    Some of them are too far gone though, thats the problem. Rather then realise they are stupid, ignorant a*shats, they would rather dig their heels in.

    You reap what you sow, this man really thought trump had a plan and had supports in place for importing businesses?? How stupid can you be and how smart did he think Trump was? Even more then that he did not seem to admit he was wrong, rather just that people should not make fun of him for making the wrong decision??

    What I found most interesting about the guy, is how left-wing US he sounded. "I'm a good person."We should all care about each other regardless of who we voted for." Definitely sounds on the left, but clearly is full on (if not aware) Trumpist.

    I don't buy that "left wing" for a second; he's reaching for the "We should all care.." bit because he's been adversely affected and can't deal with the same Trump style retorts he's now experiencing. He cared not one jot for others when he voted for Trump yet others are supposed to care for him now?

    Ten years ago DJT impersonated a disabled journalist; they all laughed along with him; he can stick his "We should all care" up his hole.

    Yes to all of the above, but there must be a good 80m or so voters who haven't been been voting for Trump since 2016 and are probably looking on horror. But as you say, the MAGA goons appear to have taken over the country and are sending it over a cliff, without much opposition either.

    Republicans in general are socialist when it's on a really small scale in their immediate bubble, it's kind of funny.

    The most obvious example is that due to the ridiculous cost of healthcare, many Christian Church groups have their own shared "insurance". Essentially they all pay into a group fund and then if any member of the church gets sick, medical expenses are paid out of the fund.

    They'll also be really helpful within their own community (hilariously despite being anti-regulation and government overreach they'll generally sign up to live in a HOA estate with ludicrously restrictive rules - see Florida for examples!) But they'll be neighbourly and help shovel snow from other people's drive in winter or share food or donate to local charities etc.

    It's only on a national scale or where they think their money will help people NOT like them that they have a problem.

    If it's medical bills for someone from their own church? Sure! Socialism is great! But if their hard earned dollars go to pay for a faceless stranger to get the benefit of the social security net? Fúck em. They should have worked harder.

    Look 22.2% of the population directly voted for Trump which in a winner take all election system means the rest become unrepresented

    It’s a mathematical fact that half the population have below average intelligence

    So it’s quite likely that most of this 22% are thick as planks and deserve all the leopard face twerking coming their way

    It’s the small percentage of population that are smart and voted for Trump (tech bros, ceos) who are now looking on in horror (f**k em too)

    And of course we had the “but but Trump would be better for Palestine” crowd who were incredibly enough cheering for Trump

    The UK must allow free speech if they want a trade deal!

    Meanwhile in the US



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,273 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    I'm surprised people aren't warning Starmer off signing a trade deal with Trump. It sounds like potentially bad news for the UK with many alarm bells flashing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 367 ✭✭poop emoji


    He might want to chat with Canada and Mexico about what free trade deals with Trump result in



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,228 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    I know Canada and Britain are facing different scenarios, but it's gotta be annoying for those in the colony to see their daddy kowtow to Trump while they are so willing to fight against it. Elbows up and all that



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,025 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    As I said before, absolutely zero sympathy for any trump voter who is subsequently hurt by his policies. I will give them this badge maybe, but that's all..

    I wonder will our universities make a move like the French? Maybe the French universities are quicker off the mark than our own, who probably feel they have to look to the relevant Government Demartment(s) for permission to do anything.

    https://www.theguardian.com/education/2025/apr/17/nearly-300-applications-to-french-university-offer-to-take-in-us-academics

    Given our common language, Irish universities should find it easier to attract top talent. Maybe joint action by European and other nations could shift a huge proportion of the USA's human capital abroad. Ultimate triumph of the Know-Nothing party.

    We should definitely be making plans regarding it, but more as a European entity rather than individual countries offering 'deals'.

    It's so bizarre what is happening rn on the US side. Fine, they want jobs and infrastructure back. That's pretty understandable really, but they seem to think that people will just decide overnight to relocate their careers and residence, and somehow at the same time smuggle all of the multi billion dollar factories with them while they do it.

