  1. They're grasping for spin control. They know this is the most egregious example of corruption, theft, and authoritarian bullshit that has happened in the US in over 100 years, if ever. They know they're destroying the US economy to feed themselves. These are the attempts to gaslight the country and make believe it all isn't happening. They're this abrasive and bold because they know Americans are stupid.
  2. 30 year? I'd have way more than 4.95% of doubt whatever comes after Trump has the country in position to be paying out debt in 30 years.
  3. Doubt there's going to be much of a war with any country that can nuke us. Trump can't steal from Americans if Americans are all dead.
  4. It's never going to change. Democrats have been the party of far more responsible spending for 50 years. Doesn't make a shit, morons still call republican "conservatives". Democrats had full control of the 3 branches once from 2008 to 2010 and got the ACA and recovery from the recession out of it. In only 2 years. Doesn't matter, idiots vote Republicans in again and again after that. Americans are brainwashed morons who can't critically analyze anything. There's no incentive to do anything to help them.
  5. These oligarch cunts are just trolling us now
  6. Of course they have the money, but no. They're not footing the bill themselves. At least not completely.
  7. Yeah, a 275 lbs guy is wasting away. Jesus christ
  8. I really, really, hope that part of the anacyclosis is next. The most entertaining part of the destruction of a democracy. I made several thousand on the "repeal" yesterday. Put some spare cash in on the slight gamble that this was all about greed from trump a few days ago. Got out yesterday. Put some money in over the next 90 days until he repeats this all over again, which he will, and if the stupid markets respond that way again buy after a couple of days of the drop. This moron is extremely predictable. He's crashing our economy to manipulate the market and gain for himself. Just the most evil, corrupt, callous, and destructive way to con money that's ever been done by a government official in the US in history. And it's the president and the entire Republican party doing it together. This country is fucked beyond repair, and "we the people" pulled the trigger. I haven't checked the rates on the US Treasury bond market in the last couple of days, but during the tariff manipulation drop of several thousand points, the interest rates on long term US securities went up. Quite a bit. I'm not a historian on US bond rates, but I'd imagine that's the first time in a long time that's happened. The trump antics have ruined the US Treasury note as the gold standard in government securities around the world. No longer will countries around the globe park their money in large quantities at the lowest rates in the stability of US debt. The US notes will now have to offer higher and higher rates to entice buyers of our debt like we're fucking Cambodia or some other unreliable 3rd world shithole. Because we now are exactly that. Janet Yellen called this the worst self inflicted wound in the history of the US. For a country that runs a deficit in the $$$Trillions annually? A country whose president and ruling party are about to extend tax cuts on the rich again? This is economic disaster. This is the economic equivalent of getting hydrogen bombed. We will not be able to fund this debt going forward if this trajectory keeps up, and trump will start printing money. Which we should all know how that goes.
  9. Yet the free market system has not sufficiently punished them for running a system that radicalizes their users with propaganda that is spoon fed to the user by the platform itself. Therefore, there must be governmental regulation banning this practice (or highly regulating it) with consequences sufficient enough to be a deterrence. The population must be de-radicalized, and removing the methods used for radicalization in the first place is the most efficient and IMO best solution.
  10. You called it ridiculous then agreed with almost everything I was saying. What you described is not true free speech in the American sense. So limiting what people can say online would be setting up a system of limiting speech. Which is exactly what I said needs to happen. And unregulated social media is absolutely the problem. The algorithm based recommendations system just creates echo chambers where people are sent rage bait propaganda over and over and become radicalized. That absolutely has to change before things can improve. Whether it's by removing the algorithm recommendations all together or by highly regulating the content they recommend. I believe removing them is the best option and you apparently believe regulating them is the best option.
  11. It's become clear that Americans are too stupid to handle free speech responsibly. They need hand holding to keep from believing the dumbest of things. That has to happen if this is ever going to return to any semblance of normalcy ever again. True free speech cannot work in the social media age.
  12. Social media of all types have been the kryptonite of freedom and democracy. It's given the upper hand to authoritarians who suppress information from the populace while free societies become corrupted with conspiracy theories and nuttery. The only way I see to make it better without going full authoritarian is to ban all algorithm content suggestions from social media. Make it where the people have to actually work to seek out the nuts and they most likely go back to getting news and info from the main sources. Then combine that with a ban on calling false information news. Force the fox News type people to have to put "this is opinion and not news. It may be completely false and wrong" in big font across their screen on anything that isn't fact based news reporting.
  13. So an Ojo/Roseborough tackle class looks more likely now?
  14. Democrats only had a majority in the house, and they definitely impeached him. Turtle fucker in the Senate killed it. That was a completely different situation. Republicans and their billionaire owners weren't losing millions and billions of dollars from Jan 6. They are now from this insanity. They don't have to impeach over tariffs. They could impeach over the blatant violation of the law, disregarding federal judge's orders, and violations of civil and constitutional rights on the no due process kidnappings. It's insane they aren't taking the option to get rid of him and save their wealth and power. It makes no sense at this point.
  15. Not sure. We've had a 100 percent tariff on BYD Cars from China for years now
  16. That's my point though. I knew they were spineless as long as they were gaining power and profit for themselves. They would allow any level of atrocity. But this is killing their wealth, costing the billionaires that bribe them wealth, and it's stripping them off all power. That's the ultimate level of spinelessness. They'll even sacrifice themselves. I just want to know if even one of those spineless cunts is even trying to keep his/her wealth and power.
  17. Does anyone even think there's talks behind the scenes in Congress to get the numbers for removing Johnson as speaker and getting impeachment? I would just like to know if any of the Republicans are even trying.
  18. It's hard not to when the republicans have moved fully into authoritarian fascism, and have brainwashed 40 percent of Americans that it's in their best interest. I wish they had given Bernie a chance in 2016 to really fight with liberal ideals, but they were never going to do that.
  19. Obama at age 47 had to fix the Republicans cratering the markets with the wars and mortgage crisis, and you think Obama at 67 is going to want to inherit this shit? That fucker is laughing his ass off sitting on whatever rich man's throne he's on right now. I bet he won't want any part of cleaning up America's stupidity mess. In 2 years of complete democrat control from 2009 to 2011 they steered the banking crisis and economy back on track and gave millions of Americans access to health care with the ACA. How many times since 2000 have Republicans had full control? What has happened when they do? What have they given us?
  20. The Japanese, Chinese, and South Korean markets are getting slaughtered on Monday morning. It's only a matter of hours before ours does as well. It's all the fault of Americans and the stupid fucks they elected, and the world won't forget this.
  21. The billionaires bought off politicians, especially Republicans, to offload their financial responsibility to the country to deficit spending. Combine that with a ridiculously wasteful and bloated DOD, that spends more than the #2 through #10 countries in the world COMBINED, and you have what we have. If at any time those two things got fixed would have rebounded a ton. But corruption and stupidity will always do you in eventually.
  22. The only Democrats I would put blame on are the Biden cabinet people who kept telling us he was fine and ready to go when he was falling asleep during prep for the first debate and obviously had declined heavily due to age. They should have pressed heavily to pull the plug on a re-election campaign well before the primaries. They didn't, and it cost us big time. That said, they get 1 percent of the blame. The other 99 percent goes to the fucking racist morons who voted for Trump or didn't vote at all. This should have been the easiest election ever, even far easier than 2016. Everyone saw exactly what Trump was during 2017 to 2020, 1/6, and the ensuing trials. The stupidity to choose that is far beyond anything ever seen before.
  23. Oh really?
