I know people that like Trump in the UK and the thing I’ve realised is people don’t check anything, if orange man says something they believe it.

When I’ve been shitting on Trump my friend said yeah but he’s a good business man though and I’m like no he isn’t, he started life on easy mode and has messed that up several times. Hell man can’t even profit from a casino.

Sadly though it doesn’t matter if people are willing to believe a 5 second sound bite and it takes 5 minutes and some knowledge to debunk that claim then it’s futile as they’ll just put out more sound bites.

I find it ironic that in a world with a wealth of information at our finger tips people just don’t care enough to check. I’m not a smart man, but I was gifted with the power of curiosity and a willingness to look up stuff and find the truth. People are just ignorant on the whole and only care about surface level stuff.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
