A public bitchfight between the two least credible dipshits in the world? I'm here for it!

I reckon 100% over 10. Whatever it is, rich people's kids who have no idea what the world is like for 99.9% of people have no business making decisions that affect the lives of the working class.

I moved to the states in 2005, got married, had 2 daughters. Moved us all back to my home country in 2015. I often wondered if it was the right decision and what life would have been like if we'd stayed. I haven't wondered even once since November last year.

Unfortunately, being able to just leave the country is a luxury that few people have.

Ah crap, I already regarded it!

And then you live your life one quarter mile at a time...

Pretty sure it was marvel comics that did it, and Hollywood has just been turning their materials into movies. There isn't much that the comic book universe won't turn into a hero or villain.

I always say, I've literally never seen anyone get upset over hearing merry christmas, but I've witnessed plenty of people lose their shit over hearing happy holidays.

They'll make protesting illegal before it changes their minds. Hope you're all planning for that.

I'm absolutely disgusted that we've announced we're just going to grab our ankles and back up for this. Similarly with Canada backing down on its electricity tariffs. All these world leaders bowing and grovelling at the feet of this imbecilic dictator are just validating him and it's only going to make him worse, which in turn makes everything worse. The rest of the world needs to unite and stand firm against trump.

The left in the US needed to do something similar to redmap, basically take over the party from the ground up. Field leftist candidates in every position at every level. School boards, dog catchers, literally everything all the way up to president. maga started this decades ago, and it's why they have so many people in influential positions now. The left got outsmarted, outmanoeuvred, and beaten to the punch. And it's quite likely too late for them to do anything about it politically as the US political system doesn't look like it's going to survive much longer.

It's just another one of the millions of little ways Americans get screwed. I lived in the US for quite a few years and it was a shitshow. Here in Australia, the government provides a portal for filing your taxes (and pretty much all government services - just a single portal). All your info is pre-filled, you just add any additional undeclared income or deductions you want and submit. Unless you're dealing with millions of dollars, the whole process takes 10 minutes.
