Agreed. But it’s easier to explain to American Christians they are fully practicing a second religion with MAGA, rather than convince them all religions are crap.

Oh sure. Not hard at all.
But what’s he’s been lying about is:
-Everyone in politics sucks but me. -I’m the best at everything. -Dems are horrible. -Republicans that aren’t loyal are horrible too.
These lies have made him literally the only necessary component of MAGA by default.
Russia unquestionably used this to their advantage, but a campaign built on lies still remains weak if theres only one person those lies are centered around.
If Trump isn’t around to “compare” democrats to, it’ll be pretty obvious he’s lying about them. Even more so when the GOP realizes not a single other slime ball in his swamp has the reality TV experience or fast food charisma Trump does to keep his audiences engaged with endless bullshit.
Good thing their MAGA religion is made up. And while 100% they do think Trump is Jesus, he isn’t coming back from the dead. If anything, assassinating him would implode the GOP as it’s entire structure is now accupied by complete imbeciles who just copy Trump. No Trump, nothing left to copy.
That’s the thing about Fascism - it’s always just populism. Aka vote for popular guy, and do what he says.
Hell most neo Nazis still have a boner for Hitler despite him not being around. The best they can do is convince themselves Trump is just like their fave Fascism daddy.
Populism is weak, because it always rests on the popularity of one guy. Trump is that guy, and once he’s gone so is his populism.
Would be hilarious if his fans did him in thinking he’d be coming back from a cave on Easter, instead of shattering the entirety of the GOP for a generation. Without Trump, they don’t know what they’re doing, and they seem very eager to find that out the hard way.
Starting to, yes. But they at least still adhere to their political ideologies, instead of replacing them fully with the devout religious worship of a geriatric conman.
Is it an arrest if there’s no due process though? Honest question. What are they arresting him for that would ever see trial? What crime was he even claimed of committing for an arrest?
Because if there’s no trial, then there’s no due process. Andnif there’s no due process, then it’s not an arrest, it’s a kidnapping.
In which case he should be punching those fucks in the face.
Courts ARE slow! And that’s the loop hole people with shit loads of money use to make sure they are never punished.
They just Lawyer up with the most expensive ones they can find, then ask them every way they can contest the court. Then they pay to contest it.
Often waiting years for sentencing. Where in that time they get the laws changed and make favors so when you are sentenced, it’s a get out of jail free card.
Sometimes the Epstein way. Who ran a child porn and trafficking empire for decades and never served justice, nor will any of his clients.
Courts will remain slow as long as those who are paid most are great at slowing things down for their clients.
Like a President with 34 felonies and no sentencing. Or the same president committing the largest single national security breach in all of American history and will never see trial.
I want to believe in our court system. Because it was nice to feel like Justice was neutral and fair.
But over the last 2 decades I’ve seen dumptrucks of crime dissolve American society, and little to no punishment from a court too slow to fight all the money evil people now have.
In 2008, there was a financial crisis that the media says was handled well. Except the system that was to be put in place to monitor fruad, the CAT system, has had its implementation delayed until 2024. When it started to finally, finally be used to monitor tlfinancial errors. And there were billions.
Then the Trump admin delayed it’s necessity until 2027.
19 years later. A fix for the problem in Wallstreet from 2008. In that time, they just got better at hiding what they’re doing. And now it’s another house of cards that Trumps too much of an idiot to keep standing.
That’s not justice. That’s a joke.
You’re “forced” to pay taxes for the stability it provides the entire community.
Here’s a great study on what causes crime:
Overwhelmingly most crime and violence in a community is related to the ability it’s people have to earn income, housing, and healthcare. The very things our taxes are supposed to provide a security net for.
The taxes “forced” on you, to a point, are necessary for the stability of our communities. And the reason that stability is fading in most American cities isn’t becuase of illegals, it’s because of conservatives lowering and diverting tax revenues away from the social programs necessary to minimize crime. (Because those programs are “socialism.”) Also conservatives fighting to never raise the minimum wage for a generation of Americans. What are the conservative policies on housing again? Oh yeah, people now have to compete with corporations to get them, so prices will never lower.
People are generally happy to pay taxes towards social safety nets when they understand the basic economics of the security it provides. Especially when there is a scientifically proven increase in violence and crime that comes from the erosion of that security.
