No new president will successfully patch this over. It will take decades.
It's not Trump. It's the US voters who have proven themselves unreliable partners in international affairs.

As decentralized money, it's great
It's not money. It's not accepted as money anywhere that matters.
It's a market speculation vehicle built on the fucking aether, that you can currently sell easily enough in small quanties in order to get some actual currency that retailers will accept.
But it sure as fuck ain't money. It's just a bunch or techno-utopians huffing farts.
There are also just a lot of personalization options that just aren't there, particularly for power-lite users, because Linix power users use the terminal for everything.
Like, heaven forbid you want a full featured, advanced file manager or something, but aren't interested in learning bash scripting...
the income of wealthy individuals is not used purely for the fulfilment of their needs and wishes
You need to understand wealth as power, and the wishes of the wealthy being to exercise that power over others.
Their role in "allocating resources in society" is controlling the resources of society. But what is "rule" if not "control of the resources of society"? What is democracy if the rich have all of the power over society.
It's a damn lie, is what it is.
Taxation is a demand by the demos to control the resources of society. That is, it is a demand for democracy.
Which means the rich can allocate themselves into a fucking hole, stuff their heads up their own asses, and suffocate.
I currently miss a point system to motivate me that shows people via my profile how much I could help by posting/commenting.
Wut?
Are you expecting, like, a bidding war or something?
Mars' atmosphere has the same transparency window to visible light as Earth's. The major difference between there and here is the amount of dust suspended in the air, which is highly variable and dependent on latitude and season. On average, it actually blocks more visible light than the dust and water in Earth's atmosphere, but the effect is also independent of wavelength, at least in the visible spectrum.
So the sky might actually be a little dimmer than you'd see in dry, dark conditions on Earth.
Eh. Notice how all the buildings are long and narrow? It's because it's a trailer park. So, you know, it's tiny. The direcions are gonna be "once ya get to the park, b'y, hangs a left. It's the blue one."
That is, at best, a longer term exposure of the sky than the eye will ever manage.
The night sky in Mars isn't going to look significantly different from a dark sky on Earth. Get out to a dark sky and that'll give you everything you'd get out of the Martian sky, except you'll pitentially be able to see Mars up above rather than the Earth.
The court of public opinion just sees fascism as "Jews in ovens", so maybe that court shouldn't be considered.
If yiu break down the 14 points in Ur-Fascism, you can map most of them onto the United States on a good day. Possibly all of them if you dig into the sociology of the country. This really points to the US as just being a fascist state, and it being a fascist country culturally.
America is what fascism looks like when it's not at ear, and when it doesn't have a dictator at its head. That's why the moment someone who fancies themselves a dictator comes to power, the whole place is recognizably fascist.
Yup. And I am hyper independent in many things.
Cars are a notable exception. I hate getting dirty.
Worked very well for Stephen Harper. He told them he wouldn't take questions from them, and then they covered his press releases with vigour.
Ah, so what you mean is that you create an environment that is hostile towards people with sensory sensitivities or issues, while also standing menacingly over everyone's shoulders all day.
Hard pass.
