“Don’t fight back while I rape you, because then things would get worse”
Bullies. Gigantic, stupid man babies. All because a parent didn’t give them the love and attention they thought they deserved.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

My advice to every bullying victim right now is: Do not retaliate. Sit back, take it in, let’s see how it goes. Because if you retaliate, there will be escalation.
“My advice to every country right now is: Do not retaliate. Sit back, take it in, let’s see how it goes. Because if you retaliate, there will be escalation. If you don’t retaliate, this is the high-water mark,” he warned.
It is incredible that Bessent would say this.
Yes, let's just accept being bullied. /s Incredibly shortsighted.
So, if Bessent takes off in utter humiliation, I hope he does not expect any support or sympathy from the masses.
My boot is on your testicles. Do not retaliate. Sit back, take it in, let's see how it goes. Because if you retaliate, there will be escalation.
In this scenario, it may actually good advice - we don’t have one victim here. We have a bully that’s been successfull enough that he’s trying to bully the whole school. While he could never stand up to a united school, you can’t control whether all the victims will stand up.
However bullying everyone is unsustainable. Nobody has time for that. Any victim that stands up too tall will get the bully’s focused attention, while victims that kind of roll with it will be quickly forgotten about and ignored. The most important thing for the bully is to say “I win”, and it doesn’t hurt you for him to say that
... And probably be replaced with Laura Loomer, with how things are going.
Might be a positive honestly. Make it go to shit fast and hard so his base hurts and his presumptive allies shy away to save their own hides
God damn this is bizarro world
The base is fully bought in on the crazy idea Trump tanks the market so he can refi the debt and save billions in interest and also the fed will be forced to drop interest rates. It's crazy though bc the impact of that will be catastrophic. The reason the US is so strong economically is because the dollar is the reserve currency of the world. You lose that power then it's harder to bounce back if at all.
They are rooting for the dollar to tank because they think it will make the price of his shitty Crypto token that they all bought skyrocket. Big brain math!
Running the country like he ran his businesses.
Except that bankrupting a country is really, really fucking bad for everyone in that country.
"Sit back, take it in, let's see how it goes" sounds far too rapey for him not to be aware of it. Not sure why anyone's suggesting we give this clown any credibility or benefit of doubt. He knew damn well who he was signing up to work for. He's as complicit as everyone else in that administration. I hope his career is over.
...After letting Elon Musk and his termites into the Treasury.
Maybe he just did not receive the memo about selling before the market crash and now he's mad
Play dead and the mauling bear may move on? I don't like it but he may have a point. 😐
All you LIBTARDS need to have some COMPASSION! ALL these MAGAs having Doubts thought Only GAY AND BROWN KIDS would be Effected. NOBODY Knew it would Also effect WHITE PEOPLE so PLEASE have a Little Compassion you COMMIE BULLIES!
Cool story. Let me know when dude actually quits. But it won't matter and I still won't care.
