politics

This asshole is a symptom not the disease. Reconciliation following the Civil War enabled exactly this. It was not enough the south was defeated. Allowing the traitors to continue to fly their piss-soaked surrender flag enabled the losers to pass down their hatred, and now "the south is rising again." And is currently in charge.

Getting rid of Trump will not be enough. Every one of you knows someone who believes in and voted for what is currently happening. There can be no forgiveness for this. They need to be excised from civilization. All ofthem.

He (and the Republican party) are handing the future to China and making our futures less prosperous.

The Republican party is doing more damage to our nation than any of our adversaries could ever hope to. They are traitors and enemies of our nation.

I showerthoughted the other day a possible explanation: the Republicans are by aggregate reckless, the Democrats feckless. The Republicans cheer any stupid thing Trump does because they are reckless and don't consider or care about consequences. When the consequences come, the Democrats are too feckless to punish him and simply clean up the mess until Republicans find some new angle to bullshit the people into voting for them. Then the cycle reboots.

Every time the cycle restarts, the Republican gets worse. Reagan was bad, but in the moment his economic recipe worked. Then there was Bush, and he created the double calamity of the Iraq war and the 2008 Great Recession. Then there was Trump #45, and that was all about wealth redistribution towards the richest and enriching himself while his country was dying of COVID. Now we are at #47 and it's as if we are doing a speedrun towards the cliff.

Right now, it feels as nothing could top this shit show. But I am sure some Republican, somewhere, is thinking to himself, "Hold my beer!"

How appropriate for Bridge Day.

Makes sense as a Russian operative

USA is very close with Russia now, even supporting Órban re-election in Hungary which is also cooperating with Russia

Speaking as someone who is often ashamed to be from the US, I am glad that our global standing is finally dropping like a rock. We have spent a century bullying the rest of the world, but that will not happen anymore. Fortunately, the likely replacements--China and India--seem to be able to think in the longer term and should help create a more stable world.

Stupid god damned red states. Never forgive these morons for this asshole.

This is completely unfair to Trump. Trump is not burning bridges, he is blowing them up, to use the materials to build a NEW BRIDGE!!

A much better bigger more beautiful bridge, actually the best and biggest and most beautiful bridge EVER BUILT!!
And he calls it the big beautiful bridge to nowhere. I think it's supposed to end in the middle of the Atlantic, making it by far the longest bridge ever built.

So please people show some respect for the President will you?

Why should he care about Americas future? His primary goals are being famous and rich while staying out of prison. If the world burns, unless it concerns Mar-a-Lago, he could not care less.

Trump is the blooming peyote flower on top of the shit pile of several decades of abusive U.S. foreign policy. Despite what people might want to believe, continuity of policy is maintained regardless of who is in the White House. There’s only one guy that attempted to disrupt this continuity, and the MIC blew his fucking head off in front of the whole world, just to make sure everyone would know that it doesn’t matter who you are, they are in charge.

he's also burning through the fucking arsenal. good luck defending taiwan after this shit show.

Anything that puts the US farther away from being able to terrorize the world (like they did with Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Iraq, Afghanistan and so many more) is a win for Humanity.
