  • So much for the 1st Amendment. Guess that's only valid when it fuels the Trumpsterfire.

  • European alternatives to non-European apps (2.0)

    Jump

  • It's pretty telling that, as a European, I've literally not heard of any of those European alternatives.

  • Diplomacy dies on live TV as Trump and Vance gang up to bully Ukraine leader

  • It's been a while since I've gone through a whole day being proud of my US citizenship. Today was one of the most shameful.

  • The United States is Falling Apart and the World is Taking Notice

    Jump

  • Trump is creating a lot of enemies. Even turning allies into enemies. The reputation usually mostly recovers when there's a Democrat in the WH, but since American voters walked right back into the same chaos again, eyes wide open, it's going to be a lot harder to recover this time around. There's just very little trust and credibility left.

  • Those YouTube ads everyone hates made $10.4 billion in just three months

  • What if you only use the apps?

  • Ocasio-Cortez says if you feel burnt out by the news lately, that’s ‘exactly’ what Trump wants

    Jump

  • Americans are too dumb to have this much power. It's all size and no substance. We need to find a better way to distribute power in this world.

  • White House preparing executive order to abolish the Department of Education

    Jump

  • The Republicans have all the power in Congress and they are all afraid of Trump.

  • Democrats join protest against Musk’s ‘hostile takeover’ of federal payment systems

    Jump

  • Not being defeatist, just a realist. Judges don't matter when SCOTUS is in Trump's pocket. Republicans know they have these two years to dismantle the government and set it back decades while they have literally all the power. They have everything they need to get it done.

    This is what happens when some people choose to stay home on election day because "the Democrats are not doing enough for Palestinians." Now watch what happens to Palestinians.

  • Democrats join protest against Musk’s ‘hostile takeover’ of federal payment systems

    Jump

  • Yes, it matter to us, but it doesn't matter to them. And there's nothing we can do anything about it. That's the point. They have the power to do whatever they want right now, every branch of the government, and their supporters and voters with find any excuse to defend their actions no matter how wrong those actions are, because it's "necessary."

  • Democrats join protest against Musk’s ‘hostile takeover’ of federal payment systems

    Jump

  • Sorry, but none of this matters. Republicans are all powerful now. They have the White House, the House, the Senate, SCOTUS, the Fed, the Treasury. For the next two years, they can do whatever they want and act however they like. The voters walked right into this with eyes wide open. I don't want to hear the excuses and cries. America is just getting what it voted for.

  • Mexican president reveals U.S. concession Trump failed to mention as tariffs paused

    Jump

  • Trump never mentions anything that can make him look like he gave anything up. His fragile ego just doesn't allow that. He always has to come out as the winner and everyone else has to come out as the loser. And that's what he will call them.

  • Tesla sales plunge 63% in EU’s second-biggest EV market

  • Elon and Trump are butt-buddies.

  • Tesla sales plunge 63% in EU’s second-biggest EV market

  • Musk says DOGE is halting Treasury payments to US contractors

    Jump

  • Yet, no one's doing anything about it or can do anything. These people are all powerful now. The White House, the House, the Senate, SCOTUS, Fed. Everything belongs to the Republican Party and they can do whatever, whenever. No checks and balances.

    Economically, how can concerned Americans prepare for the worst?

    Jump

  • From my viewpoint, Trump is and will be causing social hardship much more than economic hardship.

    I could possibly see a benefit in preparing for a harder times socially. Further division among neighbors might be the main casualty of this administration. Social cohesion is already struggling from his first four years.

    Economically, I have no confidence in Trump's actions overall, but I am very confident that his massive ego determines his actions, and that ego is largely held up by the performance of the stock market. He will be very careful not to take any action that will rattle the markets too much. Whenever he see a negative reaction in the markets, he pulls back, claims a moral victory and moves on to the next thing.

  • Very good read. Thank you.

    And great to have a reasonable conversation with someone you don't necessarily agree with. That is unfortunately a rarity these days.

    I'm going to leave it here on a high note. Thank you again and have a great weekend, my fellow philosopher.
