It already is.
Ah, the good old days when we thought Bush was a dangerous idiot.
It already is.
Fuck the lot of em
Labour seem pretty good at that.Embarrassing isn't it, but what can he do? If you're a politician don't make statements that will come back to humiliate you in the future.
Thanks Sadd.
But I think I’m done here. Footy and music don’t seem that important suddenly. I won’t sleep tonight.
I deleted my Twitter account already and as much as I like it here, and other places, I have more important things to focus on. Like making sure my kid and his partner are okay and safe (rather an activist, that one) and moving some money around as I expect some serious volatility will roil the markets.
I still think it’s a six-standard deviation event that he destroys the nation’s democracy but protection from the possibility is now an important and necessary hedge — especially if the GOP takes the House. My family’s safety and financial well-being is too important.
As I said — before when he had another term to think about and at least some experienced people to rein him in, I knew it would suck, but I didn’t worry. Now? All bets are off. No one competent will work with him and anyone who tries will not control him. I’ve no idea how serious his inflammatory rhetoric is, because he’s a constant liar. I still cannot believe after everything — especially January 6 — this man wins the popular vote. It’s almost not even real.
But what this means for both the next four years and the future — the possibility set is far wider than it was, and includes some awful potential futures.
Best to protect against that chance.
Likely doesn’t matter as there probably won’t be one anymore!As a matter of interest what do those of you domiciled in the USA think of the voting system?
He may as well stick to his real thoughts. Trump won't forgive.Embarrassing isn't it, but what can he do? If you're a politician don't make statements that will come back to humiliate you in the future.
Home grown simply don't want to do those "medial" jobs sadly, that's the same the world over.
Fuck the lot of em
