Drill Baby Drill...the US Politics Thread (Part 2)

Edited to FB has become (even) much worse the last couple of years. What I wrote in lenght about FB and my gripes, isn’t really interesting for others and is not on topic.
(unless someone really wants to hear about the alternative history nonsense the algorithm is feeding me, as well as more ads.).

He argued I was the one importing nuggets into his market so I needed to pay extra.

Because the Democrats are the only opposition that matters. And if they don’t get their sh1t together, this is going to go on for a long time.

The idea that Trump is a great negotiator is the biggest load of shit around.

Basically give Russia everything and get nothing in return.

Art of the Deal my a$$

Tell him the non chlorinated chicken nuggets you are importing cost more as they are healthier so he should be paying the extra

Everything is happening so fast that reactions must come now asap. He is moving to break up NATO in an amazing speed, uncontested by his own party (those of them in power, doesn’t help that Mike Pence posts stuff like this: x.com )

Yes, of course, but the speed it is happening is very frightening. I fear reactions will be too late. It’s scary.

I wonder about this too. There seems to be a total and complete capitulation in the United States to the breaking events, that are all happening in astounding speed. None of them are particularly surprising, but the speed is higher than even pessimists like myself (who have been depressed since he won the elections, since this was what I had forecasted) had as a Worst Case Scenario, and I was told that I was overecting and misreading it. I was certainly not overeacting, if I misread it, it was only because I too was too naive and thought it would take more time to convert the US into an autocracy and that we had a bit more time to react and play catch up. But there is no time. None at all. :confused:

FIFY :sob:

I kinda get that many Americans don’t give a shit about Europe or the rest of the world. But this lame response to the total takeover of their own country…

You continue saying this, but what are your expectations?

To be fair, the man can walk to France…

The rule of law has been set aside, military and economic treaties set aside, government departments essentially shut down by non-elected pseudo-experts, the list goes on, and it is now one month in.

Maybe the question should be about your expectations?

After all, storming Congress apparently gets you a glorified parking ticket.
