I really hope the boycott of American products continues. If things get bad enough hopefully Trump will be forced out, or at the very least have this whole thing blow up in his stupid orange face

He won’t be forced out. He’s pursuing avenues for a third term, and he’ll probably get it, because America is fucking broken.

Nostradamus predicted the Anti-Christ would rise out of the East. Since his writing was cryptic, people always thought that meant the Middle-East, but really it just meant the Eastern US - New York.

It is, but I’m just hoping that if he fucks with everyone’s money for too long, even his biggest supporters will turn on him.

This may be pessimistic, but I don’t think the people that vote for him will ever turn on him. They’re too concerned with being fucking stupid and hateful as a lifestyle, and “owning the libs,” that they’ll never change.

The US is forecast to be hit the hardest among advanced economies because of uncertainty caused by tariffs, the IMF says

Well done Trump, you absolute bell end.

Is there any (legal) ability at all to have a President removed from office in the US?

Yes. Won’t happen, though, since it requires people to grow a fucking sense of morality.

Yes, that’s what impeachment is, if you’ve heard that term used. Would require both houses of congress to vote for it and there’s no way that’s happening right now.

Ah, ok. I didn’t know that’s what impeachment was. Hopefully it’ll come at some point, probably when the millionaires start losing their money.

If this is true it might be the single most disgusting thing this orange coloured cockswiggler has done.

My first reaction was to bin every American-made thing I own and start burning US flags. However I calmed down and reminded myself that not all Americans are like this - this site being a good example. That said, if there are any anti-Trump/US Administration rallies in England that I can arguably attend I’ll be all over them like a blowfly on a dropped sausage roll!

The country he talks about is the US.

Nice to see his decision/words being mostly welcomed and accepted in the Warhammer community.

I’m surprised the Warhammer championship is in America, given it’s a British creation. Still, good n him!

I don’t really understand what this might mean, but if tarrifs as paid by the importers, in this case the US, I don’t see how it can work.

It won’t and it will be all Biden’s fault. Thanks Obama! Harris mails and that laptop! Also these pesky Europeans!

This mess will go on until the Democrats are supposed to build America up from its ruins and then being told that it takes so long and hurts and the Republicans would do so much better, because “they are actually the fiscally responsible party”, rinse and repeat.

I would prefer to read that happening in a dystopian fiction and not in the news, but I am in the wrong timeline. :sob:

That it doesn’t work is shown by the “winnings” they praise themselves for that are just going back to how things were before Trump and only get rid of some of the mess he has made and only for 90 days or so until he has another tantrum. Lutnick watches that and gets rich by the chaos because it creates people selling and buying shares like crazy. The super rich can’t fail, but they can fail everyone else - that needs to change.

If you live in the United States, there’s no news to pay attention to today. Just close your eyes and listen to some soothing music. You’ll be happier that way.

For those interested in the Palestine/ Israel conflict I recommend checking out the latest episode of of Pod Save the UK, [Moral] Panic on the streets of Glastonbury, for really great coverage of the fallout from the artists who supported Palestine at the Glastonbury festival.

I found it really interesting, but being completely honest - and at the risk of sounding like a complete moron - I still struggle to understand it. All I really get is that lots of people are being killed which is never good.

I appreciate Nish and Coco’s willingness to speak to the rising fascism in the UK, even if they don’t explicitly call it by name. Also Fuck Keir Starmer.

A good starting point to understanding the entire underlying conflict is to read about the Nakba.

What Nish says about Netanyahu is correct, he needs this war to stave off the consequences of the genocide he is visiting upon civlians. As long as there is war he can stay in power, and is just another fascist holding onto power through violence and hiding behind the guise of Democracy.

As Nish points out, there is a big push to label things like what I just said above as antisemitic because Netanyahu is Jewish. But nothing of what I said has anything to do with his religion or nationality. Rather, it is a comment on his abuse of power as a politician. But the impetus is to shut down all criticism of anything remotely related to Israel to use it as a cudgel to silence critics. this has long been the goal of the ADL, to label anything critical of Israel as antisemitic to scare people into silence or support. And it’s working, because career politicians and journalists in countries like the UK and US are afraid enough of being called antisemitic themselves that they are willing to skew the truth and pass laws that declare protest as equivalent to terrorism. It’s a dark time.
