Might be well advised to ‘move on’.

Nah it was a good joke!

 

[GreyCrow]

Its a bold strategy but aside from that its whats needed. Pushback on ALL that is happening. Pushback on those in charge. Pushback on the agenda of the RP

 

[adelaidecrows]

Trump and his company's have been involved in over 4k legal cases .
Very interesting he never sues anybody over being called a peophile

I remember Hunter Biden begging Melania to sue him over his Epstein Claims as she served him the papers and when he said take it to court she dropped the case.

They know the evidence is out there.

 

[GreyCrow]

People for or against Trump sending help to Iran to topple their regime?

Im generally against it. I would suggest there are ''actors '' already in place helping push things certain ways

But boots on the ground - no I dont

Again I want the internal pressure to be the change maker

 

[GreyCrow]

Trump on track to be the worst presidency since Nixon by far.

I have him worse than WH Harrison and he died 3 months in from pneumonia caught on his inauguration day

There is little chance of a republican win in 28 elections.

I would hope for elections first

How many will compare it to Edward Snowden or Chelsea Manning

Funny see a lot of comments on Reddit that suddenly the 2A rights aren't as useful as they thought.

"would only escalate issues and cause martial law"
"what am I supposed to do, shoot a federal officer"

Maybe they're finally realising that the cosplay utopia they were living in doesn't hold up when the enemy has bullet proof vests, tear gas and the backing of a tyrannical government.

Can't wait for the tweets by dumb dumb claiming it was a "Radical leftist marxist socialist indoctrinated terrorist funded by Soros and ANTIFA"

I think the Israeli attacks last year put the regime on high alert and they had already cracked down on dissenters during that time. Their intelligence services would have gone into overdrive looking for traitors (any) and taken a lot of names.

It was a bad time to try with the Government and military on such high alert for infiltration. They'll already have missiles hidden ready to aim at US and Israeli targets.

Popular revolutions work when they're quick and spontaneous and unexpected and also have popular leadership.

I wouldn't lament the death of the ayatollah, or the removal of theocracy. But the odds of a democracy spontaneously flourishing are awfully low. And the Israelis and US would interfere and sanction until it was torn down even if there was.

I just don't see there being a chance of a successful democracy and a much greater chance of a greater, even more bloody, civil war. Look what happened to Syria, currently led by an ex-ISIS warlord and the USA is accepting the outcome....

Unlike all the other developed economies, the US doesn’t have a broad based middle class consumption tax (GST/VAT)

Some economists have long argued that it would be good for the US economy to have a GST … the problem is that nobody would vote for it.

What to do?

“We’re going to impose a tariff on China, and China is going to pay for it!!!” is probably as close as the US could get to a GST that people would vote for.

The US tariff on imports from Australia being at the same level as Australian GST isn’t a coincidence.

Except that is a bald faced lie and not how a tariff works.

 

[Carn The Berries]

There’s this thing called inflation, so you need to look at those things as a percentage of GDP.

You don’t need to exaggerate Trump’s failures to argue that he was shit President. All that does is turn people off and make them tune into the comfy world of Fox News.

The people that are watching (or may turn to) Fox news wouldn't understand the nuance in how the figures are reported.

That's an entirely redundant argument.

Very unlikely, but i would love to see this happen and see rumpy trumpy blow a fuse.

Fifa World Cup: What does president Donald Trump's foreign policy mean for USA 2026

As a group of cross-party MPs calls on Fifa to consider expelling the USA from the World Cup, BBC Sport analyses what Donald Trump’s foreign policy means for the tournament.

First dominos starting to fall. However I'm still pissed off Congress outright looked the other way for so long they should be ashamed.

As ****ed up as it sounds I think if Trump goes after Greenland then the other NATO countries need to sink an American aircraft carrier. Trump's support is hanging by a thread as it is, and if America loses an important aircraft carrier because of his ego then that support will not only dry up but Americans might even impeach him.

If Trump goes to war he wastes billions of tax payer dollars on a scrapped FIFA world cup. So if congress authorises this then it's hands down the most corrupt congress in USA history. But I suspect republicans may as well just resign because they will lose the mid terms. Catch 22. Be scared, bend the knee, lose the mid terms or have some balls, reign in that orange moron and perhaps win your mid term.

I guess it’s the middle class who generally buy Chinese goods. Of course the lower class do too, but they buy less of them. The US do have a large domestic food and energy production, so many of the essentials probably aren’t subject to tariffs as much.



Why did Australia replace its 20% sales tax with a 10% GST, and government revenues went up? (By a lot, far more than expected)

Answer - I have no idea, but if I did, and I could sell it, I’d probably be the leader of a nation state.

But whatever the US is currently doing clearly isn’t working given the tax shortfall and government debt.

When did Australia have a flat 20% sales tax

It was racism trump ranted endlessly about deporting those rapist murdering bad immigrants .
And they chose that over the obvious fact that Trump is an incompetent fool economically .
Now their at the find out stage of the f**k around..

Yeah.

There was a thing that PJ O'Rourke said when he endorsed Hilary Clinton - she's wrong about almost everything but at least she's wrong within normal parameters.

So, sure, folks might think Kamala Harris has an annoying laugh, and they could disagree about tax policies, but she sure at **** wouldn't be threatening to invade NATO allies.

And this is the thing right - do you want to live under the Iranian regime where you don’t get bombed every other day? Or do you want “democracy” like Iraq, Syria, Lebanon where Americas little attack dog Israel bombs you every day just because they can?

If Iran falls there is no opposition to Israel in the region. How is that going to work out?

This genuinely it’s possibly the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard.

What country in their right mind would start a war with the USA NATO would probably get beaten by the USA.

Europe will just kick America out of Europe. They have already threatened to close every US base in Europe.

Jon Stewart has been mixing political comedy and conscience for a long, long time now.

Off topic but if you've never watched it his speech to congress in 2019 about funding support for 911 first responders is something else.

I think the Shutter Island scenario is probably the best for Trump now. Let him play out president with a group of actors while the rest of the world gets on with it.
