You said it was "terrifying to America" and "No one wanted it".

That's your opinion. It's your opinion that you stated as a fact. I think a lot of people wanted it. I personally know many people who were excited about it and wanted it. It may be terrifying to leftists, but certainly not to America as a whole.

He absolutely did. The selective memory of those who are so vehemently against Trump just makes that side seem ridiculous and disingenuous.

The Obama administration has used the Espionage Act to go after whistleblowers who leaked to journalists, more than all previous administrations combined.

The Obama Justice Department seized the records of phone lines that Associated Press employees used. AP confirmed that the records were from personal home and cell phones of reporters and editors, as well as phones that AP used in the press quarters of the House of Representatives. ABC, CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Committee for Freedom of the Press, submitted a letter of protest to Attorney General Eric Holder about the raid.

That's somewhat true currently.

If you ship mail or packages with UPS, FedEx, Etc they are allowed to open and inspect what you send. The USPS is not allowed to do that, not without a warrant. When people ship drugs via mail they use the USPS for that reason, that it's more difficult for them to obtain warrants to discover suspected drug shipments while a UPS or FedEx will happily open any package they suspect may not be legal to send.

If you can't separate your personal opinion from a factual statement like this, you're not someone worth listening to.

Yes to the first question, and no to the second.

That literally never happened. No matter how much as they (& you) claim it did, and want it to be true, not a single shred of evidence ever substantiated those claims. In fact the prisoners of war that were captured all claimed they were treated fairly, even given the squalid conditions their captors were forced to live in.

There are a few things I only get intentionally when traveling for work so it's something to look forward to and brings something positive to the trip.

Only Jewish pedophiles & criminals. Israel will not let in random non-Jewish criminals to flee prosecution, only those who are provably Jewish are granted citizenship and non-extradition.

It's a near guarantee. I've been in dozens of power plants where the engineering workstations or operator interface terminals are running Windows XP or Windows 7. More than zero of which were not properly air-gapped. If those sites (with sizable CapEx budgets) delay upgrading for various reasons I would expect grocery store chains to keep whatever they have running until it's broken to the point of not being fixable without a complete overhaul.

Except they are clearly taking a stance in opposition to Swedes' freedom to decide how they want their country to be governed.

Which is what makes it the hollow virtue signaling I said it was. I never claimed they were being censored.

It's because they are a political party, and he was donating to it. There's no better definition of being punished for a political opinion than being punished to donating to a legitimate party.

And their not "fascists", it's a Swedish nationalist party. Naming everything you don't like as "fascist" is a quick way to have your opinion dismissed as crazy.
