  • Trump will use any tariff profits to bail out farmers and other industries impacted

    I remember when UK right wing lying populist Boris Johnson (who only really cares about himself) promised to bail out farmers and other industries adversely affected by his insane isolationist Brexit policy.

    Here's US right wing lying populist Donald Trump (who only really cares about himself) and you think he's gonna bail out farmers and other industries adversely affected by his insane isolationist global trade war policy?

    Why would he do that?

    What have farmers got to offer Trump?

  • But billionaires are so desperately unlike the office worker. You know, how if someone took your penny, you wouldn't worry. And in fact they could take a penny from you every day for three years and now you're down a whole ten dollars but it just simply isn't an issue. You know that a thousand times as much as you've lost will be turning up in the next few months. That's how billionaires relate to a million dollars. A million. It'll show up for them in the next month or two. They're not worried. Why would they worry about money? You don't worry about pennies, they don't worry about millions. Stop thinking that billionaires worry about money.

    Now if the entire global capitalist system were to completely crumble, then that's an issue, but that's absolutely not what's happening. Billionaires are almost incomprehensibly wealthy and a crash of 10% just doesn't matter. At all. There are other countries than the USA and they'll absolutely leave if necessary. They spend plenty of time in their overseas properties anyway for tax purposes. Borders are for ordinary people.

  • Yes. They do. And they're right. They'll be fine. Billionaires will be absolutely fine. The stock market crash doesn't worry them. Not even a little bit.

    They're still incomprehensibly richer than millionaires in the same way that someone with an office job, a flat, a TV, games console and a car who goes out to eat on the regular is incomprehensibly richer than someone who lives under a piece of sheet metal next to a rubbish tip and scavenges for food.

  • Why do Americans still talk about the constitution like it means something or is still relevant?

    Your constitution is GONE. It's a historical artifact. It has no meaning in today's America.

    All that matters now is the whim of the emotional toddler in the White House. Get used to it. He's not going until he's dead.

  • Yup. Americans. This is the day you find out that in the future this'll happen to you if you complain about Trump in too public a way or in front of the wrong person. Who does trump hate more than immigrants? People who disagree with him.

  • On laptop you have to tilt the screen towards you a lot more than usual and look at it just above the function keys. On desktop you have to stand up for the same perspective.
