Consumers should see tariffs not as a punishment for our competitors,but as a shitty deal for our suppliers.SE Asia is not our competitor in the t-shirt industry;they are our supplier.Trump unilaterally just made it more expensive for us to get our supply of t-shirts...which no one I know asked for.
Have some more soma, MAGA: once you've got nothing you've got nothing to lose. Some songwriter in what used to be called America wrote a song and said that.
America's post apocalyptic wasteland would be so unfun There are too many guns that we couldn't have any cool makeshift melee weapons or madmax races. Just end up popped each other without getting off a well flushed out monologue.
The family that lost their kid to measles essentially said something like that about their own child thinking she's in a better place than living the turmoil around here, cause vaccines are sooooo evil. Muh freedom!
Monstrously ignorant evil abounds as mundane as any other day.
America clearly has a metric fuck-ton of baggage, skeletons in it's closet, and reparations to make... but it was a lot more figuratively "free" before the orange shit-gibbon bought the election and started gutting the constitution and common decency. We were on a better path, and now we are not.
The “Orange shit-gibbon”’s policies are an intentional and direct result of the constitution of the United States and its writers. America doesn’t just have “skeletons in its closet”, America itself, ALL of America and its history, is the skeleton.
You're not wrong, but the Constitution was also built to be expanded, which is why we have amendments. It's also the reason why the American people have been able to use the same system to pass civil/voting rights acts in the 20th and 21st century causing vast socio-economic changes for the better.
Not trying to one up anyone, but we in the UK have hundreds of museums full of cupboards, in turn, full of skeletons. So on and so on, none of our countries is innocent, it's just your turn.
The 13th amendment of the constitution specifically carves out an exemption that allows the legal slavery of people convicted of any crime. The constitution of America is not a monument to freedom, it stands in opposition of freedom.
Absolutely, but what does the 14th and 15th do? Amendments need to be corrected as well. I'm not saying the system is perfect (far from it), but we define how it works through litigation, activism and changing minds.
Thats the only gripe i had about the Biden admin , they were also AIPAC bribed.
But that should NOT have been a reason to not vote or vote Rump.
But there you are.
In 2024, the American consumer could detect a product's price change as little as 1%. In 2025, a change as much as 25% goes undetected. We sent a team out to a Proud Boys meeting in Iowa to learn why Americans are more chill and relaxed these days.
Enlightened people expose his stupidity, disagree with his morals and ethics, (spoiler alert, he has none), object to his white supermajority BS, his comforting the enemy, selling arms to just anyone with his back door “deals”, his pettiness and need for revenge at all costs, and continuous chaos.
"Son, this was all worth it to see ICE rounding up brown people. Now, let's go over how to ask for spare change in Russian again. That $40 can of Nat Daddy isn't gonna buy itself."
I’m sitting here still blown away that this government is arguing in court that they can’t do anything about innocent people they sent to a concentration camp in El Salvador…
Because they dropped them off in El Salvador and can’t do anything about it now
If they try, it means they were wrong and that is unforgivable in Trump world. It would be like admitting you used Signal every single day for secret strategy sessions.
They need to be removed from government and the whole group needs to be brought back to the US.
We really need to let Trump and the GOP take the win on this one. Fuck 'em. Let the economy absolutely implode and hope we can put MAGA in the rearview mirror for good in 2028.
Seniors who have the majority of their retirement in investment accounts are going to be hit hard whether Democrat or Republican. Add in the insecurity about our Social Security which we EARNED and pay taxes on and the golden years are going to pretty much suck for an 88 and 95 yr old couple.
You're not wrong, I just don't see how we're going to get out of this disaster. Trump/Musk have no intention of ever stepping down or participating in a free and fair election... And barring national catastrophy, America will sit back and let them.
I mean an attempt to invade Canada or any of the other ways a civil war might start could conceivably lead to some parts of the United States looking like that too.
Democrats: did a bunch of pro-worker stuff but communicated it badly because Biden is too old
Republicans: throwing dissidents into a foreign gulag, threatening to invade neighbors, and giving a billionaire total control over key government functions
When used as a pejorative 'woke' then is made to mean "WOKE=Uppity Anybodies". "How dare those "WOKE=Uppity Anybodies" exist let alone be represented in public?!"
Can't go wrong with Cormac McCarthy's books. Brutal and bloody but the social commentary hidden in the pages makes his writing art more than literature.
We are taught that cruelty bonds us together against a readily available enemy, strong and fearful enough to be angry at but weak enough to embarrass and defeat, forever.
No, not at all. I was saying that these right wing types will convince themselves its funny because they laugh at the disadvantaged such as people being arrested by ICE.
No, no, silly - we'll all be keeping chickens and planting Victory gardens in our back yards! And wearing flour sack pinafores! And picking apart our shirts for diapers and baby clothes . . .
