And yet here we are, plunging cartoonishly downward already.
@georgetakei A lovely phrase for a hideous reality.
@georgetakei Or a Putin Puppet following orders.
@georgetakei
What can the GOP say? They have GREAT BIGGLY Leaders?????
@georgetakei A special idiot or an intentionally evil person. I’m not sure which one Trump is. Maybe both.
@JoelKlebanoff yes, he could be both, but he can't be neither…
@georgetakei
@georgetakei It almost feels like there was intent here. If the moron had just gone golfing we'd be in better shape.
The point I was making to @soc_i_ety is that societal collapse is intentional. Societies collapse because they or neighboring societies intend them to collapse./gen

@georgetakei We call that 2/3rds of a Truss, impressive! (it's about 3.8 scaramuccis to the Truss)
@georgetakei I think is not fair to leave out the millions of idiots who supported and voted for him.
@thefwguy @georgetakei
More precisely, who voted a twice-impeached former president and a convicted felon into office.
@cqd_sos @georgetakei oh no, also the ones who didn't vote at all deserve to be considered responsible.
@thefwguy @georgetakei
Of course. It's like it was Super Bowl and almost half of the players refuse to enter the field of play, leaving the outcome of the game to those who do.
@thefwguy @georgetakei They are a hive mind. Just use they/them when referring to Mango Mussolini to make them even more upset.
@georgetakei Trump's in the pocket of Big Acme.
@georgetakei
(Personally, I'm waiting for them to give him his free anvil.)
@georgetakei It takes a very special idiot to bankrupt a casino; twice
@crenquis @georgetakei And the people he has as advisors are the ones that would invest in the casino the second time hoping for a different outcome.
@georgetakei Gotta give him credit for doing it in 4 weeks. Last time it took him 4 years to screw the country this bad.
@georgetakei Imagine what is possible in the next 204 weeks. The Mariana Trench will look shallow in comparison.
@georgetakei I thought we were bad with Brexit in the UK
But dayum!
@staringatclouds @georgetakei Brexit is a solvable problem. Just come back.
@Augustulus Believe me I want to, I didn't want to leave
@staringatclouds @georgetakei You know us, the USA always has to one up the UK.
@georgetakei even Liz Truss has been overtaken.
But we got rid of Liz, that was the difference.
You Yanks can keep her btw, like the Tate boys....
@georgetakei Guess it's time to buy stocks again, they are on sale.
No. If you're here, bus overland and plane over-ocean as applicable coach tickets out of here are a strong buy! If here, put your deeds, journal, phone, planner and wallet on a bag on your person and leave the country now. Don't return until the year 2072!/gen
@georgetakei Well, if you count Elon it takes two i guess...
@georgetakei The guy bankrupted casinos! He's definitely the man for the job.
@dshan @georgetakei "The House always wins", unless the House is run by an idiot...
@georgetakei My suspicion is that it is deliberate. He knows the tariffs will trigger inflation and tank the stock market. He also knows that the government staff cuts will hurt the economy. It's deliberate.
@AlgoCompSynth @georgetakei As Nathan Rothschild so famously quipped, "You must buy when there is blood in the streets". If there's not enough blood yet, well…
@punissuer There was once a time when rich folks could fuck around in the markets and the working class did all the finding out. Every time that happened, there were protests, and eventually governments let the rich folks skate, but put laws and agencies in place to detect and prevent that exact type of fucking around. 1/2
@punissuer
But this time is different. Because the government has sent all the previous detection/prevention agencies packing. The rich folks, many of whom are actually *in* the government, are free to fuck around and the blood in the streets will be ours. 2/2
