    Saw clips last night. 

     

    There was no way Kamala was wining with those people. They are completely lost. I don’t know how you get those voters back. 

    Someone on one of the socials said the people in these clips should be making iced lattes and doing theatre not arguing for fascism 

     

    I also think COVID fucked up this country more than the country cares to or wants to admit

    Electing Obama president broke us.

    The rise of social media broke us more.

    Russian disinformation having free reign through said social media and now actual news outlets broke us even more.

    COVID broke us even more.

    The result.....is that this is all that's left:

    We are hopelessly shattered.  And all the kings horses and all the kings men will not be able to put us back together again.

    Looking at the rights of a green card holder:

    As a permanent resident (Green Card holder), you have the right to:

    Live permanently in the United States provided you do not commit any actions that would make you removable under immigration law

    Work in the United States at any legal work of your qualification and choosing. (Please note that some jobs will be limited to U.S. citizens for security reasons)

    Be protected by all laws of the United States, your state of residence and local jurisdictions

    Gotta read the fine print:

     

    * NONE OF THIS APPLIES TO YOU UNDER A LAWLESS, FASCIST REGIME.

    There were some studies that showed nicotine seemed to be effective against the virus.

    I am confident that Dr. Surly opined that heavy smoking, drinking lots of good bourbon, habitual masturbation, and yelling at your TV when Burt Auburn misses another goddamned FG are solid preventative measures against Covid.

    And who am I to argue with a doctor?

    I TRUST THE SCIENCE!

    Well, if you're cheering for the pain to start so maybe the fever breaks, that's good for us.

    But I saw someone post on FB in a mortgage video that Tariffs will make the US Dollar strong and a trade war is no big deal because we have more leverage than Canada. This is a normal, fairly successful person who in no way is outwardly trumpy. We're fucked. 

    I could buy a British pound for $1.22 the day before TFG was inaugurated.

    Today, it costs me $1.29 to buy that same GBP.  A nice 6% hit to my personal wallet.  Fucking awesome.  

    There's literally nothing that Trumpists can't be wildly wrong about.  They manage to be stupid fucks about fucking EVERY POSSIBLE SUBJECT.

    Also, 64D chess: Trump is a great ally by giving a boost to Zelensky!  From NYT

    Trump’s Attacks Give Zelensky a Bit of a Reprieve at Home

    The Ukrainian leader’s approval rating is rising, and critics have backed off after he was humiliated and criticized by President Trump, who has also demanded new elections in Ukraine.

     

    The US is truly unifying the western world, and is unifying the positions of the people within those countries.

    Unfortunately, what is unifying them is their opposition to and hatred of the US.  Nothing draws folks together like a common enemy.  And that common enemy is....us.

    Jesus monkeyfuck, the fucking stupidity.

    Zelensky should demand new elections in the U.S. with international oversight

    That would be the balls thing to do....but he's also a leader who is going to do what it takes to pursue his country's interests, not take the impetuous and juvenile path.

    I know, that seems completely alien to those of us who live in Trumpistan, but there you are.

    Pissing off our allies and destroying our military export market to own the libs.  So much winning.

    Germany, and others, consider backing out of F-35 orders because of the concern that you know who could withhold parts/service or outright disable (whether that's really possible or not) systems.  In other words, the US is no longer to be trusted.  I can't blame that line of reasoning at all.  

    The Euro Fighter might not be as good as US aviation but it's better than Russian crap.  And it won't be subject to the whims of TFG.  I'll bet Saab is looking into replacing the jet engine in Gripens for similar reasons.

    It's stunning to see partnerships built over 70+ years of generally positive cooperation being blown to bits in just 50 days.

     

    Every single one of our allies would be insane NOT to pursue that course of action: complete and totally decoupling from the US defense industry.

    First, if the US (and by "the US," I mean our current mercurial, psychotic administration) at all disagrees with your use of a weapon/platform....the US will disable it.

    Second, there is no a non-zero chance, which is rising rapidly, that one or more of our former allies will end up in actual defensive combat operations against the US.  It's a terrible idea to be in a situation where your enemy can turn off your defensive weapons as the battle begins.

    The only smart move for Europe is to decouple not 50%, not 90%, but 100% from US defense systems.  F-35s are a stupid, stupid buy.  Because yep, it doesn't matter how good it is if you can't even get it up in the air when you need it.

    Think the folks at Lockheed and Raytheon don't see this writing on the wall?  Think there isn't massive pants-shitting happening in their business offices?  And.....think they are viable if they have no buyers other than the US?

