As usual, when Trump or the White House posts some stupid shit like this, the question should be "what kind of potentially unpopular policy are they trying to implement now?" as obviously Trump has no interest in being Pope - he's not even a Catholic. So the natural assumption is they want to...

I would be very surprised if there is nobody in Trump's closest circuit who are earning big in the stock market these days, by knowing beforehand what the next moronic idea from the White House will be. Selling, and shorting. Preparing to buy at the bottom before Trump et.al. announce that they...

End of the article: "The number of child labor violations in Florida has nearly tripled in recent years, according to US Department of Labor statistics." What better solution then, than relaxing the law itself.

This goes way beyond confirmation bias. As I understand it, confirmation bias means you tend to accept information that supports (or confirms) what you already think. What we are observing here is more in "doublethink" territory. Trump denies doing something, then he says he did it but it's...

That applies also if we were to debate whether malice or stupidity is to blame for the various things that come from Trump et.al.

And these are called respectively Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia?:ninja:

I believe the US politics thread should be in the Madness forum now. Two fresh piles of dung: First, a vulgar display of power in the Greenland saga: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/24/world/greenland-prime-minister-us-usha-vance-intl-hnk/index.html Key members of the administration...

True, but so far the "Ukraine bad, Russia not as bad as everyone says" stance is one where Trump has been more consistent than he usually is. On other issues, like tariffs, he has changed his mind back and forth more times than I can remember since he took office in January. But on Russia, he...

I heard rumours that the master of dealmaking, a certain Mr. Trump, had a talk with Mr. Putin yesterday. How did that go? Did they agree on a date where Russian soldiers should be out of Ukraine and hostilities brought to an end? Or did Putin stick to his previous demands, showing that he is a...

Effective smoke screens to take attention away from the fact the administration is effectively sidelining the other branches of government. By ignoring court rulings, coercing congress members, coercing the press. The US administration is headed towards authoritarian rule. We live in...

What a time to be alive, flying elephants in the European Politics thread!

Digression, since Chinese electric cars were mentioned. My neighbour owns one, a BYD. According to the text on the rear hatch it stands for "Build Your Dream". As a Maiden fan, I associate differently :innocent: (Back on topic, the neighbour to the other side has a Tesla ...)

The sad thing is, this kind of stupid shit we already saw with Trump Mk. I. Now with Trump Mk. II we still get that ... plus all the stuff that is an actual threat to the US democracy, and indirectly to world stability. Albeit some foundations for this were laid by MkI, like them getting the...

I know that. The Trump administration did not and when they were fact checked on it, they as usual attacked the media channel that had the nerve to correct them.

The White House and accomplices have other priorities. Like defending claims they cut $80million on research on transgender mice. Or labeling a senator "traitor" for visiting Ukraine and even having the nerve to write that a peace deal must ensure Ukraine's security. Congratulations again...
