U.S. was only country in a worldwide survey to say most fellow citizens are bad people A new Pew survey shows that other countries’ citizens tend to look more favorably on their neighbors.

A Pew Research survey found that 53 percent of Americans view their fellow citizens as morally or ethically “bad,” the only country with such a majority.

In the 24 other countries polled, most people said they see other residents as ”good.”

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do
