The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)

[Come On You Irons]

There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

"sovereign democracies" run by fiat rule from Davos

The blitherings of a gamma lobster brain make distressing reading for normal lobsters but not for other gamma lobsters, who can only read these blitherings.

"sovereign democracies" run by fiat rule from Davos

[Hammer and Pickle]

Think he’ll probably wreak the US’s relations with any neighbours or partners who, as sovereign democracies, choose to act in their public’s interest to limit demands or frustrate his plans. Not much of a think either, though clearly too much of a think for you.

[goose]

it's dramatic because it's not true.

he's working for the President, same as every other person who ever worked in government.

[Massive Attack]

We've established he has all this influential power but what dangerous things will he be doing precisely? Programming all autonomous cyber trucks to run over the elderly, or aim 1 of his space rockets at Putins bedroom? What dangerous things will he be doing that will be a threat to society?

[Hammer and Pickle]

It is in itself a dangerous thing that Musk has so much leverage over the most powerful elected office on the planet. Sorry if this sounds over dramatic but it seems you have to have this drawn for you in large colourful letters.

[Leavemyarcelona]

Whatever morons funded the dems, Trump is now president elect, Musk is a moron and he is now a dangerous problem.

How so?

[,]

Trump won the election because the American voters consider him capable of managing economic and immigrant issues better than Harris.

Had Musk not been such high profile Trump would still have won. And to think that Musk bought the election is a mistake it’s Trump that Musk has bought, a much more useful purchase.

[Massive Attack]

Because now he wields excessive influence in the White House. Why do you need this kind of basic stuff spelled out for you?

Doing what dangerous things? 

[goose]

more dangerous than having the corpse from weekend at Bernie's as president?

calm down Pickle, you absolute fanny.

[Massive Attack]

Why is he a dangerous problem?

"Musk bought the election…gave it toTrump"


Course he did Tex.
Even though the Harris campaign spent nearly three times more than Trumps. That straw you're clinging to is so short it may as well not exist, get over your TDS.

Exactly. More Billionaires funded the dems, but suddenly Elon Musk is a problem - Nothing to do with the morons they had running, and their policies. Oh no.

[Takashi Miike]

ABC network have settled with Trump out of court for lies told by one of their political pundit George Stepanapoulous (spelling)  for lying about Trump on air.

$15,000.000 was the amount.

yet another win!

winners win!

MAGA!

Fuck your feelings! 

For a geezer with a punctured lung and a mangled boat you still have plenty to say

punctured brain

[Texas Iron]

Musk bought the election…gave it toTrump….but will still interfere in his own interests…SICK…

Trump and GOP all getting rich on it Too…

Totally Corrupt…Money controls it all…

[One Sunny Day]

Isn't Trump that guy who wears nappies and shits himself in front of world leaders? Making America stink again!

[Nutsin]

No, don’t have a mangled boat. Splashes on the face luckily enough, shoulder took the brunt. Had to have skin graphs and wear a jobst vest for a year to even out the scar.
pretty lucky.

Yeah I’ll always have something to say.

Looks like the Dems were up to their old tricks in trying to slam a spending bill through at the last minute which included a lot of additional spending (pork) including a pay raise for the congressmen and an expansion of their healthcare benefits. It was 1500 pages deep.

Only this time Musk and others took the time to actually read it and expose the level of wasteful spending. 

So now the GOP are refusing to approve it.

Finally some accountability! 

Good news for the tax payer. It’s about time!

so happy to have Elon on our side.

MAGA!
DOGE!

 

[One Sunny Day]

Meanwhile, Georgia has made an ex Man City player their president and S Korea have impeached their's. Oh yeah, in the USA their future health secretary wants to bring back AIDS or rickets or something.

[Nutsin]

Of course lower oil prices will crush Iran so they won’t be able to fund Hezbullah, Hamas and other proxy groups so expect the Abraham accords to gather momentum again, which is a good thing.

The best part will be the exposure of all the pathetic bullshit and lies we have had to deal with these last 8 years from the Dems.

Also RFK cleaning up the food industry is a big win for the health of Americans, Processed foods are out of control.

Any body have any input on why Joe Biden pardoned Hunter for all crimes known and unknown dating all the way back to when he became member of the board at Burisma? Expect Joe to pardon all the rest of his extended family too as we all know they’ve been on the take for years.

I really want Nancy Pelosi and her husband investigated for insider trading. It’s so obvious what’s going on there.

I could go on but I’m getting too excited thinking about it all.

Exciting times for the normal people….

MAGA!

[Nutsin]

When everyone realizes just how good the USA has it under Trumps policies the U K will follow.

Eurozone will probably stay buried in Socialism.  But they will start paying their fair share to NATO now, no more free loading off the U S taxpayer. Which I like!

I’m looking forward to DOGE cutting Gov’t wasteful spending. Ideally I’d like to see the U S pull some of the hand outs we give to countries that don’t toe the line.

I expect Iran to quiet down and Trump has already warned the BRICS nations of heavy sanctions if they pursue De Dollarization. India has already fallen in line. So that’s good news.

Mexico have been warned if they don’t stop the flow of migrants through Mexico they will get hit with heavy sanctions, So you can expect a much better effort from the Mexicans, Looks like they might pay for the wall after all if they don’t fall in line. But we all know they will fall in line, they have no choice.

Drill baby Drill will bring down energy prices for WTI crude. Hopefully Brent crude will follow, OPEC loses its influence once  more.
That will help with inflation, which will give us lower Interest rates which in turn will reduce the ridiculous trillion dollars per year plus we are currently paying on interest on our 36 trillion dollars debt. 

Feds cutting short term rates but the long term rates are continuing to climb, Look at the 10 year T-Bill chart if you don’t believe me. People seem to be in search of yield instead of safety which would explain why Bonds are being dumped causing long term yields to go up as money is moving into risk on assets like equities. With tax reform we can all expect more capital investment from venture capitalists which will drive growth too.

interesting to see how it all shakes out but optimism is back for the working man and that’s a good thing

MAGA!