Son, you have to understand, the girl that was born as a boy hit the volleyball really hard into the blond girl's face. And her dad owned 15 car dealerships.
For half of what the market just lost all student loans could have been forgiven. That would have unleashed a massive economic boom as people emerge from debt.
People with student loans are not the ones who are low cost labor anyways. These are higher paying jobs(for the most part). Exploitation is more for undocumented and non college educated
(I know what people want it to mean, and use it for.) But I prefer to not use words that's easily confused, twisted, spun to sound/mean something else unintended.
MAGA: It was this or a Negro. A female half Negro / half Indian. We needed a white male that would push us back to the 1870's. And never EVER forget: Hillary Clinton had emails on a server somewhere.
Cormac McCarthy is one of my favorite American authors. His prose & way he can weave a story is unparalleled. Most of his books use the borderlands of Texas/Mexico as a vast and haunting backdrop for the actors and violence that occurs. The Road set in a dystopian future hellscape of a dying planet.
ONLY A MINDLESS HEARTLESS DISHONEST FOOL IS STILL A REPUBLICAN!
AND HEY, WHY CAN'T EVERY AMERICAN VOTE FROM THEIR CELL PHONE,
NO MATTER WHERE THE FUCK THEY ARE?
49% of voters decided that they should destroy The United States, everything we have, and everything we stand for, because they got tired of seeing #BlackGirlMagic on social media.
A lot of them thought they were punishing the Dems for Gaza. The Dems would then, after winning the next election, do something about it. Their focus was overseas, and they didn't even give one thought to us.
a lot of people wanted to be 'anti-woke' without economic drawbacks but this admin is DETERMINED to prove that bigotry and economic turmoil go hand in hand so... many people (who aren't unhinged ultra-maga) will probably be like 'please bring back woke if it means i get to have cheap groceries!!'
The people that wanted to be "anti-woke" are bigoted racists and misogynists who were too stupid to understand the fact that Trump's first economy sucked absolute balls.
don't get me wrong, this is astronomically bad, a lot of people will struggle... BUT! it would be so much more difficult to fight republicans if they delivered a good economy and bigotry at the same time. since they're nuking the economy, it's gonna be much easier to get people to turn against them.
If only Charlie kirk could own them on every campus at once. (Also him meeting a Palestinian that doesn't fit his stereotype, funniest **** since pickle Rick.
Somewhere between The Road and Mad Max is where the wet dreams of the ‘alt’-right lives. They’ve been aching for it for years, fantasizing that they are the HERO of their delusion. (Same way they’re all ‘ALPHA’s) Like THEY’LL be the ones to survive and not die within 5 days without a MTN DEW.
You see there were Nazis in the government that loved to sieg heil at rallies and they cared a lot about stopping antisemitism at college campuses by silencing and firing all of the anti-war Jewish students and professors. They called it efficiency doggie do do

And their constituents buy it.
Is it even conceivable that millions of Americans don’t have Google? Just…how?
*also see sudden love for Tesla
I will feel bad for the dumbfucks, but not too terribly bad.
The MAGA dream.
Will they pick an actor to play Trump or will they have to lean on an AI character because nobody could be as good to play buffoon Trump
- some asshole
Monstrously ignorant evil abounds as mundane as any other day.
feral, even
But that should NOT have been a reason to not vote or vote Rump.
But there you are.
LMFAO at the idiots who "both sides" us into this mess.
🐀 <- dinner
Because they dropped them off in El Salvador and can’t do anything about it now
Almost like it was always the plan…
They need to be removed from government and the whole group needs to be brought back to the US.
Vigo was Shakespearean in that!
That's actually a good grift...
Why do we have to “check in with the team” before we can comment? Before we can say true things?
This discourse is so fucked, and I’ll be honest, the Left is more fucked than the Right, right now. And that’s not say much.
Republicans: throwing dissidents into a foreign gulag, threatening to invade neighbors, and giving a billionaire total control over key government functions
Enlightened centrists: both sides though
the tsar smiles and asks for a coffee..
What a horrifying generation. Grown men bought up to think the highest form of expression and comedy are memes and schadenfreude.
Woke: I woke up. A passive word that doesn't mean much without the 'up' part.
Woke to me is like, stumbling into the kitchen, but not yet enjoying that cup of coffee, and getting a grip on reality.
Words matter.
By the way, if you’ve never read THE ROAD, please do so !!!
AND HEY, WHY CAN'T EVERY AMERICAN VOTE FROM THEIR CELL PHONE,
NO MATTER WHERE THE FUCK THEY ARE?
for the left and the right, apparently.
well done fucktards. well done.
Hard times make smart people.
Smart people make easy times.
Easy times make dumb people.
Circle of life
Have you seen anyone stand up and explain what Woke means? That it means being empathetic, kind, aware of other peoples' sensitivities, etc?
Fail
