Bit late now.  Trump won and America is obviously great again.  Who'da thunk.

Where’ve you been?!  We’ve been riding it for the last couple of months!  The world has officially gone mad, well Amerikkka / USSRA has anyway.

Thanks for asking. Trying very hard to avoid the "I told you so" reflex...

At least Trump has put a stop to the $8 million that the USA spends on making mice transgender.  God, the man's a moron.  https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/global-trends/donald-trump-congress-speech-trump-says-transgender-mice-internet-says-wait-what-and-the-memes-go-wild/articleshow/118730520.cms?from=mdr

Not nice... to morons.

He and Musk are simply allergic to any words beginning with "trans". I wonder how they'll try to avoid words such as "transformation", "transatlantic"...  *%87


For anyone who missed the mini-mousegate, the clinical trials weren't about making mice transgender, they were about using mice to try to determine health outcomes (cancer, asthma...) of gender-affirming treatments on humans.

I should have called this thread Good Luck World!  Too late now, the world is in the process of being blown up by one deranged individual and his posse of MAGA Sicko-phants.  FFS.

Really?  Give a chimpanzee a dartboard with some policy decisions written on it and a set of darts, train the chimp to throw the darts at the board to decide what to do next and it would still do a much better job as POTUS. 
As someone else wrote somewhere else:

24 hrs to peace in Ukraine - Fail
Solution in Gaza - Fail
Tariff strategy - Fail
Credibility - Gone

Missed it. I quite liked him actually.

Now, my Canadian pals are praying for Mark Carney (the alternative is the Trump wannabe).
