Trump's Second Term

That reminds me: I have a vague recollection of an episode where he gets pissed on his own home made cider (from a large stoneware jar, like some moonshiner's whisky jar) and hilarity ensues. Either I completely made up that memory or little kids' TV was a bit more relaxed about such life lessons in the '60s.
You know what, that kind of rings a vague bell...
 
Not the circles a single female pensioner living in a traditionally conservative part of Britain moves in, I assure you. And there's ◊◊◊◊ all I can do about the situation in the US, regardless of my opinion of its causes.

As a life long socialist, until recently I lived in what I can only describe in retrospect as a state of mindless optimism. I never doubted that social progress would continue, that the gap between rich and poor would gradually reduce, that civilisation would eventually triumph over animal instincts like tribalism and greed. Now I look around the world, see what my generation - the hippy generation - has actually achieved, and wonder why I ever had such faith in humanity. I'm sorry if my occasional venting upsets you, but this is the only place I can do it.
Problem is you expected Utopia. And that will never happen, given human beings ability to mess things up. But that does mean things cannot be improved.
George Orwell, condemened his fellow socialists when they promised Utopia, saying it would never happen.
Overall aggregate is 46% and rising though ..
Every time somebody trties to post some grounds for hope, you shoot it down. I see alot of that around here. I am now conivnced we have of those Euros who, long before Trump, hated the United States.
My Finnish friend is insisting that "it's just the regular pendulum effect of American poltics." And he says "you Democrats are to blame for Trump."
Democrats are not to blame for Trump, but in 2024 they sure as hell made a lot of mistakes. IMHO, Biden never should have ran for reelection. His ego got the best of him.
 
Slotkin is right: Trump’s second term isn’t survivable. Treating him like a bad season to wait out is suicidal. He’s dismantling democracy brick by brick. Democrats must act like the house is on fire, because it is.
 
How can he call it The Rose Garden Club when he paved the garden over?

President Donald Trump debuted the newly paved Rose Garden patio in a Sept. 5 dinner for Washington insiders that he branded the "Rose Garden Club."

Speaking to dinner guests on the patio paved in white concrete, formerly a grassy lawn, Trump said the "Rose Garden Club" will admit members of Congress, senators and "people that can bring peace and success to our country."

Trump said he would have hosted a group of top level tech moguls who attended a lavish White House dinner the night before on the new Rose Garden patio, but the weather prevented it.
Stupid, tacky, senile old man.
 
Be prepared folks. The more Trump's dementia grows it's going to get more problematic. Will he lash out at Blue Cities, creating chaos across the country or will he fade away physically first.

He's OK illegally shooting down a boat in International waters. Is he considering a Gulf of Tonkin incident to interfere with the midterm elections. He's threatening sending soldiers into multiple US cities and he's armed them. He's aligned himself with some extremists: Steven Miller, Kash Patel, RFK Jr, Pam Bondi and others.
