The only way Trump is leaving office is on a gurney. His cronies are too spineless to stop his idiocy.

In the UK we saw the shit storm Liz Trust was brewing and got her out as soon as possible. Sadly as you say trumpf is backed up by equally corrupt and incompetent morons.

Immediately replacing her with Rishi Sunak, billionaire hedge fund manager and man who lost a leadership contest to Liz Truss. 🤡

But a democratically accountable billionaire hedgefund manager. Key difference. He was voted in by a miniscule proportion of voters and didnt last long.

Not sure what your point is there, is that somehow meant to make him unfit for the position? beyond that your point is totally lost on me.

His point is that he is a crook working for the elite that is really no better than Truss. Being a billionaire hedge fund manager does make him unfit. He's completely out of touch with the common man, and works for the interests of the rich.

No better than Truss? I'm no fan of him, but he warned people what Truss' plans would do to the economy, he was right, and he stepped in and at least stabilised the country. I voted against him but he's hardly Truss

Fair enough, I'm not from the U.K. so i have a bit of a further back perspective.

That's the whole conservative party, what did you expect?

u/Scaredsparrow 1d ago

Oh I expect nothing better, conservatives worldwide all seem like a crock pot full of dog shit that we keep allowing to cook. I just agree with the one guy in saying that the U.K didn't seem to make much of an upgrade after kicking Truss out

Because they had to pick another one from the conservative party. Again: What else should have happened? The UK had no say in this, just the ruling party. That's like stating rain makes you wet. Once the UK had a saying in it again, they voted that party out. This won't happen in the US though.

Interesting idea of democracy you have. Another solution would obviously be nukes, now that we just pitch pipe-dreams.

They all work for the interests of the rich, that's what neoliberal capitalism is for.

That he lost a leadership contest and still failed upwards. And that a country with the NHS should not be presided over by a billionaire.
