Mary had a sacrificial lamb,
His fleece was covered in Covid,
But everywhere that Mary went
The virus must have hid.
It followed her to Durham one day
Which was against her husband's rules;
It made for an angry Bank Holiday,
As they treated us like fools.
The Kremlin implies Putin isn't going to congratulate Trump.
Dmitry Peskov, Putin's spokesman, says Putin was open for dialogue but the US "currently has the opposite position" and is an "unfriendly country that is directly and indirectly involved in a war against Russia."
@sunny_hundal Is it, though? It is like suggesting that the narcissism and selfishness that has been ingrained in the US as a result of the "American Dream" would change if people had an extra few thousand dollars. I thought that 5 years ago, not now.
@WritesBright I believed this before, but not now. Lots of poor people adore Trump, irrelevant of the financial situation. The American Dream is about individualism and ultimately has created narcissism aplenty in the US. And the deliberate structure of the US makes radical policies impossible
@JLCauvin As an outsider, this is what plenty in other countries are thinking. The US now has a majority of angry, hate-filled, narcissistic, gullible people. The criticism of Biden's age, cognitive issues, and "crimes" are laughable. Your country can no longer be taken seriously.
If Trump wins, there will be efforts to blame Russian interference or the Harris campaign or Biden, etc. That's all fair. But we need to be clear eyed that a huge swath of America likes what Trump is selling. Transphobia. Mass deportation. That's what he ran on. And here we are.
@ImIncorrigible When you spend a century making the public believe in a "dream," which is all about individualism and selfishness, it drives narcissism and self-centered actions. Voting for Trump for so many is just because they hate the idea of taxes & hate a society that tries to help others.
America is no longer a serious country. The superpower that it has been in the past is no longer the case. The reasons of "he's too old, he's got dementia, he's a crook" to note vote for Biden are now laughable & in reality the US has a huge number of self-centered narcissists

Sidebar but this is an interesting post. I'm guessing this is some sort of guardrail within @OpenAI kicking in and preventing the bot from endorsing Musk's election fraud nonsense.
I was a senior, Senate-confirmed appointee in the Trump administration. I saw it from the inside. It was a chaotic disaster. I am also a lifelong conservative, a former Republican nominee for Congress, and a former White House Counsel.

@thetimes I suppose it was only a matter of time before the current state of the economy was blamed on the Labour government by Tory lovers. I mean it is only fair, they've been in power for *checks calendar* 3 months in the past 14 and a half years.
