But do they?
I mean in general. Thanks to trump and AI any incontrovertible proof can now be dismissed as fake news or AI generated fakes.

Public spat with pope.

Posts AI image of self as Jesus.

Claims image is actually something else entirely. Don’t believe what you can see with your own eyes. Again.

Just another normal day in teh White House.

Insane isn’t it. He actually states it’s “fake news” and he thought he was depicting himself as a doctor. He's not even ashamed.

Surely this should 100% undermine his use of the term “fake news” to every one of his followers?!! or not.

It’s good though because the brainwashed devout Christian followers he has now think he’s a cvnt

nope - the brainwashed devout Christian followers now think he should be Pope

Trump - the only man who can save the Church...

I still don't understand why the Americans aren't rioting in the street at this point. If crazy gas prices and mocking the church isn't pushing them over the edge....what will? Aren't they both sacrilegious?

It's fine anyway, only 2.5 years more to go

It's the mid-terms in November. If the Democrats take control of the Senate and the House, he'll be pretty much neutered - not to mention the incredible meltdown he'll have will be a joy to behold!

...and the reason they're not rioting in the streets is because that would cause the (literal) fascists in charge (not Trump - he's just a puppet) to use the insurrection act to cancel elections.

You'll notice there have been a few warehouses burning down lately though.....people are losing patience.

That and the very real possibility of getting shot dead in the street for treason or some such horseshite

We're paying almost double what the Americans pay at the pumps. Why aren't we rioting?

They'll work out the charges later, at the moment.

Insurrection act means they don't really even have to bother.

Yep, we should be shouting at Starmer to stop attacking Iran… oh.

Their gas prices have sharply increased directly because their current elected leader has just chosen a path that increases them.

Ours have increased recently because of their leaders decisions too, otherwise, they’ve been pretty stable for the last decade.

our chance to riot has long passed.

Data suggest otherwise Rich - Average price of £1.00 / l back in 2016,

it dipped to £1 for a bit, but your graph clearly shows it has been up and down from £1 to £1.40 for the last 10 or more years (if i’d said 14 years, you’d be telling me it was £1.40).

Also, £1 in 2016 is the equivalent of £1.39 with the average inflation of the last 10 years.

In general our 'energy' is vastly overpriced, and it keeps getting more so. The war will affect us the most out of the G20 economies in terms of inflation. Supply chain disruption generally hits the UK harder. Why is this? This delta isn't a Trump related issue.

Because we are a net importer of energy? Should we drill baby drill?
