Europe is fighting for it’s survival right now and the US is attacking Europe as well. I don’t see this US government changing anytime soon, as I stopped believing in any fair elections. Until that’s the case, I would like that door as closed as possible. If at one time the situation improves, by all means, open that door and we can be friends. But it can never ever be the way as it was. Europe MUST be able to defend itself and take its place in the world.

I was banned quite some time ago. I was a 13 year user at that time. I used Reddit without any issues for many years, until a few years back when my posts started to get removed and got temporary bans. I was permanently banned for a response to a post where someone that said it was a women’s own fault for getting raped as they should dress appropriately, that man was hit by a woman. I posted that he deserved that. I got banned right away for “inciting violence”. I guess it is OK to incite rape? I don’t really miss it that much, but maybe I’ll still try again some time. I’ll just refrain from any meaningful discussion.

The world needs to sideline the US as Trump is extremely unpredictable in all matters. As the US was very tightly involved in all the world’s affairs, it will take time to “unweave” unfortunately. But you are correct, it HAS to be done.

The only thing that comes to mind is what the French once did? They are there to stay, rig any election and don’t care one bit about laws.

Well, I guess Canada has no choice then, right? And we Europeans need to sell Greenland. And Panama has to give back the channel. I guess he is in his “art of the deal” mode of starting high so we all grovel to limit the damage. Can’t we as the last free countries not band together against these fascists?

I think that’s indeed one of the big issues with people like that. They surround themselves with yes-men and then start to believe what those yes-men say. And obviously forget that they themselves made it pretty deadly to be a “no-man”.

Trump: “I will, yeah. He liked me.” Trump probably takes that as a compliment.

I think it moves. “Retro” for me is the fifties/sixties.

I agree that Russia is a danger. But it’s also obvious to me that Europe can’t rely on the US any longer. There’s no other option than to increase our defence, but we should not remain dependent on US weapons in the long run. We must build our own weapons (Trump only wants to increase NATO budgets to get Europe to buy more American weapons, he leans way too much to Putin). Not only that, but we most definitely also need an “IT army” that tracks foreign intervention on social media and prevents hacking. We should make sure we err on the safe side, regardless of a GDP percentage. It’s very sad that this is needed to survive and I hope that one day, we can do without and spent our money on scientific research and improving wealth. It’s time for Europe to stand up and lead the free world now!

I enjoy making music. I’m old fashioned. It relaxes me, makes me feel good. I take an electric guitar and just see where it goes from there. I record much of it, but don’t really put it out as I don’t think people are interested in it anyway. I realize it is something from a dark past.

They certainly used the NSDAP propaganda leaflet. Elections are not about facts, but about generating feelings and giving the masses the idea that only you can and will solve all their problems. There was lots of projecting as well. I just hope this doesn’t cause too much damage to the US and the world. What you got now is a corrupt bunch of criminal oligarchs in charge with largely unchecked power. Elon frightens me more than Trump though. Trump can be played by stroking his ego (like the new secretary general of NATO realises he must do to keep NATO alive). Elon is higher on his new power than he ever was on keto. I think he and the heritage foundation just used Trump as a Trojan horse, with Trump being the populist piper. Imagine what you can do with $450 billion? Who’s going to stop you?

Europe is building up its military, most of them well beyond the NATO limit by now, a few, like Poland, even beyond the USA. If it will be enough when shit hits the fan? I’m afraid not yet, but likely can put up at least something of a fight.

If Putin wins, all hell breaks loose. There can only be peace if Ukraine gets hard guarantees, preferable NATO member. If not, Putin will make peace for now, restore his military and just give it another go. Europe must be able to defend itself as we can’t count on Trump and the US from now on. Both him and Elon seem to have a strong connection to Putin. We also should not be depending any longer on US made weapons.

Still, Maga’s will not believe this anyway. Anf fact checking is something from the past. Not sure what Trump wants to achieve with telling such crap? Play the big man again, I guess?

The worst thing: Trump did all that and it didn’t matter one bit to the cult. What’s more important is Kamala’s laugh and that all democrats want to change children’s sexual orientation if they don’t abort them all together right before birth. I never expected the level of insanity humanity could reach. I always thought “it can’t get worse”, but then it got worse.

I don’t get why they even bother? Just fabricate it with AI? None of the cult will ever believe it’s fake anyway.

Zuckerberg jumped on the Trump train. I think this anti LGBTQ stance is based on the MAGA opinions that were needed to raise votes.

Trump wants Greenland, Canada, the Panama channel, wants the windmills gone from the North sea and lots and lots of attention. And over half of all Americans voted for that guy.

It’s an interesting viewpoint, certainly not improbable. There is a strong connection between Elon, Trump and Putin though. It could be that Elon and Putin made some deal and that they both play Trump. That Elon used Trump is clear to me, Elon is the dominating one there. That leaves us with the Putin/Elon relation.
