That's why jackasses do the shock and awe technique.

By making such a spectacle at the onset, folks don't notice the slower, boring work of a fascist takeover. It's mostly HR work, firing people who believe in the law and constitution then replacing them with corrupt psycophants.

2026 has been scarier because people have got used to things like Trump buying Russian fuel just a couple months after sanctioning India for doing the same.

2026 is scarier because a dude getting shot and held in prison where he sleeps on the floor for days before he's able to see a doctor to get the bullet removed doesn't get a reaction.

2026 is scarier because people are numb to Musk has been put in charge of the future of our military. The dude who obviously plans on becoming a weapons manufacturer with factories in the US, Germany and China... He literally has a deal to get a trillion dollars if he can get TSLA to 9 trillion in market cap in the next decade. It's currently at 1.5 trillion. He's building a workflow for a robot army and has a satellite internet that is already critical military infrastructure.

2026 is scarier because CBS news has been taken over by billionaire oligarch propagandists and most folks haven't noticed or don't care.

...and he removed his shirt like manly Putin upon his trusty steed. Muscles rippling like hot borcht, he held Zalensky in his big burly man arms and whispered softly, "Nyet."

According to msn.com and thestreet.com it's a real tweet lol

Such mall ninja vibes

Nothing that any sane, educated human would view as antisemitic. Anti-Netanyahu, sure. Anti war-crimes, yes. Pro hamas, no. Pro peace, yes

This is not an anti-jewish stance at all.

I'm so glad this will be fed into Google AI to aid in results for Aircraft refuelling. It is very relevant and important for all things regarding aircraft and fuel.

This is a states rights issue if there ever was one

Trump is demanding mineral resources as well as forfeiture of the 20% of Ukrainian territory currently occupied by Russia in exchange for enacting some unspecified plan to get Russia to stop invading Ukraine.

Zelenski said sure, but he needs a security guarantee that if Russia continues invading Ukrainian territory the US will help defend Ukraine. This very reasonable

Trump refuses to offer that guarantee and offers no details on any plan to keep Putin from invading further.

From Zelenski's perspective this is the US stealing his country's mineral wealth for a Trump handshake, which is completely meaningless. It's a bad deal and is unlikely to help the people of Ukraine

It's sad that I was worried how this would go.

I almost feel relief, but after all the bastids from Bondi to Patel to Vance are gone.... Well I'll still feel anxious AF, but I will be less anxious

Nobody should use that app. It is a scurge to humanity.

Folks need to make the switch to literally anything else

Hell yes! Imagine how much snow can be cleared and potholes can be filled with that "consulting" money

I hope folks hear this.

Our food system is begining to fail. How do we get this out like we kinda did the bees.

We need to tie those together.

And the mosquitoes and malaria/dangue.

Stuff that effects folks directly... Plague and famine

But we gotta keep doomerism and cults-of-death-for-some-greater-afterlife at bay.

There's opportunity abound, we just gotta grab it. Green new deal stuff.

I cant wait for the shareholders to say no.

He plundered the stock to buy twitter and is back asking for even more... What a dickhead

56 billion from a company that made $15 billion last year (a big record). He wants 3.73 times the entire ducking company's net on their highest year ever's income.

...just did the math. Tesla has netted 27.1 billion since 2011.

He wants a little more than DOUBLE the total cumulative earnings of the whole company;.

I hope he gets the boot. The company will be better off without him.

This is some full-on stirrin'-somes-shit probably-russian/chinese-originated bullshit meant to divide folks up. Real rednecks would never hand their liberty to some two-bit lyin sack of shit New York Billionaire landlord's son swindler like Trump

You must be on some weird ass instance. I see tons of reasonable anger at democrats and Republicans alike. I don't see upvotes for baseless tribal click bait like this tho

"while Costco was seeing a direct impact from tariffs on imports of some fresh food items from Central and South America, it decided not to increase prices 'because they are key staple items' for its customers."

Is.... Is this a capitalistic megacorp... Acting like a good guy?

Squint

I maintain doubt... Unless... 👉👈

Most rapists havent been convicted of rape

Most rapists also havent bragged to Howard Stern on his show about walking into beauty pageant dressing rooms unannounced to peep on young girls.

Most rapists havent been recorded bragging to Billy Bush about grabbing women by the pussy without their consent.

Most rapists arent on video dancing and chatting up Jeffery Epstein at their own club, pointing out a woman and saying "she's hot" and later at that same party grabbing a woman and patting her on the butt.

Most rapists havent been convicted of defrauding people in order to steal their money to pay a pornstar to not talk about the extramarital affair he had.

Most rapists werent president when Jeffery Epstein died in prision despite being on suicide watch and under 24 hour surveillance. The tapes mysteriously dissapearring and guards not saying anything.

But Trump has done all that (except being convicted of rape, of course.)

That last step of verifying is often being skipped and is getting HARDER to do

The hallucinations spread like wildfire on the internet. Doesn't matter what's true; just what gets clicks that encourages more apparent "citations". Another even worse fertilizer of false citations is the desire to push false narratives by power-hungry bastards

AI rabbit holes are getting too deep to verify. It really is important to keep digital hallucinations out of the academic loop, especially for things with life-and-death consequences like medical school

I'd like to believe he's wearing that shirt for the lullz and will feign surprise if approached.

Has he tried convincing Netentahu to not do a genocide? That'd be a lot easier than convincing a bunch of folks that they should support a genocide
