Grumpy Trump Sues Poll Because His Popularity Is Plummeting

Yes I am, Stupid as fuck is the correct technical term, but more than that, they are also delusional and most of them are without empathy towards the people they knew would be hurt.To vote for Trump is so bad, it has to be described as close to mental illness to vote for him, because it's an act of self harm for most people that did it.

being arrested is not particularly fun.

Being an inconvenience is not the same as embarrassing.

having to deal with follow up court work

Which is probably near zero has her case will likely be dismissed, but again she is a lawyer.

It's not embarrassing for her, it's embarrassing for the police that they arrested her.She is a lawyer and a civil rights activist, my guess is that being a civil rights activist is in line with her activity as a lawyer.And I doubt very much she did anything illegal.

Grumpy Trump Sues Poll Because His Popularity Is Plummeting

polling research, which currently shows him tanking on everything from the economy and immigration to his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

It is so infinitely moronic that some people thought he would be good for the economy. Trump is an idiot that just happened to be born rich, and he is absolutely evil and ruthless, and is lucky he is not in jail.If Trump wasn't rich, he would have been in jail by the age of 20. His malignant narcissist personality makes him a habitual criminal. He has no regard for others, social grace, tradition or the law.

'EU Ready To Deliver On Powerful Agenda With India': EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas

Jump

Buffalox @lemmy.world 9h ago

Maybe such agreements are easier to make between EU and India now that UK is no-longer a member of EU?India still has a significant grudge against UK from colonial times. Despite EU and UK has abandoned the colonial tendencies, and now work for a world based on international law.I get so sad every time I see India side with Russia and China claiming they are not colonial powers, and they respect the independence of India, despite India has a territorial dispute with China! But they claim siding with Russia is better because India needs independence.Although Europe and UK absolutely fully respect and even to some degree help protect the independence of India. USA on the other hand has now become a complete wild card, impossible to know which side they choose, because the administration is so corrupt they choose decidedly and openly to act against US interests to line their own pockets.

China Wins as Trump Cedes Leadership of the Global Economy

Jump

Buffalox @lemmy.world 10h ago

It's not just Trump that cedes the global economic leadership of USA, it's the American population, they did that when they voted MAGA in 2016, and they put the final nail in the coffin when they reelected Trump in 2024.The MAGA ideology was always disrespect for allies and partners. Tearing up all sorts of agreements including trade agreements and regarding security where Trump already during his first time used rhetoric about how NATO was obsolete. And a constant messaging on how the world needs USA more than USA needs the world.

So Americans chose to pull away and cede leadership both economic and and on defense.This ideology has permeated the GOP since Bush the older became President, heck it had already started with Reagan.This is not an isolated problem that suddenly happened January last year. This is a trend that USA has taken as a people for many decades.

Of course there are both good and smart people in USA, and they are not the ones that are driving the destructive mentality of the people as a whole. But unfortunately the stupid and malignant people of USA have taken over. And they have done that repeatedly, electing worse and worse candidates. Now to a point where a lot of the damage they are doing is irreversible.

Volvo EX60 Review (electrifying.com)

Jump

Buffalox @lemmy.world 11h ago

There are lots of compact EVs on the market like the Renault 5, Huyndai Inster, Citroen C3, Mini Cooper etc.In the medium sized cars (by European standards) the number of models are massive.But some people actually have practical use for these slightly bigger cars, personally I'm a big guy, and I feel cramped in small cars, but there is also some who need to pull weight, and for the Volvo it can pull 1800 kg.It is super nice that these cars are now available as electric cars, because with renewable energy, the pollution is nowhere near as bad as an old gas guzzler.Personally we can drive our VW ID.4 car 100% from our solar panels almost 9 moths of the year.It weight over 2 tonnes, but it's super economic and better for the environment compared to the old car that was about 1400 kg, but was an ICE car.

Our neighbor has the previous model the hybrid version. It's an insanely nice ride, the cabin somehow just feels super nice, and the seats are probably the most comfortable I've ever tried.But this new model is clearly a strong update on the technological side, with way better range and faster charging, if it's as nice to drive as the old model, it will 100% be a super nice car. And the range is clearly improved. 👍

Trump pledges not to invade Greenland

Jump

Buffalox @lemmy.world 23h ago

Yes that was a good speech, very much because it was a speech about facing a new reality, not saying directly but very clearly indicating that USA is not to be trusted, and we shouldn't pretend as if they are.Canada has made 12 International trade and/or defense deals in 6 moths. 👍 😀That's very impressive considering such deals usually take years to negotiate. And despite that I recently saw Canadians complain their government doesn't do enough about the situation with USA? ⁉️

In much the same way EU has escalated international deals to increase independence from USA.The clear winner here is of course China, so congratulations on that Trump!

