God, I am so sick and tired of reading about how "concerned" people who are working in or have worked in this administration are and not reading about any major action taken to stop him or just get him out of here. They either just up and quit and later write books talking about how awful he is or they just speak of their concerns anonymously or whatever. FUCKING DO SOMETHING ALREADY IF YOU'RE THAT WORRIED. Where were all of you during the impeachment hearings? |

I think "sucks" is a charitable descriptor.

I'd also like to declare that Australia also has many things that suck, like our racism, the culture wars, classism, susceptibility to bushfires, lack of AFL teams in Northern Territory and Tasmania, but, it does suck less than the USA, mostly due to our healthcare system, lack of passion for guns and seemingly a much lower percentage of insane people. I can't wrap my head around those fuckwit white lawyers who were pointing killing machines at protestors yesterday.

I never thought my country sucked before Trump. Yes there have always been things about it that sucked.
But now sadly I agree, my country sucks. Still some good people in it, but yeah it sucks. |

Our country does, indeed, suck.
One could also make a thread title Australian Politics I: Your country sucks, too, and U2 won't be playing any rattle and hum songs when they come back to Australia in 20 years, either. |

Let’s not forget about the mortgage relief that was given. People expected to pay the six months up front when its lifted.
Unless that was changed and missed it ? I think something will get passed, but it’ll be last second |

Meanwhile mortgage applications and average home loan amounts are rising. This is drawing into sharp contrast the gulf between people who do and don't have access to property buying.
Still seems to me the most logical and humane thing to do is freeze rent and mortgage payments. I don't understand why that isn't being considered. |

I think that due to some technicality, many people's benefits expire on July 25. Meaning there are less than 4 weeks for Congress and the obstructionist do-nothing Republicans to act.

I suppose there’s some measure of hope in the fact that — despite all the well known, listed problems and the horror show of the past 3.5 years — making fun of the US is still widely understood as punching up.
We may survive. Maybe. |

It’s the same with the stupid argument on how unemployment pays more than their job.
Doesn’t that raise a red flag about their job ??? Why does a actual job pay less than unemployment??? |

But it certainly is bigger and more influential. It’s in all of our interests for the US to function well. It’s vastly preferable to a world dominated by Russia and/or China. Most global problems aren’t going to be addressed without US leadership. What do you take to mean by American exceptionalism? Because I wasn’t thinking about that at all in my comment. |
