    Poll: is Trump suffering from dementia?

    If Simpsons or South park hadn't predicted this, they weren't doing their job properly. But knowing Trump, he'll manage to double down on this as well...and get his staff to pretend this wasn't a blunder somehow. Anyway: I came accross this, and had to share: I'm not a fan of Jeffrey Sachs...

    Congratulations America! You did it!

    Hmm... I'm not sure if it's still a safe investment. In his first term, it was mostly just words (eg 'Brussels is a hellhole') . This term he's putting up tariffs, coups, wars... He's less getting stopped by mature voices in the white house, which makes the investment a whole lot more risky...

    Congratulations America! You did it!

    Hmm...I guess I shouldn't have asked a question I could have the answer to within a chat. According to AI, the USA is in reality in debt, mostly to these countries: HolderU.S. Treasury securities Japan$1.116 trillion United Kingdom$939.9 billion China, mainland$633.4 billion...

    Congratulations America! You did it!

    I have to admit I don't get national debt. Okay, the USA has it on a much larger scale, but most if not all countries I know have borrowed multiple millions to fund themselves. I get WHY they do it (if I build a school with borrowed money now, I can tax higher paid citizens down the line), but...

    The US is now at war with Iran

    Yes. That as wel (I know about child labor stories and the uyghurs).

    The US is now at war with Iran

    Worse: this is all the democrats seem to have been doing for the last decade. I watched a short docu on China the other day, and while you can make concerns about privacy or personal freedom, they've boomed and made their cities incredibly beautiful. Compare that to the state of the United...

    The US is now at war with Iran

    I wonder what the midterm election result from the region will be :P

    The US is now at war with Iran

    You forgot the mentioned low ammunition and even lower morale aboard the Abraham Lincoln. I'm not sure to what degree MAGA still supports Trump (unless you define the word by their loyalty to him). Most people here were already against his policies(1) for some time, but Trump now does pretty...

    Nigel Farage V Count Binface - The dumbest By-election in British History

    So...slightly under 30% of the votes if I calculate correctly. That's pretty impressive for someone who got 0.5% last election. But ey...now I agree with @Dark_Ansem : it was fun while it lasted.

    Nigel Farage V Count Binface - The dumbest By-election in British History

    Huh? Did Binface already lost? Unless I'm mistaken, you can cast your vote until...around 7 hours from this post.

    Poll: is Trump suffering from dementia?

    I never intended this thread to be funny because it isn't "funny stuff". I also intended to avoid discussing politics because there are plenty of threads about it to begin with. Sorry if my OP wasn't clear enough to your liking.

    Gaming What games are you currently playing?

    I'm trying to play Witcher 3, Tempest Rising and Yoshi's woolly world at the same time. Oh, and Untitled goose game, because that's obviously not enough. *buys a humble bundle* ... I'm not an addict. I can quit whenever I want to.

    Trump is the most corrupt US president in history

    Option 3: he has no clue. Honestly: if I was in the military and was told that munition is low, there'd be no way in hell I'd tell "my commander in chief" that. Not because it's bad news, but because he'd leak that information himself at the first opportunity. I'm not even kidding: give Trump...

    Trump is the most corrupt US president in history

    I remember reading an anekdote on that where he golfed against a kid, cheated and got caught. But even Trump's valet (or security) just vouched for Trump. I didn't brought it up because it was so petty and it was just somewhere early in his first term that I considered it unlikely (or more...

    Update: US and Israel begin bombing campaign against Iran

    Won't be that easy,I'm afraid. Perhaps if you include all Trump's personal capital, but look at this from their side: they had a deal, then had a loudmouth come in who wanted to renegotiate... By surprise bombing the leader and(among others) a school. Just offering the head of the loudmouth...
