By Park Hyun, editorial writer
The mass arrests are undoubtedly a wake-up call, a major rupture that opens our eyes to what is happening in the US at this moment. We must heed this warning to close the loopholes and traps in our investment projects with the US. Otherwise, we may eventually face even greater calamity.
To understand whats at the core of this situation, we must revisit the Make America Great Again movement championed by US President Donald Trump. MAGA represents a reactionary movement by white evangelical forces seeking to revert America to a time before the civil rights movement in the 1960s. Its core supporters are low-income, poorly educated white Americans and evangelical Protestants. Trump has become a voice amplifying the anxieties of these groups, whose societal status has been shaken by job losses due to globalization, deepening economic polarization, and a surge in immigration. Trump has incited them to channel their anger toward the established elite and outsiders, such as people of color, undocumented immigrants, and Muslims.

The massive crackdown on allegedly undocumented immigrants at the Hyundai-LG Energy Solution plant in Georgia must also be understood within this context. The sight of our workers being led out in chains resembles images of African slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries being dragged out by their owners.
The U.S. is the shame and laughing stock of the entire world, with a few asshole exceptions.

This image is undoubtedly AI-generated.
Couldn't find any real photos.

Very long discussion at Hacker News.

Smart people hire even smarter people, in effect "being the dumbest person in the room" in order to excel.
An egotist hires dumber people, and rather than learn, gets to assign blame, which is his internal "operating system"
They have IQ's below freezing ON THE CELSIUS SCALE.
Designed to fail. I called it much earlier.
Understand the coup plan. Expose it, Explain it and encourage everyone to do the right and appropriate thing to stop it

He wants failure, for his dictatorial aims (they were always obvious) and for Daddy Putin.
SOME MASSIVE DEBT
It's either equal to the Epstein debt/blackmail or one and the same.
And I think we are closer to people in high leverage positions stopping it.
We have governors, some reps and senators and some already pissed-off National Guard soldiers.
I'm remembering who stood up and who didn't.
Not for spite. But for leadership qualities.
