-term care facilities to accept recovering coronavirus patients has disappeared from the New York State Department of Health’s website.

The webpage for Cuomo’s order says the document is “not found,” though it can still be seen on the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. It took the governor roughly six weeks to reverse the order, which has been blamed for the high death rate among New York’s elderly.

AP reported about that in longer reports on May 22, 2020. That news was published by all media.

The Washington Post and especially the New Times run several stories and reports about it in May and June.
It seems not to be that bad to read from other sources.

But: it has been posted on this thread as well.

Democrat Stimulus Bill Features Deportation Protection And Cash Payouts To Illegals

Also in the legislation is language that would allow the a second round of stimulus checks, $1,200 per adults and $500 per dependent, to be extended to those without a social security number — including those in the country illegally who file taxes via an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).

The bill also would require the Department of Homeland Security to review the files of those in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody and to prioritize those for release if they are not a threat to national security. It also demands migrants have access to free video calls and access to virtual legal assistance from nonprofits.
