Democrats gain ground with AAPI adults as trust in Republicans fades, AP-NORC/AAPI Data poll finds

So you're saying that after 1 and a half presidential terms, of an openly white supremacist president, who tried to murder congress, who hung out with a sex trafficker and raped women, then started a war to distract from all that, and ruined the economy, that now they are finally willing to concede that maybe he doesn't represent their best interests?

I'm shocked!!!!

My Study of Dystopian Fiction Never Prepared Me for Reality Here in Gaza

I was really into prepping for years as a hobby.

Then I found myself in the actual shit hit the fan situation in 2011 with the super tornado outbreak.

No amount of reading or prep can prepare you for the reality. Weeks without power. Roads blocked with fallen trees. Gunfire every night. All on top of having wave after wave after wave of tornadoes pass over, and by my house.

I had all the stuff. I was ready. But when I went to assemble the solar panel, batteries, inverters, and charge controllers I had such PTSD that I kept frying components and hooking stuff up wrong. Trauma really messes with your mind.

Now a days you can buy a pre assembled one from jackery or such. But damn, trauma makes you stupid.

Russia Might Soon Run Out of Money for the Ukraine War

Bull. They have been laundering oil through India for a while. And while that loophole may close, every other asian country is waiting in line to be the supplier of refined product to Europe using Russian oil. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/indian-refiners-review-russian-oil-contracts-after-us-sanctions-source-says-2025-10-23/

Also, I know a Russian immigrant who regularly travels back there to visit her family. She flies through turkey with a suitcase full of money and western goods without any problems. Money is flowing into Russian like a river.

Nearly half a million Russians killed in Ukraine war, UK spy chief says

Such a shame. I was hoping it would be more.

Edit: A little bit of context. I have a friend who is Russian and every year travels back there for a couple of week to see to her 80 year old mothers needs.

The Russians are not some poor oppressed people who were dragged to war against their wishes. They are overwhelming in support of Putin and everything he has done. (up to now at least). They are the Russian equivalent of maga. They drank the koolaid and only now when things are going bad do they regret it. If the war turns back in their favor with will be out cheering in the streets. I have zero pity for these people.

Why is America so surprised when they elected Trump? They bitched and moans how all politicians are liars, cheats, money hungry and so on. So now they got exactly that and they are surprised?

Your are asking two separate questions.

Question one: Was America surprised when he was re elected?

Yes, because the first time was a shit show of horror, and at least half the country couldn't believe the other half wanted that to happen again, regardless of how bad a candidate Kamala was.

Question two: Are all politicians liars and cheat?

Yes, but Trump is several orders of magnitude worse than all the others combined. Openly soliciting bribes and publicly accepting and wallowing in them. All while using the constitution to wipe his ass and just laugh.

It really come down to scale, all the shit the Clintons and bushes and even Nixon have done just dont hold a candle to the lawless murder and greed trump is engaged in. Nothing like this has occurred before in the modern era. And remember, I'm including the illegal secret war Nixon created.

'Break fast and move things'

I disagree. The model trump is following is closer to the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

The rich were allowed to keep their wealth when the National Socialist German Workers' Party took control.

Under communism they would have been stripped of it.

Also, like maga they were know for their large rallies, where their 'leader' or 'guide' would give rousing speeches about his struggle against Jews, communism/Marxism, and the Treaty of Versailles

While trump describes his struggle against the deep state, globalists, communists, and Marxists.
