“collapse of trumps efforts to restrain netanyahu”… right. If netanyahu did this against US pleas, then why is the US shooting down the Iranian reprisal? Seems like they’d take trump more seriously he didn’t just support them regardless.

…quickly followed by “Why are there so many refugees trying to get into our countries?”

Between this sort of thing and pursuing policies that accelerate climate change, it’s almost like they’re trying to create misery to exploit.

To be fair, the trump crew don’t observe any real security anyway, so all of the more competent competent competitors likely already know our secrets.

I mean, assuming that trump doesn’t just tweet them out, he’d absolutely sell our secrets for some graft.

Because Tesla stock is essentially a meme stock and always has been. It’s not based on the actual boring making of cars, but rather the strength of musk’s bullshit powered reality distortion field.

There’s always some vaporware next big thing that he pitches, but never actually delivers on which is used to justify their ridiculous valuation.

I’d rather have it replaced with a sovereign wealth fund…

I’d rather not have it replaced with a sovereign wealth trump slush fund

The reason that sovereign wealth funds have cropped up recently in discussions is that trump really, really wants to have an unaccountable slush fund like his authoritarian buddies.

It makes like zero sense for a country like the US

We can fix this! Quick, destroy the FDA so the problem will never be seen again!

Since it’s a money hole just like all of the other “AI” companies, who’s funding xAI and what are they getting out of being a slush fund for musk?

It’s a valid question if you live in a state that will only accept forms of ID which cost money to vote. I don’t know if that’s really the case anywhere, but if it were it could presumably be the subject of a lawsuit.

With the current SC, I expect that they’d find some bogus rationale why it didn’t count, but under a law respecting court, it’d be reasonable to require such states to provide suitable IDs at no cost.

They’re installing them into the agencies to act as comisars to enforce political purity and root out dissent.

It’s a pretty obvious next step after them gaining control of the treasury payment systems and people’s private data. Can’t have internal pushback on weaponizing these to attack Americans more broadly.

Yep. It’d be inconvenient for them to note that the funding issues are primarily driven by increasing concentration of income which falls above the Social Security withholding cap. If they’d just remove that cap, then no issue.

Well, the competent ones are zealots pursuing terrifying things. I’d say they’re more damaging. Head of the OMB being a great example.

No, they didn’t. When did they have a chance to pass a constitutional amendment?

If nintendo went bankrupt, their assets and ip would be bought by some other company, and they’d be the ones bringing the lawyers.

Corpratist, center right infotainment networks?

Wow, there are people who actually believe that in real life? Huh. Good luck with your glorious revolution

Well, that would be a good way to guarantee republican dominance, yes.

If one of them gets into power, Canada might just pay for that wall.

This assumes that the mass shootings are a problem that they’d want to solve, but it’s not since mass shootings are useful to them. They’re flashy, get lots of media coverage, and feed a sense of chaos and societal breakdown. With that, they make the case the current system can’t keep you safe, and we need an authoritarian to bring order, which they’re happy to provide.
