The billionaire, parasite class is turning against Trump. They wanted lower taxes and less regulation to commit more crimes, not massive global instability. And they definitely didn’t realize how diminished Trump is and the role the adults in the room played in the first administration.

This level of chaos will never be profitable. It only accelerates their plans to retreat to bunkers when everything collapses. That was supposed to be caused by climate change, not unforced errors from a senile president and the clown car administration sound him.

The Art of the Deal:

1. Behave recklessly and make threats to destroy the global economy
2. Get pushback from allies
3. Reverse course for allies, but behave even more recklessly against rival
4. Rival realizes you don’t know what you’re doing
5. Beg rival to engage
6. Rival refuses
7. Take insanely reckless actions toward rival
8. Rival stands firm
9. Get told by billionaires that you’re messing with their profits and, as a side note, domestic stability
10. Reverse course for rivals, look incredibly weak and get exposed for not having a clue what you’re doing on the global stage
11. ???
12. Make America Great Again

It’s hilarious to think that almost everyone thought this clown was real-life Tony Stark a decade ago. The people who worked with him knew better, but they were paid and under NDAs.

I still think Trump is setting him up to be the fall guy. He’s the patsy for all the crimes they all committed the second the heat gets turned up.

That or even earlier, Trump and his people get tired of dealing with him and decide it’s time to pull the plug. Make him the MAGA scapegoat for why his voters can’t afford the minimum payments on their credit cards anymore. Musk ran everything into the ground, and now some new plan with no details will save us all from his incompetence, etc., etc. The MAGA half of the country will believe it as soon as he says it.

Put two journalists in the chat this time. Mix it up. Double the compromise of national security; double the fun.

Behold! A featherless, bipedal shitposter!

I’m waiting for this to happen to a white parson who has an Hispanic name, like Rafael “Ted” Cruz.

If a journalist can do a human interest piece on a white parson sent to El Salvador or at least sent into the ICE black hole where the rule of law doesn’t exist, maybe that would drive the point home to “libertarians” and “small government conservatives.” Maybe it’s time to see past petty racism and see what’s at stake in the long term.

What exactly do LGBT issues have to do with trade policy? Why is this on the table? Is there supposed to be some big gay conspiracy to devalue currency or something? It’s all so idiotic.

I hope Malaysia and all the countries caught in the middle find a way to maintain their independence. A return to great power politics will end in pain and suffering for their people.

I sometimes think about what would have happened if Biden stood up to the DNC bosses in 2016 and ran in the primary. He probably couldn’t do much against the Clinton machine, but maybe just enough to make it more competitive. Divide the corporate Dem vote just enough…

Imagine working for Pete Hesgeth. I’m sure he has some kind of handler that keeps him from getting too drunk at the office, but he’s still a woefully unqualified moron.

You spend your life trying to keep your country safe. You turn down the cushy jobs with giant paychecks that your old colleagues took. And now, you have to watch this dumbass fratboy and his idiot, traitor bosses destroy the national security of your country in a matter of months with plans to do much, much worse.

The good thing is that there’s a steady hand on the wheel exercising unprecedented levels of power. He clearly has a plan to do things, undo them, redo them, undo them again, etc. according to a clearly defined plan.

Imagine if the guy claiming dictatorial powers was just winging it from one moment to the next. What a nightmare scenario that would be.

Let’s dispel with this illusion that Meta doesn’t know exactly what it’s doing. Hate speech, compromising US National security for access to Chinese markets, dumbing down political discourse and literally everything else, manipulating hundreds of millions of people to make them insecure and more vulnerable to advertising.

Meta is as evil as evil gets. All confirmed by insider whistleblowers. They paid to play, so they’ll get away with it. Just know what you’re supporting when you participate in their ecosystem.

These cases make the headlines, but they must be casually searching electronics and getting all kinds of private data, photos, videos, etc. They unlock your phone and download everything for their amusement and to violate your rights later. The fact that they’ll fuck with a lawyer to get his client’s info says volumes about the restraint being shown.

It might still feel like everything is normal in the US, but realize that you’re living in a fascist state in its infancy. The rule of law no longer applies.

The last chance to stop this is the Roberts Court making a strong ruling, and the ruling being enforced. Otherwise, the list of who can be rounded up and disappeared will just get longer and longer.
