“A republic, not a democracy” was a line made up by the right-wing media as an easy hit to say that voting for the Democratic Party was fundamentally illegitimate and now we also get to have it from the left as well because the left takes its every cue from the right
If anyone can become what SpaceX claims to be it’s Honda and Mitsubishi.

their incompetence is awe-inspiring in the worst way possible.
- they can credibly threaten the Strait as far as insurers are concerned without a whole lot the US can do to convince the insurers otherwise
- the US has no plan and has no strategic guidance besides grandpa's cottage cheese brain
- bibi does not give a fuuuuuck about oil prices
this administration started this war because they fantasize about war like a 12 year old COD player. They wanted bomb a country into anarchy because of how 'awesome' and 'masculine' it is.
They are the biggest, most insecure idiots in American history, and we live with the consequences.
Can't believe I am saying that the Bush Administration took Iraq seriously, but Jesus Christ, in comparison.....
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
What a great time to be entering the work force 🙃
At least I’ll have stories to tell.
so:
a. the Strait of Hormuz is def actually mined
b. they did ZERO planning for this
c. they're freaking out now that it's leaked to the press and trying to ensure us that 'no it's not'
unless he breaks his own base I think we're getting Lincoln and FDR wrapped up in one package

We profit 7 trillion dollars (equivalent to $4000.00 2026 dollars due to hyperinflation) and can barely afford a month of rent in our 1 bedroom, 10 person apartment.
you ever think how this is all because america elected a centre-left black president once, and the right never forgave the left for it
americans don't have coping skills so even mild adversity is catastrophic (i am american)

This is absolutely unhinged behavior on the part of the State Board
We're doing the 1973 Oil Shock, but *voluntarily*, because it not occur to Dear Leader that starting a big-ass war in the Middle East would affect energy prices.
But hey, it was only Thailand. I remember speaking at a conference at¬ tended by leading U.S. officials and economists who emphasized that while the collapse of the Thai economy was a shame and painful for Thailand, we shouldn’t forget that the whole Thai economy amounted to only $185 billion dollars, less than the city of San Diego. Clearly it was no big deal. None other than President Bill Clinton seemed to agree, for as the international community, led by Japan, struggled to put together an emergency financial package for Thailand, Clinton declined to have the United States participate, saying the whole problem was just “a few glitches in the road” to global prosperity. But if it was a hiccup for Clin¬ ton, it was stomach cancer for the Thais, who remembered that when Mexico had had similar problems in 1994, Clinton had moved heaven and earth to put together a rescue package. The Thais also remembered their help for the United States in Vietnam, and that the United States had all along been pressuring them to convert to the gospel of free trade and open financial markets. As Supachai’s comment to me in Shanghai suggested, the Thais would not soon forget these “glitches in the road” and the United States’ lack of response to them.
you get the feeling that american wants the benefits of being hegemon without the responsibility, sometimes
I wonder where the first American-Turkish confrontations will occur. The post-Trump US will probably embrace green energy asap so there wouldn’t be much interests in the Gulf.
Maybe Suez or Gibraltar, or even British Indian Ocean Territory. If NATO survives Trump maybe the Aegean.
I feel like most of his energy would go to something worse than January 6th in that scenario.
Sharice better start making moves soon. the few times her staff have talked about her future career goals they've all said she wants to be a Senator.
like THIS is her year
saw this clip and it made me watch the movie.
holy shit does it make the weariness in the CIA Superior's words have that much more weight.
IMO Silicon-based fuels should be really looked into when we start developing the moon. Processing lunar regolith would leave you with so much silicon and oxygen you'd struggle to store it. The only scarce component would be hydrogen, which can be source from polar water-ice.
Lunar regolith is, typically, over 40% Oxygen, over 20% Silicon, 10% Iron, 7% Aluminum, and 1% Titanium, with the metals making up 10-20% each of the Maria.
It might not be economical until space launch supply chains are developed on the moon, but that moon dirt is valuable too.
i do think the more he ends up breaking things on an international level and the bigger the response, the more likely it is we see a Yoon 2.0: electric boogaloo after a Blue midterm surge
I've been saying since Election Night 2024 that these dumbfucks are going to destroy themselves out of sheer stupidity and evil and you'd all better start believing.
nothing makes me more nervous than the driver behind me following so close I can't see their front bumper.
I wonder what the chances are for the AI/Housing Bubble Crash to bring about a Farm Crisis?
That could really push us over the edge.
The Republican Party is going to get worse before it gets even worse. The young conservative is the most bloodthirsty, because if he were anything less he wouldn't be a conservative
I have some very strong views on how the GOP needs to be treated after they lose power.
I hope the next presidential administration and Congress is willing to adequately deal with them.
