A convicted felon should be in prison, not in the White House. What has happened to the USA that it elects this piece of trash as its president?

Anybody else wishing that, if the Republicans *were* going to do an end-run around Article II, Section 1 by installing a proxy, they had gone with Ahnold?

The Times of India reports that one of the DOGE 6 previously worked at SpaceX where:
"...amidst rocket fuel and relentless ambition, he interned, absorbing the ethos of innovation like a sponge in zero gravity."

Out of interest, does a sponge absorb ethos better or worse in zero gravity?

Maybe it didn't turn out so great that 70 million fools were stupid enough to vote for a narcissistic, greedy, vengeful, lying clown supported by a political party filled with a bunch of stumblebums too stupid and/or spineless to ever contradict him.

Not sure that it is just the US that has been trumped

Apparently war and ethnic cleansing is just a real estate development project for the Trump family

Let's give one of the little ones a cruelly destroyed place full of unwanted people to be disposed of first

While not wnting to disrepesct any assistance by allies to deal with the Nazis in Europe maybe the overkill was real estate too

Send a million or so Palestinians from their flattened city to some out of the way new town a long way from home and build Mar el Lago two on the sunny shores of the Mediterranean. Land of the setting sun perhaps.

Some of us have always put a lot of respect and trust in the USA and what they stand for

How is Ukraine going. Biden or Trump enterprises got their plans drawn up already

I still have trust and hope in the people and institutions of the USA

Edit. Funny how often forums go offline for a while after I post. Hope I don't cause consternation with free speech. There is a thing called rhetoric too. Maybe BBO lawyers need to be consulted occasionally

Edit 2 I remember reading an alternative interpretation of Capitalism sowing the seeds of its own destruction. Its cyclical. But look at the endless possibly contrived conflict and cruelty that goes with it
