I don't know why anyone really gives a shit about politics, in all honesty, civil servants run the country, and the politicians talk about policies, but in general, do fuck all. 

 

Did the world really change when Trump was in power the last time? No 

 

Did it change when Biden was? No

 

Will it change when Trump gets back in? No, you'll just see more of the dickhead on telly, that's about it. 

 

Move on

Not the first time I've said this on here, but I'll say it again. If you think nothing happened when trump was last in, then you've not been watching. While trump was not prepared last time, and neither was the republican party because they all fucking hated him and thought he'd fail, the real damage he did was loading the SC with right wing extremists. Even now he's out of power, he is leaving lasting and devastating impact on the citizens of the USA - from abortion and IVF restrictions to the president is now above the law providing he says he was acting as president. He gave sweeping tax changes to the rich and despite his base being predominantly from poor areas, the gap between the rich and poor got bigger. 

 

Then to your point the country is run by civil servants. And don't the lunatic right in America know this. Go and take a look at Project 2025. That seeks to ensure many, many civil servants become political appointments amongst other things in that plan. There was a realisation the lack of planning with a dipshit president was lost 8 years ago, they're not letting that happen again. It's not hyperbole to say this could be the most important election in US history and if Trump gets power, there's is no doubt it'll be the most impactful to the lives of ordinary Americans and as a consequence because of USAs influence, the rest of the world.

I'd say that's true of everyone except Trump. Most politicans on either side come through the same system. They're mayors, governors, senators duing which tenure they learn the rules and to respect US institutions.

 

 

Trump took the word of Putin over his own CIA. Half the desks in the state department were empty, the US ambassador to the UK was an NFL owner and he put his son, a property magnate, in charge of the middle east peace process.

 

These people care nothing for America as a federal entity. They don't care about its justice system, its laws, its government. Lest we forget they stormed their own government building and killed coppers. The fact we don't consider that a big deal shows you how far they've fallen.

 

They're a wrecking ball that want to tear it down and build something new in its place, something I suspect would look like sometime as corrupt as Putin's Russia.

Maybe I should rephrase what I said, I don't give a shit about politics. 

 

Here in Ireland we got a new taoiseach  (prime minister) a few months back 

 

My child minder said to me, "oh that's great, we'll get real change now" 

 

My reply was "you own your own house, you go on two holidays every year, you've got two cars, with one being brand new, and your husband has a harley Davidson to drive when the weather suits, what do you want, 3 cars" the husband laughed. 

 

That's my point, nothing "really changes" with me politicians, sure there's a few soundbites here and there, a financial give out in the budget, which probably gives you an extra grand a year, but in general, it's all set in stone. 

 

Just get on with it i say

As I say, this is why trump and those behind him are different. The impact has been different. If you only look at your specific situation as.one family in Ireland, well trump getting in isn't going to make much difference.

Yeah I'm not saying they're all bonkers by any stretch just by and large very different to us and it's not always noticed due to common language.

Bill Nelson wrote a song on one of the Be Bop Deluxe albums called "Dance Of The Uncle Sam Humanoids". He was on tour there and while they shared a language they were just a completely different set of humans

She's not a very good child minder if she's letting you browse the internet unsupervised, young Chrissie.

 

Now come on, that Geography homework won't do itself!
