Born in UK but live in Australia
I normally am very sceptical about PR pieces like this, but this was nice and I think I need it with all the nastiness in the world right now. SGA seems like a top bloke.

I hope you’re right, it’s been obvious to me for decades but I understand what you mean because establishment media gaslights the public to ignore it.

this is a bit long, but have you seen this? youtu.be/AFrEJTFbSTc?...

it sums up my thoughts on the Democrats (keeping in mind I am to the left of the Democrats).

how many years has parliament been in recess for? Palestinian children have been eviscerated for almost two years so I'm just checking.

This is good timing for Americans. They still have 3.5 years of Trump left. Then they'll move to Democrats who won't need to offer anything for two terms, so it'll be at least a decade until ANYTHING good happens.

I don't live in USA, but this stuff used to stress me out. I've since decided to laugh at it & all of you. Yes, your stupidity has consequences, but luckily the impact to USA is much greater than the rest of us, so I look at it that way now. All good as long as you're harming yourselves more than us

The thing about being irrelevant is a known feeling here. We’re at the arse end of the world. Everything interesting happens while we sleep.

Yes, it can still come here. It’s slowed down if you have things like universal healthcare because people with less to lose turn to fascism & similar ideologies.

I follow UK politics particularly closely as i lived there and i see the signs coming here. They will vote Nigel Farage as their next PM

I agree. The positive is that in the last election, our right centre party tried a diet maga agenda & they got one of the worst results in their history.

But, wherever Murdoch media is, fascism isn’t usually too far away. We are, in part, only saved some of the worst of it because we’re irrelevant

Australia.

It was slightly dark humour. I forget in America it’s given more credence. I live in the country with (I think) the highest covid vaccine rate in the world. It’s more a point about how old and useless democrats are.
July 29, 2025 at 3:45 AM
I mean the democrat hierarchy are horrid. They have a history of being horrid, that’s why they’re in the role. The only positive is that they’re ancient. Early COVID was your best chance of getting rid of them by coughing on a few and hoping they spread it to the others.
July 29, 2025 at 3:32 AM
That is exciting to be fair. America has such potential. That’s a weird thing to say about the only superpower of my lifetime but they just have so much money if they want to do something good for their own people rather than invade the wrong country for twenty years because they can’t find a map.
July 29, 2025 at 3:22 AM
Tricky? They’ll do whatever their donors instruct them to do. It’s kind of where I’m going, supporting either major party is ludicrous. Get rid of your campaign finance laws, then you’re living in the real world. South Australia just instituted publicly funded elections after the premier visited USA
July 29, 2025 at 3:09 AM
That’s fair. I think the democrats will get back into power without having to promise much (just by virtue of not being Trump), people will realise nothing has improved and then anything could happen. I hope it’s something more positive but USA has let me down many times before.
July 29, 2025 at 2:59 AM
I hope so because otherwise I predict complete and utter doom.
July 29, 2025 at 2:46 AM
If we’re boiling it down to what people THINK , most us voters THINK trump was the best person to run their country having seen his previous behaviour, so I THINK most Americans are a bunch of thickies who belong in care homes with a feed bag strapped to their heads to stop them from starving.
July 29, 2025 at 2:46 AM
I have no idea, it’s not about what I “think”. I do know he’s on the flight logs and I do know that Netanyahu blackmailed him over Monica Lewinsky (which shows there’s a motivation to compromise him) which makes me think there’s a non zero chance that USA have at least two known nonce presidents.
July 29, 2025 at 2:41 AM
This will get a lot worse yet. The democrats have their lowest polling I think in 35 years which tells you everything. It turns out that Jefferies and Schumer aren’t the answer either.
July 29, 2025 at 2:24 AM
Epstein knew Bill Clinton. I grant you that the known stuff are post presidency but it wouldn’t surprise me if they knew each other before or during.
You’re acting as though you live in a free & democratic country but it’s a place where a known nonce was thrice allowed to run for president.

Oprah said it once before giving away some cars to her audience by hiding them under their chairs.

The media isn't fit for purpose. Outlets don't want to talk about this topic because much of their listenership are in this demographic. We've also seen with Gaza and Epstein (Trump was allowed to stand at three elections before much of the recent info hit mainstream media) how ineffectual they are.

Yeah it’s a history podcast. Just don’t expect to learn too much about history, then it’s good fun.
July 27, 2025 at 9:49 PM
No no no, you’re not upgrading yourself. I’m the idiot, you’re stupider than I am. You could only dream of being an idiot.
July 27, 2025 at 7:41 AM
To ensure that you are indeed arguing with an idiot. Thanks for showing you can be manipulated by an idiot.
