The Supreme Court already endorsed a scenario where a president could legally send SEALs or something similar to assassinate anyone. As long as it’s “official” then it’s legal… that’s what they said.

It’s a really good thing for the world, probably, that I’ll never be told I can order a few consequence free SEAL raids. That’s practically begging for “testing.” You know, “just to see if they’ll do it.”

Kind of a real question… what the hell is the “end game” for pro-western Indian fascists? Do they hope that western fascists do take over worldwide and instate their “loyal” locals to high positions? Like reimplement the caste system and set them at the top? That seems like a hell of a gamble and very unlikely to pay off.

I kind of understand anyone who is just doing it to grift off rich white people in the west. Hey, fuck em, take that money. But the actual ideological “true believers” make my brain hurt. It reminds me of the Balt countries or like fascist Ukrainians or Croatians during WWII. “You aren’t on the team, bro” energy.

Shit’s really been on a exponential growth curve recently… not really sure there’s any slowing the train down either. The US appears to teetering on the edge of economic implosion and the fascists are just rubbing their nipples publicly while screaming how much they “loooooooove Hitler.” Shit’s so incredibly fucked.

Yeah… unfortunately common among the full blown Nazi types

These people are insufferable nerds of the worst type. They realized they get censored for saying “Jewish question” (as they should. Not a normal thing to say except in the specific context of discussion of Nazis/the Holocaust) or “the 14 words” or “heil…” you know. Don’t even wanna type that one (probably gets censored and I won’t disagree with that). So they started doing “cute” little codes to each other. “1488” is probably the most infamous. 14 for “the 14 words” and 88 for “heil…” you know.

It’s just so pathetically nerdy and loser ass behavior to go around tattooing 1488 on your body because you know 99% of the world’s population will recognize swastikas or death’s head or SS lightning bolts.

I am just always reminded of that asshole Nazi who shot up the mosque in NZ who kept “memeing irl” That guy is most of these people in essence. They all want to do that type of violence while yelling “1488! Lol! Pewdewpie!” And whatever else. There really aren’t proper words to describe how broken and… just pathetic they are

I hope any Nazis harassing Norm like that play Luigi’s Mansion

The GameCube game

Pretty fun

There are import taxes on some things, yes

But in general, no, we don’t

I remember discovering (the very hard way…) the opposite case when shipping A GIFT to a friend in Europe (non-EU state). I was sure I was being extorted, and I still kinda that’s true on a deep level, but ultimately I checked the laws and yeah it is right there in writing. I just remember being like "anything I ship from now on is “broken. Value: $0"”

I thought we kinda moved past all that pseudo (not even pseudo… less than that) BS around AI (“uhh, the world. Uhhhhhhh. Can you imagine, uhh, it will, uhhh, yeah. Yeah.”) Like 10 years ago. But probably not… unfortunately I have a habit of coping with stuff by hearing it and thinking “oh yeah that’s dumb as hell.” Then falsely believing everyone else also realizes it

I do remember Elon, among many, whining on about the “singularity” or whatever. The chatbot singularity is coming! Any day now.

Then the motherfucker kept funding “AI” research. The only conclusion you can reach is “They are using this as a selling point…”

Some tried framing it like “China bad! We good! We must make!” (Real “God is real and he’s an American!” vibes)

I have shifted from “accelerationism is bad” to “people (in the US/West) are too stupid/ignorant to ever change without a drastic reduction in material conditions.”

This sucks. Guess where I live? My life is 100% going to get harder. That’s not me whining. It’s just objectively true. And yet, I can see from the reaction of liberals over my lifetime that they will absolutely never ever change from the ruts they’ve been told to walk in. The only thing that can change them, apparently, is external forces. Whether that be brute force or a collection of economic forces, doesn’t matter, they won’t accept reality without one or both.

The reality I’m referring to, of course, being the domination of the world by neoliberalism. It doesn’t matter if the R or D man is in office. They have the same fucking goals. Destroy (slowly or quickly- same goal) all “good” things in order to put more pressure on workers in order to divide them further from each other and, importantly, workers elsewhere in the world. Destroy already defunct or underserved safety nets (basically zero in the US. All underfunded or “shit” on purpose) making every single person without extreme wealth open to destruction at the whim of an employer or landlord. I mean, this is already the case, created and worsened under Reagan, Bush, Clinton did a fuckload of damage, etc. It’s just now instead of targeting (made up) “welfare” “cheats” or “queens” they’re blowing up… Dept of Ed. USAID. Whatever else they arbitrarily decide on. Piece by piece eliminating or privatizing everything until everyone is fully and totally reliant on, again, employers and landlords. Even more than now, as unbelievable as that seems.

