  • Trump says he is not joking about third presidential term

  • Perhaps. I think it is much more likely that Thiel & Musk attempt to wait Trump's death out and then install Vance, which will ultimately be the crescendo that causes large scale civil unrest because everybody fucking hates him.

  • To be clear, I agree with you. I was being hyperbolic about the "rule forever" part because nothing last forever.

    However, I think they are drunk enough on their own power to believe they can outlast all of us, and it remains to be seen, in the short term, whether they are right...

  • The strategy is really simple, and I don't know why it isn't obvious to everyone. The Republican party will simply refuse to run a candidate in 2028. They will claim that the country is under hostile occupation by Marxists who are attempting to destroy the United States from within and Trump will just refuse to leave office after the mid-terms (if we even make it that far before he declares war & martial law).

    They don't need to cancel, manipulate, or legally challenge anything. At that point, it doesn't fucking matter what happens with the election because there is no legal mechanism to enforce the removal of the regime. They are going to dare the courts, the police, and the military to try and forcibly remove them, which we all know will not happen. Then just rule by fiat forever.

    The End.

  • Elon Musk demands firing of ‘disgusting and cruel’ WSJ reporter who uncovered DOGE employee’s racist tweets

    Jump

  • I have no sympathy for any of them, and neither should anyone else. The choices they have made will result in the suffering of millions. Whatever fate they ultimately meet will proportionally be infinitely merciful by comparison. They do not get some special dispensation for being naive.

    It is possible to be both immature and abjectly evil. That is, most likely why Musk picked these young men. They have the hallmarks of sociopathic tendencies with the inexperience to be led into a fucking minefield. Here is hoping they trigger some explosions that don't take a billion of us with them.

  • That seems like a lot of extra work when we could all just die in a nuclear holocaust trying to stop the Democrats from sending more hurricanes.

  • Nancy Pelosi ‘Actively Working to Tank’ AOC’s Committee Bid

    Jump

  • Correct. This is why there is essentially zero chance at political reform in this country without large scale violence. Granted, that violence will almost certainly be misdirected, but I think given the actual state of the system it truly is a forgone conclusion that we will see mass civil unrest within the next (~20) years.

  • 62% of Americans agree US government should ensure everyone has health coverage

  • I guess I didn't really explain my thought process very effectively from the beginning. That was my fault.

  • Oh man I'm really sorry to hear that, is the floor doing alright!?

  • 62% of Americans agree US government should ensure everyone has health coverage

    Jump

  • I totally agree that no solution is going to be simple. I think what I envisioned was an inter-state compact where it would make it essentially impossible for medical providers to pull away. If we just use the West Coast as an example, what if Washington, Oregon, and California were to create a public option risk pool that could then be joined by other blue states? That is really the idea that I think is the most sensible, and potentially feasible to implement over time.

  • 62% of Americans agree US government should ensure everyone has health coverage

    Jump

  • Yes, but you could say the exact same thing about the creation of single payer state insurance pools could you not? They can force negotiations on medical providers at the state level, and force them to accept state backed insurance if they wish to conduct business in that state. That seems like a way simpler solution than needing to come up with massive amounts of logistical infrastructure that already exists.

  • 62% of Americans agree US government should ensure everyone has health coverage

    Jump

  • This is an interesting idea, but I don't see where that is ever going to be effective either given the massive logistical undertaking that would be required in order to deal with states managing non-profit medical facilities. The only option is to somehow circumvent the middle men.

  • 62% of Americans agree US government should ensure everyone has health coverage

    Jump

  • That is why universal healthcare risk pools need to start at the state level. The goal needs to be to lock out the subsidization of those who are voting for predatory policies. This accomplishes a few important things.

    • It will systemically punish Republican voters in Republican led states.
    • Over time it will (in theory) massively shift the public consciousness in those areas around how badly they are getting fucked.
    • It removes the necessity of reliance on a federal change in order to begin the process of legislative reform.

    This is obviously not a perfect solution, but I don't see this happening in any other way. There is roughly a (0%) chance we see universal healthcare implemented at the national level first.

    I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this? It seems to me like you are saying that cartels are somehow engaged in an ideological war, and I don't really see any evidence of that. Can you elaborate further?
