    Don’t look up.

    Wall to wall moaning is nothing compared to the incoming shit storm of the next 4 years.

      I’m not even in the same hemisphere as the US, I’ll be watching with a mixture of fascination and horror.

      Good luck though!

        Oh trust me, the watching with a mixture of fascination and horror is coming from inside the states too.

        I wish you good luck as well. I hear the US is known to fuck around with other countries occasionally. (And that’s not supposed to sound threatening - it’s just a recognition that we fuck with other countries even during “good” administrations, never mind when we have a dictator-loving wannabe in the office)

              The country with the biggest military of the world, who they have received a lot of support from, just elected a president that supports the dictatorship committing crimes against humanity in their country. Do you not see how that is problematic?

                  First: The commander-in-chief doesn’t control the military?

                  Second: Even if he didn’t, how would that matter for Ukraine? Removing both their support and the sanctions on Russia would still hurt them a lot.

                    Only with unilateral approval from Congress.

        Yeah, great fun watching the planet we all share start boiling and ruining the future not just for our own species but for millions of others.