Trump threatens 200% tariffs on French wine and champagne after Macron refuses to join 'board of peace'

and deserve death

What? I never said any such thing. But yes of course Russia has been the enemy of EU for a long time, even before invading Ukraine, because they've manipulated European politics, something friendly states simply don't do. Incidentally USA has done the same several times since Trump became President.Obviously Russia is an enemy since they've invaded a peaceful European democracy.And now USA is threatening the same, threatening to invade Greenland, despite they've been allies with Denmark for 85 years. And Denmark has been among the most faithful allies to USA.

But no I am not calling for the death of either all Americans or all Russians, that is hyperbole that is happening in your mind.Most likely if USA invades Greenland there will be very little to no military response. The response will be very strong economically though, and the threat alone has already almost completely destroyed the NATO alliance. USA is a bigger enemy now than China! Think about it! We trust USA less than we trust China now!How do you think that will influence support for USA in the future?

But using Russia as a comparative example is pretty spot on, because USA is behaving like Russia now.

Americans Are the Ones Paying for Tariffs, Study Finds

Next thing they'll say Mexico didn't pay for the wall either.Maybe even that the economy isn't actually doing that great and unemployment is increasing.Or that USA doesn't really need Greenland for security.It's like a smear campaign against Trump, as if he was lying all the time.This is liberal propaganda, you can clearly tell because they use facts, and everybody know that facts have a strong liberal bias.A serious reporter should report both sides equally!/s

It's not hate, I'm just stating an obvious fact, that USA is now an enemy to democracy and the international rule of law, and also to human rights.How am I a fascist for pointing out a fundamental problem of USA that goes way beyond Trump?There are good people in USA, but they are still part of a system that has now become our enemy.

Politically I am very much a moderate, and I have to realize that there is absolutely nothing moderate about USA as a country right now. USA isn't even a real democracy, considering they have only 2 right wing parties. 1 is far right, the other is extreme right.

It's awful yes, but it's a fact.USA as a country is an enemy, and technically that means all Americans.If the sane Americans can change things back to normal in USA, this would end.But as it is, when USA as a country is an enemy, the population of that country becomes an enemy too. Because it's the population that allow the government to function as it does.

You are among those that allowed it to come to this. All Americans are responsible for failing to do more, as it is the entirety of American society. Although everybody is not equally responsible of course.

The American people as a whole is allowing it.Yes some resist, but in total Trump and his administration is allowed to break the law over and over again. Sometimes even legalized by the supreme court.

USA as a country is finished compared to what it once was, it has descended into complete sociopathy and disregard for the law and human rights, and any decency is long gone, where even legal immigrants and citizens are thrown out the country while illegal immigrants like Elon Musk and Melania Trump get a pass because they are rich. And USA as a country behaves decidedly like a mafia towards other countries and their leaders, even including long time allies.

Like it or not, if you are American you are fucking part of that, and if you aren't actively resisting, you are contributing to the madness. And it is way way far from half the population of USA that is actively resisting. So for sure the majority of the American population is STILL enabling this shit show.

There's a reason Americans are unpopular, not just Trump and the administration.There are good Americans, but they are such a small minority, when a malignant narcissist which is just about the worst personality disorder that exist can be elected President with half the votes, and about 40% of the population not bothering to vote.2 thirds of the American population either wanted Trump, or didn't mind enough to vote against him.That is a very clear indication that USA as a society has gone insane and has become sociopathic.

USA as a country is our enemy now, not just the GOP. USA as a country and as a society is an enemy because of the administration they collectively elected and collectively allow to continue.But obviously Americans that oppose the system are not as much enemies, how much of a dimwit do you have to be to have to have that pointed out?

Edit:USA is de facto our (EU) enemy now, and they are an enemy of democracy and the international law based order.Every American is part of US society, they work there, live there and have their economy and pay taxes there, and by that they are supporting the American regime even if it is unwilling, and they help funding of the USA military.This technically goes for even people like AOC and Bernie who I politically support. if people like AOC and Bernie came to power, we would have no problem normalizing relations with USA again, at least for 4 years. Obviously things can never go back to the way they were before, they could obviously become a lot better than they are now. But we can never really trust USA again, when they have such a huge portion of their population that will vote for someone worse than a psychopath, and too thirds either support him or don't mind having a malignant narcissist for president.

So most definitely this problem is not limited to MAGA or GOP, it's based in a mental sickness of the American society, where narcissism is seen as an expression of freedom. The US society is sick like when a person is sick with cancer. Not all cells in the body are cancerous, but enough are to make the body terminally ill. And that is how USA is today.We can't judge USA by the good and non crazy people in USA, because they are not in power, and they are unable to reign in the insanity that is going on.Saying we should consider USA based on them too, would be like considering Germany during WW2 on the fact that they also had a Jewish minority. Politically and regarding how Germany behaved that was completely irrelevant. And in the same way the people that try to resist Trump are irrelevant, because they have zero impact on how USA behaves as a country.But no I don't judge Americans that voted against Trump, or Americans that are trying to resist. I wish more would do that. Fighting Trump is a worthy fight.But it seems many Americans find it hard to accept that USA is now an enemy. Not Trump, not MAGA, not GOP. But USA as a country.