    The US is cooked



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,901 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    By free speech they mean what we agree with.

    It's all getting stranger and stranger.

    "We doing a deal, a beautiful… with Keir Sutherland... he's the Prime Minister in England and I said if you want a deal we've gotta have free peaches… you gotta give us free peaches… beautiful, perfect free peaches… and Kiefer… Sir, he said, Sir you can have all the free peaches you want… so we're gonna go and deal and have free peaches… I'll sign the deal…"

    Saw that, but what hit me the most was he said something along the lines of "When the rest of the world are starving, they'll come back to the table". He seemed to believe that all other countries were reliant on US farming exports to survive.

    Looks like Trumps jackboot has the republican party representatives firmly stamped in place

    “We are all afraid,” Lisa Murkowski ( Alaska Republican senator ) told Alaska nonprofit leaders on Wednesday, according to The Anchorage Daily News. “It’s quite a statement. But we are in a time and a place where I certainly have not been here before. And I’ll tell ya, I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice, because retaliation is real. And that’s not right.”

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/lisa-murkowski-donald-trump_n_6800fb8ae4b027910a15d38f

    I did hear elsewhere that the retaliation is threats to representative familys and also violent threats. Trump is definitely a Mafia Don owning & turning the US into one big crime syndicate.

    Im still puzzled as to why its taking so long for the US Citizen to cop onto this and do something about it. Its almost as if the vast majority of the population are in denial, believing Oh No this is NOT happening in the USA.

    And another thing - I hear some talking that the midterms in 2 years or an election in 4 years will sort this out. Dont think so, i think they only have weeks, maybe a few months to deal with this, not years.

    R2D2 and C3PO are going to be doing all the heavy lifting apparently.

    Trump doesn't give a flying **** about American workers or their jobs.

    you might , for a change , CONCENTRATE ON THE MESSAGE and not the messagenger. Am using CAPS so as to help you on what is the key to what I am saying!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,025 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    Lisa Murkowski had plenty of opportunities to do something about 45 and didn't.

    Talking about retaliation like it's something new in his playbook.

    She can go and....

    The idiot speaks again. Now with the Italian PM.

    "Jimmy Carter died a happy man ….. because he died knowing he wasn't the worst president. Biden was."

    FFS. He just keeps getting more idiotic, childish and insulting.

    Where does he get all that hate from?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,321 ✭✭✭dinorebel


    Not working then so, comes across as a bit tragic if I'm honest.

    His abusive dad… probably

    His abusive dad.. probably. Poor wee Donny grew up with nothing else in his mind than to always be the biggest suck up to a more powerful person



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,025 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    "Where does he get all that hate from?"

    If the rumours are to be believed, perhaps it's from having a small penis

    Unfortunately we can try and head in the other direction to MAGA but I don't think America is just going to leave us (or our politics and our societies) alone.☹️

    The scum around Trump seem obsessed with "Europe" and the EU, how we are going the wrong way and Putin (and various pro Russia nut jobs in each country, who mostly brown nose Trump and MAGA as well) will set us on the right path!

    They are coming more into the open now with opposing Ukraine (and by extension, their supporters in Europe) too (vs just pulling back US involvement) and trying to engineer some sort of face saving success for Putin there + drag his roasting chestnuts out of the fire.

    At this stage, I wish they would stick to their original rhetoric (Ukraine is Europe's problem, the US won't help, we want nothing more to do with it) and just f-ck off rather than have this horrible US romancing of Russia.

    From knowing that he's inferior to everyone else. He's never earned or accomplished anything in his whole life. Everything has just been handed to him. On some level he knows this and he judges everyone else by his own low standards accordingly.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    Leviticus 19:34



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,877 ✭✭✭CFlat


    I dunno about that. I'd say he's a huge penis.

    He heard that Gandhi drank his own piss but misheard it as faeces.
