I’m sorry if I’m a fake comrade, but I could never get behind this. You could promise me fully automated gay space communism and I’d reject it if we had to call it Elonist-Muskism.

I don’t know your life experience or what will work for you. But I spent 20 something years of my life gagging at beans. Now I will eat beans in most forms, except refried. I felt just like you, the texture was gross. I started with chilis and soups that had beans in it, but also other stuff to not focus on. Gradually I tried more and more bean dishes and have grown to enjoy them.

Mr. Vonnegut, please when are you gonna make Slaughterhouse 6? Or will it be Slaughterhouse 5: 2?

If any Democrat tries getting smug to you and saying “See? I bet you wish you had Kamala in charge now” about Gaza it’s a.) okay to punch them and b.) okay to also ask them why they only care about stopping the genocide now that Trump is the one doing it.

I bet there’s a weird millennial out there who is nostalgic for Trump’s first term but doesn’t like his second for some reason.

it’s the decade of the great recession almost no place on earth

Not to take away from your main point, but the 07-08 recession was more of a western phenomena. China was relatively insulated from it along with plenty of other countries.

Is there any real benefit for the US creating a sovereign wealth fund? Isn’t that functionally what the IMF is? I’m sure Michael Hudson could give a 90 minute lecture on the topic, but doesn’t the US have so many tools to inject dollars around the world this is pointless.

Perhaps this will be the slush fund in lieu of USAID and NED.

If it’s that easy to be compromised, maybe the firm didn’t “hack it”, maybe Meta let them in with the mandated backdoor.

I can’t verify this, but the narrative is “more people attempt illegal crossings under a Dem regime so of course the numbers are higher.”

The WTO’s dispute system has been hampered since 2019 when the first Trump administration blocked the appointment of judges.

Trump is a bastard man, but it is always hilarious how he undoes the “rules based international order” liberals love to pretend exists.

At the potluck with Dougie and Chasten?

That’s assuming Trump is in control and not a faction of capitalists that latched onto the Trump train.

I love the theory that Trump doesn’t know tariffs can go higher than 100%.

The question is really to whom are the debts owed to. If it’s IMF then you’re still screwed

I disagree that who you owe dollars to matters to the US. The IMF is a wing of US led imperialism, even if it’s “independent.” Refusing to pay dollar debt from Mexico or whoever is a realpolitik move because it hurts the financial class. They’re the real rulers of the US.

I could see the Virtual Torment Nexus being a key domino on the path to SkyNet.

Gimme the Mott Wood campaign or Black Dog Forrest.

Babe please, can we dismantle the oppressive liberal capitalist hegemony

No, kill the anarchists and rehabilitate the fascists.

Or maybe the entire Senate doesn’t want to work with Rubio anymore.

Overton Window. Trump has so many deranged picks that Rubio by virtue of being a sitting senator is a normal choice.

Americans could never dream of being so based.