If you feel “forced” to provide basic economic security to other Americans for the benefit of your entire community, and it’s safety - then you don’t have to look far to find a conservative who is against charity. Just look in a mirror.
Based on US history? Yes. Based on the overwhelming majority of experts? Yes. Based on basic economic theory? Also Yes.
It’s a picture of the stock market melting down…
…from a time frame of 2021 and on.
Which implies the growth from that time until now is somewhat meaningful in comparison to the dip that specific time frame does its best to minimize.
Which to me, seems intentional. Kinda like you’re being a dick. Which is why I responded like one in turn.
If that was all an accident:
Then apologies for calling you an idiot and listing in detail all the ways I agree with you about the market melting.
Yep. There’s this strategy called “pump and dump.” It’s often used by the wealthy to inflate stock prices before cratering them to buy at discount.
Idiots like you see line go up for a while, and think:
- I’ll buy at a discount as it falls
Instead of noticing the “pump” part of the scheme, also visible in your image.
Unless you want to point to some economic windfall happening between 2022 and 24 that explains all that growth, it is very likely from downsizing, buybacks, and off market darkpool price manipulation. (Which now happens regularly these days with every blue chip stock around 5pm).
Historically, Tariffs lead to a recession in 1830 (15% Tariffs), a Depression in 1930 (20% Tariffs), and now with a 40% plus Tariffs on basically everything, we are likely to see the complete disembowlment of the US Dollar and all the market dominance we built with it.
You better get your completely misplaced premature celebration out now, because you are going to be eating crow the rest of this year, and far into the future. There’s no amount of bullshit Trump spin that will bring our markets back. We are unquestionably fucked.
I will gladly check back here in 8 months to provide an updated chart, seeing as you will certainly be too embarrassed to do so.
You must have read what I wrote in order to know you don’t care about it enough to say anything. Which no offense, if you also did the same during the last election, explains why you’re so defensive. Because you can run away from my opinion, but you can’t run away from the results of this election. No matter how much you complain about it.
I the US 2024 presidential election, there was two names on the ballot for candidates likely to win:
A) Person that wanted to tax billionaires B) Person with 34 felonies for trying to steal a previous presidential election.
Two choice for a vote. B was picked because TV told everyone that was the smart thing to do, while actual smart people were ignored as too woke.
So now it’s very all of our fucking business that TV got people to vote B.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. If you were stupid enough to vote B, or not vote at all when B was on the ballot, then don’t be surprised and sad that said action have now enabled the disappearance of people to prisons with no due process.
The only thing Trumpesque is whining like a bitch now that there’s consequences to B winning.
The choices were:
A) Brown Lady B) Constitutional seppuku
So no one here is telling you how to vote - but most here understood what the consequences of voting B would be.
Did you?
Or are you just now mad to find out crime grandpa is indeed gonna crime? Because no one is going to have sympathy for that level of ignorance. Best you can hope for is a 'Let’s go Brandon" style of whining you could adopt and use to bitch more about the outcome of the election with.
You know those scam phone calls from India pretending to be Microsoft? They overwhelmly target the elderly, because their success rate with them is so high. The elderly are without question more gullible when it comes to being taken advantage of over the internet and social media.
The elderly control every branch of our government. Their gulliblity is now something that lets all of us get taken advantage of - not just themselves. They are collectively buying MAGA Hats for the country because some guys on the internet told them it would make America Great. It’s clearly not, hasn’t, and is a scam, but now our entire country has to pay for it.
Even the best, most well trained guards cannot provide protection if they are too old to lift a shield. Our entire government hasn’t been able to lift that shield in decades.
Which explains why 9-11 was “Never Forget,” but Columbine is “Always Forget” for every school shooting that’s happened since '99.
I was a Sophomore in highschool when Colombine happened, and now my kids get to see others their age die yearly in school shootings while President crime grandpa tells us it’s because of trans kids.
It’s not boomers as a generation that’s the problem, it’s that generation is just now old to provide security. At worst, they are too proud to admit their age causes issues in their ability to lead and protect this country. But it unquestionably does.
Tesla spent two decades building it’s brand only to lose world wide appeal in a matter of weeks.
There is a very clear trend in what Elon touches turning to shit.
X is clearly not recovering to its previous highs.
And Tesla is likely now fucked too.
Simply because neither of these companies have a path forward to reaching the value they had without a worldwide consumer base. Supply and demand determine value and both of these companies shifted their demand base from billions of people world wide to millions of people brainwashed in the US.
The active consumer base for both products is now American, and only so much value can be extracted from Americans compared to the entire world.
Add in a pending US economic crisis to that smaller user base of both companies, and there’s absolutley no hope either survive or recover to the value they previously had.
Invest in either if you want to lose money in the long run. Otherwise short both.
Very well said, especially the snake oil comparison.
It’s because billionaires are pussies. They will get upset over the slightest inconvenience, or insult, because the money they have has insulated them from the consequences of their actions.
They’re so used to being praised, and getting their way with everything, that the thought of people not like liking them upsets them greatly.
And the dislike is warranted because most billionaires use their money to buy social credit instead of earning it. They don’t add anything to society, they just pay as much as they can to get artificial praise from it.
For example, Musk bought X, and used it to promote his own BS to make himself popular.
Alternatively, the idiot could have simply rented a blimp and thrown the same 44 billion out of it all across America.
That would without question make him more popular than X has, to the point where people would likely build statues of him.
Instead, he cowers in fear of the word CIS on Twitter because it hurts his feelings.
Now, since he can’t remove the word CIS from reality, he gets scared people will hate him for expressing that desire. And they should hate him, because that opinion can only be formed in a bubble where you don’t experience reality. Aka extreme wealth.
Billionaires use their money to remove themselves from the consequences of their actions.
Free speech is the easiest way to express what those consequences would be in a more natural order.
They fear the violence their greed and behavior has created. They’re just too stupid to understand how one leads to the other.
Reddit is proof of how sensitive they are to this fear. The simplest gesture of protest can go a long way to upset them. Because they’re huge cowards.
Oh hell yeah. Thank you for this! I was unaware of the insult. Great to learn, and much appreciate the info! Glad to know you’re fighting the good fight as well. That was a great time hilariously good exchange you had with them. You called it out perfectly haha
I’m aware. I got them to shut up. And I distracted them from doing whatever the FSB tasked them with.
They only way you can fight trolls like that is by wasting their time. Hopefully in a way they realize their work isn’t worth the pay.
(But appreciate the heads up!)
Been on Reddit for 15 years. Can confirm it’s pretty much a bot hellscape now.
Years ago I noticed the quality of front page posts drop in terms of their basic spelling and grammar. You never used to see typos in what hit the front page because mods actually cared about the quality of what was being posted to their subreddits.
That’s far past gone now in all the top subs. Mostly because the mods there have all been compromised as shills that get paid to gatekeep selected content from bot controlled posters. Now all they care about is volume rather than quality.
That’s why most of the default subreddits and most of what hits the front page is the same regurgitated content with dick-riding commentary that doesn’t discuss much aside from just agreeing with the upvoted group-think of the post itself.
Overall quality in all the top 100 subreddits has declined exponentially in just 5 years, as the mods now heavily favor bot accounts posting more, rather than community members posting gold less often. So the best members of most communities just left, as there was no reason to contribute content that wasn’t going to be seen against a flood of mod approved click bait.
Reddit is now a soulless faceless husk shambling around as if it’s content is from a real community of people, and not a corpo filtered humonculous.
Engagement there, the good kind. Is now rare at best, if at all. And even worse - I’ve found dozens of sites that will just let you buy upvotes and accounts, so making it to the front page just takes some clever marketing spend.
It’s sad to see such a colorful community of people from around the world get invaded and slowly taken over by a body-snatcher like corporate mimic - but that’s the best compliment I can give to what’s left of Reddit.
The level of short sightedness in this pursuit is laughable, even if it’s coming from corporate.
You pirated a song?
Well then, we’re going to cut off your internet so that we can never effectively market anything we make to you ever again.
We’ll gladly lose out on all the revenue you normally spend on corporate movies, tech, and content because we’d rather hyper fixate on the pennies of lost revenue that mp3 cost us, than ever worry about the macro economic conditions of the real people it comes from.
Fucking LOL.
