I don't personally like trump, his approval rate is also like 5% in the UK (as in would you vote for trump/American republicans to kill our free health care etc).
However Biden basically hates us because he thinks he is Irish.
Brexit was a shit idea but it was a Trump aligned idea, we also actually pay above our NATO contributions unlike the euros.
So as much as a loss it might be to soyjacks everywhere, from an economic perspective I suspect the likely Trump win is good for us.
Now let me move to America more easily, why do you have open borders for Mexicans but like 4 skilled British visas available a year.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday handed a sweeping win to former President Donald Trump by ruling that states cannot kick him off the ballot over his actions leading up to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol — bringing a swift end to a case with huge implications for the 2024 election.
In an unsigned ruling with no dissents, the court reversed the Colorado Supreme Court, which had determined that Trump could not serve again as president under Section 3 of the Constitution's 14th Amendment.
The provision prohibits those who previously held government positions but later “engaged in insurrection” from running for various offices.
The court said the Colorado Supreme Court had wrongly assumed that states can determine whether a presidential candidate or other candidate for federal office is ineligible.
The ruling makes it clear that Congress, not states, has to set rules on how the 14th Amendment provision can be enforced against federal office-seekers. As such, the decision applies to all states, not just Colorado. States retain the power to bar people running for state office from appearing on the ballot under Section 3.
"Because the Constitution makes Congress, rather than the states, responsible for enforcing section 3 against all federal officeholders and candidates, we reverse," the ruling said.
By deciding the case on that legal question, the court avoided any analysis or determination of whether Trump's actions constituted an insurrection.
The decision comes just a day before the Colorado primary.
Minutes after the ruling, Trump hailed the decision in an all-capital-letters post on his social media site, writing, "Big win for America!!!"
[cont.]
In addition to ensuring that Trump remains on the ballot in Colorado, the decision will end similar cases that have arisen. So far, only two other states, Maine and Illinois, have followed Colorado's path. Like the Colorado ruling, both those decisions were put on hold.
In a statement, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold acknowledged that the court ruled “that states do not have the authority to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment for federal candidates. In accordance with this decision, Donald Trump is an eligible candidate on Colorado's 2024 Presidential Primary.”
The Supreme Court decision removes one avenue to holding Trump accountable for his role in challenging the 2020 election results, including his exhortation that his supporters should march on the Capitol on Jan. 6, when Congress was about to formalize Joe Biden's win.
Trump is facing criminal charges for the same conduct. The Supreme Court in April will hear oral arguments on his broad claim of presidential immunity.
The ruling warned of the dangers of a patchwork of decisions around the country that could send elections into chaos if state officials had the freedom to determine who could appear on the ballot for president.
"The result could well be that a single candidate would be declared ineligible in some states, but not others, based on the same conduct," the ruling said.
Although the bottom-line vote was unanimous, there were some divisions on the court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, as to how the case was resolved. The three liberal justices — Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson — complained in a jointly written concurring opinion that the court had decided more than it needed to by laying out how Section 3 could be enforced by Congress.
They said the decision could "insulate" Trump from "future controversy," adding that the ruling "shuts the door on other potential means of federal enforcement" of section 3.
Conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett agreed that the court went further than required, although she did not join the liberal justices' opinion.
Barrett said although she had some disagreements with the rationale, the liberals should not “amplify disagreement” in such a politically charged case.
“All nine justices agree on the outcome of this case. That is the message Americans should take home," she added.
The Colorado court based its Dec. 19 ruling on Section 3, which was enacted after the Civil War to prevent former Confederates from returning to power in the U.S. government.
The case raised several novel legal issues, including whether the language applies to candidates for president and who gets to decide whether someone engaged in an insurrection.
The state high court's decision reversed a lower court's ruling in which a judge said that Trump had engaged in insurrection by inciting the Jan. 6 riot but that presidents are not subject to the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment because they are not an “officer of the United States.”
Trump and his allies raised that point, as well as other arguments that the 14th Amendment cannot be applied. They also argued that Jan. 6 was not an insurrection.
Republicans, including Trump's primary opponents, broadly supported his claim that any attempt to kick him off the ballot is a form of partisan election interference. Some Democrats including California Gov. Gavin Newsom have also expressed unease about the 14th Amendment provision being used as a partisan weapon.
The initial lawsuit was filed on behalf of six Colorado voters by the left-leaning government watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington and two law firms.
They alleged in court papers that Trump “intentionally organized and incited a violent mob to attack the United States Capitol in a desperate attempt to prevent the counting of electoral votes cast against him.”
Colorado is one of more than a dozen states that has its primary election Tuesday.

My Joe Biden 
Fantasy 
- 5
- 13
I slipped away from this nightmarish election campaign into a delicious dream the other evening. I dreamed that, when Joe Biden gets up to reset his beleaguered presidency at the State of the Union address, he gives this astonishing speech:
Mr. Speaker. Man, Mike Johnson was a nobody just weeks ago — now he's Neville Chamberlain. Madam Vice President. Oy.
Our first lady — you hottie! And our second gentleman. Members of Congress, leaders of our military, justices of the Supreme Court. And you, my fellow Americans.
My report is this: The state of my mental competency is strong. And the union's OK, too.
You think I'm forgetful? Take a look at the other guy — he can't even remember who Nancy Pelosi is, and that gal is the best speaker in United States history! You know what I remember? I remember how to lift people up, not tear them down and pit them against one another. I remember how to tell the truth when my lips move.
I may be 81, but it's not about your chronological age. It's about how old your ideas are. Donald Trump wants to yank us back on women's rights, the environment, mail-in voting — actually, all voting. He's undermining NATO, the strongest alliance ever. I'm trying to build a high-speed train from Vegas to L.A., baby!
It goes on and on, I Cant even remember by s*x dream i had 1 min after I wake up coming to the conclusion that this lady has been day dream fricking Joey
!nonchuds do ya'll have the same fantasy everyday?

