USA has not voted Conservative. They voted for Leon. You must be shattered.

EFA

I said not to far off do you disagree?

You missed the point of the post you responded to. He was questioning if all of Europe would change, you know, given all the different countries in Europe?

And it's "too (far off)" not "to".

You'd have loved the 1930s by the sounds of it. Fascist Governments coming in to power.

How'd that turn out?

How is it an echo chamber when you are allowed to dribble this nonsense?

Once the supposed investigation is abandoned for complete lack of substance, I hope Cheney sues the arse off Trump for defamation.

The guy is a dead-set moron.

In a way I feel sorry for him. He and his cronies will never have enough of anything. Enough money. Enough grievance. Enough dissatisfaction with their lot in life.

I wonder when was the last time they were stopped in their tracks by that earthy smell when a light rain starts to fall. Or when a glowing purple and orange sunset appears over the horizon. Or giggled and waved when a baby on a bus locks eyes with yours and grins from cheek to cheek. Felt that surge of nostalgia when you hear a big hit from your youth, even when it’s a song you never much liked at the time.

Or any of the other things that life is really all about.

He does that one!

 

[Randomizor]

Trump supporters: Now that the Gaetz report is out, do you think Trump made a MISTAKE in tapping him for AG?

Or is Trump still completely infallible in your eyes?

 

[Royces Hart]

It would be more shocking if it were revealed that Gaetz didn’t have to pay for sex.

 

[Xtreme]

He does that one!

Releasing a full video with The Donald dancing to YMCA will attract BILLIONS of views, that's right!

Trump won by grafting the moral universe of pro wrestling onto a presidential election.

Sadly the electorate was revved up for it and devoured it willingly.

When a winning majority in the world’s most powerful nation is now demonstrably lapping up this sort of shit, the world is in big trouble, and I really don’t know what the cure is.

There’s a great scene from Christopher Isherwood’s Goodbye to Berlin, about his time in Germany just as the Nazis were taking over (and the basis for the movie, Cabaret) about how working class men would go to watch fixed boxing matches.

They knew the matches were rigged but it was the violence they were seeking.

It’s stunning to read how history repeats.

Lots of Trump voters think they're the allied soldiers fighting for freedom.

They don't realise they're the Germans voting for a despot.

Doubt if they would care about any of that sort of thing. Much too "woke".

And that is why I pity them.

Once you have sufficient to live securely and comfortably, is there anything more boring in the world than money?

We tend to look back on past empires and societies and think to ourselves that we have learnt from their mistakes or that we will be different. While some of that is true, in reality much of the same applies. The world is just as susceptible to populist sociopaths as it has ever been.

It's all a big cycle of self harm.

Smoke just came out of Trump’s ears.

I read a good comment recently, for someone like Musk, it's not really about the money, the money just represents the scorecard. More money means a higher score.

There's no need whatsoever for the actual cash dollars. You could take 99% of Musk's wealth (~ $436bn) away today and he wouldn't notice one iota of difference to his life. He'd still be a multi-billionaire.

Same goes for Bezos and the low-paid Amazon workforce who actually do the bulk of the actual work that makes him so wealthy.

Yep, they're not emotionally healthy at all, but they don't care. To someone like Trump, money, power and attention is everything. I don't think he'd ever find money boring.

The BF salt mine in full works, Canada to go conservative in the new year, Europe hopefully not to far off, the UK in a world of shit with that clown Starmer running it into the ground, hopefully the trend continues here Merry Xmas losers.

Hey, at least people work hard in salt mines, unlike you at forming your opinions.

European countries have elected conservative parties before, some have them in power now, others will do so again. This isn't a new phenomenon. Similar with Canada. Poland's most recent parliamentary election ended up with a more moderate pro-EU centre/right coalition, shifting from the further right Law and Justice party. France avoided a far-right government, with the centre/left admirably putting differences aside. Spain re-elected a centre-left government.

If you're cheering on the rise of far-right parties, then well, that's your own moral failing.

The fact that you think the UK's issues have begun under Starmer is hilariously ignorant, maybe selective amnesia at its finest. Similar if you think our economic issues began when Labor took office in 2022.
