You don’t even have to be that smart to be the US President, that’s what your advisors are supposed to be for. That was evident in Trump’s first term when he surrounded himself with at least semi competent people. When you surround yourself with a bunch of sycophantic morons, this is the type of shit you get. Not to mention the whole revenge tour thing.

The mainstream has been bought and paid for, the revolution will not be televised.

It is cheaper for them to take the sales loss that comes with raising prices rather than it would be to take any other approach. Austerity and Tariffs make the perfect economic shit sandwich.

It doesn’t help that the tariffs are nonsensical. It’s not even like they’re doing austerity with correctly targeted tariffs. Incredible work, masterful gambit, art of the deal they’re saying.

A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit.

It is absolutely incredible that the only thing that outweighs their malice is their gross incompetence, which for better or worse may be our saving grace in undoing this mess

Automakers had to lobby for this to happen, he’s either a moron or he’s running a racket… oh wait it’s both!

I respect your optimism, I truly hope you’re right. I don’t think we’re locked in for human extinction just yet, but we have a lot of work to do as a society to avoid that.

Spoiler alert, we’re fucked. That’s what the assessment would have said at least.

But, but… I thought we were bringing industry back! I thought we were STRONG and POWERFUL and everyone was going to be riding on bald eagles with gold bars in their pockets under Trump 🙄

This timeline is ass.

You know what they say about broken clocks

I knew it was bad when the general consensus on the sycophantic subreddit r/conservative also held the opinion that these people should be held accountable. How terrible do you have to be to piss off your own loyalists? This timeline does not even feel real sometimes

What’s that in Scaramuccis?

We gotta fight fire with fire. Avoiding potentially “dangerous rhetoric” is part of what got us here, we need to tell it like it is and start referring to things as “common sense” because that will reach the majority of Americans.

For some reason Gary Peters aligned with Schumer on the spending bill, but also signed this

I’ll stop calling and emailing when they start doing their damn job. The status quo bullshit has to end, now.

No shit, someone just pulled that number out of their ass because it sounded good. Regardless of how much bullshit and nonsense this is, I would rather have a functional government keep the money and use it effectively than whatever the fuck this administration is currently doing.

Reliability is paramount to me lol

There’s a YouTube channel called “City Prepping” that has a lot of good content on the subject. Climate Change will not care about politics when it burns/ floods/ blows down our homes, everyone should be a minimum of two week ready, if possible. 72 hour ready is a necessity at this point with how unstable things have become with infrastructure and supply chains.

I was about to suggest ready.gov for the US, but it appears to have already been compromised

Coward.
