8. (01:06:28) It's so disturbing that over the last 20+ years, the bar only gets lower and lower for the US government's "don't believe your lying eyes" behavior. They've proven that no one in power even cares about US citizens' lives at home or abroad, so I should stop being surprised.

16.  (01:19:40) You haven't offered a solution 🤷🏻‍♂️ There is no mechanism for a third party! Learn your civics! There is no way in hell can a third party be effective in national federal elections. It's built into the winner take all system, no matter how many local third pay candidates you vote for. School boards and many local races are non partisan! How are you going to get the two parties give up their power? You need to read this: https://www.heritage.org/conservatism/commentary/project-2025 Progressives need to take over the Democratic Party. That is the only solution.
