Americans are still too comfortable to revolt.

Canada NEEDS to replace political-parties with something intelligent, honest, and responsible!

Vague positive adjectives are not a plan.

Reminds me of that guy who deliberately books vacations to places that have just suffered terrorist attacks. Cheap as fuck and super safe since there are security forces everywhere. Not sure I agree with the practice, but can’t really fault the logic.

Forget Biden. Bernie Fucking Sanders could have been elected to 2 consecutive terms starting in 2016 and the US would still , right now, be a highly capitalist society with fabulously wealthy corporations, and basically the same number of billionaires. Americans just might have more affordable healthcare and education, that’s all.

“LOOK AT ME!!!” said the irrelevant person.

Look at these spineless creatures pretending like they still have free will. As if they didn’t give it all to Trump years ago.

To what end? Is he even hiding? He’s proud of this. You’re playing by yesterday’s rules.

How does that actually work with Musk and his merry band of douchebags in direct control of the mechanism by which the US government pays out money?

I actually think this is an above-average implementation of brutalist architecture. It is at least visually interesting.

I cannot for the life of me imagine being worth $200B and still being willing to kiss anyone’s ass, let alone Trump’s.

You can find the rich people by driving to the best part of town. If they stop you from going further you’ve found the wealthy people.

I hope he manages to appoint MTG as Fed Chair.

Oh are we still pretending like confirmation hearings matter? Trump could nominate a stale bag of potatoes for this position and still get it confirmed.

More than this, the idea that the US will reduce defense spending at the same time as others are increasing it is laughable. The whole “NATO has to start pulling it’s weight” thing will result in US military power diminishing vs the rest of the world and will result in more US military spending in the long term, not less.

Import tariffs are explicitly inflationary. Even the rhumor of them is arguably inflationary. Lowering the interest rate (which Trump is currently in the midst of bullying the Fed chair into doing ) is also explicitly inflationary.

All of the things he has done that actually pertain to inflation have been to increase it.

I’m pretty high right now but hear me out. I think Trump could be convinced to try to get Russia to turn over Kaliningrad to the US. It won’t happen, but if the right guy whispered it in his ear he would probably blurt it out.

‘Data’ is not neutral! The point of collecting data on teachers and schools was always about control, pushing down pay, cutting benefits and cutting funding

No, it’s not. It is actually possible to use this data wisely. Source: every other country with better education than the US.

A few naive people think that they might have some use in monitoring standards between schools, THEY DON’T. Pearson, Springer, and the other large education companies suck up much of the funding…not to the benefit of classrooms and students.

American skills issue.

I actually don’t think Trump will endorse Musk either but I could be wrong .

What was being done with the data was the problem, not the data gathering itself. All this means is that the data won’t exist. The underlying problems still will. Not a single thing you’ve said justifies the action you’re trying to justify.

He also added Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson, his former White House doctor, as a co-plaintiff to keep the suit before a Trump-appointed judge in Texas.

All the merits of this aside, this is some hilarious banana republic nonsense right there. You absolutely should not be able to file in bumfuck, Texas any time you need a lunatic judge to make an insane ruling, and any judge appointed by the fucking plaintiff should recuse themselves and be disbarred if they don’t.

Joke of a judicial system.
