US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

Spot-on. GDP is a false measure of a country's wealth. If you strip out the City of London impact from the UK figures the rest of the country includes some of the poorest regions in Europe. The pundits are always quoting figures that the UK is "one of the wealthiest countries in the world." Not for the 55 million people who live outside the South East bubble it isn't. Even GDP per capita is not a true reflection of the situation.
GDP is a highly inaccurate guess at economic activity, based on a sample. It does not distinguish between different types of activity. For example £1 of activity in manufacturing is treated the same as £1 spent to resurface a road.

Brilliant point.
 
He was using "bills" in its widest possible sense, obviously.

He will probably say in a year's time, that there are no bills outstanding and no-one else could have done it.

Much like he will probably impose 5% tariffs on selected Chinese goods and claim it is funding all his new wall as promised.

It's impossible to take what he says literally. Or at all, actually.
Fair enough. I made the mistake of forgetting he only spoke fiction.
 
Trump had 4 years and all these bad things that were supposed to happen to LGBT people didn't happen

Just like all those wars that he was supposed to start never happened.

A lot of people just like to make it about themselves for attention, especially when it was shown before he's not really going after LGBT people, so you will be OK, just like before.
I’m guessing here, but I’ll venture you don’t live in the States and are not LGBTQ+ and neither is anyone in your family.

There is some truth to this, but the difference now is that in 2016 he had some child minders in the room at all times, now he’s got lackeys and yes men.
 
So, her position is now “void”?! It’s nonsense! Step down and then what? Who becomes Prez & VP? We just let them start before Jan 20??

It’s not like going to your desk with an empty box and being walked out by security, ffs!
Theres plenty of people high enough that serious decisions can be made if necessary! If she couldn’t face her own supporters how the hell do you expect her to face the general public for two months

His words enable others to discriminate, whether the law is changed or not.
