I started watching last time he got in with a kind of amused schadenfreude, mistakenly thinking that while he was obviously going to be a disaster for the US, he might be less terrible than Hillary for the rest of us.

When he was replaced by a grown-up, I breathed a sigh of relief - I’d not realised how mentally taxing it is to have someone so quixotic and deranged in that position, even from a continent away. This time he’s not even in office yet, and I’m already over the tension that his deranged little outbursts instil in me. Seeing his (and Elon’s) attention focus more over here is unnerving too, neither of them should be making decisions that affect anyone else, let alone in another country!

Hardly a joke considering that they have a population of 1.4m. That’s a medium-sized city…

They’re not poor people, they’re immigrants and all that entails. When I worked in the can in Calais, the fast would turn up and start fights and abuse people, and the police just watched. It’s not a great environment round there

Disappointing image, no standard scale reference

Not even a little Nazi gold tax?

Yeah, I really enjoy Mastodon, this news sucks. Got any recommendations on what I might replace it with for iOS?

It forgot “carry on with the shooting of morally bankrupt CEOs”, but I suppose you can’t blame it for not being bang up to date

I’m not sure rotting is going to be an option. You reckon any of those Korean cons are going to be happier to see him than the guys who’ve been hunting him down on the outside? I don’t, and these dudes don’t have to follow a twitch stream to know where he is. I reckon he’s going to gain a new understanding of what the comfort women went through pretty quickly. My money wouldn’t be on him surviving a 16yr stretch in all honesty

Nah, he’s been banned on almost every platform, and by the time he gets out of jail, no one will remember his name

I watched a video by Botgrinder on YouTube called “you can’t mini whoop the president” or something similar, where he was messing about with an fpv drone at a Kamala rally. Turns out that the Secret Service won’t let you buzz her with a small drone for fun, and if you stand around in fpv goggles they’ll come and give you some grief. He wrote a very funny ai country song about it, worth a watch. However, he didn’t say much about jamming, it was being stood about in the goggles that got him I think. I’d assume that the Secret Service’s jamming is a fair bit better than the Russian’s, but the way the Ukrainian drones have been dealing with that shows that jamming only does so much - if the drone is falling toward the target on an essentially ballistic trajectory, jamming it won’t do jack

Honestly, I’m half expecting some disenfranchised kid to learn from the Ukrainian conflict, and take one of these muppets out with a drone. It’s pretty tricky to shoot even as large a target as trump with his security cordon, but this pillock wanders around in public, and it really would be pretty ironic for someone to live-stream the tech-daddy moron getting fpv’d into a fine paste

Yeah, if we start listing all the things he’s going to negatively affect, we’re going to be here for a very long while

Whoa there buddy, you’d better ease up on those pragmatic and reasonable opinions there! That’s far too rational for round these parts. ;)

I think it’s going to be increasingly difficult to not pull your hair out over the next four (at best) years. I remember breathing a sigh of relief when Biden got in, not because I agree with his politics (I’m not American and don’t live there either), but because I was so tired of looking at whatever the orange idiot had done the day before and thinking “why would you do that”?! This time will be worse.

I hate how stressful it is for everyone else in the planet when the world’s largest economy is being run by a toddler

I mean, it’s already half way there, all they got to do is make it funny

I had to look him up. Seemingly,he’s a cheap ham mannequin in a bad suit, and using the word “personality” in connection with him is really stretching it past the point of credibility

No, he genuinely has a face like an ai-generated thumb. He’s the kind of prank bellend that’s going to get shot eventually, and absolutely no one will care, he’s a gimp

If only there was some recent example of a western country doing something stupid like this that isolates its self from a major chunk of its agricultural workforce, and really screwing over its fresh food supply… (Politely clears throat in post-brexit British)

I’d think that the smart ones will desert as soon as they can

Aha, I lose. I was literally about to comment “urge? He’s the damn president, he should be doing more than urging them to look at it!” until you made me realise it wasn’t the Georgia that has to listen to him

As does having a livable planet for the rest of us, and being able to exist as anything other than a rich white straight-in-public guy in the US. How so much has ended up in the hands of an orange nazi dementia patient in a first world country is pretty astounding
