In a move blatantly revealing his true loyalties, Trump suggests Russia should be reinstated to G7

Well, another day, another absolutely moronic statement from Trump.

'Trump threatens to end ALL TRADE with US allies'

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/06/trump-threatens-to-end-all-trade-with-allies.html

Whole new level of toddler tantrum right here. This is almost worthy of a new thread. Think I'll just edit the OP.
10 days ago? DAMNIT! I totally missed this gem. :rofl2:


Any chance the white house (and NY's Trump tower) can be separated from the rest of the USA (which will thenafter be known as USA2.0)? If so, I would totally agree with this move! :P

Speaking of things you missed, there's a vote to split California into three separate states on the ballot this November, two of which would be Republican-controlled

Because In California, Anything Goes!
I really... REALLY wish that we could just scrap the electoral college and popular vote system and just implement a) a ranked voting system (vs "one choice", like we have now), and b) a "one person = one vote" policy so that you truly get the will of the majority of the population and gerrymandering becomes a non-issue

I was really surprised how much he shilled for Russia at that summit.

It makes me sad, we're definitely moving towards authoritarianism. Give it another few decades and we'll be indistinguishable from China and Russia.
Hmm...to be honest: I wasn't. If anything, his 180-turns are just a bit faster than before. And since I'm not a US citizen, I can afford to find it hilarious. I mean...come on!

Trump: I want to cancel all economic sanctions on them, basically letting them off the hook for invading the Krim. And by the way: I see no reason why the Russians would help me win the election.
Press: wait...does that mean that Mueller's investigation is wrong?
Trump: Putin personally told me he had nothing to do with it and I believe him.
Governator Schwarzenegger: what's the matter with you? You look like a little wet noodle!
Trump: oh, wait...I misspoke. I meant to say that I believe what our intelligence department has uncovered.
Press: so...Russians are no longer tergetting us?
Trump: no.
Sarah Sanders: the president actually meant to say yes.


At this rate, I predict he ragequits his job by the end of the week. :P

This "news" is very one-sided. Are gaming forums now turning into Buzzfeed? I don't even like Trump but you won't get many people to side with you if they can see an attempt to manipulate.

Screw USA 2.0. I already got USB 3.1. It not only has a higher number. Nah, it also has a B instead of an A! B-)
... wait, speaking in alphabetical grades A is actually better than B... Dammit!

Three things:
1) this is sort of an off-topic section of the forum where everyone - left, right, up, down...whatever political preference - can choose and post. None of us are professional reporters, so don't expect unbiassed things
2) feel free to enlighten us with two-, three- or more sided news.
3) perhaps you haven't noticed, but there's a pretty lively discussion following most posts. If we just wanted to maintain our own narrow point of view, we'd lock our threads after posting stuff. Instead, we allow everyone to disagree and often discuss things in it.
