Who, exactly, was THAT desperate to ' get out of Europe'? All driven by the guy who was a politician in Europe, with a European passport, a home in Europe, who realised what a grift it would be, and was directed by the Russians. That 'we'?

With no safety net, people obsess about making money so they can afford healthcare, pensions etc. They lose sight of decent values in selfish pursuits of monetary gains.
I don’t know if there are good billionaires, but I know there are decent people who are not rich, willing to ignore Elon’s overt fascism to see a $20 rise in Tesla stock. When a nation doesn’t have a decent welfare net, what’s in the bank, or your wallet, becomes your moral compass.

Another question: At a club with over 150 employees, how did Donald Trump know that a 15-year-old girl was no longer working in the spa? He said he knew when Epstein "stole" her. It's not like Donald is a man known for paying attention to every little detail.

Trump has said something useless again. Doesn't know what day he'll say whatever it is he'll say. Unless it's "I resign" it won't be anything important at all.

It is weird to think that we are somehow outside of nature and it doesn't concern us. People have been all too eager to misinterpret an ancient text which says we have 'dominion over nature'. Dominion should give protection to the defenceless, not crush it down.
Bafflingly there are still people out there in the world who think being passionate about nature is “kind of weird”. or “a niche interest”. These people have it all wrong. Nature isn’t some quirky sideline to the main business. It IS the main business. Nature is us.

On 8th May it'll be the 80th anniversary of victory in Europe. ve80.com 80 years since brave Americans stood alongside other Allied forces to defeat Nazism. Incredible to think that now, America is now on the side of Fascism. How have these cowards and con-artists got to power?

It must be galling for Americans to realise that their country has been taken over, not by some impressive race of supermen with colossal strength and intellect, but by a bunch of simple, entitled white* men who act like toddlers at the merest provocation.

A confident person can deal with criticism. A thin-skinned dictator can't. Imagine being so weak you won't let some old punks into the States because they criticised you.
