American mindset, in a nutshell.

I made a thing.

Okay, we know Trump is a moron who doesn't understand tariffs but he's surrounded by people who do - even if they're a bunch of a-holes. So tanking the markets is by design, so they can do what they always do - buy at basement level prices on the backs of everyone else when people are broke.

Pretty simple rule of thumb when wondering why the Trump administration does anything is to ask two questions: 1) is it racist? Or 2) are they stupid? Tends to cover most Trump administration stuff.

I know crashing the economy on purpose seems harsh, but it’ll all be worth it when the seventh Little Mermaid is white

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

The founder of Signal releases a response to SignalGate: “There are so many great reasons to be on Signal. Now including the opportunity for the vice president of the United States of America to randomly add you to a group chat for coordination of sensitive military operations.”

Cross: This is a thing that people use to talk to their side pieces. Something Pete Hegseth would know about

Perhaps the most depressing part about the last couple of months is that every awful shitty thing that’s happening to this country is self-induced. People asked for this. None of it had to happen.

how to get out of the mirror universe

We're looking at four years of "OH THERE'LL BE TARIFFS... oh I'm a genius negotiator who delayed it for a month... BUT MAYBE TARIFFS NOW... no hang on, I solved it again..." and all it's going to do is crush small businesses with uncertainty and give big businesses an excuse to keep raising prices.

Here's an idea: someone have all the major AIs do March Madness brackets and see which one wins. And how they do compared to actual people.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

AOC: The order has come down to this committee. Find $880 billion to pay for a tax cuts on yachts, jets, billionaires, and mega corporations while working class people pay higher tax rates than Facebook does. Undocumented immigrants pay more in taxes than many large corporations

It would be nice if every media outlet would stop using the word "savings." If I go into your kitchen and smash your refrigerator with a sledgehammer, I'm not "saving" you the cost of food and electricity. You still need those things and now you're going to need to buy a new fridge.

It was clear my life was headed down a dark path when I realized I much preferred the devil's fiddle playing in Devil Went Down to Georgia.

We're all calling them Doge-bags, right?

Motherfucker.

80s kids: wow, telepathy would be cool. I wish I could hear every thought that pops into people's heads. 90s kids: invent social media

Voters: okay Democratic party, we've voted for you. Please take drastic action to ensure progress continues. Expand the court, get rid of the filibuster. DP: instead, we'll send out 20 more fundraising emails talking about how terrible Trump is. Also, DP: why won't people keep voting for us?
