Election 2024: The Fate of Democracy

RichM No, that’s not what I am saying. I see the government has now pivoted to a third runway at Heathrow. Is that destroying the planet too

RichM · 25 Jan

alistair fair point, it won’t help the planet. Maybe if they encourage cheaper fees for airlines at the 3rd runway for airplanes which are more environmentally friendly that may be a good start.

Dubman It really is like something from a nightmare.

I see Trump has given Starmer some praise, saying he is doing a good job. That will be pissing off Farage and Musk, which is nice

Apparently his call with the Danish PM went as you would expect. A new age of American imperialism it is then. Great.

All that power has gone to his head. He going to be far worse than last time. Its frightening.

Millsy · 26 Jan

Dubman yep. Looks like it. Greatest country in the world though, so we are all blessed

Dubman This is what happens when the Supreme Court decides that consequences don’t apply to you. He doesn’t need to get re-elected, it’s going to be drastically different this time.

What did he accomplish in from 2016-2020? Almost nothing because of the infighting and general incompetence. This time, he’s got project 2025 directing him, which is why we’ve seen the flurry of executive orders already. He’s not smart enough or capable of the planning that something like this takes to be effective.

If we didn’t live next door and have to deal with the immediate fallout, I’d actually enjoy watching him burn everything down.

He’s begging you to become part of America so you can enjoy Private health care insurance.

Dubman I think there’d be more Canadians willing to sign up for the war of 1812 part 2 than he realizes.

It’s the arrogance of Trump which makes him so dangerous.
Don’t forget the tariffs coming your way in February.

Sounds like Colombian presidente has responded to Orange cunts tariffs with same.

Must like his Bobby Brown. Like the cut of his jib!

He told everyone during the election he had nothing to with project 2025.

If Trump presses Canada to become part of the US, then the EU should extend Canada a membership invitation instead. It would actually make a decent amount of sense.

Canada can then help out with Greenland while telling the US to fuck off again.

Dubman · 26 Jan

I read earlier that the UK has first dibs over Greenland before the US could take it over.

Dubman It’s impossible to forget, the tariffs are all we’re hearing about. We’ll see how dedicated he is to tanking the US economy.

Dubman Lol I’m aware. He’s only taken on the authors as advisors and installing them in positions to erode core institutions. I don’t think people are concerned enough about this.

He’s getting ‘smallman doorbell’ value for his flights:

C-130E Aircraft: Costs between $68,000 and $71,000 per hour, resulting in an estimated cost of $816,000 to $852,000 for a similar trip. In contrast, a chartered flight by DHS costs only $8,577 for the same journey.
