Oh, that's because it ISN'T sustainable.
I don't think the United States, as currently constituted, will survive him.
That isn't a call for revolution, either: I just don't think there's any way for the USA to survive this. The Constitution was never intended to withstand this level of fuckery.
Assuming that we’re not DELIBERATELY bombing girls’ schools, has anyone articulated about how being not-PC has actually served us strategically or tactically? Like anything articulable or measurable? Or is it just “blow shit up, but with a douchey expression”?
He doesn't give a shit about the corruption but he sure cares that Noem's first priority was plastering her face on everything instead of his
The moment I knew she wasn't long for her role was the moment I learned Trump was irritated about the ad campaign focusing more on Noem than him.
First rule of Trumpworld is, you never do anything that makes you out to be anything more than a minor supporting character
Don't let the door hit you, you dog-murdering dimbulb torture grift queen
I lived near Gettysburg for a good portion of my childhood.
FUCK rural Pennsylvania. Like, with my whole chest, I will say that I'd rather stick toothpicks under my toenails and kick the fucking wall than ever live there again.
They’re not from the south, they just relate to losers
Back in his first term, somebody tweeted, "Who fires a dog?"
And, like...
Remember in Trump's first term, when he fired everybody "like a dog"?
That wording might be a bit too on the nose here, yeah?
Then they respond with like "it's always the faggot artists who complain, your jobs will be liquidated soon tho hawhawhaw". And yeah, we hate that. We hate people who do that.
It's not using a technology to create boilerplate code language, it's that shit. But AI is emblematic of that attitude.
Using estrogel as lube while I dilate, is this a thing?
Cis people never show the slightest love to effeminate men or butch women, except when someone wants to transition, and then suddenly they just love them.
theyre just all so fucking stupid and we were told we had to be respectful and treat their stupid fucking opinions seriously even though we knew its all bull shit and now here we are
Well, yes, trans people are getting drugs; yes, from entirely unregulated sources; yes, without counselling; yes, without blood tests; yes, they are self-administering; yes, without clinical oversight; yes, risking long term harm; yes, it is highly suboptimal.
What did you think would happen?
Fuck, they’re going to put Riley Gaines in charge.
Headline: "Trump says operation in Iran could last up to 4 weeks"
This shit will go on longer than Afghanistan. Got it.
Well, that certainly recontextualizes all the looks they give him after he force-chokes one of them.
Richard Hanania tweet: Has any theory in international relations been more discredited than blowback? It turns out you can just kill bad people and everything is fine.
I swear these people don't have object permanence
Blowing things up, kidnapping and killing foreign leaders, is good because it's Doing. Considering the consequences of Doing would be Thinking, which is weak and woke
Britain sacrifices their spoiled, lecherous prince to save the institution.
America sacrifices the institution to save our spoiled, lecherous prince. . johnfugelsang.substack.com/p/their-mona...
SCIF now stands for “Some Curtains In Front”
This is right. And people hate to hear it, but Joe Biden’s single most important task was to Trump-proof the US.
His task was to destroy the Republican Party to punish them for Trump, salt the earth over them, and implement big structural reforms to stop future R minority extremism.
And he failed.
Electing Trump the first time could have been seen as an aberration, a quirk of US politics that would not be repeated. But electing him a second time sent a clear signal to the rest of the world that it is imperative to reduce military and economic dependence on the US because it is unstable.
the worst aspects of the finance industry are emergent properties of the stock market being essentially a proxy casino for the rest of the world
and it's deeply funny that "prediction markets" and their users, by erasing the middle man, are learning in real time why that fucking sucks so much ass
Prediction markets: We're not casinos! We're something much, much worse
When I went to my last surgery, I had so many of the same fears, and I did a lot of the stuff you did-- getting a will in order, etc.
Glad to see you here, on the other side of your fear.
If I self-regulate, my therapist will be proud of me, and I'm just not ready for that.
So everybody with a hot take can fuck off because you're all wrong and I want a goddamn pony!
Which is to say: Children are intrinsically dangerous and untrustworthy and inclined toward rebellion unless and until all desire to assert their own personhood is literally abused out of them
I keep saying: America hates its children *so much*, so intensely and with so much wretched commitment
And the conservative movement is the forefront of whatever dark impulse is driving that hatred
And the majority of the rest of us just tolerate it like it’s fine
