This thread is not about Covid, lockdowns, or vaccines. While Trump was in office during the pandemic and his response to Covid is relevant, there are pertinent threads for you to post your opinions on those topics.

On SRP you are responsible for backing up/verifying your claims to fact. What this means is that you will be asked time to time to support your claims with evidence, to ensure that this forum is as free of misinfomation as we can make it.

Do not post conspiracy theories on this forum. We have an entire other forum for that.

Thanks all.

Yeah, why would you leave countries that are routinely found to have the highest standard of living and happiness (as those 3 are) to go to the US which is actively going backwards???

Like I said on the cooker board, you'd have to be completely bonkers to even go on a holiday there now, let alone move there permanently.

Well here is a start. Many, if not most on here solemnly proclaim democracy is dead in the US. That is obviously absurd given they have had two rather large municipal elections in New York and Tennessee along with others in Miami. The elections were fought as they always have been fought and won by different sides. If that is not democracy then I don't know what is.

We have also seen the hysteria over the Venezuelen boat saga with 'experts' on here solemnly proclaiming it to be a war crime and/or murder. And that Trump and Hesgeth are somehow responsible. This story was seized upon however with nearly every 'scandal' involving Trump it was just empty - just vaccuous nonsense at the end of the day.

Pre election we had people earnestly declaring that Trump would make abortion illegal. Nothing of the sort has happened. In fact, there are less states now than before where abortion is illegal.

And I'm not even including the plethera of memes and X posts from nobodies whose pronouncements are treated like they are gospel.

I await next weeks scandal with interest. I'm predicting it will be Trump must have destroyed the spookily named 'Epstein Files' because his name is not mentioned in it and there is no smoking gun. But it could be anything else. Nothing surprises me.

 

[Crankyhawk]

You have a very cartoonish view of how these things work.
It’s not a video game. There is intelligence, planning and then implementation.
The idea that Hesgeth ‘drunkenly’ ordered the destruction of an innocent fishing boat for no reason is ridiculous.

So would be sharing attack plans with the general journalist populace but you know drunk pete

I get exhausted just reading about all the deal making and corruption going on. I keep coming back to, what possible motivation do these people who already have more money than could be spent in multiple lifetimes of having anything you want, have for their endless grifting for more. It's an illness and the sooner society classifies wealth hoarding as a mental illness the better. Same for people who want to control everything and everybody like Ellison and Thiel. It's just anxiety and insecurity that is off any measurable mental health scale. They are sick.

Exactly. I would live in a Scandinavian country in a heartbeat. The US now is off the charts crazy.

Thank you for the concept of 'wealth hoarding as a mental illness'. Its got a sort of Star Trek feel to it.

 

[Royces Hart]

How would I know?
On face value seems confusing but probably a million reasons for and against.
As a hypothetical - could be genuinely innocent or cut a deal to get someone higher up or it’s a fishing expedition to get someone. Literally could be thousands of reasons why.

Yeah, I can definitely think of the million reasons why Trump would pardon him.

And awwww, he could be genuinely innocent. Mr Evidence and believes in the courts, only seems to have an issue with justice when it involves Trump or someone Trump adjacent.

I dont think it's been established that he wants to keep his dick in his pants....

Saw this in the replies..some I am not familiar with so might be a good summer reading list

 

[Cyber_punk]

Is Bigfooty included as a form of social media ……?

Tourists to US would have to reveal five years of social media activity under new Trump plan

Plan would apply to countries not currently required to get visas to the US, including Britain and France

Why did Trump pardon him?

Trump was backing his party in the up coming election

Chief has donated to Trump so we should be cool

I will piss on a tree in his honour.

Nor will national parks have free admission on Martin Luther King Jr Day any longer – but they will now be free for US residents to visit on Trump’s birthday.​

Which happens to be flag day which is not a national holiday

Yeah move an observance of MLK Jr's day to the birthday of a racist slum lord.

Very American.

 

[Chief]

I am curious about these Somalians.

Didn't most of them get done for welfare fraud? They were sending money to Somalian terrorist organisations?

Don't start on illah Omah. She is Somalian 1st and American last.

Jesus. Why do the racists come HERE when they have Twitter?

Yep, those scandals where Trump was said to be a grifter, rapist and fraud all petered out and were frivolous.

Oh wait....

 

[Romeoh1]

All I notice is people on here are on some sort of doom loop. They invent a 'scandal', get outraged for a week - then when they realize its ridiculous or it doesn't come to fruition they rinse and repeat.

It’s absurd and farcical. Nobody actually believes all this nonsense in the real world. It’s like the boy who cried wolf. Speak enough rubbish and people just stop listening and you end up being laughed at.

If you believe trump is going ok, then I’m sorry, but it’s more fool you.

Well worth a read.

I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.

Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal.

Sobering thoughts.

There's some lovely parts of the US to visit. Has a spectacular countryside

That's just petty depressing small minded stuff. To think someone went to the trouble of drafting an Executive Order and all the clearances it would have gone through to get to this.
