A Political Thread pt. 2

[General Melchett]

yes but the left bloc won't vote for a democratic party working with Musk after everything he's done the last year or so, and they know that's millions of votes they can't go without. not to mention the easy attack lines the GOP will have over it

Yeah I'm not sure. If he turned on MAGA and the far right I think many fickle voters would swallow it. They love a storyline. It'd be like bad guy wrestler turns good guy. Relocate some of his operations to certain blue states, relaunch the $1m lotto and people would soon forgive.

Not saying it will happen but wouldn't be a big surprise.

Musk will go full bat **** conspiracy theorist and spend the rest of his life shouting on his ever diminished social media platform

Seismic change in the NHS planned

Trump has issued an executive order against a law firm that represented Clinton and Soros, and have openly stated the reason is nothing more than political revenge...

If course it's completely illegal and of course Republicans do nothing.

I wonder if we will see a brain drain from the U.S. Yes taxes are higher here and the EU but that may be preferable to potential false imprisonment or being forced out of a job

I watched Tango man hosting Martin last night. He's just a bitter old man who is shaping America's foreign policy based on his own personal grudges. He was slamming the EU because they slowed down the planning permission on his Irish Golf Club refurb years ago.

Just rambling on using the same scripted lines slagging off Biden and how the wars in Ukraine and Gaza would never have happened had he been President blah blah blah which he can't even prove. I wonder how many times he's said the word 'deal' since he moved back into the Whitehouse.

Scared the hell out of me when the bbc/sky said "NHS England to be scrapped" at first.

Didn't Trump publicly endorse Democrats at one point? he was a registered democrat between 2001 and 2009.

These people don't have a political compass except neo-liberalism at all costs on the financial side.

Except trump has been aggressively anti neo-liberal since he's come into office this time. He hates free trade since he considers competitive advantage unfair to the United States. He'll probably sign an executive order demanding people buy Teslas at some point. He's a mercantilist.

Probably a good thing, but always feel sorry for the thousands who will be made redundant.

15,300 staff at NHS England, and 3,300 in the Department of Health and Social Care.

Streeting says his teams are looking to reduce the overall headcount "by 50%". He adds this will mean "hundreds of millions of pounds worth of savings".

I don't think so, wages are so astronomically higher in the US that it'd be a huge lifestyle change to move here, and realistically they're probably insulated from most of Trumps **** - it's the people without a choice that will get properly ****** over
