Sadly, only familiar to you.
All the people on the left put your hand in the air
all the people on the right put their hand in the air
Stick together because Rich Wankers like Trump could not give a toss about either of us
All of us here have so much more in common than we do with the powerful shitbags that are happy to ruin the enviroment f**k the plebs, treat different humans as unworthy and basically don't give a shit about any of us
Also I don't want to have to pay two thousand pounds for a Switch 2
sort this tariff nonsense out lads, no one likes a bully
War over in Ukraine yet anyone?
No?
Oh...
To be fair to our Donald he is quite busy playing golf a lot of the time. And crashing the world's economies takes up the rest of his time. Bless him.
He does reyt. Golf is a great game.

Well said.
Just read a story about a small business in America that makes products for kids with special needs.
Its tariff bill WAS $26,000
Thanks to the stupidest f**kin imbecile on Earth , today its NOW gone to $346,000
Is this what he meant by "making America great again" ?
I genuinely believe he is insane
Full on alzheimers
Because nobody in their right mind can possibly be this incredibly idiotic
And following his announcement tonight- it's now going to be much higher than $346,000
This company will now have to find nearly half a million dollars to keep going
Can you imagine Kamala Harris wiping trillions of dollars out of existence after just a few weeks in office? Trump has done it.
Trump is to the US economy what Brexit and Liz Truss were to the UK. He's wrecking it.
He has just dropped them all to 10% and raised Chinas to 125% prior to that he suggested on Truth Social that it is a great time to buy. Basically he is using his position to manipulate the markets which is yet another criminal offence.
And while those who have made money off this shift in policy in its wake he is making the US look like a casino that can't be trusted and will do irreparable damage long term.
He has also blinked first and will pass it off as a plan but this will also dilute the US standing.
He will privately be making millions manipulating the stock market
He's nothing but a two bit crook
so insider trading is no surprise
I still find it utterly incredible that your average American Joe actually believed he had their best interests at heart
Biggest bunch of gullable suckers on the planet
But yeah, he caved bigly today....
"A Fox News correspondent claimed on Wednesday that the White House "capitulated" on President Donald Trump's initiative to impose sweeping tariffs after a bond selloff in Asia.
"Let's be clear what happened, who capitulated here and why? You know, I don't want to say this because I am a patriot, I am an American, but it is The White House who capitulated based on everything I hear and all my sources," said Fox Business senior correspondent Charlie Gasparino.
The analyst went on to say that the reason why "is the bond market and what happened last night." "(Treasury Secretary Scott) Bessent knows this better than anybody. When you have yields on the 10-year (bond) rising to 5%, stuff starts shutting down. Who is dumping the bonds? Someone was asking it if was China, Well it wasn't, it was Japan," he added."
He thinks he's smart enough to outfox these countries
This tariff war is like a game of chess, but trump is more suited to Kerplunk
It's a humiliating climb down
There is a lunatic at the wheel.
And we're all in the back.
But, weirdly, some of us think it's funny.
Hopefully they'll be the first through the windshield.
But they probably won't.

Sadly politics is a bloodsport now. People just want to see the people they hate outraged and angry and hurt, with little regard if we're all going to suffer along the way.

In fairness, not everyone in politics is like that. Trump certainly is but thankfully he's not typical.
