It's frustrating to be a foreigner and see the rot at the heart of the American political system. It affects you, because the US is a pivotal nation in Western civilization, yet there is literally nothing you can do about it.

Ironically, this situation is the best argument ever made as to why Canada ought to join the US - it would add a bunch of states who would never support this guy, which would be better for everyone concerned. Yet of course the Trump presidency is driving a wedge between the US and Canada like never before.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I mean hell if you just vote in every election you will be more involved than the vast majority of people.

I find it rather bizarre how some asshole who bombards my feed with political agitprop for months then does not even vote in the elections....but it happens. Especially in local elections.

For all its faults, you are still living in a democracy - vote and convince your friends to vote as well.

Apparently Trump's press conference is being...eventful

QuoteTrump calls on Ukraine and China to investigate Biden
Donald Trump has called for Ukraine and China to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, even as Trump is the subject of an impeachment inquiry for... pushing Ukraine to investigate the Bidens.

In an extraordinary press conference outside the White House – aired on cable news and attended by multiple journalists – Trump said China should investigate the Bidens, and suggested he may ask the country to do so.

Trump also said the Ukraine government should start a "major investigation" into the Bidens, "if they were honest about it".

As a reminder: there is no evidence that Joe or Hunter Biden did anything wrong in Ukraine. Or in China.

Trump was asked what he thought Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskiy – who Trump was recorded pressuring to investigate the Bidens – should do.

"If they were honest about it, they would start a major investigation into the Bidens," Trump said when asked what he wanted Ukrainepresident Volodymyr Zelensky to do.

"I would say President Zelenskiy, if it was me, I would start an investigation into the Bidens."

Trump then discussed his trade war with China, before adding:

"China should start an investigation into the Bidens because what happened in China is just about as bad as what happened in Ukraine."

Trump did not explain what he meant by "what happened in China". Again: there is no evidence of any wrongdoing by the Bidens.

Trump was then asked if he had requested President Xi of China to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden.

"I haven't but it's certainly something we can start thinking about," Trump said.

For a man who used to be in the casino business you'd think he'd have learned that doubling down on every bet all the time is not a winning strategy...

Failed casino.  There's also a reason he's gone bankrupt four times and that no US bank would loan him money.

Nah, just double your bet every time you lose, while you lose, to ensure everything's covered when you get your payout eventually. :P

I wonder if any Dem candidates are secretly hoping Donald includes them in the international investigation list.

I am impressed you are surprised. The President could paint the walls of the Oval Office with his own feces at this point and I would just shrug.
