Don’t forget trolling Canada!

That is the mission. I wish people would adjust their brains to realize that. It's the only way we can stop it.

Talk to the dude. I use alt text; I cannot control whether other people use it.

I am aware. I talk to him daily and mentioned in the image that he ignores it. This is an attempt to organize help for making the site less hostile to disabled people and there is no need to pretend anyone is making extreme claims about what you control

But I messaged him suggesting it, FWIW.

With these guys, defaulting on treasuries is not off the table.

Because he's received and is executing Putin's matching orders via Orbán to wreck the West. Manchurian President?

I mean, nuking the Vatican isn't the worst idea I ever heard...

He IS on an active mission to destroy the U.S. at Putin’s behest.

I think this administration is tightly controlled by a very small group - less than 100 trusted people - who have no idea what they're doing, or the stakes. Trump couldn't explain a bond yield if you put a gun in his face.

Are cooked for like a decade or are we cooked for a century?

normative.bsky.social•8 days ago

At least a decade. Nothing much takes a century. Forty years after WWII, Germany and Japan were doing pretty well.

This is why it was mental to put import taxes on every country on the planet instead of just a select few - the entire world now has a reason to trade with China instead of us because we chose to tax them.

Trump has greatly incentivized a post-American world order, making it cheaper for everyone else to do business with our rivals instead of us.

We are going down—in every possible way we CAN go down short of war.

Trump needs distractions and chaos. His next 3 ring circus act is to get Big Balls and his minions to skew voting machines.
Trump needs GOP re-elected. He knows many will lose since voters out flank Elon’s Million $ Bribes.

I remain fascinated by watching to see how thoroughly he can destroy the US economy before any Republican does anything. So far, they’re really holding out.
