#142As a side note. Beware when exporting to the USA using UPS. Especially when having the receiver pay for imports and taxes. UPS does not enforce payment. They will hand out the package before receiving the taxes and tolls. Then, they force you, the exporter, to pay, since you’ve agreed to it by accepting their terms and conditions. I’ve learnt this the hard way.
That explains why they gave me the package and then sent me a bill for import duties a month later.

#143Americans, your Mad King is putting us all in grave danger. Would you please do something about it?
The Americans you’re trying to reach are not here. They’re in Facebook and right wing social bubbles with a constant influx of fresh slop propaganda. It’s unprecedented in the fact that it’s affecting people at the family unit level with people tearing off into political parties within families that cut off all contact from each other.

#146"Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times."
You are getting downvoted because people see their own reflection in that statement. And they don't like what they are seeing.
Thinking in memes isn’t going to lead us to a better world.
Least we can do is downvote it.

#147Can't Denmark just stop selling ozempic or so to the US? Would be an uproar in no time.

I strongly believe he just wants to secure his legacy. He wants to be the president that increased the land of USA and that's it.
This is the right answer. I don't know why everyone is overreacting saying how the US democracy is dead and he will be in office forever. He's just a narcissistic guy who wants to achieve some goals thw US had previously to show he's the only one who could do it, and to show what this great power can do (Iran, Venezuela, etc...) I also think he's probably aware of his age and cognitive decline, so that's why he's in…
Why this reaction? Please, look at everything going on in the US and the world not just this one aspect.

We are trying. Please realize that the second largest conflict (based on spending) in the world right now, behind the Russian invasion of Ukraine, is DJT’s ICE attacks on the US. That is how much he is spending to attack his own country. More than Israel spends to occupy Palestinians. Sadly, if you look at polling, none of this is remotely unpopular with US Republican voters. Our country’s union is hanging on by tatt…

The South wasn’t punished enough after the civil war is where a lot of this stems from. There was no cleaning house like what happened with Germany after WW2.

You can measure the success of a pathological narcissist by brain-minutes. A brain-minute is one human brain thinking about the narcissist for one minute, no matter whether the thought is admiration, confusion, disgust, anger, or fear. You can continue to amass brain-minutes even after you die, as long as people keep thinking about what a [saint | jerk] you were.
By this measure, he is in contention to become the most successful pathological narcissist in history. Which is his sole goal.
I don't like it, but all the time I spent writing this comment contributes to his brain-minute score. So does the time you spend reading it.
In theory, this perspective is similar to the advice to ignore the bully. In practice, we've let this one go on too long.
