Is there an amount it could fall to where he isn't the world's richest man anymore?

Nothing Zelensky could have done would change the fact that Trump is Putin's groveling vassal and has been as long as he's been in political life. And Ukraine was one of the reasons why defeating Trump was really important, but of course the 10,000 reasons are now on full display.

The thing that’s so galling is these assholes don’t even know what they’re destroying. They think weather forecasts must happen independent of the government, like there’s big money in telling you whether it’s going to snow in Sioux Falls tomorrow. People barely pay for news as it is.

He also has “10x coder brain”. We don’t need “top notch” air traffic controllers, we need consistently good ones. You can’t hire a really good controller to do the work of 10 mediocre ones. That’s not how that job works.

Air traffic controllers are required by law to retire at 56. It is a high-stress, high-intensity job that requires intense focus. The retirement rules are there to keep us all safe. This fucking guy has no clue what's he's doing.

I, too, am fed up with "heading towards," "approaching," "could see," and "on the precipice" of Constitutional crisis and the end of rule-of-law democracy in the US. America leapt off in Nov. 2024. At best, this is Wile E. Coyote standing in thin air, as if we won't fall if only we don't look down.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

“Unless you cast your ballot so that South African oligarchs could steal your data, your money, your country, and your future, make it known to your elected officials that you wanted something else. And get ready to protest with people with whom you otherwise disagree.”

why does accessing classified info have to do with controlling spending? For that matter, what does accessing any fed worker info or treasury payment systems have to do with shrinking the size of the Gov? You want a smaller Gov? You got Congress & spending bills. Or that’s very unpopular?

Sorry, quick point here: are U.S. Marshals now reporting to DOGE employees?

This is the kind of action we need to make the constitutional crisis visible. Saying no instead of complying makes headlines because it creates conflict—and conflict drives coverage. Even if Musk gets into the classified systems, this pushes his crime spree onto the front pages.

I was one of those warning how bad it would be and how Trump 2 would be much worse than anyone complacently assumed. But even I didn’t have ‘cancel all foreign aid, including to kids with HIV & malaria’ and also ‘let the world’s richest man get access to our private data’ on my 2025 bingo card.

What MAGA fails to understand is we live in a world. Americans travel. They live abroad. They do business with other countries. Trump is making all of us hated and loathed. Relationships require reciprocity. How do you think this will end?

again, they have no authority to offer this and you should NOT accept the offer expecting it to be adhered to

Airlines are businesses that depend on public trust. The chaos of the Trump Administration is deadly to them, figuratively and literally. They absolutely should be out there leading pushback against him.

Albeit a long thread, it is clearly written with indepth knowledge, experience, and heartfelt emotion ... very moving and informative and exactly what I needed. IMO, it is well worth your time.

They wanted you to believe they had an airtight plan. Resistance was futile. They were ready. The first week shows they’re same idiots with the more hubris and incompetence. Stop being afraid and get louder. Don’t believe their bullshit. We aren’t afraid of Ketamine Leon or Temu Nosferatu.

Here we are again. Issuing “policy” via social media. Official press releases referring to his posts. Incompetent staff that can’t even spell the country in question correctly. It’s Colombia.

In 2008, a man tried to kill me while saying “you’re already dead.” He was right. I was dead inside and kinda wanted him to kill me. I knew I had to change my life. We all have to decide for ourselves if we’re already dead and okay with America killing us. What used to work no longer works. Change.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

it’s becoming increasingly clear the goal of the far right is to defund and buy up every source of reliable information until there is no more objective reality to counter them

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

An efficient facism does not require much direct state violence. It merely requires the assurance that private violence aligned with the desires of the regime will go unpunished.
