Aww, you left JD Vance off the certificate. He'll be sobbing into his Chesterfield.

This comment took me down an interesting rabbit hole... He's a couch fucker? And conservatives say neopronouns are weird, smh.

He’s happy to go along with it if that’s what the group decides. 🙄

I've been saying that Trump and his 'ideas' on tariffs are just... completely, fundamentally broken and self contradictory, at every possible level.
He literally just doesn't get it, he doesn't grasp what you'd be taught in AP Macroecon or a first quarter of Macroecon at a college or uni.
Yes, of course, more competent oligarchs can profit from an engineered economic collapse...
But Trump and his immediate orbit are literally too stupid to understand why what they are doing won't work the way they think it will.
These idiots are very largely at the peak of the dunning kruger confidence vs actual knowledge curve, right before you fall off into the abyss of 'oh shit this is actually really conplicated and i am a moron.'
Of course, they'll never admit they are morons or were ever wrong, they'll just keep lying, misdirecting, and inventing new insane conspiracy theories with secret enemies thaf explain why they failed

Fascism believes its own lies, I guess. Even kings had court jesters to criticise them. Trump is surrounded by dumb yes-men. I do feel sorry for the poor people caught in the mess the world is in right now.

My only income is Social Security Disability Income.
I am quite literally having a call with a pro bono lawyer from a non profit law firm that specializes in Social Security matters in a few hours, after having gone through their application process last week.
I am just trying to pre emptively set myself for at least some kind of legal counsel... as it now seems inevitable that I will need one, given the insanity going at Social Security, thanks to Musk and DOGE not being able to understand how any of their databases work, and taking a hatchet to staff headcount and shutting down Soc Sec physical locations.

That’s because it won’t appear to him. He spent probably all of his life in a fucking dreamworld getting told how great and smart he is up until the point where he actually started believing it.

Its hyperreality, as Adam Curtis shows in his documentary mostly focusing on Putin... but the Trump admin is actually too stupid to realize ... that that is what it is, they fell for their own bs, sheltered and curated worldviews because they are so, so skilled at (really, privileged enough to be able to) surrounding themselves with yes men and sycophants and cult members.
I mean, a big element of it is falling for much of Putin's actually intentionally constructed hyperreality... but the Trump admin and MAGA people are actually too stupid to even been correctly just... generally cynical, and the result is honestly more akin to a 1944/45 Nazi movement that has leaders and followers mostly just still in denial/cognitive dissonance and grandiose cult like faith at the same time.
But the MAGA hyperreality ... isn't centrally planned or directed. Its ... basically an accidental consensus of a bunch of idiots screaming different kinds of idiocy into the void loud enough, and the kinda sorta generally agreed on hyperreality is whatever ends up echoing the loudest and most clearly.
They can't even project stability or competency, even as hollow suits, even as a false but semi-convincing front.
Just go look at the last two weeks ish of public appearances of Trump and his cabinet and Elon.
Half of them are having emotional breakdowns, manic episodes live on air, Hohman, whatever, the DHS goon leading deportations... either he was fucking drunk, or his dentures were falling out of his mouth, a reporter/news host asks him a question and he gives like a 75 word rambling response, maybe 10 of the words actually intelligible.
The inmates are running the asylum.
... Oh well, at least I've personally passed through the intense despair and depression phase of knowing this was coming, and am now just laughing at how truly stupid and farsical this all is, and how it is honestly, precisely what Americans deserve for either being idiot cult members, apathetic, or placing their faith in an utterly incompetent Democratic party that just still thinks its 1992, or squabbling over inane idpol differences.
We are apparently actually so stupid, irresponsible and/or more concerned with petty nonsense issues that we are just actually going to have to go through the fire of either overthrowing these malevolent morons, or just acquiesce to all becoming true debt serfs and burn to a crisp.

The US Empire failing to raise successors that understand how it works will end up playing a key role in its downfall.
Yeah, that's the best part. These people really are complete outsiders. You expect them to be evil, but somewhat intelligent. Instead you get 👊 🇺🇸 🔥.
They used to be more competent, funny enough.
