We actually have tv shows dedicated to the US election, why wouldn't we be interested to post in a thread about it? That's the nature of US politics, isn't it?

Congrats on "your" victory, btw. Hopefully it benefits you in the long run. For me, this is the only thing anyone should base their vote on, rather than cult of personality or left vs right. I understand and agree with the sentiment that modern politics is pushing more people to the right, we see this in Europe too, but if Trump is the economic saviour then that is most important to the average man. The likelihood is that Trump isn't going to realise most of what he says because he talks a lot of hyperbole and general crap, but there is an element of that with every politician. Because he is a walking caricature it gets magnified.
It's pretty unlikely that a billionaire who has grifted his entire business career and is now carrying around billions of debt with zero possibility of ever paying them back is going to be the saviour of the common man.

You don't even need to look at whatever policy he might be proposing to realise as much.

If anything Trump shows that unbridled capitalism is probably not the way to evolve as a society.

Not those you just pulled the ladder up on.

Say adiós to your Mexican brothers.
My own Mexican brothers, California is still Mexico. California is not that old. Was never really about that for me. It was about hearing “Men can get pregnant” “Man ranking 200 something ranking number one in women’s swimming” I like to think my great job wasn’t cause of a “DEI hire” it cause of merit, not because I’m a minority.

Most of all for me, who missed great comedy movies, won’t see another Tropic Thunder, Road Trip, Super Bad etc. cause of protecting people’s feelings. No more laughter in this world, can’t we laugh at ourselves. Dave Chappelle knows what’s up.

Trump wants to effectively wipe out the Middle East apart from Israel.

Other than that I agree. This love relationship between the US and Europe has been toxic for a while now. The US got so much from us, only on the (weak) promise of military aid when needed. This is a great opportunity to untangle ourselves and do better.
The Abraham Accords seem to indicate otherwise. Or acknowledging that Iraq was a mistake, I don’t think war is in his nature, he’s more a business guy.

Either way we agree on Europe here, I’ve been hating that for such a long time. Sometimes it’s shocking to see how much we lack

Boekestijn en De Wijk is a interesting podcast on Spotify. It’s worth listening, last week they briefly discussed this possible side effects of Europe distancing themselves more now Trump is back.

When you moving to Portugal @Bjerknes?
If you have money, Portugal seems a pretty awesome place to live.

I think his assumption is that he can do business with Israel and companies that are inclined to favour Israel if he supports them.

Do you realize that movies are not made by the president? This will not change. Might get even worse tbh.
Who can or can't participate in women's swimming and other sports also isn't decided by US president. It is up to IOC and each separate sport federation.

So congratz. This is your main issue and you made 0 progress with it :baus:

Wait, what?

You voted for Trump, because you think he will make movies?

You know what I mean the group that supports Harry Balz is why we can’t make real movies anymore. It’s only Marvel cookie cutters and everyone is included no matter if it doesn’t make any sense.

I really don't. Do you know what you mean? You sound drunk. Or maybe you've eaten some out of date dogs?

What a fucking shit candidate Harris must be to lose to a senile old rapist. Just like Hillary Clinton, it's their own fault for picking an utter inept bitch to represent them. The people have picked a straight talking nut job over a weasel politician and I think that's brilliant.

Democrats need a hard reset and perhaps they pick a candidate next time for the good of the people. Maybe present some good policies rather than dodge every question and slate Trump constantly. Trump is a shitbag, but less of a shitbag than Harris and friends. Trump is a 'what you see is what you get' guy, snakes like Harris will cause mayhem and you won't know until 10 years later.

How old are you?

You don't have to answer if you don't want to, but I'm genuinely curious.
