      Whoa whoa whoa whoa! Hang on a second. We didn’t elect a king. You don’t elect a king. We elected a dictator.

      There’s a difference.

      Kings are born royalty. This jackass got elected. We CHOOSE him. This is OUR fault. Whereas with kings, nobody chooses them. They’re just born into that role.

        I don’t think we did though. Before even one vote was counted he was bragging that the results don’t matter because he has all the votes he needs. He literally announced that he’d rigged an election and nobody did anything about it.

          That’s not true, tons of voters heard that and stayed home to make sure he’d win and be the first republican in decades to win the popular vote.

    It’s impossible because Trump keeps doing things it can still be 3:00 in the morning over there and he’ll do something. All Europe seems to have is the Germans, and they keep posting in their weird secret language.

    The US is like turning on a morning soap opera. What absurd and dramatic contrivances have they come up with this time that could never happen in real life?

      Eh, I give it a 4/10 right now. There’s still some cool stuff to do and plenty of great people around, but generally, can’t recommend it if you don’t have to.

    I assume it’s because the life in Europe is better so people don’t need to escape their reality as much. You can go out and see a cool castle or ride a train or go check out a new country. And then you can get really, really, really good food that won’t give you diarrhea like the food here in the US.

        Wenn der Scheiß Zug kommen würde, könnte ich auch Scheißpfostieren.

        What’s the difference between the US and Germany?

        In Germany the ICE will probably not show up at all to take you away.

        Si lo sé, soy uno de esos. Pero igual, si el gobierno no inspecciona las operaciones de los restaurantes, igual te da diarrea. Las veces que he ido a Europa he regresado en mejor condición de estómago.

        Unfortunately, thats a moot point to people who are staring down the barrel of our obscenely large military budget. I dont blame people for not liking us. I didn’t vote for agent orange, but he is still representing our country 🤢

    “USA stuff” is affecting the whole world right now. You are coming to check out an English based social network for non-“USA stuff”. What did you expect?

      I genuinely do not understand what the complaint is. If people are interested in non US things, please, by all means go discuss those things, but please don’t act like it’s weird how it is now.

    It’s a bloody deathwatch. It’s a country which could either crash and devolve, or get out of its own morass… at any moment.

    I might wake up tomorrow and I see headlines of either a civil war or a new world war erupting.
