When I give a flying fudge about what that supposedly makes me, I’ll get back to you.

“ Biden actually wants to prevent tax increases on anyone making less than $400,000, which is the vast majority of taxpayers.”

That’s pretty incredible compared to the mindset here.

Don't forget that left/right in USA are both very much right of our right here.

I’ve watched some highlights from both sides and it’s an utter shit show, there’s no defending either of them. It’s like Nelson Muntz and Grandpa Simpson fighting it out. Absolutely comical.

I only saw the Biden bit where he was talking gibberish, it was a car crash. FFS.

For balance, one of trump's claims was that democrats kill babies. Literally. He thinks that abortions are routinely carried out after birth.

He's a fucking idiot and if you support him you're a fucking idiot and if you voted for him you're a fucking idiot. Hows that for balance.

The biggest mistake I made was thinking Americans are like us because they speak the same language, they're really not. At least half of them are fucking idiots.

Trumps abortions kills babies rhetorics is one of the hardcore Christian Republican things - they consider a fetus no different to a baby so refer to it that way.
Yes it’s incorrect…

There’s that but he also claims that hospitals do abortions up til birth which is just a lie.

As someone who knows and has worked with Americans for a long time now, I’ll have to disagree with you on that. It’s a least three quarters of them.

Part of the reason they're a third richer than us. Work hard, get paid more, keep more of your money.

All well and good whinging about income inequality but if the UK is equivalent in GDP per capita to pretty much the poorest of US states its hard to say that we have anything like a sensible model of taxation, spending and investment.

I think it's very important to look at income inequality in that scenario tbh. I'd be interested to see if the working poor in the US would prefer a system where they got a better min wage and weren't trapped into jobs for healthcare.

I heard that - in a recent investigation spanning the whole of the US population - half of them were found to be below the computed average intelligence level. :? :o :geek:

In other true-but-quite-confusing news, the vast majority of them have more than the average number of arms.

There's near enough zero people with >2 arms. There's a much larger number of people with <2 arms. Therefore the average is going to be a tiny bit less than two and most people are above average :D

@Mito Man Yes - on average, almost all the dicks in America have more than the average number of arms.