    We are on track to completely neuter our domestic defense industry.  Fucking brilliant.

    France, Sweden, the UK, and Germany 'bout to make some MONEY.  At our expense.  "America First" my ass.

    Hoping to have Italian citizenship within a couple of years and if a big shift back to normalcy hasn’t been made here in 2028, I think it will be time to move on. I’m sure a lot of Germans in the 30s didn’t think they would ever leave their home country either, but shit happens. 

    We had a long lunch with some of my Mexican family this weekend (a branch that lives mostly in Guadalajara, and bitches about that city).  My wife and I mentioned that I was looking into my options for Mexican residency/citizenship, as we were discussing our current US shitshow.  At first, they were puzzled, but then....

    It's no wonder this is going on at the same time

    If you are a car insurer.....are you contemplating halting all insurance of a "car" that has now been turned into a hated political statement?

    If you are a Tesla stockholder who realizes that the entire value of the brand is "Elon," and the odds of Elon being assassinated keep shooting up.....are you unloading that stock?

    Indeed, there are only two things that can happen with Elon, and both of them are bad for Tesla at anything close to its current stock price: Elon keeps on keeping on, further tanking the price.  OR....Elon dies, thus taking away the only thing that makes Tesla unique and thus valuable.

    But....have no fear.  The US government will 100% bail him out.  All future vehicle contracts will mandate "Teslas only."  The US government will reward Tesla with government contracts to....manufacture typewriters or some shit, it doesn't matter what it is, it just matters that the checks are cashed by Elon.  The US government will buy Tesla stock to prop up the price.  ETC.

    It's a full-on kleptocracy, and Elon is leading the charge, while claiming he's saving us a shitload by changing the brand of coffee the government buys.  And the idiots eat it up.

    Malcolm Nance believes turnip absolutely plans to “annex” both Canada and Greenland, and he lays out his argument as to why he believes this and how it will go down in the gift substack. Spoiler, he is predicting a second civil war. 
     

    https://malcolmnance.substack.com/p/urgent-warning-trump-is-planning?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=m83ne&triedRedirect=true

    That scenario is 100% on the table.

    Americans need to decide who they are loyal to -- the Republic, or the Trump regime.  Because those two interests have a real, material chance of being in a shooting war against each other sooner than anyone would like to think.

    Yawn. Dems will get blamed for it somehow.

    They got blamed for the subprime recession which fueled the tea party movement. They got a share of 9/11 blame. Obama was blamed for the rise of ISIS. Biden for the Taliban, after Trump freed militants. Hillary for Benghazi, when state department budgets were cut by the GOP.

    The GOP is much better at leveraging a crisis. It’s in their DNA to destroy things and blame their adversaries for the chaos and suffering, deserved or not.

    Then just root for more tornadoes to even out the voting pools.

    About a half-hour ago, I heard about the below post on the Texas Standard as part of their wrap-up with listener comments on their socials.

    One of them mentioned and linked this post:

    Good.

    Tornado alley is solidly Trump country.  When the leopard of mother nature eats some of their faces, without any of the warning that a functioning weather science system used to provide......that will be good for society as a whole.

    They want people to suffer by a massive cessation of government services.  They think that everyone who benefits from government services is "welfare queens" (and we all know what color those welfare queens are).  Turns out, people who depend on weather warnings to survive are also "welfare queens."  Guess they should pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get their own radar and communications connectivity.  Fucking leeches.

    I wonder which church will win the bid to hold trump’s body in state and charge for viewings. 
     

    or is there more money to be made in hiding his remains such that belief in his living persists?

    Dude....they are 100% going to pull a "Lenin's tomb."  They'll pickle Il Douche's body, put it inside some elaborate gold (plated) viewing box, install it at Mar-A-Lago, and charge cultists $50 a head to come see it.  And then they must exit through a labyrinth of a gift shop full of MAGA and Trump commemorative merch. 

    All roads lead to grift.

    All of them.

    Without Elon, TSLA is no longer a meme stock. So they don't care how much he destroys the actual brand, because if they replace Elon the market will start treating TSLA like an automobile manufacturer and not like a magical tech company. 

    This.  Elon is TSLA, TSLA is Elon.  Kind of like how there is no GOP but Trump anymore.

    The TSLA board has to be ride-or-die with Elon.

    Let's hope the outcome is "die."  Because fuck all of them, and fuck the economic enshittification that is "meme stocks."
