Change for the better is though. And we’ll see how much of his promises in the inaugural address is done. Which by the way was excellent.Change for the worse isn't cause for optimism.
I knew the opposite of optimism is pessimism; and thought we were reaching Bizarro World territory. I then learned there is such a thing as negative optimism. " A negative optimist is someone who is optimistic about the potential upside of an opportunity, but also realistic about the risks and challenges involved".The alternative is to embrace change. But yeah, the royal you is more than welcome to be negative and/or bury your head in the sand - won’t affect my optimism.
Yes, renaming the Gulf of Mexico and invading the Panama Canal is surely change for the better. What a wonderful course we're now on.Change for the better is though. And we’ll see how much of his promises in the inaugural address is done. Which by the way was excellent.

That’s all you got from the inaugural address?Yes, renaming the Gulf of Mexico and invading the Panama Canal is surely change for the better. What a wonderful course we're now on.
In Bizarro World...I gave you direct quotes, I don't know what to say anymore. Think that's a terrible way to interpret and honour his spirit. It's taking a huge dump on his grave.
It had nothing to give, just more empty ramblings.That’s all you got from the inaugural address?
Ok, just opinions. The American people made their choice. And I for one am cautiously optimistic about the next few years.It had nothing to give, just more empty ramblings.
We've already seen Trump's last four years and there's zero reason to be optimistic. We know exactly what to expect.Ok, just opinions. The American people made their choice. And I for one am cautiously optimistic about the next few years.

He's back just in time for him and his fans to say bird flu is all a hoax.People are very quick to forget that Covid kicked off in the US under his watch. But what's the worst that can happen, right?
Not sure who the “we” are. Because I’m not including myself in that universe. As I said I’m cautiously optimistic that my world under this administration will be better in 2029. YMMV.We've already seen Trump's last four years and there's zero reason to be optimistic. We know exactly what to expect.
As an American, your thoughts & opinions on my country and its leadership mean jack.
It’s so you won’t be paying 2X for Apple devices when trump imposes his 100% tariff on products manufactured in China.Nice gesture, but it still doesn't change the fact that Tim donated a million to a fascist

I don't think you understand equal opportunity law or practice. I suppose if nothing else MLK Day reminds us there is unfinished work to be done.From King's 1963 speech: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by their character."

A total and utter sabotage?We've already seen Trump's last four years and there's zero reason to be optimistic. We know exactly what to expect.
Then I include myself. My opinion is that “we” will be better off in January 2029 than in January 2025. This is a general statement and each of our metrics for humanity will be different. YMMV.“We” are the residents of the world.
"Cause we are the champions... of the world".“We” are the residents of the world.
"No time for losers, cause we are... ...of the world.""We are the champions... of the world".
