Trump / Musk (other than DOGE)

[MOUNTAINH33L]

MAGA: We're cool with some Nazi shit.


fucking pathetic.

Why? According to trump, China, with 1.4 billion people pays $39 million and the US with 325 million people pays $500 million. If true do you think that’s equitable?

You believe a lot of bullshit

Whatever Musk intended with this salute, the never back down, only double down MAGA approach has been very effective at binding MAGA in a common cause and, whether or not intended, moving the entire group to increasing extremes of behavior and beliefs.

Even if you give Musk the unearned benefit of the doubt here, I hope this doesn’t get turned into a litmus test salute for MAGA to prove their loyalty.

Trump's use of tariffs have been beneficial in some regards. The stated use and the actual use haven't aligned and I suspect they won't this time. Where I disagree with him is in his use of tariffs as a threat, and the first line of negotiating at that. I don't think he will use them as he publicly states. Say what you want about him but he did major in economics at Wharton. I'm not claiming that made him an expert, but he does understand the negative effects indiscriminate use entails. When all is said and done, I don't think we will see tariffs used in a shotgun manner other than with china.

Yeah, he is an economic genius

The Trouble With Trump's 3 a.m. Phone Call

The president pondered a reasonable economics question—but who he reportedly dialed for answers raises questions of its own.

The ADL lost any moral authority may have had.

I find it interesting that he couldn't get accepted at USC where he wanted to go when he was a rich white male applying to a school that, at the time, was taking about 70% of their applicants but managed to transfer into a school that took less than 30% after a relative called in a personal favor from an ex room mate. I'm sure that bachelor's degree he has was well earned.

And his rationale isn’t because they are engaged in unfair trade practices, but “because the two countries were allegedly allowing "vast numbers of people" and fentanyl into the U.S.”

My wife just read me this joke from somewhere online.

There are only two types of people, people who believe Elon Musk is the next Henry Ford.

Lol

“Hope for healing”

 

[MOUNTAINH33L]

I...don't hate that. Good for 47.

 

[StrangePackage]

I hope he means it. But I'm almost certain he just reversed those people in his mind.

Damn. You're probably right.

 

[Healing]

Lol

lol, indeed. The problem with persons who believe in the collective "people" is they repeatedly fail the "could it possibly be as bad as I think?" test. Repeatedly.

Also, the ADL may see this as a circumstance they must respond to, and at the same time fear immediate retribution from what will be amongst the, or the, most revanchist governments in US history.

Or not

$trump.x has played everyone backing him for suckers. A complete and utter money grab and grift, sanctioned by the GOP and SEC, and ignored by the DOJ.

So, I can just make up my own form of money?

Apparently.

I will thank Trump if he inadvertently exposes the entire crypto industry as a fraud.

 

[superrific]

Wait, did ADL just say it was fine to make Nazi salutes so long as they are done in a moment of enthusiasm?
