So Trump makes government announcement on his own private platform. In the meantime, Americans are forced to pay to maintain hundreds of federal governmental websites managed by a thousand of employees which Conald doesn't use despite they were designed to be used this way. He uses his fake "Truth" Social to promote the private junk.

This is what America should focus on: "The U.S. national debt is around 124% of its GDP, while Russia's is around 19.9%."

It's not sustainable and it's worrying that Trump doesn't care about US debt. Other nations can see that too and maybe that's why they ignore all these threats.

That's fine; we all should've known it would happen, ie. that they have something very incriminating on him and vice versa. The point is, such a compromised person should have never become a president. People who're still going to attend his rallies and publicly support him are probably the stupidest human kind, loosely quoting George Carlin.

On the other hand, the whole US political system is broken and it's probably technically impossible for America to have an uncompromised president. That's why, maybe just maybe, a 3rd party would change that, but not holding my breath.

"Trump threatens 50% tariffs on Brazil if it doesn't stop the Bolsonaro 'witch hunt' trial."

This is absurd. What's next - imposing 10% extra tariffs on Poland just because they elected a bold prime minister? His actions make America look like a laughingstock.

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 23 [601]

It's a good answer and defies Trump's own claims that he's a "peacemaker." Bombing Iran, now fully involved in Ukraine, also in Syria, Yemen, Libya, Afghanistan. Dementia? There's enough BS going on to maybe conclude he is no better than his predecessors.

Fully agreed, but are you able to justify Conald's stupidity? Would there be anything more stupid he could do in relation to the war?

USA, Canada / Are Polish male students more physically confrontational compared to Canadian male students? [9]

Where I come from, in a Polish middle school I've often watched boys from "poor" families fighting other boys, and believe me - they were physically stronger than the ones from well-off families. Probably less sugar and garbage food plus more physical work made them stronger and more resilient. Besides, I don't think the OP mentions the well-being of the families, but I could be wrong.

USA, Canada / Are Polish male students more physically confrontational compared to Canadian male students? [9]

We probably have more testosterone than other nations; it could come from our chivalrous genes ;) But "boys will be boys" is losing its appeal it seems.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1041]

You cannot compare Poland to the US. Poland is a much different country. People / neighbors know each other and watch their neighborhoods. While in the US a gun may be necessary to have for home protection, in Poland it's not a must. With today's technology, a criminal is very likely to get caught. Cameras are everywhere. It's not 1980-ties any more.

This is how the conman's billionaire cohorts are dismantling the "great American job creation" propaganda:


If you have any doubts: "Yes, H-1B visa workers are included in the U.S. employment numbers."

So large corporations can lay off thousands of American workers and replace them with foreigners, while the unemployment numbers stay about the same. Who is not surprised?

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 16 [340]

While Trump is in power, I've been watching the conservative / right-wing online media. 60-70% of them turned out to be a corrupted propaganda, ie. they blindly repeat and praise what the White House or Trump is posting, most of it is either a straight lie or a misleading fact.

So out of maybe 10 websites, only 2-3 have stayed impartial and see through the BS. Good to know not to waste time. For example, Breitbart or The Gateway Pundit have totally failed a thinking person and turned into a Trump propaganda machine.

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 16 [340]

With some I agree, but with others like below I don't:


So when a transgender woman or a religious freak is elected as US president, all permanent US residents should start supporting the LGBTQ movement or the freak's religion? This idea comes directly from North Korea.


The most crimes in the US are committed by US-born citizens (by far), followed by illegal immigrants, and legal immigrants. Are you suggesting that cities like Detroit, St. Louis, Oakland, or Baltimore should be swept away because they are NEVER going to be safe, even if zero immigrants live there? The fact that legal immigrants commit the least crimes invalidates your negative stance on immigration in general. A city where only legal immigrants live would be the safest city in the US.

If you were true to yourself, you'd call for de-naturalizing of US-born citizens who violate the US law, unless you think that crimes committed by US-born Americans are OK, as opposed to crimes committed by immigrants.

So, how does it benefit the company owner or the American people? Americans are forced to pay the tariffs, not the Chinese. No matter what, they will be forced to pay more, so this is a good deal for them? Even if the scam "objective" is reached, you will still have to pay much more than today.


American business owners who will have to raise prices for the American consumer. EVEN IF they start producing at home, the prices will have to go up at least the same amount the Trump tariffs are, ie. 25%. Is it good in your opinion (normally I'd call a person who thinks this way stupid, but let's give you a benefit of a doubt).

Some useful information for the gullible about who pays the Trump tariffs. Refer to this any time you watch the propaganda about the tariff "success."

MAGA fools think Trump works for them. How is so?

1. The new "budget" (which is the final nail to the death by debt) arranges a cheap sale of the federal land to technocrats for "AI centers." Why don't they allow farmers or regular people to buy the same land for cheap?

2. Trump works for the technocrats to sell TikTok to one of his billionaire buddies. An acting US president actively seeks a buyer for a private company, really? What's his cut - 20% for the fat guy?

