Wanna bet he’ll put up one of his kids (hell perhaps even Barron?) and bend the whole sycophantic side of the GOP into endlesdly propping them up?

In 4 years, you may simply get Trump III. I want to say this notion seems absurd, except that it absolutely isn’t.

Let me put it this way: we will see the true beginning of WW3 in the Baltics. Trump will predictably not act upon that and the response will be 100% up to Europe itself.

That response better be an armed one, and quick too, or we all better start practicing cyrillic here in W-europe.

Regardless if we are lucky, “only” tens of thousands will die. More likely it will be millions.

So yeah, Trump kinda bedazzled us there, no way around it. Won’t be until the people who voted him in will start hurting personally that they’ll finally realize they’ve been conned. But too little too late.

Of course it does. The majority of advertising works this way.

“Rich people’s yacht money.”

Just replace 99,9% of instances containing “the economy” and substitute. Makes a lot of things click.

I know it’s coincidence, but Revelations talks about seven seals to be broken for the arrival of Armageddon. Spoopy.

Luckily, they were just orphans and widows, so no one will miss them /s.

Israel is now worse than Nazi Germany, because they do this shit openly and without shame (and repercussions).

I liked this joke better when it was about async. Fits the purpose better.

I’m pretty firmly in the second category only. I have had the first a few times, but when whatever thing you were so stoked about inevitably fries or fails a few weeks in, you quickly learn to stop doing #1 altogether.

Totally in character for dolphins though

Well I’m up for that. It’s just one of those things that are kinda hard on your own.

We’re already seeing it. Jobs are going down because AI allows companies to do the same work with less headcount.

There is no reality in which the workers actually benefit though. Never has been. When machine looms and steam engines came into being, the workers didn’t get any richer or had to work less for the same pay either. Jobs disappeared, most people got other jobs, some better, most worse and the unluckiest starved.

History always repeats.

If voting actually changed anything, they wouldn’t let us do it.

Woops, correct!

The same was said about the siege of Stalingrad. No “nice people” survived.

They were eaten.

I forget in what series or movie it was, but they captured a zombie and pulled all its teeth, making it completely harmless. Probably in Walking Dead somewhere.

What’s the total tally of hostages killed by Hamas vs by Israel?

If I was these people’s family, I would absolutely dedicate my entire life to breaking Netanyahu’s power or even get vigilante justice somehow. Israel may have “won” the war in Gaza but they’ll be paying an extremely heavy price for DECADES to come.

I suppose technically he’s more of a revenant. Higher hit dice.

“work”

The checks and balances here are supposed to be that if you don’t like the crimes a president commits while in office, you don’t vote for them again.

If you’re still allowed to vote after that president does what he does.

Yeah, we now have the groundwork for anyone, regardless of party, to act with complete impunity at the very highest level. There is no way that doesn’t backfire spectacularly at some point.
