The proof that the US is being dismantled could not be clearer. There is no other explanation for the fact that science is being actively targeted to this extent.

Why don't we just give up, pardner?

Are we great again, yet?
So much winning by the US atm.
My favorite part is sitting in traffic like we are not mid-collapse.
MAGA is like a real-time massive Dunning Kruger demonstration playing out in real time. These people don't even have a basic understanding of what a government actually does. They just assume "it can't be that hard, let's just fire everyone and figure it out later."
This feels just like what companies do right before selling to the highest bidder.
Liquidating the country. This is reminding me of the leveraged buyouts that were all the rage for a min
Neo-cons: Man, I wish we could just liquidate the entire country.
MMT: We’ve been looking at the national debt all wrong. It’s not a burden, it’s a measure of all the assets in the country. The only way to “pay off” the national debt would be to liquidate the entire country.
Neo-cons: Repeat that last part? … Guys, I have an idea. I really, really care about the national debt. It’s a big problem. We gotta solve it. Who’s with me?
I mean, Trump literally wants to do a crypto pump and dump by selling the U.S. gold reserves to fund the crypto exchange.
From the perspective of someone who wants the U.S. to succeed, you could not do something dumber.
From the perspective of someone who wants to extract every scrap of value from the country and then cut it loose while fleeing somewhere else to try to spend the trillions of whatever currency they think they’ll wind up with, it makes perfect sense.
I just had a messed up thought. Maybe the talk of Trump having a ‘revenge tour’ isn’t revenge on individual people, but revenge on the entire country for not electing him in 2020.
When does it end?! These reference values are super important especially in medicine! This stuff is just unhinged, dangerous and stupid
Gotta be honest: anyone surprised by this stuff has just straight up not been paying attention. I have zero patience for this shit. The plan has been on the open internet for over half a fucking decade. They said they were gonna follow it. They’re following it. You’re not allowed to be surprised.
Thats fair, doesn't make it any less bonkers.
Not everyone can pay attention about everything. I get the sentiment but there are certain “fundamentals” that I think even republicans/magas are surprised to see going away. Try to be cool with your fellow posters who might not have the time, resources or experience to know what you do. We aren’t all coming from the same place and position here.
I'm also waiting for them to make cuts to CISA and ruin the great standing the agency has in the world of cyber security
"See we dont need CISA our computers arent getting hacked, so what do we pay them for?"
If you don't get the joke is CISA security is so good they dont get hacked
So... Did Putin find a magic lamp?
