Americans, unless you remove this dangerous fucking maniac soon, your country will become about as internationally acceptable as North Korea.
I do not want ANYTHING to do with the USA any more, and everyone I know feels the same way.
What the fuck are you waiting for? Him to open gas chambers?

Not the sort of letter committed to paper by a well man. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

Of course Trump will cancel the midterms, or he will just put ICE agents at every polling station with orders to beat the crap out of anyone who 'looks democrat'. They are shooting people in the face now, in January. It wont get better.

No, Trump can’t cancel the midterms. He’s doing this instead | CNN Politics
Worried about losing unified Republican power in Washington and mystified at his lack of support among the public, President Donald Trump keeps talking about not holding the November midterm elections...

All my website and domains except one are now with my new (proudly English and renewable-energy-powered) webhost. But the old domain registrar is still muckinga round with the last one.

What Europe could do is threaten to boycott the World Cup. It won't. But that might actually work. Trump wants his big show.

Any sane European business will be doing everything it can to just assume zero trade with the US in future. Tariffs change on an hourly basis, and TBH the country looks close to civil war anyway. Who would base a business on dealing with a trade partner that volatile?

At this point I actually WANT the US to put 100,000,000% tariffs on the UK. Do it, then we wont ever have to give a fuck about you again. We don't sell many cowboy hats or assault rifles anyway.
Until countries act more like China, and tell Trump to Fuck Off, he will keep doing this insane BS.

Countries are not 'for sale' Trump is too cowardly and too ignorant to understand this.
You could offer me a trillion pounds to sign over England to the USA, and I would still tell you to fuck off.
Trump knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing.
Bring on the tariffs. I don't care.

Starmer’s US policy lies in tatters. Trump is now punishing the UK and NATO allies just for doing the right thing.
Time for the PM to stand firm against the bully in the White House, and work with European and Commonwealth allies to make him back down from this reckless plan.

Probably pointless to say it, but do not EVER have ANY dealings with 'hostgator' or 'enom', two absolutely incompetent useless companies in the US that claim to handle web hosts and domains names. Total scumbags. Looking forwrad to kicking their dumb assess into oblivion once my domain is moved.

Steam has an autobattler sale and I was told 'Ridiculous Space Battles' does not qualify as being in it. I am appealing.
As Gratuitous Space Battles (also by me) was literally the game that invented the concept of autobattlers, and this is a successor to it, its a bit annoying to have to 'appeal'...

NBC is saying 'the fatal shooting of Renee Good'. That makes it sound like an accident, or a stray bullet. He aimed at her FACE, shot her at point blank range, then yelled 'Fucking Bitch' at her as she died. These are the facts.
Thats not a 'fatal shooting'. Its an execution. Without trial.

It remains surreal how often Jenrick and Reform’s diagnosis of what is wrong with the country is reported without even the most cursory sniff test. The UK can be magically revived by fracking & coal mines, unfunded tax cuts, and stopping immigration? Seriously? Do even they believe that to be true?

NATO is over already. Or at least it no longer includes the USA. A bunch of European countries are sending troops to Greenland to DEFEND it from the USA.
So how can anybody with a straight face think the USA is an ally of Europe? the USA is an ally of Russia, its clear and obvious. #SendUSTroopsHome
