Does this affect us?

Nope. Unless they don't raise the debt ceiling or they reach the eventual stage where they can no longer raise the debt ceiling. If that happens the US goes into turmoil, and it would affect most countries including us. We would almost be guaranteed to enter a harsh recession.

That's what I've been told by economists that are smarter than me.

My twitter feed is so fucked. Full of American politics, capitalism vs socialism lunatics, people fucking dying or almost dying and then the rest is arguments over the little mermaid or if spider Gwen is trans. Musk is fucking with me man.

Wow, Trump has been indicted for his handling of classified documents. No official word yet, but he has posted about it on Truth Social and several news sources have reported it, apparently.

Who would have thought mishandling classified documents then lying about it to the feds would be a bad idea lol.

Surely his fat butt is toast, now. No second dip of the presidential cherry for you, Donny boy!

There was a bunch of Republican rallies in Iowa with candidates trying to win the states. Pence dressed up in Biker gear and rode a motorcycle to win hearts and minds. They all had stalls at the fair and every candidate turned up, except Trump. He just send some of his staffers.

Did the people of Iowa care? Nope. Press walked around interviewing people and most said that they would back Trump.

Gee, if Pence dressed as a biker can't win them over, who can? lol

Seriously, wouldn't a federal indictment disqualify him?

Wow...apparently he can run even if convicted. He could run from his jail cell if he wanted to. Murica's all kinds of messed up lol

Not necessarily. An indictment won't disqualify him. It needs to be a criminal charge, and only certain criminal charges will disqualify him. If he gets charged with treason due to the documents then he's gone. If he cops to a lesser charge then he can still run.

Good to see they will only settle for the best quality of person in the top job lol

I want him to run and win... the meltdowns will be delicious lol

Triggered lefties everywhere.

If Creepy Joe wins, triggered right-wingers everywhere.

Whoever "wins", murika deserve them and implode that shithole faster.

I honestly don't think anyone can cause much damage. Some things Trump did were detrimental to the world in general, but much less detrimental than Covid, climate change, war, etc.

Any US President will just be there as someone who rants about stuff and everyone ignores because nothing will ever change for the US until it finally collapses.

I can see the fear porn organised already by the media..

If Trump wins they will push the "civil war" narrative and if Biden wins it will be more "mostly peaceful" protests.

Curious as to what 45 did that was "detrimental" to the world?

A few:

- Backing out of the Paris accords

- Backing out of WHO funding

- Pardoned war criminals

- increased military spending

- Fucked up the Coronavirus response

- Bombed a record number of children and civilians in the Middle East (Beating Obama's 2-term record in less than 6 months), then attempted to cover it up by rescinding the bill that forces the military to report civilian casualties

- encouraged far-right people globally

Trump wasn't all bad. There's no denying that pre-Covid, he increased America's economy. But he did it at the detriment of everyone else. And when you're a country that's surviving on a lifeline, then pissing off the rest of the world will only result in problems.

Also, not saying other presidents have been much better. Just that Trump caused many issues while in power.

Definitely all leftist anti Trump talking points. "Trump wasn't all bad." "Also, not saying other presidents have been much better." All The lies and tax payer dollars wasted in an effort by the left to stop Trump, when as you put it he is really not much better.

Nope. All true. Only pointing out talking points that are known to be true. If I wanted to bad mouth him then I'd say, "He's a Russian agent!"

Sorry that the truth hurts, but your hero isn't really a hero.

I guess covered by the above but you left out ‘encouraged an insurrection on the Capitol to try to disrupt the certification of an election he lost that even GOP appointed ‘auditors’ like the ‘Cyber Ninjas’ found no evidence of but to this day still says it was ‘rigged’.

Some hilarious garbage he served up at his rally in NH this week that the MAGA’s swallowed whole. I ain’t no leftie but this bloke is a clown of the first order and the sooner he’s out of public life the best for Generica and the world, even if Keith Richards is the alternative.

The only reason you’d want Agent Orange around are the memes and late night comedy sketches which write themselves so writers strike pffft .
