Poor Charlie, he is the one who should "wake up and smell the coffee".
The Russian invasion of Ukraine began during the Hussein Obama administration when Crimea was seized while Obama "slept". More recently, while the Joe Biden administration "slept", Russia expanded its efforts to take more Ukrainian soil. President Trump inherited the problem and now has engaged the NATO partners to accept more responsibility for defense. Moreover, the realization that some form of compromise is likely the only way to end the slaughter is becoming a widely held opinion. At a minimum, it is doubtful that Russia will return the area known as Crimea to the Ukrainians.
The Epstein file contains the identities of many prominent Democrats, Hollywood elites, and foreign elites such as a Prince from the UK. The Epstein files will be brought into political play when the timing suits the need for disclosure. The political ramifications will not favor those who are supporters of, or who are political elements in the Democrat party.
The Democrat political party would have gladly released this information during the last several election cycles, but couldn't, because it does not impact Trump.
Unfortunately, the problem is just another visible and outward symptom of disfunction. Our Country can be better than this. But, it is up to us to put a stop to the status quo.
Porcupine is 100% spot on. The lack of reliable basic services (electricity, water, phone and internet service, fire suppression, medical facilities) are all examples of a dysfunctional Government.
Somehow, someway, it simply has to improve. My business requires that I must travel to many different countries, all of whom are able to provide reliable basic services. There is a level of comfort that goes with that knowledge. Unfortunately, when I return home (New Providence), my comfort level is severely diminished, and I must be prepared to fend for myself and my family.
President Trump was simply promoting and bringing attention to the World Cup which will be held in the US.
As for Epstein, the information will be released as necessary. The majority of individuals who should be concerned about the publishing of documents will need to become more willing to compromise on policy and move to the center politically if they want to remain unnamed.
The link provided identifies who in the US House of Representatives voted for and who voted against the bill that President Trump recently signed into law. A close examination of Georgia Representatives ballots indicates Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene voted for the bill.
Middle class families (especially those with children), senior citizens over the age of 65, persons who work for tips (waitresses, bartenders, Uber drivers, etc), employees who work overtime, to identify just a few will benefit from the bill President Trump signed into law. Over the long term, the bill provides funding for more border security, strengthens Homeland security, and the US military. All of which the majority of Amercians voted for when they elected Trump.
As for the US stock market, millions of individual US citizens retirement accounts, state government employee pension funds, local municipality employee pension funds, local school teacher pension funds and retirement accounts, police and fireman pension funds and retirement accounts, Teamster union pension funds, United Auto Workers union pension funds, and many, many others are invested in the US stock market. Which, over the long term has provided large returns to investors.
Many in the world community consider the Islamic regime in control of Iran to be the number one sponsor of terriorism. This includes members of the EU, large numbers of middle eastern countries and many others. Over the last 45/+ years numerous worldwide efforts have been undertaken to limit the Iranian regime from obtaining a nuclear weapon. These efforts will not stop going forward. Which benefits all of humanity.
Not unlike our own government, the United States government was bloated and needed restructuring and reorganization.
Trump Derangement Syndrome prevents many from being able to accept and admit the situation.
Securing the border, deporting illegal aliens, NATO increases in defense spending, protecting women's sports, protecting American digital services from unfair tax levy's, ABC and CBS/Paramount law suit settlements, dismantling and/or interrupting Iran's nuclear weapon capacity, positive movement in the stock market (record highs), increase in jobs and lower unemployment, and passing of a tax bill that will provide relief to millions of Americans. All are wins for President Trump and those millions of Americans who voted for him.
The only chaos is with the Democrats, who are currently reeling from having to deal with the unhinged left wing faction of the party which will face much opposition from the so called moderate Democrat political traditionalists.

LOL! Please expand on your statement that "Perhaps some have not read nor understand what the US Constitution demands". Enlighten us with the specifics of your Constitutional knowledge.
In a modern society, emergency services such as fire and rescue are basic level Government functions. In some cases, it can be accomplished by well trained and well equipped volunteer departments. Unfortunately, we have neither.
