I think he has always been an asshole, but at least he was working on things that actually helped humans, like popularizing electric vehicles and lowering the cost of getting to space. Nowadays he mostly just brainwashes Grok into spreading propaganda.

Doomsday Clock is ridiculous garbage that only exists on vibes.

That being said, yes, we’re in a more precarious position than any time since the Cold War.

I mean, you skipped 5 and 6 but yeah that’s the easiest way to solve it.

Withholding federal taxes would be a better first step

Yeesh, you should take this bullshit tirade anywhere else. It’s not welcome on Lemmy.

Oh no the oven is too hot, guess we better turn up the heat more!

Because the constitutional methods for fixing a rogue presidency lie with the legislature. The legislature is complicit.

Unfortunately the Constitution is toothless when bad actors control anything more than like 40% of the government.

There’s too many Democrats for that. It will probably be a different, more scalable type of oppression. My guess is better analytics for voter suppression and gerrymandering.

It’s been increasing for many decades. The reason Trump is still in office is because the legislature has such a high percentage of crazies in it.

If you work with our enemies, we’ll punch ourselves right in the face! That’ll teach you!

It’s probably not, look at the capital E’s. But I’m willing to overlook that in general if that’s the only issue.

AI generated? I’m unsure, but the “almost typography yet not” lettering makes me think so.

The only news here is that it didn’t explode on the launch pad like Russian missiles have been recently doing.

Ah I see what you were going for, it’s a good joke

ICE is federal

When you are run by a dictator, you only need to convince one person to make a change. It’s madness.

They both have the capability of dealing immense damage to each other. There won’t be a war between China and the US because both have nukes (like you said) and orbital class rockets. Not sure any other explanation is needed.

I was part of a company that closed due to tariffs, and that wasn’t even bankruptcy. The damage is far, far worse than these numbers show.

Especially considering none of those three people are pilots.

These satellites are designed to fully burn up on reentry. There is effectively zero chance of that.

On the flip side, the aerosols created by burning satellites destroy the ozone layer.
