2024 US Election #3

1
Who do you all think Donald Drumpf (real name) will give his first UK television interview to? I presume it'll be Piers? Do you even think he will? Again, I PRESUME he will. I can't remember if Piers is in his good books or not? Although I don't think Donald holds a grudge when it comes to publicity, every relationship Donald has is purely transactional.
 
Bye bye, EU.

Go ahead and bump this thread and we’ll compare notes.

Although you’re so dead set on being right and me being wrong as I lack reason I don’t know what the point is. However I’m so certain that bad things will happen that you’re on. I predict that the first bad thing will be him weaponizing the military if anyone dare to protest or disobey his orders. He’s a narcissistic lunatic.

First update.

The future almighty dictator failed to get his spending plans through Congress.

Here's what to know about the potential US government shutdown

Dozens of Republicans defied Trump and joined Democrats to reject a revised spending bill. Here are five things to know ahead of Friday’s shutdown deadline.

A poor start to his seizure of absolute power.

Because EU and UK policies should be dictated by Musk? What next? Electing Musk as king of Europe and paying him a tribute as we cannot make it without his enlightened advices? The USA presidency has been bought by Musk (the price tag is a quarter of a billion - quite cheap if you think about) but Europeans don't have to follow Americans in the stupidity to sell their countries to an oligarch.

I'd suggest including the cost of buying Twitter in that - but anyway, he didn't just buy the presidency, we have now seen him successfully intimidate enough members of the house to get them to vote agsinst a bill (even if some did gain a bit of backbone later to kill the next one too).

President Musk and vice-president Trump... Vance presumably the errand-boy?
It's all too weird, the unelected oligarch doing his puppet master thing right out in the open, he doesn't even have the decency to operate from the shadows, has he no shame? Actually, don't answer that, I've seen that 'white whale on hind legs' photo :eek:

That’s exactly the game plan. And Europeans will, because they’re swinging hard right already.
 
All be respectful of everyone and agree to disagree. No one ever gets banned from tattle unless they keep breaking the rules, but if people can't agree to disagree respectfully we have no other choice.
So Chief DOGE now has UK Reform and German AfD boosted. Italy’s Meloni of F d’I absolutely LOVES him… will France be the next European country to be wooed by Elon and the Republicans? 😍

ETA: Elon and the Republicans sounds like tit 60s Merseybeat band.
 
"Recent events also had a big effect" - so he's acknowledging that a terrorist attack by a far right extremist who supported the AfD actually boosted their support? Rolling Stone magazine has done an article about how he helped fuel the far right riots in England this summer, it does seem to be a recurring theme -

How Elon Musk Helped Fuel the U.K.'s Far-Right Riots

Elon Musk helped drive unrest in the U.K. via his social media platform X — and could do so in the U.S. as Election Day nears.
