Trump

303abuser How do you effectively combat that level of ignorance?
Try to understand how they arrived at thier current position I guess. Two main things come to mind, firstly trickle down economics didnāt do what it said on the tin.
Combine that with a political system where the only realistic alternative is another party of crooks who recently tried to pull a fast one on the electorate by propping up a president who spent most of his second term shitting himself, due to a severe cognitive impairment.
mono-stereo but the 30% core were always in with Trump, theyāre mostly the religious nut jobs too - how do you square that circle?
Along_the_Wire Haha appreciate the clarification. Iām wondering if theyāre just shorting the market every few weeks. If thatās not it, then I can only assume itās gross incompetence.
Mad_Cyril Absolute cunts. The Trump admin, not you and Grant.
mono-stereo Itās a false equivalence though, isnāt it? Sure, the democrats are useless and corrupt, but not as useless and corrupt as the republicans and definitely not as destructive or dangerous. And itās not like Trump isnāt cognitively impaired. At least Biden was competent at some point in his life, you canāt say the same for Trump.

Along_the_Wire Good question. Dunno really, maybe do what Michael Heseltine did with the poor in the nineties, ie release them into the woods and shoot them.

This.
2 cheeks of the same arse
I admire Canada taking on the Don, not sure their tiny economy can take on the US alone though
Weāll give him a run. He seems like backing down at any sign of resistance is part of his āplanā so that may help. We need to just move away from US trade reliance and start building more infrastructure.
China and Iran telling him to stick it up his hoop too.
Interesting times ahead.

UK has also took eye of the ball here, we have nothing innovative or of huge growth that we can call our own. US dominated tech and AI growth we got left behind. We realie on US a lot as does every country, without them say hello to the great depression. They have been a big giver with their inward investment here and Ireland.
They never got much back and have trillions in debt to try to get down even under another regime something would have to give.
Yeah how incredibly altruistic of them lol. Jesus.
āwork sets you freeā Jeff Bezoz on opening his latest distribution centre, M18 Junction 2.
Dan They have endless high growth innovative companies itās mind blowing. Here we have insurance companies, banks and some energy, try finding anything with high growth on the ftse it very hard, slow steady best you can find. As for Canada their largest capitalisation is a bank on the s&p, Shopify is quiet innovative but no blue chip.
Everywhere became to reliant on the US so they have the leverage over us all really. Esp in defence.

mono-stereo Iāve been in greggs itās slow with a tiny dividend. They open far to many stores and have so much staff and overheads. Itās a good hedge to a recession though.
Itās down 3% over past 5 years. Been flat as a pancake. Look at something like Palantir.
Rolls Royce enjoyed a good time of it past few years but income and balance sheet isnāt even great.
Heās absolutely smashing it!

Poor Donny. I wish someone would just give him a chance.
(EDIT: apart from Funky)
Lol!
Trump is crashing the stock market just when Iām about to have some shares vest as well. I literally couldnāt hate him any more than I do. The mango motherās cunny.
Millsy Just do what Trump and his fucking cronies are gonna do and buy a fuck load of shares for when he announces the roll back of tariffs.
Along_the_Wire buy the dip!
Iām good friends with a local down here, nice chap, heās in with the local jandarma so I get some prior knowledge of road checkpoints. Loves all the music from the 80s and is a big rock fan so he comes around for a smoke and bottomless glasses of tea provided by the missus. We sit on the terrace and shoot the shit. Last night he was waxing about Trump, how he is fighting the forces of the global Luciferians and may not survive the war. I found it fascinating that even this narrative has found its way down to a sleepy village on the Aegean coast. Trump fighting the forces of Satan, a real biblical hero character. Instead of arguing, sometimes its much better to just sit back and take it all in. It just goes to show how polarised everything is. How is it possible to have two realities so far apart on the spectrum?
Trump, a normal conman/criminal who found himself with unfettered power through the manipulation of information VERSUS Trump the biblical warrior, saving earth from blood drinking, baby raping luciferians who use the whole legal & judicial system to fight him.
Millsy RSUs? I just had a few vest. Absolutely bent over on tax.
mono-stereo yupā¦and yes I will be royally fucked by HMRC as per. The 100k stealth tax is a fucking fuck of a fuck.
