"oh no, this'll make the right wing mad!" Buddy they get into a frothing rage over like, cereal mascots and cartoon characters and the mere existence of gay people and what oil a French fry is cooked in and women knowing how to read, etc. They'll get mad anyway, no matter what. Tell em to fuck off

Remember, the Trump Adminstration made it a humanitarian priority to bring back Andrew Tate from Romania.

lol. The Dow is down 5,000 points over the last six weeks and we have nothing to show for it, save for a lot of pissed off allies and broken trust. The Art of The Deal!

So many hundreds of thousands of words of ink, so many countless hours wasted, explaining how this man was secretly savvy, and it turns out he’s just dumb as a rock, clueless about basic economics, and driven by a malicious paranoia that conniving foreigners are ripping us off

There's a very weird selective credentialism among crackpots that you also saw during the pandemic. "Navarro must be right on trade, he has a Ph.D. from Harvard!" Ok, but ... 99% of people with economics Ph.D.s agree tariffs are a terrible idea. "Those don't count." www.axios.com/2025/04/05/m...

For evidence of the grift, watch Trump's post-tariff trade negotiations with Vietnam, where the Trump Org is looking to expedite paperwork to build luxury hotels & golf resorts, & where Musk's Starlink is seeking to introduce its satellite/internet service. Benefits working Americans... my foot

Really believing that MAGA is attempting to do Jonestown on a nationwide basis. Its a suicide cult intended on taking the rest of us with it.

Another one for the “economic concerns as a mask for cultural concerns” file. This delusion that manufacturing jobs will come roaring back if we cast the right policy spell isn’t really about that being a desirable economic goal, but about romanticizing Manly Work.

In Trump's first term, he scrapped the TPP trade pact among 12 Pacific Rim countries that excluded China, promising to get "a better deal" with each of the countries in bilateral negations. He got none. Literally zero. A few years later, China applied to join TPP. The members are considering it.

A big reason why we’re here is Trump has long spoken like he honestly believes trade deficits are some sort of fee America pays and should retaliate against and most people in the media were like “he can’t actually mean that, that’s way too stupid” so they covered him like he meant something else.

this is a good post and "decadence" is a good way to think about a lot of things. true decadence is, eg, thinking you could let an insurrection go unpunished and the country would just keep chugging along nbd

“He thought he had to stop the invasion because that’s what his president was telling him,” the racist mass murderer’s defense attorney said. “He thought, if he doesn’t do it, then nobody’s going to do it. He’s got to start.”

It is utterly fucking bonkers that the VP of the United States held a press conference on the soil of another country, declared his intent to take over that country, and implicitly threatened military force if that country didn’t comply.

Hi. I’m an expert in modernizing legacy government software systems. This is profoundly stupid and will definitely fail, and it’s just a question of whether our social security system fails along with it.

whoa what a huge coincidence, surely it can't be that national economic policy is being bent to make the world's rich person, a deranged sociopath with a long history of scams and no charitable giving, even richer

ICYMI, @propublica.org uncovered Project 2025 training videos last summer. And here’s where they discuss how to evade FOIA & hide their agenda from the public. The “Houthi PC small group” didn’t arise from ignorance of the law or incompetence. They just got caught.

The ACA was cool because before the ACA EVERY SINGLE CHILD WITH CANCER hit their annual and lifetime limits almost immediately and were denied insurance for the rest of their lives and after the ACA that’s illegal.

We are very close to a near cure for two of the highest-mortality cancers we know: glioblastoma and pancreatic cancer. These are both mRNA based treatments which are losing their funding during stage I and II trials. Thousands will die needlessly because of this motherfucker and his lies.

There are so many stories like this. It was never going to be "dangerous immigrants." It was always just going to be scooping up anyone they could to send them to their for profit prisons. Also, of course, make maximum misery because they're Nazis.