The goals and actions of Harris and Trump are exactly the fucking same but with the slight difference of maybe Trump is going faster and more openly at it. Yet, ask democrats or generally “anti-Trump” liberals what was Biden’s goal or plan in Gaza. “I dunno.” “Well, not to occupy it!” etc. They’re fully coping. Delusional! They saw (everyone saw it even if they didn’t want to) the genocide and destruction of Gaza which only ever had ONE end goal: permanent annexation and settlement by Israel. Biden was going to do that. He was doing it. Harris refused to differ from him. She was going to do it. You don’t allow people to carpet bomb an area in nothing then bring in bulldozers to reshape the land and cover debris and corpses without being aware “Oh, they’re landscaping. Prepping the land for rebuilding.” What the fuck else do they think the bulldozers are for??? They use them in the West Bank constantly. They rip down existing homes and build settlements for Israelis. None of this is a secret. But look how democrats, the most obnoxious liberals are saying “Aha! See! Trump is being worse!” No. He’s just being more honest. That’s all it’s ever been. Anyone who was ever deluded by the most lying-ass president perhaps in my life (saying a lot!) Genocide Joe Biden telling them “No, no, no. Of course Israel won’t settle Gaza!” is a purposeful moron. I’m sorry but not sorry. They are full on idiots. The man who lied about mass rapes, beheaded babies, who cast doubt on murder numbers by Israel in Gaza, who never spoke out against actual mass rape by Israeli soldiers on innocent Gazans, the list is infinitely long… that guy was totally not lying about permanent annexation. This is what they want us to accept along with them.

So, for that reason among many, it’s just gotta happen. It’s happening anyway as long as capitalists run the country. Maybe more slowly. Maybe it could be less harmful domestically. But it’s happening regardless in the long run. Trump is doing it. That’s reality now. The liberals are still coping. I guess he has to turn the screws harder… I have no doubt he will. How long will they keep coping? Probably longer than most of us will survive, if I’m being realistic. But at this point what the fuck else is possible? They refuse to accept that the entire system, capitalism, neoliberal governments, is the problem.

So, how’s everyone else doing?

Oh yeah, I did not mean a proper eulogy. Trump would never crawl his ass to a cemetery or whatever to degrade himself like that for McConnell. Maybe for Netanyahu. Definitely not any currently living American politicians that I can think of

I have a feeling Trump might give some sweet “eulogy” similar to his Colin Powell words when he died

If I have to live in this slowly increasing dystopia, I at least demand Orange Clown Man ritualistically embarrass his opponents (even people who were never really such) in life and death

I can absolutely guarantee when Bolton finally croaks, Trump’s words on him are going to be golden. This is all I have to live for.

Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and famously, so-called weapons of mass destruction, be treated in death so beautifully by the Fake News Media," Trump said in a statement. "Hope that happens to me someday. He was a classic RINO, if even that, always being the first to attack other Republicans. He made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace!

Talk about “perfect” phone calls. That’s a perfect “fuck you” when a piece of shit just died and the media is riding his corpse still

Edit: Ok, I keep editing faster than a NYT editor when they’re covering a fresh Israeli war crime…

But I just learned Bolton is younger than Trump (wtf???). He’s “only” 76. Considering he appears to be healthier (who knows) than Trump, well, nature better not rob me. I need this.

Also, check this out from US News

Only a handful – such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who angered Trump when the Kentucky Republican said Trump was morally responsible for the Jan. 6 insurrection – made more effusive remarks.

Eh? Eh? (Please god)

“Time to fund raise”

Also, I think. I THINK the DoEd is far more important to regular Americans (and easily observable as fucking insane to target) than USAID.

Free tip there for the DNC.

Maybe they’re poking the hornet’s nest

“No, stop bro. Hey you better stop those tariffs on Canada! We will not stand for this!”

Lmao, ok. Thanks for that fully unprompted information, Mr. President, sir.

Amish Mafia reruns are on the menu

“Good game”

Often used to mean “it’s over” “we’re fucked” “RIP” (rest in peace)

(The "you"s and “people” used in my original comment are not directed at anyone on this site. If that wasn’t clear. Just a generalized yelling at clouds)

If the states (as in US states, not overall US state… goddamnit) are unwilling to stop the gooner squads (apparently a bunch of Fuentes style incels and Elon) with no legitimacy from physically entering locations… then it seems like that whole “doesn’t have authority to do X” thing was theoretical. Or theatrical.

If Trump via proxy is allowed to do it (meaning no one stops him. And they clearly aren’t because they haven’t) it just means “that’s the way it is now.”

