I'm currently living in Washington DC. Well, that's not true, DC is small enough, but I'm living on the Dart line that goes to DC, probably at around Booterstown. I dunno if this skews my reality (well, it does; I don't know how much it does let's say).
But I think I'm watching the US President getting in a bit of trouble. And, I'm thinking that this is a fairly major event that's unfolding, no? Like people banged on about Nixon for years, they banged on about what a crim Kissinger is for a fair while, I remember people having a solid moan about Bill Clinton getting some solid moany action. But this whole thing might be bigger than all of this. Special Needs Donald appears to be properly caught at this point, he appears to be absolutely fucked.
I'm a coder gimp, I spend basically all of my time on a terminal, in a government building in Trumpistan. I don't get out much. But is this a big deal in Ireland? (obviously the only thing that matters). The people I work with are loath to even mention it. We don't really talk about it other than very oblique references. Like are people in Ireland going "yah, that gobshite is up to his old gobshite ways. This food needs salt." Is everyone just battle hardened from the chronic shite talking that come out of America, and just ignoring everything now? Or are people thinking "huh, this is kind of a big deal".
The US President (let's be honest here, I'm basically a yank at this point so *my* President) is an out and out crim, who's been caught. Are we living in a historical moment now? Are kids going to be asking us when we're even older than we are now which is pushing it, here, what was going on with Trumpism?
Or is talking shit the new reality. Everything from now on is flavours (flavors!) of shitetalking, keep the elbows in and the head down and press on.
Or are people just thinking Priti Patel is a dickhead and leaving it at that.
