  1. Historically speaking, that's usually what happens after an authoritarian fascist leader is in power for an economic collapse. It's just in this case, he had to DIY his economic collapse
  2. Had to pull a link to see what you meant https://www.reuters.com/world/us-iran-direct-talks-over-nuclear-program-trump-says-2025-04-07/ Good fucking god, he tore up the old nuclear deal. Now he wants a nuclear deal. Fuck me.
  3. I can't tell how this is gonna affect tariff movement
  4. "During planning for the site, TxDOT cited the ability for employees to work remotely as a reason to scale back plans for more parking."
  5. They're down like a quarter point from February, at least ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  6. The thing is - most factories use orders of magnetude less labor than they used to. There's a whole phenomena of "lights out factories" where there's maybe a dozen people on-site to manage a whole assembly line. It takes less man-hours to build widgets than it used to, so building more factories doesn't really mean more jobs anymore either
  7. This is all just regurgitated Fox News talking points what the fuck? None of this is based on fact or reality. It's the next iteration of the "many people are saying" okeydoke groupthink that gave us litter boxes in school bathrooms and other ridiculous shit that you described as democratic issues
  8. Who could have guessed that "they're eating cats and dogs" and "your children will come home from school a different gender" would be a more resonant message than "we will protect medicare/medicaid and social security"? Those are not serious ideas or messages. How do you reason with a person living a completely different reality?
  9. Russia is certainly enjoying the carnage (Translated headline) Russia gloats over Trump's tariffs: "Our country will become a great superpower and Trump will help with that"
  10. To MAGA, the greatest sin is to question the Imperial Presidency. Whatever Dear Leader says MUST be the truth.
  11. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ca4.178258/gov.uscourts.ca4.178258.13.0_1.pdf 4th Circuit of Appeals denies the trumpco request for an immediate administrative stay, and affirms the order to return the plaintiff to the US by no later than 11:59 PM April 7, 2025. come get your flowers @futureman and @ChickenSandwich, yall were hella jazzed about all these Venezuelans getting blackbagged back in February.
  12. I don't think the tariff action is gonna slow down. This is from 30 minutes ago:
  13. Republicans want to turn our military into the russian armed forces. They've been slobbering overthem for fuckin' years. See: ted cruz drooling over their ultramasculine propaganda and criticising our "WOKE!!!" servicemembers.
  14. That dead cat sure is bouncing fast
  15. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14575733/Marjorie-Taylor-Greene-stock-market-treasury-bills-donald-trump-tariffs.html
  16. That's just classic shitbird executive bully stuff. Really nice. America is FINALLY being ran like a Fortune-500 business
  17. We've been looking for our next home in Houston for some time now, we just put an offer in last night on a place we really like and was under our budget even. Only downside is the sellers are aggy /s Last time we closed on a house was 4/20/2020 and oil was negative. I wonder what new economic calamaty will be ongoing while we close on this one lol
  18. What's the software support like for windows on ARM? I was worried there would be poor library compatability
  19. You just KNOW they're raking in the big bucks with their publishing business
  20. Please, in this house we prefer to call it "rugged individualism" or "libertarianism"
  21. Hey man, it's gonna be a punchy week/month/year/decade.
  22. I doubt there will be any course changes in the next week. Trump has been saying since before the election this was the plan. Dude has tied us all to the mast. What's so crazy about this is all the useful idiots that didn't believe he would go through with it. "If" there's gonna be tariffs, right @Incredulity?
  23. Yeah those people are just chattel and property to be traded around anyways right? What a horrible analogy to use.
  24. Oh and a bunch the people sent to the El Salvadorian gulag to be tortured and worked in a labor camp (which is explicitly unconstitutional) didn't even have a goddamn criminal record. The man pictured was deported for his tattoos that said "mom" and "dad"
  25. Thoughts and prayers to clapclapclap
