A better way of looking at it is to use the number who are eligible to vote, that is around 245m
The Trump Presidency - Part 2
- Thread starter The Boy
- Start date
Did you read the second part of my short post? And 340mAre you counting the babies, toddlers, and all other intelligible to vote people?
Don't forget the prisoners and the illegal immigrants. Jeez, you can't forget the illegal immigrants!Are they really present in the census ?
No, they can't vote. That was what I was getting at but someone has already put the eligible voter number up.
No I meant are they present in the official 340m figure? I always thought there are actually significantly more people there.
To be fair I thought there was over 370 million. Let's see what Google says.
335 Million ISH.
To the people of Palestine, they might as well just be.
To be fair, I think the overthrown president of Bangladesh was a cnut.
Of course. Trump is pro climate change.
What’s the point in voting for a Labour Party that is further right than the Tories under David Cameron?
There literally was a nuclear deal and he ripped it up!
No dark sarcasm in the classroom.
Teacher leave them kids alone.
Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone!
All in all, it’s just another brick in the wall.

That's not true. Kier is centre/centre right for sure. He's Tony Blair with a better suit and prettier Mrs. But he's not as far right as you make out.
I guess he's going to peacefully remove all the Palestinians from Gaza while building his hotels and golf courses there.
That entirely clean work will be done by his bae Bibby.
Welcome to the Gaza MAGA Strip.
In the other timeline we get a manga strip and everyone is happy.
No just tastefully take out a double page advert in the New York Times asking for them to be charged for crimes they didn't commit because of their ethnicity shortly before having them deported to the Ukrainian front line live on Fox News to the tune of the YMCA (irony still completely missed)
Reports that CIA is getting gutted.
Jesus christ. National Intelligence and National Security being gutted for Trumpism's is insanity.
Serious end-times.

We'll see what happens but he's got a lot of dead children to ignore before he gets close to the number Biden presided over. It's sad but predictable to see how many suddenly are trying to gaslight what went on under Biden. There's absolutely nothing to suggest Israel wouldn't have ethnic cleansed Gaza under Biden, he let them cross over red line after red line and excused it away.
Now you all get to play politics and joke over an issue involving the actual murder and mutilation of little kids. Well done.
Nope - it's the MGGA strip, subtle difference that enables him to grift more sales of baseball caps and the like
Intelligence is woke. Probably.
I'm sure the black-ops guys will lend a hand if you ask nicely
When there are only two choices, the phrase is quite appropriate.
Better ask one of our friends down under, they know about this sort of thing much better than I do
That is US with the gloves off
Because was never the US with the gloves off. It is "corralito" 's Trump
Doesn't Raoul work in State? Are they getting gutted too?
Better say "people in power don't want free trade but trade on their terms. Then is your opinion with what people can agree or disagree but neo liberalism is a clear definition that might or not define people in power. In your opinion, people in power don't want free trade, therefore, they are not neo liberals
There will definitely be some Republican push back against this. The only questions are how many, how much, & how far?
Ahahaaaaa! So you are a spook. fecking knew it!
Yeah, as far as I'm aware the entire ISH is being gutted, including the State department who he has mentioned worked against him and are in need of streamlining. He's also gutted and gutting the FBI from everyone involved in the searches, investigations and cases against him. To add to that those remaining are being given the task of holding those who worked against Trump accountable.
The irony and hypocrisy is genuinely on another level.
Probably it will mostly be performative. Trump is practically a God Emperor to them now.
Perfection is relatively far from ‘enabling a genocide’. It is quite understandable people abstaining in the last election.
NB: Saw that you replied to a similar comment. I do not think that people should always vote for the lesser evil, especially when the lesser evil might be closer to the greater evil than to what the particular voter want. The Democratic Party essentially manipulated three primaries in a row, putting their wanted candidate in each. At some stage, people are right to say ‘feck them, our votes are not for granted’ and demand them choosing some candidates who offer more than ‘they are not as bad as Trump’.
"Neoliberalism is whatever I dislike, and the more I dislike it the more neoliberal it is."
Oh absolutely get down of your high horse and do one.
You won’t find one comment from me on this forum defending the Biden Administration’s actions in Gaza.
Trump has been in the job 2 weeks and has publicly come out, with Netanyahu by his side and said he plans to remove the Palestinians from Gaza and turn the place into a resort.
Biden’s Administration oversaw and supported genocide. Trump has announced that he’ll finish the job.
So spare me the hysterics over a comment I made where my only suggestion was that Trump would be every bit as bad, if not worse than Biden.
You can also replace neoliberal with woke.
They are gutting the FBI
They are gutting the intelligence community
I also heard a proposal to gut the TSA and hand back security screening to airlines
Hmm, wonder what could possibly go wrong

Sounds like it doesn’t matter you who vote for in the US, you will always end up with a pro Israel President/government.
The Israeli lobby have both sides of the house in their pockets.
Things won’t change on that front unless there is pressure from a united international community, or once future generations shun this ‘ironclad’ support for a settler colonial project.

There are two GOP senators with a quarter of spine left, and one who holds a grudge against Trump (or probably against himself for allowing Trump to get re-elected). So not enough to make a difference.
Clowns like Cotton are all talk. He will fall on line.
Are you just now realising this?
thegregster is 100% correct.
What Trump is doing is not at all neoliberalism. It's neo-mercantilism as I have stated before and its a entire level worse than previous iterations of neoliberalism.
Neoliberalism is literally founded on the principle of trade liberalization (free trade), it's an integral core element of what distinguishes neoliberalism. USAID is actually a core department for a neoliberal and cutting it entirely goes squarely against neoliberal principles.
Trump's protectionism is neo-mercantilist. Shutting down government departments willy nilly doesn't make him a neoliberal. He's actually something much worse because we have historically examples of how mercantilism completely failed (see why England became a superpower while the Hapsburg Empire fell off the world stage economically).
Of course not. I’m trying summarise the argument going on between two other posters, who are arguing which of Biden or Trump would be worse for the Palestinians.
