Nov 2023 Mod notice:
There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Poor Trump, how can we expect him to know how to actually do his job?
thebeatles.com/careersTrump is nothing but a big, wrinkly, Cheeto-smeared baby. Literally everything he's done is ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME and either go on tantrums or run off to play with his toys when he doesn't get his way
For chrissakes his cronies basically have to dangle keys in front of him on a daily basis to keep him content

This is something I was worried about:

SCROTUS handed Merkel a 300 billion dollar bill for money 'owed to NATO'

Still not embarrassing enough to stan billionaires or tech companies.The only way this figure makes sense is if he looked at, say, the number of years when the Bundeswehr has been underfunded compared to the 2% of GDP figure set by NATO and then somehow retroactively made this into money the US would get?
For reasons?
Still not embarrassing enough to stan billionaires or tech companies.I think at this point our only hope foreign policy wise is that our allies come to the conclusion American was on some kind of collective bender that they can lord over us when we hit the hangover phase.
That said, I think how easily salvageable this will all be will depend on how long we let Trump stay in office.

If the alternative is losing their jobs they might kick him anyway.
