(Soon to be) Former President Donald Trump

[Rumble de Thump]

The Republican politicians and their lickspittles have taken gaslighting to an extremely dangerous and damaging level. But it has become so commonplace that it's difficult to see how there will be any repercusions for them.

Jeezo, even famous actors are complete loonies too, I'm still bamboozled how the USA became this world superpower when it's full of weirdos and eejits.

Sad to see that, great actor, Runaway Train is a particular favourite. You just want to ask these people; where is the actual evidence? That’s the obvious question.

The President has said it's true. What further evidence do you need?

Wouldn't believe something just on his say-so. Would want it backed up by Tucker Carlson before I could be sure it's true.

James Woods is another one who has inexplicably wedded himself to Trump. I first watched Woods in the 1970s mini series Holocaust where he played a victim of the Nazis, so a kind of bitter irony that he has become such a cheerleader for Trump.

Him and Voight are weird looking to be fair, at least my theory of Trumps Weirdos is still intact.

Yup, terrific actor. He'll always be Joe Buck to me (just typing that starts Harry Nilsson's theme song playing in my head).

Thinking back to 2016, I had a conversation with some VERY senior members of the AICPA (the American accounting institute), and most of them were voting Trump. It worried me then, and now, that well educated people fall for his nonsense.

Seems strange to be that bothered.

There's no denying that he has done well where the economy is concerned, which is why they would vote for him based on his policies in that respect. He is still a **** though

It's not necessarily the nonsense. I know a lot of people who's only interest in politics, and the reason they vote republican, is "to keep my taxes down". A lot of them disagree with Trump and other republican policies but they always come out with "but my taxes are lower so I vote for them."

I honestly believe you can get far in American politics by saying 1) lower taxes 2) looser gun control 3) abortion bad. There are people I know who vote only on one of those three issues. In fact a friend of mine purposely voted trump because Hilary would take his guns away in 2016.

American politics is very, very strange.

It’s the masses that have been spoon fed the lie of trickle down economics.

Does an unemployed, black, single Mum from Baton Rouge, Louisiana really give a toss that the stock market is up 8 points?

No, but in the world of accountancy, then yes they do.

Yet some people say the current POTUS is likely to have had many abortions arranged. (Also on an unrelated point. I’m sure him holding that Bible the other day was one of the few times he’s actually held the Bible).

The bible is his favourite book apparently!

Grifter! How do people fall for him?

No they probably don’t but share ownership is much more widespread in the US than the UK.

There is also much more awareness of how markets pact their wealth (401k’s etc.) that here. Oddly most people in the UK still have no idea what their workplace pensions actually are or what they are invested in.

So while your point is accurate a rising stock market does have a significantly bigger influence in the US in politics than it ever has in say the UK elections.

Funnily enough they depict James Woods as a crackpot in Family Guy, Seth McFarlane has a wicked sense of humour and anyone is fair game on that show.

Off topic, butyou just reminded me of a Facebook post I had from a Sevco supporter telling me not to use McDonalds as "they admit in their accounts to funding the IRA".

The truth was that they funded their employees' Individual Revenue Accounts, or, as we would call them, pensions.

Similar to the Hun in the pub story who during the World Cup and the bunting was up took out his lighter and went to burn the Ivory Coast flag.

For reference

Ivory Coast = 🇨🇮
Ireland = 🇮🇪

They are also different proportions.


Ivory Coast is 2:3 while Ireland is 1:2
