OT: American Politics

once I think, this one was stolen....I don't care, that's just how I see it.

Beyond the usual tells like him constantly accusing the other side of stealing the election, I just believe the first run was practice, and this time they used the the power of every GOP stronghold they won under Biden, and things I will never be able to prove, but it just fits with everything else he does.

Even if I'm wrong the idea that anybody could vote for that sack of shit is worrisome and disheartening.

Never been a huge JT fan but he's been impressive on this. Would rather he had of went out and got some more life experience and come back to politics now. Feels like he's just hitting his stride.

But the exchange on U.S. border seizures is pretty telling.
Trump and JD: that's not the right way to measure this problem
Trudeau: it's the only way to measure it

They don't give a shit. It's a problem until they say it's not.

The core philosophical struggle is truth vs post-truth thinking and we're on the right side. It's worth fighting for.

It's best to just consider NATO cooked tbh. Nothing Trump says is trustworthy and there's no reason to believe that he would honour an article 5 declaration without being paid to. Oh, you're spending 2.5% of GDP on spending, but you bought from Rheinmettal and not Raytheon? Should have spent 3%. Oh, you spent 3% and all of it from us...should have spent 3.5%. His name on an agreement is worthless, the paper itself worth less than toilet paper to wipe your ass with, at least the toilet paper would be comfortable to do the job with.

There is no sense relying on any agreements that Trump's America is part of, the only rational course of action is to re wire around American involvement.
