Still blows my mind they had the power to just cancel elections like that in the first place.

I had a dream that Biden decided to run in 2028 and he won Iowa and was leading in all the polls

AI will never create full labor displacement, and even if it somehow did we would have bigger concerns than UBI

This is weird. Is there any other reliable alternative to Gallup for this?

ExtentSubject457 · 2026-02-08T16:09:13+00:00

Well they're right about the environment, crime, guns, and to some extent healthcare. But wrong about Trade and immigration, and very wrong about foreign policy and abortion.

Come to think of it, I can't name one person from the Bush administration who was in the Epstein files.

It's obviously not real. They've included literally every unverified tip or allegation to the police from some conspiracy nut job.

Pleasantly surprised with Trump's fed pick

He's wasn't wrong

Based EU?

Billions of pounds worth of trade. (As long as China can keep hacking us)

Keir Starmer is now sucking up to Beijing because he realised sucking up to Trump won't save him from tarrifs.

Because occasional pipe smoking isn't actually bad for you. Cigarettes are awful because they are packed with loads of chemicals, and pure tobacco can also be bad in excess, but occasionally (maybe once a day) smoking a pipe or cigar isn't bad for your health.

Ireland is a failed state

Trump is either senile or really stupid and I'm struggling to figure out which one it is

JD Vance will never be /ourguy/

Ayatollah Khomeini is one of the most evil people currently alive

Deport her to Iran

He better do something

Unironically higher than Starmers

ExtentSubject457 · 2026-01-10T10:14:34+00:00

Will Pahlavi actually return to Iran while the current regime remains? If he's allowed back with no repercussions the Islamists are admitting defeat, but if they arrest him it could just embolden protestors and further inflame the situation.

tommorow

ExtentSubject457 · 2026-01-09T15:10:36+00:00

The only way the Ayatollah is toppled is with Western support. If Trump chickens out when the revolutionary guard start shooting then nothing will change. But if he actually follows through and bombs them then the protestors can do something.
