I think more in the "let's do feudalism again!" way was the message, not switching to communism.

We already are in tech feudalism.. lets be honest about it.. do you own appletv, netflix, prime, ms office, lightroom, etc?

You pay to use it while they own it! Same as big business buying up housing and forcing us to rent.

No, but I don't give them any money either.

I take your point though.

TBH, I don't own a single one of those. :colbert:
 
Trump: -

"Don’t be Weak! Don’t be Stupid! Don’t be a PANICAN (A new party based on Weak and Stupid people!). Be Strong, Courageous, and Patient, and GREATNESS will be the result!"

"PANICAN"?? Lol! wut?

No problem, Donnie. You're being more than stupid enough for both of us. Oh, and we already have a party based on weak and stupid people. We call them Republicans. A party based on weak, stupid people with Donnie as their poster boy and Fuhrer. Sounds like whoever wrote that posting had zero self awareness.

He thinks we're stupid if we're concerned about the daily losses in our retirement accounts, the increasing potential of a recession, job losses, higher prices all because of his obsession with trade deficits. The people are only reacting to the most anti-business conditions a President has implemented possibly ever. This from the supposed "business man" who is real skills are stiffing people and bankruptcy, along with being found guilty of multiple counts of financial fraud.

Lol! so full of lies and bullshit! Hey Donnie! Where are these 50 countries who were coming to heel and begging for tariff relief?

I can only imagine what "drug cocktail" his handlers have him on to keep him standing.

Wild that an upper division course would be so big. Kind of glad I didn't get into Cal then and went to UCLA instead lol (Berkeley was my first choice school, UCLA my second).

Yeah, UCLA instead of Cal, which had the math department that brought us Ted Kaczynski, was maybe a better idea. This was the 1960's. I don't know when you were in the UC system. When I went to UCLA a memorable moment was my passing Lew Alcindor in the hallway, we were walking in opposite directions and there was quite a flow of people. Of course, he was head and shoulders above everyone else, recognizable as hell (for me) and impossible to miss.
 
Dave Portnoy rages at Trump tariffs, dubbing today "Orange Monday"


This is exactly what people like Portnoy voted for. He can just sit back and eat the shit sandwich he made. If only there had been clear evidence before the election that Trump is a complete fucking moron.

Portnoy should be apologizing for endorsing Trump instead of whining about the consequences of his own actions. Portnoy can continue to have the day he voted for. It's shocking how well he can talk without a face!

He also said it doesn't mean he wishes he voted for Kamala. He's fine with it.
 
It's funny to see the people vote for lower taxes only for MAGA to raise tariffs instead which are basically higher taxes!

LMAO!! Can't really expect any wisdom or intelligence from the people that couldn't tell the difference between Obamacare and the ACA!!

There are complex things out there but tariffs aren't that hard to understand.

Now Obamacare and ACA are the same thing, right? There is no difference.
 
Russian State Media: - "Well done old man!" Russian state TV revels in Trumps destruction of the economy.

Surely Trump wags his tail from happiness!

Trump is dumb enough and will likely not get that they mean it sarcastically and double down on his actions. It's because he sees every word said about him as a positive or at least as something that can be twisted to be a positive. If they are praising him, he feels smart, and if they are speaking negatively, he is pissing people off because he is so strong.

Prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Soviets dreamed of causing economic chaos in the West. They wanted to prove that American Capitalism was deeply flawed. Who would have thought that several decades later they're dreams would be fulfilled by a Russian asset named Donald J. Trump. Putins investment in Trump is paying off better then he could have ever imagined

Hey Donnie! ... You might be an anti-American POS if our enemies celebrate your destruction of the US economy

Pretty much nails it.

Yep, stupid is as stupid does.

Now, I was a bit surprised when I heard that Obama liked the fact that the ACA came to be called Obamacare. Then I realized that that was OK. Why not?

The issue is China, if they see Putin pulling more than expected, slash half of Russia and bye bye access to the pacific. It can turn the dream into the darkest nightmare ever. And the first true loss of Russia.
