Pour one out for America and Ukraine, and the Middle East in general. And Taiwan.
Europe and Asia, you guys better get your shit together, we might be out of this one permanently. Or we might have a very long recovery time spanning decades. Such fucking bullshit.
Yes, it's now or never.
Who am I kidding, we won't do anything, of course. Everyone will huddle in his corner.
For the sake of my mental health I'm currently trying to gaslight myself into thinking that Trump being president isn't bad. But the truth is there is no realistic way the country is coming back from this. Not in my lifetime at least.
The only hope is that he's so far gone mentally already that he ends up mostly doddering around the oval office. The problem is he's already surrounded himself with the most vile people who will have no problem doing terrible things in his name.
Maybe he'll die and JD Vance will magically regain a conscience.
That's a feature for these people not a bug, he'll be a hollow shell for his cabinet to pass what they want to pass
God the only hope is that JD doesn't become president, in name or practice.
At least JD is an unknown quantity with some oddly left leaning positions in his past. We know what we're getting with Trump and it's terrible.
JD is a libertarian weirdo.
Yes, but he's also claimed support for industry-level collective bargaining like Europe has. He's probably lying, but who knows.
JD doesn't have a spine. Due to childhood trauma, he adapted to whatever POS stepdad needed him to be, and still exhibits similar qualities as an adult. Not a good leadership quality in stressful situations, lol.
Yeah, no. Our European society is in decline.
Recently we had some floodings on Valencia. We are aiming for 300 dead... In a modern society 300 dead because of a flooding, the same dead tool as in 1957 when the same area flooded. Our society is definitely failing.
Just read an article in the guardian by a climate scientist lamenting how many times he and his colleagues presented flood risk data to city officials in Valencia but time and time again they ignored them. Very sad.
Recovery time? Getting our shit together? Europe and Asia won't survive the climate collapse either. I don't know why you people talk like this.
Yeah, there is no coming back from this one
Indeed. This election was won by Vladimir Putin.
LMAO my guy we're sandwiched between the US their thousands of nuclear warheads and Russia their thousands of nuclear warheads, what do you want me to do?
If there's one thing Ds and Rs agree on, it's the need to start a war with China
