This article neglects to mention what I am wondering most about: is there any merit to this case, are similar lawsuits staeted in Europe for example? Or is this another example of the US administration, funded by many many oil and gas dollars, going after the commercial enemies of its main financial supporters?

You need to leave him, no good person would do this. Also never send nudes with your face on it, that way sharing is safer

Let me guess, Republican right? It sounds like you have an ideological reason for keeping things the way they are in the US. What people mean when they say the US has a 2party system friend, is that it is a 2party system in practise, even though not formally. The reason that it becomes 2party in practise, is because of the American first past the post election system and also because its regional representation system. Both keep smaller parties from gaining power and making a threat to the bigger parties. In countries without those 2 systems, like many European countries, democracies commonly have many more political parties in practise, and power switches between them, and there are often coalitions to create a majority. This is both better for minority groups as well as for preventing power becoming entrenched, both of which are good for democracy and freedom. Also your argument that many multi party systems eventually move to 2 parties having lower is really not true, just have a look at all European countries that don't have regional representation and first past the post election systems.

Wdym that they become 2party systems? I disagree this is a result of regional representation and first past the post election systems. Countries that don't have that, but have more sensible election systems, don't have 2 parties at all. Many of those countries are much older than the US, by the way :p

America needs to move to a multi party system (only possible with direct representation and without regional representation). This would open up so many possibilities for Americans

What is going on in the US with the canceling of Jimmy Kommel's TV show? From what I read all he said was that the shooter might be right wing and that MAGA is desperately trying to pin it on the left. That appears exactly mirroring MAGAs messaging who have been blaming the left very hard everywhere, including the President. How is what he does wrong according to his employers but what MAGA is doing OK? I honestly don't understand the difference
