    Um… So by further embarassing ourselves on the international stage, showing ourselves to be erratic and irrational, we discourage international brain drain and future “free trade” agreements, reducing our outsized influence on the world, and thereby encouraging multipolarity, which in the the long term will probably benefit all of humanity, of which we are a part.

    Americans get nothing. The president gets another distraction from whatever batch of crimes he’s committing today.

    A distraction from things that matter.

    Btw, what happened to those Epstein Files? The ones that didn’t get released like the law said they had to be? What’s the point of laws again?

    I tell my right-wing American friends it is political correctness. Changing names is expensive. I remember having the USSR on maps in school because changing them out is expensive.

      He can’t T-pose because he would lose balance, so he tries to assert dominance by other means.

    Distraction. From what, I couldn’t say exactly. Actually, yes I can. High prices, family members being killed in foreign conflicts, political grifting, Epstein files…

      I heard that there’s a picture of Orange man’s willie in the Epstein files, but it wasn’t released because it was labelled as CP. Because it was so tiny.