3. Trump stops all negotiations with Canada over them wanting to tax his technocrat friends 5% for digital services. He's never bothered to do the same for any other industry which have been negatively affected by counter tariffs.

His first term was working for the Big Pharma (he called himself the "father" of the Covid vaccines). This term, he's in the pockets of the Big Tech and the Military Complex.

The conman has never truly helped the regular American people. Name any new prominent MAGA supporter that isn't a leftist, warmonger, technocrat, or a RINO - there are many genuine ones who stopped supporting him. Unless you are the top 5% rich, you must hate yourself and your family for supporting his policies and desire to kill the dollar.

Ask yourself - why do you still support Trump? Would you support your spouse who pawns your house, your car, and household items to buy more booze? That's exactly what Trump is doing to America as he couldn't care less about the consequences of his debt slavery creation.

Guys, I'm not here to offend anyone as I've been in the MAGA club myself. However, we ride on the same boat. Musk is right - the only hope is a 3rd national party that will represent us, not the pigs.

As an atheist, I'd have no problem killing anything or anyone that bothers me or someone I "love."

But then, it can get problematic and stressful when I encounter another dedicated atheist who happens to hate my looks or is jealous of my loved ones because I could be an easy killing target for him. Building a true atheistic society is like trying to build the law & order in a jungle - good luck with that.

I don't respect fake Christians or fake atheists, either. Stay true to yourself and that builds respect indeed. I only hope you reverse your current stance, but it's a work in progress ;)

As a true atheist father, my sentence would be to kill them because life or death have no value to me.

Off-Topic / What is a woman? [313]


As a true atheist, I'd solely rely on the human laws, ie. be fine with whatever sentence they decide. If it happened in a Muslim country, the perpetrators would likely get away with it and I'd accept that too.

"The age of sexual consent in Slovakia is 15 years old. A sexual act with a person under this age is considered rape. The sentence for rape in Slovakia can range from 5 to 25 years imprisonment, depending on the specific circumstances and aggravating factors."

There you have it, it's the law in Slovakia. If you'd like to own my opinion as a Christian, I'd also go for a maximum of 25 years, depending on circumstances, but not for a death penalty.

However, if you want my opinion as a non-fake atheist, I wouldn't really care about their jail sentence. I'd be fine with them getting away with it because, assuming they are true atheists, it's up to them to decide what's right or wrong. I'm really surprised why you get upset with such events.

Off-Topic / What is a woman? [313]

For an atheist, there are no moral absolutes. Maybe the Slovak guys were atheists and thus follow their own moral laws that allow them to rape?

Off-Topic / Energy-free rail from North to South? [35]

To supplement my post above, I asked: "What was the computing power of the WHOLE WORLD in 1972? Was it greater than today's iPhone?" The answer is below. So they traveled to the moon (about 220K miles distance from the Earth) and BACK, without any GPS and navigation systems, using a calculator we used back in the 1990ties. So many people get duped by this and other kind of propaganda, especially the confederate MAGA morons.

He is the mammon's b!tch. He's trying to run the country as his own golf resort, on tax payers money. It was the same story with Biden, but not on such a big scale as it is now.

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 16 [340]

Trump is attacking the fed for not lowering the rates. He wants to lower the rates to put America in debt even more. The rates should go higher, not lower, especially during high inflation. His vision for America = bankruptcy. I'm glad more and more MAGA people realize that Dyzma is there to enrich himself, not the people.

Life / Why are so many Polish People rude on the internet? [147]

Maybe it's possible to see who Liked a comment. Then, you may be able to figure out what's going on (if the comments are liked / posted by the same usernames, it would suggest a trolling pattern). Also, think about the reason why these comments appear.

In the US, there was a time (still is) to try to blame the white folks on everything. Remember the viral racism crime hoax: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jussie_Smollett_hate_crime_hoax and others. If a powerful group wants to make a statement, they can do it this way. Maybe some activist / political group wants to portray Poles as stupid and hateful immigrants to move their agenda. Same happens today in the US as far as "illegal immigrants" are concerned.

Life / Why are so many Polish People rude on the internet? [147]

Most likely, they took real names from Facebook and Linkedin. Or just created a set of usernames like: perplexity.ai/search/create-20-random-polish-inspir-NXD_t32vST.5AfpkGOdfZw#0

I heard about scammers stealing names from LinkedIn profiles and posing as these persons when applying for jobs etc. But, again, the comments could be real, but to me unlikely considering what I posted above.

Life / Why are so many Polish People rude on the internet? [147]

I'd be careful about who actually posted it. The usernames sound like a real Polish First_ + Last Name + a number. Only a moron would publish their real name when posting insults. My best guess is these are bots posing as Polish people. They could still be real persons, but it would be weird considering the real names. I often receive spam from Africa with similar usernames.

Real Estate / Seeking Information on Property Purchase in Bieździedza (Jasło County) [2]

It can be checked. The best option is to hire a real estate agent in Poland who will do search for you. It may be possible to do it on your own, but it would require you to have all the addresses of the properties, maybe their tax ID at least.
