Aw don't worry you guys. The last time the US went all crazy with tarrifs was 1930 and that eventually worked out fine!

How fuckin brave. Marcy Rheintgen is a hero. I hope to God she doesn't suffer any serious consequences.

"Debunked stupid conspiracy theory" -yeah but we live in a world where many previously unthinkable and unbelievable things have actually happened. We live in a world where it's 100% plausible that difficult people could be "taken care of" by the current reĝime.

Maybe you're right. I just predicted he wouldn't live through next year, maybe not this year. But is it just my hopefulness?

I think his age and poor health will come into play before the end of 2026 if not before the end of this year. Once he kicks the bucket, the clown committee will not be able to keep it together. That's my prediction.

Added to that: the dems will make no meaningful move to capitalize on the moment of advantage when bad orange man is dead and republicans fall into disarray.

Edit: am i just wishful thinking? Maybe, but you guys and your cold water can't extinguish my hope.

If I'm wrong, then the only alternative is to shut down this idiot circus by other means. We must resist with everything we have, and never let go of our revolutionary optimism.

Ok thanks for straightening me out. I realize I was looking at this: https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/white-collar-crime/most-wanted

All i saw was "Most Wanted" and apparently ignored everything else.

This post inspired me to go and look at the fbi's most wanted list and I shit you not, there's no violent killers, there is a long list of people wanted for fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, money laundering, fraudulent investment schemes, tax evasion, etc. It made me think: hey, wasn't the president convicted of fraud? And tax evasion? I'm pretty sure.

So if the dept of education doesn't exist anymore does that mean federal student loans don't exist anymore and don't have to be paid anymore?

Edit: The comment I replied to was removed, so my sarcasm seems out of place without context. I have removed that reply.

I will instead say this: before the election I complained that there was no viable anti-genocide voting option, and before I got downvoted into oblivion I was told "well, you can't get everything you want in politics". I held my nose and voted Harris, thinking maybe the democrats could be pressured.

Well here we are. The whole fuckin thing makes me want to cry.

 

"...there came a point, a few weeks ago, when I realized, the government isn’t going to end the war, isn’t bringing the hostages back, and isn’t helping the evacuees.”

" Increasingly, Netanyahu’s many opponents are questioning his handling of the war. Others are questioning the prime minister’s motives, suggesting his political interest lies in the continuation of the fighting, which inevitably delays his political demise. Netanyahu is currently under trial on various charges of corruption."
