I’m no longer worried about anything about this health … he’s freakin old, senile and stupid … and I’ve known that for years

I’m more worried about the general mental health of the United States that allows this stupidity to continue.

I’m starting to feel that this is the Navy’s way of upgrading their hardware.

Just toss the old stuff into the ocean … ask for new replacements.

Easy peesy … out with the old, in with the new.

Always … liberals / democrats manage economy to balance budgets but no one sees the results because economic effects take time

By the time time effects are felt, conservatives / republicans come into power and everyone associates the economy to them … conservatives / republicans than gut the economy and give money to wealthy owners which degrades the economy

Public get tired of bad economy, support liberals / democrats to do something about the economy

Rinse … repeat … rinse … repeat

… and the dumbest part of that statement is that America has completely normalized it.

He says dumb things, America doesn’t take it seriously, he acts on whatever dumb thing he says, America shrugs their shoulders, he goes on to say even dumber things.

Trump is only half the problem in all this.

I remember reading about something along those lines a few years ago.

When we were kids running around with our childhood friends every summer, we thought it would never end, that we would be and stay friends forever.

Then one day, we run home, wave goodbye and say ‘see you later!’ … and without us knowing, or being aware of it, that was the last time we saw our childhood friend.

We might have lived next to one another, or went to the same high school later on or even went to the same college … we never saw our friend again.

We never knew and we were never aware of when we said goodbye or saw our friend for the last time.

I think about my old childhood friends … I’m middle aged now … some of those friends died young, some got married and had a bunch of kids … a few had hard lives and became addicts … one of them is a vegetable after having suffered an overdose … and many of them just went on and had small families and did OK.

I always love how they are such devout followers of their religion and beliefs that they have to hide their identity.

If you are really devout and honest about your beliefs and you want to add legitimacy and emphasis on the things you believe … and you honestly believe that the things you believe are shared be others and that your beliefs are moral and just … you’d never be afraid to show your face and identity.

To hide your identity is showing how weak you are to your opponents

It shows how weak you are to your own followers.

Holy crap Americans are so complacent.

They are so against union action or workers banding together to do anything meaningful for their workplace or themselves that it takes another outside circumstance to cause them to stop working.

Unionize and work together to force all levels of government to do something about this problem!

I’m in Canada and I’ve always supported the third candidate consistently. I always vote the New Democratic Party, the NDP in our province and national elections … I’ll even volunteer a bit of time and support the local campaigns and I donate to them annually. And it never matters to me, if polls show that they are definitely going to lose, I’m still voting for them. Even if people claim that my vote is ‘splitting’ the vote, I’ll still hold onto my principles and vote for who I want, not play some game to try to choose the one I disagree with the least.

It wasn’t one man … it was the whole nation that just stood there and watched him walk in. They might have complained about it but they did the bare minimum which wasn’t enough to stop him.

I’ve lost so much respect for America due to this orange clown.

Days that the majority of America did anything meaningful to deal with Trump: 0

Sure … we’re free next week so we can talk then

You mean his golden corpse will be symbolically made to represent the glorious leader for all eternity?

I’m starting to think that this all by design … because even when the government was “functioning”, it wasn’t functioning

They vet ICE agents?

Argentina’s peso slumps despite BECAUSE OF Trump’s financial aid for Milei

Fixed your headline for you

When it comes to American elections … I lost faith in their political leaders a long time ago … I also lost faith in the people doing the electing … or not doing the electing … or just plain not doing anything to stop this train wreck of a nation.

The blind beating the blind

This isn’t entirely on Dumptruck Don or his administration

The entire government and nation as a whole is complicit for just standing there and letting it all happen

What a shit show of a nation America has become

I bought it when it was ten years old and from a friend of a friend who was selling it privately. The only real way to grab a good vehicle is if you know of someone who had a vehicle from new. It’s just constant searching and luck that one is able to find vehicles like this. The guy I bought it from had it from new and took care of it and by the time I got it, it had minimal rust. He knew the truck’s life was limited which is why he wanted to get rid of it. As soon as I took hold of it, the rust started growing on the damned thing and I’ve been fighting to keep it going and away from any further rust as possible. The engine and transmission are good and will last a very long time, its just the rest of the truck, especially everything from the wheel wells down (minus the engine and transmission) that will fall apart first.

I agree … I think the cutoff is about 2010-2015 vintage vehicles. I like Volvo cars and station wagons, they are literal workhorses that were designed by a Swedish company for winter use. And in that vintage, it is just at the peak when the company was still producing good vehicles and just before the point where they were heavily Americanized, then taken over by Chinese interests. The vehicles are still produced in Europe (I think) but of a lesser quality because the company got taken over by foreign interests. And like all manufacturers, they are moving away from the piston engine technology and transitioning to all electric.

Yes it is inevitable that everything will move away from old piston engines … but I think it will all last another 20-30 years before it all becomes impossible or way too expensive for anyone to maintain their old clunkers after that.
