    I have been saying for so many years how I’m moving out of this country, goodbye and good riddance. I’m not at a place where I can do it just yet but I’m getting there… I cannot wait to call myself an expat.

    Good luck. The US military is so dominant and ubiquitous that only in a Unabomber-style cabin in the woods somewhere will you be totally away from the influence of the United States, if not its military, its economic influence.

    For example, the GOP wants to tie economic aid to poor countries to a policy of banning abortion, but with total power in Trump’s hands, why stop with just controlling abortion worldwide? Why not freeze out any country from any trade with America if they don’t (fill in the blank).

    And Putin? I think Russia pretty much has a blank check and a blind eye now, only it will be a suburb of Trump’s America because, Russia’s economic power—even if it wins back all of the territory the USSR lost—will pale beside America’s.

    I think we’re leaving the period of American world influence to American world dominance.

    Even before his term begins, the Trump admin is already starting to try to control the world:

    Yes, that link gives one pause, and it belongs as well in the Fourth Reich thread. Why stop with conquering America, after all.

    I wonder when shipments of Howitzer shells and F35’s to Moscow will begin?

    Trump’s mass deportations will be a disaster!

    It will make produce scarce in the supermarkets, it will slow down construction and make it more expensive, and much of the support staff in our hospitals are at risk of being deported as well.

    @unseen, it’s already a huge nightmare. All of it. Did you see that basically Putin has already made a laughing stock of Trump? And Trump is already saying things about them deporting even people who are here legally. It’s really scary. it’s going to be absolutely horrible. He’s going to cause world war 3 and a Civil War at the same time.

    Want to leave the country, but can’t afford it?
    No problem. The MAGA administration has you covered.
    Just tell us “I’m a Mexican” It’s that easy. We’ll handle the rest.
    Worried about the paperwork? No problem.
    The MAGA administration heard your complaints about the long citizenship process. So we’ve streamlined this exit process just for you.
    No paperwork nor visa needed on your end. You don’t even need to be Mexican. any shade of brown qualifies.
    Just ask at your local ICE office today. Avoid the rush.

    Europe is paying immigrants to leave. The far left nations have predictably turned right. Let in a lot of Muslims. What could go wrong? They won’t rape our women. They won’t use up our welfare money. They will want to assimilate and become good citizens in the tradition of when in Rome do as the Romans do. They won’t attempt to Islamise our nation.

    “Other European countries also offer grants as an incentive for migrants to return home. Denmark pays more than $15,000 per person, compared to around $1,400 in Norway, $2,800 in France and $2,000 in Germany.”

    I recently broke bread with Swedes. They frickin hate Muslims or maybe Islam. I did not get into it in enough depth to know. Same time just found out they’re horrified at election of Trump. I am nearly certain if you had taken a poll pre immigration attitudes towards Muslims in Sweeden or wherever many have immigrated v. current attitudes it would be significantly more negative now.

    This is a consequence of being captive of an ideology. It means you are brain dead and tow the party line. Everything turns into a F’g religion. Feminism? Absolutely needed back in the day. Yet it turns into a religion with all kinds of weirdness and the deriguere antisemitism of the far left. Let me stop from ranting like a wild Balhoonian.

    You gotta love Bill Maher. He always tells it like it is 😂

    What Maher is saying is that you have to play to what people believe instead of what is true in order to win. In fact, Biden did turn the economy and inflation around, he did strive to end the trickle-down policies that both parties have been supporting for decades. Voters are in fact misinformed. Doesn’t matter. Bill is correct you must do what it takes to win.

    Maher discounts that over a million Americans did actually snuff-out while on breathing machines this decade, many because selfish Americans could not do the simple things like wear a fucking mask or get a “jab”. No, they went to church and prayed. Of course, identity politics and pro Hamas support is plain stupid. But so are “Hispanics/Blacks for Trump”. Or women. When they go for that job now, the HR guy won’t be a gay dude very excited to see them. It’s gonna be a good ole white boy who tells them, “sorry, you just don’t have the experience we are looking for”. And forget about college. That’s just for the whites, who are Making America Great Again!

    Stephen Miller wants to deport birthright citizens (people born on American soil) if their mother wasn’t a citizen when they were born. He also wants to take a look at naturalized citizens, people who currently ARE citizens by passing the required tests who, by doing so, probably know more about the American system and its history than the average native person on the street. People with so-called “green cards” (which, BTW, are not actually green) may be at risk, especially if they are non-European. Many of these people are wives/husbands of native citizens.

    My hope is that these policies, and many of his others, will prove so popular that Trump will have to curtail or end them. Why? Because he’s so obsessed with being popular. He’s addicted to polls. As long as he can feed his greed, that may be enough to keep him happy. The big risk there is that he’s already signaling he wants a permanent presidency by “joking” about a third term.
