How so? He pled guilty, and the judge at his sentencing advised him to be an actively better person lest his sentence be harsher than maybe Flynn was expecting - which he wasn't. So how was justice served?
Only a once-in-a-century pandemic could disrupt such a term, which is amazing considering all that was thrown at it. And here you guys promised us the next Hitler... — NOS4A2

180 Proof, many Americans really don't care at all about "national interests". National interests are the agenda of the evil political elites, so in their mind Trump is doing a great job!As reported here & elsewhere, months ago the

was told that his "handler" Putin has been paying Afghan Taliban to kill US troops. Told months ago. And, like the Covid-19 outbreak, the pos-in-Chief has ignored this danger to Americans & our national interests. 'Treason' by inaction - depraved indifference mass homicide - at best. — 180 Proof
What makes you think the USA will never recover. Other countries recovered from much worse. Even Germany recovered after Hitler.Trump is not the culprit of the downfall of US leadership and Superpower status, he is just contributor that makes the downfall even more rapid. — ssu

Let's put another way. It's unlikely that the US will ever be in a position it was in the Eisenhower era. Now it's rather unlikely that the US will find itself in the position where it was at the end of the Cold War.What makes you think the USA will never recover. Other countries recovered from much worse. Even Germany recovered after Hitler. — Wheatley
I’m not too fussed to tell you the truth. Do you think all attention and pressure on the US has benefited it? Keep in mind all the foreign terror attacks and wasteful wars.The downfall is in issues really like Global leadership. Things like what the US President says doesn't matter (yeah, people don't read the tweets no, but I mean in the classic sense). — ssu
How about having the ability to print trillions of dollars with the World accepting the printed money (or treasuries) and finance the state through all that debt financing? Sorry to say, but part of your wealth (which is distributed quite inequally, as you know) exists because of your Superpower status.Do you think all attention and pressure on the US has benefited it?

What should the US do about that now? Terribly sorry you don’t like the US, we’ll stop being the word’s currency, just for you.How about having the ability to print trillions of dollars with the World accepting the printed money (or treasuries) and finance the state through all that debt financing?

You see, other countries would have had long time ago a current account crisis. — ssu
True; but what's also true: Active duty US military care. US military veterans & retirees care. Families of US military personnel care. That'll be far more than enough defections from his "base supporters" (along with foreclosed farmers, uninsured coalminers, dead & terrified seniors in Florida & Arizona, etc) to guarantee Putin's Running Mate gets run out of office in November. Or, more mercifully, maybe taken-out before then "by one of his own" MAGAts who's been PTSD'd by the quadruple losses of "American Greatness" to pandemic, depression-level unemployment, mass social unrest and now this traitorous betrayal of US soldiers to GRU-financed Taliban hit squads. Yeah, FDT - "great job"! :up: :shade:180 Proof, many Americans really don't care at all about "national interests".

Nah.
He simply is inept at leadership and a very ignorant person with huge personal flaws, even if he's a great populist orator for a certain type of crowd. Trump is not the culprit of the downfall of US leadership and Superpower status, he is just contributor that makes the downfall even more rapid.
And he’s still doing a better job than any grandiloquent, Ivy-league lawyer that has dominated the position until now. That’s the best part: I get to watch Trump reveal the ineffectiveness of establishment politicians, and a better country to boot. — NOS4A2

I am not confident in Trump’s re-election.
Obama brought the country out of the Great Recession, and was re-elected. I think that even Trump’s supporters realize on some level that he’s far too incompetent to deal with the current state of affairs.
