This is better than before but, to be fair, not all billionaires are horrible people. Google estimates there are about 2800 billionaires in the world and if I scan Wikipedia's top 10 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wo...s_Billionaires) most are not bad people. I dare say that of the top 10, 6-7 of them have done more good than harm - Ballmer, Gates, Buffett for sure are positive, Bezos, Ellison, Page are debatable with Musk and Zuck the only clear evil ones. I don't know about Arnault (LVMH) and Ambani.

It only takes a few billionaires to be truly evil though to do some real damage to the world.

Now if billionaires need to fear for their lives in the same way that many of the poor and working class do then I'm sorta ok with that. Their kids go to private schools with little risk of a mass shooting. They never live with any doubt that a single medical incident could bankrupt them etc.

Rapists, pedophiles, traffickers all look out for each other. When one becomes the president, look out

Make rapists immune again? What the fuck is going on here.

It looks like the simulation took a wrong turn in November, and now we're living in a parallel universe. Kind of reminds me of the show The Man in the High Castle.

Here's some more news from just today...we're fucked

Honestly, it's at the point where we need to secure our borders. Not to keep fent from going south, but to completely close off all connection with the U.S.
It is by far the biggest threat to the world at this point. Worse than Russia, worse than North Korea, worse than Iran. I truly don't care about the economic implications. This is a threat to our existence.

Super want to have kids into this world :badpokerface:

Yeah I kinda thought post covid things were gonna get cooler but I guess not.

I personally think we're at the point of no return with Trump, meaning there's nothing we can do or say to prevent him from escalating and annexing Canada (if he wants to). He's literally a madman surrounded by yes-men and yes-women. There's no stopping him from using military force to annex us. That's what makes all this scary as fuck.

The only thing we can do in the near term is strengthen our ties with Europe and NATO because even Europe is starting to wake up to the real possibility that the US is no longer an ally and will hand Ukraine to Russia, allowing Russian aggression to continue. What's stopping Putin from trying to annex a NATO ally? Nothing

I feel like N.American news media didn't really report this all that much (if at all), but JD Vance's recent "New sheriff in town" lecture to European leaders at the Munich Security Conference really didn't go down well with European leaders. And apparently, it has been confirmed that Vance even met up with the AfD -- the German far right party -- leader to discuss "matters".

So you guys are absolutely right on this -- even if Trump were to somehow drop dead all of a sudden, the world would not find itself out of the current chaos bcos Vance is every bit as much of a nutjob as Trump is. FailFish

We are nearing the point where we need a, 'Et tu Brutus?'

I think there will be a military coup in the US before he ever tries using them to annex countries

I would hope so, but I'm not counting on it. I'd rather have an exit strategy in place and not need it than the other way around.

I hope you're right but I don't believe for a second there will be a coup. The people in the US govt and military leaders are proving to be some of the biggest cowards on the planet under this fat retarded orange fuck. If they are scared to challenge him what else are they scared of. It's insane.

Trump thread 2.0
 

Sloppy US government cannot gets it HR work done right.

Elon calls DOGE the symbol of government efficiency? Hahha


The morons fired 300 staff last week. Then they realized after the firings that those 300 staff at the National Nuclear Staff admin department managed all of the U.S. nuclear weapons.

A chaotic weekend of re-instating 300 staff. Elon and Cheeto’s staff did not even know those staff looked after the American nuclear arsenal??

Talk about efficiency, Elon hahah.

The firing of so many employees critical to America’s national security and global nuclear security shows how the administration is rapidly executing its quest to reduce the size of the federal government without understanding the full impact of its actions.

There goes the morale of those employees who were fired and then hired again.

The military might be too far gone, too far right, but he's making a lot of enemies within the deep state, so you could see a coup from within the intelligence agencies. I don’t believe for a second that the CIA and other agencies don’t have compromising videos and pictures of Trump. Lets not forget about the pee video filmed inside a Russian hotel.

Exactly what a foreign agent would do. Both Trump and Musk seem to be getting marching orders.

If I were one of them I'd nuke my own capitol.

Americans haven't cared about any of the other things he's done, they're not gonna care about any of that either.

They are trying to rehire all the nuke staff but doge deleted all there email addresses.

Same shit happened in Tesla, he fired the Supercharging dept and then had to rehire. Very efficient indeed,!

The Americans are good at winning battles, but they've lost most wars since WWII.

If they were to annex Canada by force, the world as we know it would be finished. It would be a completely unprovoked attack on a like-minded country where the majority of people are white-skinned people. China invades Taiwan. Russia invades Eastern Europe and Israel will be in an all out war against the Arab world and Iran. India and Pakistan will go to war. A nuclear holocaust would surely follow because there would be no guardrails.

Elon uses a tactic with everything he does that is common in the tech industry and Silicon Valley in general... he used it at Twitter and he's using it now... it's called zero sum... anytime they take over any business, they fire everyone and stop everything, assess what they think is important and then hire back. You can google about it, it's great for shareholders and looks amazing on a balance sheet in the short term as the people hired back do 10x as much work as before.

Unfortunately for him the government is not a business. Also unfortunately for him he's not very good at it.

andrew tate, minister of masculinity

How about putting Andrew Tate at the Department of Energy? :lawl:
