  • Trump says things are 'going very well' after worst stock market drop in years over tariffs

    Jump

  • What makes you think the stock market crashing is not his aim?

    I think it's a combination of both that and stupidity, of both him and the oligarchs. Yes, they like manipulating the market and being able to buy up stock when it's down and it was working for a while there, but they didn't bargain on just how far trump would go and how much he would fuck things up. trump figured he could cow other countries they way he does Americans and since he can never admit he's wrong, he'll keep doubling down even though it's not working, causing further havoc. I don't think he believed China would retaliate with a 34% reciprocal tariff, and he's not going to listen to the oligarchs when they tell him it's time to back off. They installed into the presidency a monster they can't control

  • They're both basically the same word.

  • Tesla shares rise on unconfirmed report Elon Musk could be leaving DOGE post soon

  • Is this how quickly people forget? Never again buy a Tesla, or Tesla stock, and never stop letting those who do know what you think of them for doing that.

  • 800K Oklahomans stressing over Social Security — as insiders warn of ‘system collapse’ within 90 days

    Jump

  • Thank you for getting it, both on the age group voting stats and that the leopards+faces meme/community is about trump doing things that hurt his voters specifically, not things that harm our most vulnerable people throughout the whole country regardless of their politics.

  • Exactly. Gloating about the demise of a major safety net of the United States does not belong in the Leopards eating faces community because it affects everyone in the country and especially the elderly and disabled, not just trump voters. People in every state are upset about it, not just people in Oklahoma/red states.

    Best wishes to you and your brother.

    edit: I'm actually glad to see the downvotes on this comment because I'm sick of people using "boomer" as an insult (which is why I replied with this as a retort to the poster who did that). Thanks for those recognizing we're in a class war, not a culture war and downvoting it!

  • And ... ? This affects the whole country.

    Jump

  • Yep, I'm seeing more and more blaming all Americans no matter that almost as many voted for Harris as for trump and no matter how hard so many worked to defeat him. So no surprise they're fine with innocent people losing their social security.

  • I wouldn't gloat over this one, because a huge number of people who didn't vote for it will also face the same consequences and many of them will suffer and/or die because they depend on social security for their main or sole income.

  • Trump says US will 'go as far as we have to' to get control of Greenland

    Jump

  • It would be more effective to threaten sanctions if the US proceeds if the goal is it to deter them, then if it doesn't work, you impose them as punishment and a bargaining chip to get them to pull back.

  • Trump says US will 'go as far as we have to' to get control of Greenland

    Jump

  • Everyone knows that. The point is to create a deterrent by making it clear that they are 1) taking the threat seriously and 2) already preparing and planning to defend, IOW not fucking around. Sending some extra troops to the island and/or flying some jets around the area on a regular isn't a bad idea either.

  • NATO countries should put out a statement that they are ready to defend Greenland from any incursion.

  • One in five Americans want their state to join Canada amid escalating trade war: poll

    Jump

  • I don't want my state to join Canada (it's a red state far from the border), but I want to immediately move to one of the states that would be joining Canada. So I think the poll results would be even higher if the question was asked in a way to include people who would answer like I did.

  • Because the DOJ who would charge them is being run by the same criminal mob.

  • "Why is everyone in MAGA going after Waltz when it was @PeteHegseth@SecDef that sent all the classified stuff?" posted former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), a longtime conservative critic of the president.

    Why not both? Or all for that matter. They were ALL violating the Federal Records Act, a crime.
