Sheinbaum:


Mexican President Sheinbaum condemns violence in LA protests​



“Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum condemned the use of violence in immigration protests in Los Angeles, as she urged the Mexican community abroad to remain peaceful.

“We do not agree with violent actions as a form of protest. Burning police cars appears to be more an act of provocation than of resistance. We condemn violence, no matter where it comes from,” Sheinbaum said in a prepared statement at her daily news briefing on Monday.

“We call on the Mexican community to act pacifically and not allow itself to be provoked,” she added.

But the Mexican president made clear that her government has an “unwavering commitment to the protection and defense of the human rights of Mexicans, regardless of their immigration status” — and called for due process in U.S. immigration proceedings.

“In this sense, we make a respectful but firm call to United States authorities for all immigration procedures to be carried out with adherence to due process, within a framework of respect for human dignity and the rule of law,” Sheinbaum said in her statement….”

Trump’s DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Accuses Mexico’s President of Inciting LA Protests From Oval Office: ‘I Condemn Her’​



“…“Claudia Sheinbaum came out and encouraged more protests in LA, and I condemn her for that,” Noem said. “She should not be encouraging violent protests that are going on.”…”
 


At some point, we have to ask ourselves if he is merely lying or genuinely insane.

I go back and forth on this but right now, I don’t think he’s insane. Or at least, I think he’s fully aware he’s lying. I think he’s realized he can create a reality that will be believed by a majority of Americans, regardless of how absurd it might seem to those of us who live in the real world. He just repeats that false reality over and over, and with remarkable consistency, until it becomes canon within the GOP.
 
As bad as this may seem, can you imagine how bad it would be if presidents were required to follow the law or face consequences? It's very good that there will be no cycles of revenge prosecutions because the president can't break the law.

Majority?
 
Majority?
Maybe not, but I worry a huge percentage of the apolitical assume Trump is telling something resembling the truth because they’re not plugged in enough to know better. Add them to the 40% of Americans who are plugged in but are gullible enough to trust Trump and it could potentially be a majority.
 
If they were protesting in favor of Trump he wouldn't give a damn. We saw that on Jan 6. I hope the military turns on his fat fascist ass.

A huge percentage of the apolitical do not care about this issue and are not even aware of this issue.

I'd wager that out of the 350 million Americans, maybe only 50 million of them have any idea there have been riots in LA. Of those, maybe 10-20 million have heard anything Donald Trump has said or done. And of those, maybe 50-60% think he is full of shit (even the Heelyeah's who vote for Trump don't believe most of what he says).

I am comfortable that there are not 175 million plus Americans who believe Donald Trump's lies about the military in Los Angeles.
 
I no longer think I have a clue what Americans believe. I stumbled on this today looking for something else. I frankly find all these numbers amazing and can't fathom the last one at all.


A significant portion of Americans, 66%, believe in supernatural healing by God, with 33% strongly agreeing and 33% somewhat agreeing. This belief is widespread, with 87% of Americans acknowledging that prayer or spiritual practices can help in the medical treatment of illness. While most Americans acknowledge the role of spirituality in recovery, fewer believe in the power of individuals to heal others through touch, with 31% believing in "miracle healers".
