The sun still came up yesterday, and on inauguration day 2029 the sun will rise that morning as well. We've survived worse than this tinpot dictator and his kleptocrat buddies. It's not like America hasn't been an isolationist corporate hellhole before. That was the entire post-Civil War period. Sure, it took us a worldwide depression and two world wars to fully snap us out of it, but we've been here before and recovered. The pendulum will come back around, as it always does. In the meantime, we just have to do as much as we can to minimize the damage. Stop buying from Amazon, stop engaging with any social media, stop paying for subscriptions to the Times or the Post, resist anything that originates from the people who are responsible for this situation. Many public interest organizations will be fighting tooth and nail against every executive order issued - donate to them, or volunteer with them (if you are in the USA.) Above all don't lose hope and accept this as "the new normal." They only beat us when we think we're beaten, when we think there's no alternative to Republican domination of the country based on tiny majorities in a handful of states that have been gerrymandered to fuck and beyond. There is. Labour's victory shows that a pernicious, media-controlling regime of thieves and charlatans can be overturned. We can do it. We will do it.9 points

Lads, I've got the solution. Get yourselves a Digitakt, put in a sequence of notes, and then set an LFO to randomise the pitch of said notes, and but a kick drum under all of it. Then sit with your headphones on staring into space while your silly little black box generates an every changing musical landscape, and soundtracks the end of the world.5 points

Guess what, I also didn't watch it. No huge appetite to witness the green light being given to the tens if not hundreds of millions of mouthy fuckwads who are going to feel enabled to make my friends' life hell for the next four years. I'm sure I'm engaging in some kind of "identity politics" by making such a comment, but that doesn't seem hugely relevant right now, funnily enough.5 points

People across the world want change because on the whole they are being screwed. Biden got in because enough people were revolted by Trump, but then failed to prosecute him and put him in prison like he should have done. No surprise that plenty of average Americans failed to believe he was that dangerous when the previous admin did nothing to him I fear for Labour, they need to be radical or they will fail. If they continue on their way on incremental decline and austerity light then it will be no surprise if Reform win next time The whole Labour Admin is being fundamentally dishonest over Europe, and its undermining them and the whole country. And don't give me the shit about the media not allowing it, the media are already full in on howling outrage at every turn4 points

The problem is that now, the right (far right) own the information space, lies are the new truth, look at the pitiful coverage of Musk's "weird hand gesture". We're fucked.3 points

No democracy without truth, no truth when lies are not exposed. There will never be truth again in the US now Trump has Musk and Zuckerberg in his pocket. Day for democracy, my arse. If democracy worked, Trump would be in prison for instigating sedition 4 years and 2 weeks ago. Democracy is finished in the US. There will never be a fair election again in the US.3 points

Well, because it's you, I'll do a freebie. Your parked up in Scotland causing a traffic jam. A couple of things to note. For some reason ChatGP draws every man with a beard and sometimes stubbornly refuses to remove them. Secondly, it is very restrictive on what you can include without reporting you to plod. Yours required an, ahem, manual edit.3 points

Just seen he's pulled the US out of the World Health Organization. Well, that's fucking catastrophic for millions of the World's poorest people. Gonna complicate my vaccine work too. What a country the US is. 🇺🇸2 points

Aye. Fuck knows, maybe it would have been better for him to get 2 terms consecutively, he maybe would have been less mad and vengeful, and not been so pally with the broligarchs. Such is history, full of chance events and sliding doors moments (the original mutation to the coronavirus probably being the chance event). As for Europe, considering the fucking struggle Russia have had in taking even the Eastern third of Ukraine, are they really a threat? I think even NATO minus US could probably kick their arse. And Western Europe still has an independent nuclear deterrent (don't give me that shit the Americans control Trident, and the French still have a large nuclear presence). Putin won't attack a NATO country militarily imo, even if the US do fuck off.2 points

Tbh without Covid there’s no Biden term as president. The economy was doing ok and Trump hadn’t started any wars. He’d made a lot of noise which is his MO to distract most people from him putting plans/people (that’s precisely what Musk did last night… he’s not a fascist, he doesn’t worship any nation state, he worships money and his own ego) in place to rob federal government which is his de facto reason for being president. Look out for him selling the federal student loan scheme to a hedge fund and condos in Yellowstone National Park 😑 Covid temporarily fucked Trump 2 but people have short memories (also he apparently only won by about 200k votes across the board, notions of some sort of landslide are bullshit) This time it appears strongly that he’s out for revenge and he’s using his usual mob intimidation/leverage tactics on the tech bros and nation states to achieve it. Then you’ve got the Putin factor, to what extent will he be emboldened? Worse case scenario in the near future for Europe is the threat to the Baltic states/Finland, possibly even Poland as he tries to rebuild the Russian empire bit-by-bit. I’m not pretending to be an economics expert but if he goes through with this tariff bullshit hes going to have massive problems domestically as his financial bullying of natural US allies and trading partners falls apart very quickly. There again, he might settle down after the first year and fuck off and play golf. He didn’t jail Hilary, and he didn’t do a number of other things he threatened to do in 2014-16. That's about the best we can hope for…. but then there’s the campaign for the elections in 2029 which will start in early/mid 2027… that’s when shit will get really interesting/horrifying….2 points

Reform would have pissed the election if they had the financial backing to stick people in every constituency. Labour won on an anyone but the tories basis. The fact that reform got as many votes as they did despite the lack of numbers should have people seriously worrying, especially now after trump got in. Misinformation and dehumanisation is lurching every thick cunt to the far right, and it turns out that there are a lot more thick cunts than initially thought. The left haven't helped themselves either mind. Even Biden pardoning people for crimes not even identified yet going back as far as a decade is politically stupid, it just plays directly into Trump's hands that the people he's pardoned were up to no good, even if there is zero evidence.2 points

Labour winning was a massive outlier globally though. And already they are undermined on a daily basis by the right through lies perpetuated through social media. There are specific reasons for every election result, but the global growth of oligarchy, kleptocracy, autocracy and disinformation is undeniable. And the problem as I see it is, you get to a certain stage, and you effectively lose democracy because elections are rigged or they simply won't happen at all. That's where we are with the US imo, and this will act as a contagion for everywhere else.2 points

Was 6 Jan 2021 a day for democracy (good or bad) too? …. Trump has hijacked democracy and you’re sat there cheering him on. Well done2 points

Strange take from what I said. I never disputed the legitimacy of Trump's vote and election win. The only person doing that was Trump himself 4 years ago. Do you think he should have been allowed to stand again given he has clearly demonstrated that he himself does not accept democracy? Don't you think seditionists actually deserve prison time and banning from public office? No, of course you don't. Russia is officially a democracy. Great lad that Putin, won fair and square with 90% of the vote. It's canny obvious to me and most sane people not all democracies are equal. The US is a failed democracy, with all norms, like seperation of Church, judiciary, media and State now a thing of the past. It's not the same as it was, imperfect as it was, 20 years ago. You know this I reckon, so I question your motives here.2 points

1976.... the rock hard 14yr old tbd in his size 6 dm's, newcastle 1 liverpool 0, paul cannell. i remember it vividly, I'd had fishfinger and beans before the match and mid way through the first half i started feeling queasy, I barfed them back up and splattered an older lad like him's blood red astronauts, polished to the extent you could see him from a mile off. said he was gonna beat the living shit out of me if i didn't lick them clean. so I fled as quick as me little legs would carry me. never went in that bit of the leazes again until I honed me killer punch skills, was round about the time they pulled it down. which was just as well for him, I was gonna wipe the floor with the cunt.2 points
