The forum discussion centers around Donald Trump's presidency, highlighting his controversial remarks and actions during a Women's History Month event at the White House on March 26, 2025. Participants express disappointment in Trump's behavior, comparing him unfavorably to past presidents like George W. Bush and Richard Nixon. The conversation critiques Trump's lack of empathy and his perceived incompetence, particularly in foreign relations and health policy. The discussion also touches on the broader implications of his presidency on American trust and political integrity.

I even remember a joke with him when Ronald Reagan was president!
Had to look that one up, but yeah.
I recognized F60.8 from articles and comments from medical professionals writing in NYT and WaPo, notably back in Trump's first term. The undeniable fact that such a visibly compromised person holds major office after demonstrated incompetence first term, speaks reams about our inadequate selection process.

No, I disagree. We have a perfectly good selection process, what we do NOT have is an intelligent electorate. Most people don't want to be bothered by facts and reasoning, but are more amenable to emotional "reasoning" and, lacking good critical thinking skills and/or the time/interest to apply same even if they do have it.

It felt like hearing him yammer on would make the stupid rub off and make one dumber. I turned it off after about fifteen minutes.
That's generally why I can't listen to anything that he says. Between the outright lies and the incoherency, it's enough to put one in a straightjacket from listening to it.
Let me check it. I used Google Translate. It remains by that version, even with a back-and-forth translation, and I don't see anything weird. What is wrong with it? It is a question about intentions.

I boycott McDonald's, too, and mainly MARS.
It is a standard verb in German for questions. It is used not to set a knife on people's breast by asking "will you". A direct question can be understood as being suggestive, the indirect version avoids this unintended bias in the answers.
