A wake up call for anyone who thinks that opponents of Trump are all good guys.

r/WhitePeopleTwitter is now calling for the public execution of the DOGE software developers

You'd make a crap Scooby Doo and Shaggy, You are believing the bad guy's dodgy alibis.

There was someone who was definitely a genuine California liberal posting a photo of one of the DOGE team and saying he will be “popular in prison”.

With all due respect, William, so what?

There are going to be nutters of all flavours and colours who call for people to be locked up and shot.

I see various Canadian provinces have already stopped stocking US alcohol.

I can see the 'boycott USA' gaining traction over there. You have a President imposing tariffs on you for no reason, threateningly calling ok you to become the 51st state.

USD strengthening too, which makes US exports even less competitive on top of retaliatory tariffs. Great way to improve a trade deficit.

The Democrats just need to hold steady and call out Trump for making things more expensive for ordinary Americans. Because that is the inevitable result on his trade policy.

I suspect boycott USA might be going a bit far in the UK. Boycott Tesla though I can definitely imagine.

"Just Get A Nazi"

Boycott the Swasti-car.

Can I defend Wetherspoon's please?

As one of those unfortunate types (I know, I know, we're a rare breed on this forum) who definitely have to watch their pennies when going to the pub, the 'double breakfast' whereby one can order two whole Wetherspoon's breakfasts and not have to chop off one's own toenails for sale on the black market in recompense pleases me greatly.

Wetherspoons is unfairly maligned, it provides okay meals on a budget for when people are out and about with a good pint of bitter. It saved me a lot when I was at uni on a budget and there's a lot of remainer snobbishness about it since Brexit.

Yes, Spoons is almost never worse than adequate, usually in the top half of quality beer in any given town, and excellent value for money.
In Terry Pratchett's Colour of Magic, he discusses the efforts pubs went to in the80s to attract custom - music, refurbs, entertainment, themes - and
wonders that no-one yet appears to have considered sellinggood quality beer cheaply. A few years later, Spoons came along doing exactly that. And it works.
