I hate Trump and his policies. This uncontrollable madman costs me 20% of my earnings when I withdraw my money from dollar in euros, all because of his insanity and stupidity-driven tariff and economic policies and the resulting devaluation of the dollar. I'll probably have to raise the prices for my videos...

Prices increased...

We don't blame you, not your fault. We blame the orange clown!

I sympathize with your problem. But I really do not want to hear any politics-ball. This is one of the few places left for me to escape the outside noise.

This. Totally this.

THANK YOU! I'm so tired of all the BS these days (and I'm pro Trump). It's gotten to the point of if you are on opposite sides, that makes you the enemy without question. There's no middle ground nor can you even have a discussion. BAM! You're branded for life!

Thank you for helping to make America great again!

What the hell is a "politics-ball"?!?

No one called you the enemy here -- you're just rotely assuming they will. Also, I would suggest that you read the subject line of posts and spend half a second thinking about them before clicking through to the post itself. Since this thread has "madman in the White House" in the subject line, you should've known it was going to make your blood boil. It's like you're seeking out something to be outraged about.

Why is this in the messy forum? Here for mess not politics.

Wrong forum. This is the messy forum.

You'll want the Off-Topic forum. https://umd.net/forums/forum/offtopic

We had a beloved member of the forum return after a hiatus, who was/is a producer, and it was immediately bumped to off topic.

It's a term one uses when they are not interested in discussing politics; just like those who don't care about sports use 'sports-ball'

I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed that, also.

Everyone who voted for Trump has no right to complain about what is happening. There was enough information out there talking about exactly what he was going to do. Those voters chose to ignore it and this is the consequence of those choices.

On the other side of the isle, millions of people who voted for Biden did not vote for Harris. I have heard all the excuses from being a poorly ran campaign, which I do not deny. To another woman candidate kicking out the man candidate, which I don't disagree with. No matter what your excuses are, there is one simple fact Democrats are not as progressive when it comes to the president as they claim to be.

On both sides of the isle, considering what has happened the past couple of weeks, no one has any right to say that women are too emotional to be president.

I am absolutely pissed about my 401k taking a dump. I have lost thousands from my 401 because of that douche bag and all the insider trading that has happened. I wish that I had the same financial company managing my employers 401k as I have managing my other investments. It has taken 6 months to recover from all the stock market manipulation that happened.

I was hoping that my favorite NOFX song The Decline was more like The Watchmen how it was in a parallel universe etc. One of their lyrics America's for sale and you can get a good deal on it, make a healthy profit was never more true today as when it first came out.

If you think about it, Americans have had a lot of time acting like the Romans. Not a care in the world about things that matter because it will never impact us. We are America the strongest country in the world and we always will be...... That arrogance comes before the fall that we are witnessing in real time. All the professionals that made the government run behind the scenes outside of any political theater have been removed. This is something that we have not seen before..... in America. I am sure that taking a year of history in Germany will teach Americans a thing or two about where we are heading. They have already kidnapped citizens. They are denying congress from accessing detention centers, something that is one of their duties as a member of congress. We have people masquerading as ICE taking folks to places unknown. We have members of ICE afraid of being doxed for what they are doing and so they are hiding all identifying features. If what you were doing was right, you would not have to hide. Hell the LAPD in the 90s didn't even hide their corruption.

When it was first happening, I followed the forum posts from the person that would become known as John Titor. There was something about the possibility of time travel that has always fascinated me. The alternate timelines aspect explained how you could not impact the timeline you left from. I thought a lot about the history he talked about and the wars that broke out with Russia. That America would be in a place where we had reverted 100 years from a technology stand point. I thought that was cool at the time and that it would be nice for people to be forced to grown their own food and fend for themselves. Now we have a president taking us into an illegal war with a country because he has a low approval rating. Unlike Iraq, I think Iran will have no problem bringing the fight to us like Japan did in WW2. Not liking that history that was posted about so much now. Yes I know there is strong evidence that John Titor was a hoax that took a group of experts to portray.