President Biden privately has expressed worry that Republicans' daily attacks and the criminal prosecution of his son Hunter are taking a toll on his family — and could even lead Hunter to relapse, given the family's history of struggling with addiction.
Why it matters: Hunter Biden knows this. He told Axios in a rare interview that he sees his continued sobriety as crucial not only to his life — but also to ensuring Donald Trump doesn't return to the Oval Office.
- "Most importantly, you have to believe that you're worth the work, or you'll never be able to get sober. But I often do think of the profound consequences of failure here," Hunter said.
"Maybe it's the ultimate test for a recovering addict — I don't know," Hunter Biden said. "I have always been in awe of people who have stayed clean and sober through tragedies and obstacles few people ever face. They are my heroes, my inspiration."
- He added that in this case, "I have something much bigger than even myself at stake. We are in the middle of a fight for the future of democracy."
Zoom in: A slip by Hunter would weigh heavily on the president as he seeks re-election. Republicans and conservative tabloids have relished documenting Hunter's alcohol and drug addictions.
Hunter's actions during his struggles with addiction from 2013 to 2018, along with his foreign business dealings, will be at the center of his testimony behind closed doors Wednesday as he is questioned by the GOP-led House Oversight and Judiciary committees.
Republicans seeking to impeach Joe Biden have been trying to find hard evidence that he changed U.S. foreign policy to help his family financially, but have yet to find it.
Last July, Hunter swore in federal court that he had been sober from alcohol and drugs since June 1, 2019.
Starting in August 2023, he repeatedly tested negative for drugs and alcohol, U.S. Magistrate Judge Christopher Burke said at a September hearing.
A representative from Hunter's legal team told Axios he has continued to be tested since that hearing, and has tested negative.
Hunter told Axios that his first responsibility for himself and his family is to "make it through that fight clean and sober, and I feel a responsibility to everyone struggling through their own recovery to succeed."
He is resolute that he won't — can't — relapse. But he acknowledges that the temptation is always there for him and anyone else who has gotten sober.
"I don't care whether you're 10 years sober, two years sober, two months sober or 200 years sober — your brain at some level is always telling you there's still one answer," he said.
Zoom out: Hunter emphasizes that his struggle isn't more difficult than anyone else's. But it's undeniable that his recent path to sobriety has been unique.
When Joe Biden announced his candidacy for president on April 25, 2019, Hunter was still in a tailspin of addictions to alcohol and crack cocaine after a family intervention in Wilmington, Del., several weeks earlier had been unsuccessful, Hunter recounted in his memoir, "Beautiful Things."
Hunter quietly fled to California afterward, and "quit responding to the constant calls from Dad and my girls, picking up just often enough to let them know I was alive and seeking help — which in turn gave me cover to burrow back into oblivion," he wrote.
Still, Joe Biden entered the presidential race. Hunter later wrote that "the confidence my father has in me is evidenced by the fact that he still ran."
In the first weeks after Joe Biden entered the race, Hunter met and soon after married Melissa Cohen, a documentary filmmaker. She helped pull him out of his spiral.
Hunter's initial sobriety date was the day they married — May 17, 2019, the day before Joe Biden's official campaign kickoff in Philadelphia.
Hunter acknowledged in court last July that he had a "drink or two" soon after, and said June 1 of that year was his official sobriety date.
What they're saying: Hunter told Axios he hopes he can provide advice for others trying to stay sober.
"Embrace the state in which you came into recovery — which is that feeling of hopelessness which forces you into a choice," he said.
"And then understand that what is required is that you basically have to change everything."

While having my morning constitution, I checked out @autodrama's morning constitution. Slim Pickens today, but I found something peculiar in the first "DAE ORANGE MAN FAN DUMB?" post after sorting by controversial. The most controversial post is made by /u/DullDude69 (he he nice lmao
). Standard maga fare about Bulmphkt draining the old swamp!
Let's take a look at our friend /u/DullDude69 shall we? After his spergout with redditors, surely he's a righteous, godly, BASED, and TRAD member of society. There is no possible way they're a degenerate loser. After all, he's got about 8K karma in 4 months...
52 years old, posted 3 months ago, two updoots, no replies...
Our protagonist works 70 hours per week to support his bedridden braphog wife. He also posted a bunch of nudes of her, check out his profile for details! Trump 2024!
AITAH for resenting my wife for not working?
His hog got fired for poor performance. She hasn't worked in 4 years. They owe $40k in back taxes. Truly our protagonist is wise enough to no do anything crazy when he owes a small fortune in taxes right?
Two words:
Finally, like all Gen X scum, all he talks about is gross s*x. However, he does share something that is a bit beyond the pale, but a common life moment in the MAGA community.
A grandmother watched me jerk off
Definitely not a degenerate loser at all. This is the man who will MAGA!
