    That was physically painful to watch. It’s beyond comprehension that snake oil seller became president. TWICE.

    Europe, I hope it’s not needed, but prepare as if WWIII is coming. I don’t know if this time US will be an ally or not.

      All this WWIII talk is tiring, Russia has no allies, even if NATO or Europe should get into a full scale war with Russia it would not be WWIII.

      Yeah I literally couldn’t finish it as my blood was boiling. What giant fucking pieces of human garbage both Trump and Vance are.

      I refuse to believe the american people will let him sit for four years. It’s just impossible to fathom that a single person can still defend this walking piece of wasted oxygen.

      I feel truly sorry for all of you having to live in the US of today. Please don’t give up on your decency, solidarity and humanity.

        I’m not an American, but can I ask how they can get rid of him before his four years is up? Is that what impeaching is? Didn’t they already do that last time? Didn’t seem to work…

          I’m no expert on american politics, but from what I understand they would need to impeach him or him stepping down due to mounting resistance from the public. Impeachment needs a majority vote (2/3 I think) which won’t happen unless the democrats have enough votes.
          Last time they did not.

          The last seems unlikely, but I do believe most republican reps will change their tune if their constituents threaten their job security.
          My reasoning being that they are in it for themselves first and foremost.

          What confuses us (read: me) in Europe is how much shit they all get away with before voters change their mind. Hopefully more and more americans get fed up with the administration as prices rise and allies choose to look elsewhere for trade and weaponry.

      I couldn’t watch it all, trump and vance acted like used car salesman, yelling at someone because they got called out on their fleece and lies.