Why do people think that Trump gives a shit if the courts say anything? If he cared about any of that

1. Elon would be in prison. Or at the very lib-ass least far from any power. Not elected and not even appointed.

2. Trump would sign an EO, and then as soon as any opposition happened he’d pause and wait until courts decided. No he’s just doing it and he knows they’ll side with him… but it doesn’t matter anyway because if he gets months or years to gut departments, that’s just GG.

Basically everything being destroyed is stuff created many years ago. The US doesn’t create departments capable of any good anymore and hasn’t since, fuck… the 1930s? I guess the EPA is decent (Nixon, btw. Also Trump wants them gone too).

They aren’t going to recreate these departments and agencies in 4 years. They (democrats) aren’t even trying literally at all to stop the destruction now. Why the fuck would they do a positive action like refounding the DoEd? Nah, this shit is gone and people aren’t gonna do anything because it all feels innocuous or distant enough.

The only reason some funding EO stuff got reversed was because, among many other things, libraries and shit (my local one did this) were sending mass emails saying “Hey, we gotta shut down because Trump is a dumbass.” Basically.

As long as the truth is obfuscated enough, like direct checks to YOU aren’t harmed, no one ever cares.

Imagine being Xi right now though. Holy shit. Definition of “Do nothing. Win.” He’s probably laughing his ass off like “No, no, no… tell me that again. He’s abolishing their what now?”

Well, we’ll know sooner than I ever imagined how many CIA/FBI have the balls of their forefathers.

Apparently Trump is firing a fuckload of FBI agents. Of course I shed no tears over such things… but his buddy RFK Jr should’ve probably told him what happened to his uncle (and father, I suppose) when he started targeting such agencies.

It’s also just annoying that they do this in the most liberal (but more rightwing flavor) ways possible. “Nooo they targeted my precious boys on Jan 6!” For the record, I don’t think (most) of those dipshits deserved the sentences they got. I wasn’t exactly crying for them, but if we’re being real… shitting on Pelosi’s desk should get you an award. The Proud Boy fascist-style leader and such, well, it was a convenient reason to get rid of them.

Either way, this is the stupidest possible pretext to destroy the US “security apparatus.” Not that I think he’s actually doing that or trying to do that. More than likely this is for show or he’s a moron (or both). Still, firing a huge percent of FBI and presumably digging into the asses at DHS, NSA, CIA, etc. is going to undermine what they’re doing. Intended or not.

It’s like cutting USAID because “it doesn’t benefit Americans.” Well, it does (capitalists anyway), but I do wonder, again, if Elon/Trump are too fucking stupid (again… yes…) to actually know what “soft power” is.

Well, either way, it’s about to insanely boring or the opposite of that in the next year or so.

Between the tariffs which are obviously going to blow the backs out of millions of people, the incoming labor shortage because they chose deportation over amnesty and fair pay, and shit like just one by one destroying government “welfare” (in different forms) programs, the suffering knob is being turned up for absolutely zero reason when the other option is, I dunno… accept multipolarity and negotiate with China. Draw down the military presence. Stop whining about the border and making shit up about it. No, no, no… turn the pain knob. Isolate while simultaneously trying to increase imperialism. Seems sustainable…

LITTLE MARCO

Yeah there’s a ton of these people. I guess they still qualify. Not that it matters much anyway. The diehard actual gusanos are pretty psychotic, but the average Burger generally agrees with the sentiment if not the extreme fervor. The propaganda against Cuba has run deep for many decades and seemingly will continue for many more. Biden’s pathetic coward-ass waiting until his last days to partially lift the illegal embargo… there’s just not words to describe the depravity of such a person. Like just fucking stop… Jesus… can you not do one single fucking good thing???

I don’t think he even technically qualifies for Gusano status

His family left Cuba during Batista’s dictatorship. The gusanos, to my understanding anyway, are those who fled when Castro and the revolution defeated Batista. They didn’t wanna give up their ill gotten wealth and assets, so they packed what they could and fled to Miami and elsewhere. Unfortunately for them the “go to the pub, have a pint” strategy didn’t really work out. Nor did the whole “Ok, we’ll just invade then!” strategy work. Or the “cut off the serpent’s head!” strategy. Incredible losers.

He’s stealing gusano “valor” basically. We need a video of a real, certified gusano ripping into him. Telling him his gold bars are fake and his broke ass family never even owned slaves

Call it Titan II because it’s sinking more money faster than anything since that beautiful imploding submersible

(I just wanted everyone to enjoy the memory of when that stupid submersible imploded. Almost like a prelude to Year of Luigi. Now China is trying to 1929 the entire AI tech bubble)
