Trump will die a free man, sadly. The justice system has already made up it’s mind and nothing he does will ever be punished, no matter what.
Now, how he dies is still up in the air. I think the odds are already not in his favor to have a peaceful death in his sleep. The best he can hope for is a disease taking him out at this point.
The only thing I agree with on Trump here is that he’s correctly pointing out that WalMart made billions in profits last year. Yes, WalMart supported this monster in the first place thinking it would work out for them in the long run, so it’s a leopards eating faces scenario for sure, and I wouldn’t be sad if WalMart lost profits this year because of Trump’s stupidity. It’s just too bad that regular people are going to suffer because WalMart killed the small businesses that used to support towns that they wormed their way into.
We aren’t even done adjusting to inflation pricing, and here we are not getting slapped with a Trump Tax on top of it. Madness.
There was talk that she was going to run again for local elections, which is a huge step down from having been the VPOTUS, but she would be more involved in California politics again. Possibly having that household name recognition would give her an edge in a congressional race or gubernatorial campaign (Newsom is finally turning sour to even moderate Democrats with his hard right shift lately).
Is there a way to poison the well so badly and so irrevocably that corporations won’t dare use generative AI for anything? Can we somehow trick these overgrown chatbots to speak ill of their masters in the form of direct-to-stream advertisements?
He doesn’t want you to take medical advice from him, but he does want to dictate what kind of medical advice your actual doctor is legally allowed to give you.
I’m certainly not crediting Trump for that ceasefire. Biden negotiated it. Doesn’t matter whose ass was in the seat in the oval office at the time.
One of the last things Biden did in office was secure a ceasefire. One that ultimately fell apart when Trump let Israel off the chain to “finish the job”.
People who refused to vote for the party that was committed to stopping the war simply because they were acting too slowly for their taste are now culpable for the continued genocide under Trump. Enjoy the greater evil.
I think of this every time I see some egregiously fascist behavior on display in the Trump admin getting defended by people who think the left is overreacting. I wish more people knew about this and understood that it’s not some left wing looney saying it, it’s a guy who lived through it and can identify it for what it truly is.
Check this guy’s computer first. Guarantee there’s some fucked up shit on there. It’s always projection.
Trump blew up the economy only to pause or walk back every single one of his stupid tariffs that were supposed to “make everybody rich” and bring manufacturing back to America. Could have seen that one coming from a mile away.
And we’ll never know the terms of the new trade deals he negotiates, only that they are great and better than before and that we should be thanking him on our hands and knees. As if anybody actually gives a single fuck about whether or not the U.S. runs a trade deficit.
Mark my words, these tariffs are never going to go fully into effect for any significant amount of time. One day into their implementation and it was clear how damaging and destructive they were, so they got paused to halt the chaos. Trump now needs a way to pull back on the reins and rescind the tariffs while still looking like he is emerging victorious. I expect more “breakthrough trade deals” in the coming weeks. In spite of this, however, the damage to the trust in American stability and economic certainty will probably never recover from the absolutely idiotic implementation of these tariffs for the sake of gaining negotiation power when a phone call could have had the same effect.
I feel like at least some of them would have or should have had a better memory than a goldfish and recall when he fleeced them all for money to “finish the wall” near the end of his first disaster term (don’t you love how he no longer mentions the wall anymore?) and realize they got scammed because there’s still no border wall but Trump took in like 100M+ and blew it all on legal counsel.
They are professional victims, even when they have control over all three branches of government.
Trump is about to crack, why would you buckle now? Let him dig his own grave a little deeper first before you toss him a lifeline.
Have the military replaced the government now?
That would be a military junta, not martial law.
Martial law is when soldiers, not peace officers, are tasked with upholding law and order.
It doesn’t matter if it’s for a good reason or not, it’s still martial law.
At this point, if you voted for Trump and you regret it, keep that shit to yourself. I would rather not know.
I know it’s going to suck for a lot of people, but I hope that nobody buckles under Trump’s trade war pressure. Let the shitty Trump tariffs be the torch that lights the funeral pyre that is the husk of what used to be the United States.
Trump is just a symptom. He could get drone-bombed tomorrow and nothing would change. The people who were complicit in him regaining power must be severely punished, or else they will simply fall in lockstep with the next Republican stooge, and the only way to properly punish them is to inflict the maximum amount of suffering directly to them. Economic suffering is the bloodless route, and one that will be very effective in breaking the spell of propaganda.
That’s a good question. Everything is digital nowadays, so it’s not like we’re getting film reels from Bollywood.
If I had to wager a guess, the cinemas would probably be paying the tariff at the time of acquiring the license to show the film.
I genuinely want somebody who thinks this is a good idea to explain to me why this is better than building a new maximum security prison on the mainland.
Nobody seems particularly alarmed by this, least of all Finland. I doubt Putin is going to go from losing a war against Ukraine to losing a war against Ukraine and Finland and the rest of NATO too. Seems like this “buildup” has been there for a while and is only growing presumably because Ukraine is getting really good at striking targets inside of Russian borders.
