But it does make ya wonder why he wanted to run for a second term. He probably won’t make it to the end of the current administration.

There are already conspiracy theories going around that he kept his medical issues (dementia, cancer, etc) a closely guarded secret whilst running for re-election.

As for why I think Biden wanted to run for a second term, my guess is that his plan was to stand down and effectively proxy the United States' first female leader in that way. Harris would have otherwise been eviscerated in the primaries.

He won’t live long enough to see the major impact of slow rolling Trump’s arrest.

Dude, with the way Trump is handling things, the 2026 midterms and 2028 presidential elections are going to be about as Fair and Balanced™ as a Fox News broadcast.

This raises the question: why would you want to invest in US companies? Republicans are presiding over a $36 trillion mountain of debt and now want to run further deficits to raise that mountain, after imposing tariffs on everybody in the weeks prior.

It feels like it's only a matter of time until the USA's debt bubble bursts and takes out a good chunk of the global economy with it.

BRICS are getting exactly what they wanted with Trump. This is how you destabilize the dollar and make the Chinese yuan the world's reserve currency.

So they're wilfully ignoring the EU's Digital Markets Act and a US court-ordered injunction that prevents them from punishing developers for trying to circumvent the use of the App Store for in-app purchases, after one of their execs was caught lying under oath and potentially facing criminal repercussions.

I'm not the biggest fan of Epic Games, but I really want to see this backfire spectacularly. Apple's business practices are so bad that it makes me want to see Tim Sweeney kick Tim Cook's ass in court.

He should lawyer up. If you've signed contracts, rented apartments and genuinely relocated for this, it should be an immediate lawsuit.

I dunno, a lot of the rules they established sound reasonable, and they don't really want to risk a raid from the German authorities.

You sound as bad as Trump now with the whole "electoral interference" allegations.

And before you call bullshit, why is it only bad when he says it?

Lastly, the seriously racist, yearning for apartheid types, don’t want to go to America. They want to carve out the Volkstaat, an Afrikaans-speaking White ethnostate, from the territory of South Africa. It ain’t gonna happen, but leaving the county fully and moving to America would still be a step in the wrong direction for them.

It's already semi-happening in South Africa. Orania has a population of ~3,000 and is growing each year.

At this point, US politics has gone far beyond the point where we can make jokes about morons voting for the face-eating leopard party. Anybody who didn't vote for Kamala Harris because she wasn't critical enough of Israel, didn't do enough for LGBTQ rights, didn't have enough left wing policies, etc. is now reaping what they sow.
