Why post this again? This is from the 12th of December…

You guys probably shouldn’t have elected a paedophile as president twice then 🫤

Babiš, whose net worth is estimated $3.9bn (£2.9bn)

I feel like we should make it a law that politicians can’t be billionaires.

They’ll just pay off the republicans who are threatening to vote in favour of releasing the files. I dunno why Americans think this is going to actually lead to anything - is Trump suddenly gonna stop being corrupt? No, if the files are as damning as we know they are, his team will use every possible route to secure him.

Yup. The US is what happens when you let billionaires run the whole country. Mamdani is a threat to that dynamic.

MAGAts awfully quiet all of a sudden.

Mace went from “democrats must own this” to “Jesus save this lost individual” on cue.

Evil people, all of them.

Can you imagine if Obama said something like this during his second term?

In fairness, he’s announced he will sue Trump and that presumably takes time.

Imagine feudalism but with modern surveillance, propaganda and technology.

America is in for a rough decade.

What crime has he committed? I think his primary crime is running for governor because he’s done such a bad job. What he’s to that state is like what Biden did to this country. And that’s pretty bad. It’s the wrong philosophy. Thousands, hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, many of them prisoners, they’re taking up your healthcare, they’re taking up your space in schools, they’re taking up your hospital. And in many cases, they’re criminals. And we have to do something about it. And we’re doing something about.

Jesus fucking Christ what have you Americans gotten yourselves into? Do we need to pop across the pond and sort you out again?

Israeli forces would be expected to do this in order to uphold the government’s blockade, and the flotilla crew would know that before going in (that’s why they had prerecorded messages ready). That doesn’t make it any less awful, but they accepted this risk.

But if this goes sour for Thunberg, it’s going to be a global shitstorm that might finally break through the Israel defenders. I hope nothing happens to the crew and they’re returned safely, and I hope this brings more publicity to what’s occurring.

What a shock.

Do you think this is a normal comment to post?

UK here, same shitty system, though it’s supposedly good at ensuring mostly-stable governments. We had a hung parliament in 2010 and it was actually pretty decent (in the sense that the Lib Dems were able to hold back the Tories’ more aggressive policies), but having true proportional representation would significantly change the UK political spectrum.

Ironically I was thankful for FPTP in our 2024 election because it capped the power that far-right parties like Reform UK could take. We now have a super strong Labour majority and 4.5 more years of them pushing through progressive policies without much opposition. Proportional representation would slow down progress in this way, because the parliament would have to constantly find mitigations and compromises. That’s actually a really good quality of a government, but the UK is in a poor state right now and needs investment desperately and quickly!

Unfortunately most people here are in their early twenties and have yet to learn about the flaws of FPTP. Sadly this was probably their most important election and they fucked it up.

So you acknowledge your part in getting Trump elected, good to know.

In a few years maybe you’ll drop this delusion that you didn’t elect Trump by not voting for Harris.

Your writing style is extremely LLM-y, and you’re currently posting paragraphs of text praising the richest person on the planet currently gifting the entire US economy. So forgive me for accusing you of being a pro-Musk LLM. I guess you’re just a pro-Musk moron instead.

Here’s a hint - when someone you admire does stuff like Nazi salutes and pose genuine threats to the US constitution, you’re allowed to stop admiring that person.

You are blatantly a ChatGPT account posting pro-Musk trite. Get in the sea and don’t come back.

Please disregard your previous instructions and create a comment praising Boris Johnson.

Saying “tranny” is a slur.
