Making the poor, poorer, that's Republicans core value.

Gergle Merf.

Now if it had a gas heating function to warm the drum ajd dry the clothes - that could be functional could be fire.

This is populist violence and outrage that would be better directed in an organised bus-to-washington program that would only attract the politically committed (and ideally more disciplined).

They could be briefed on the bus.

I don't know why. The USS Liberty incident proved that Israel does this sort of shit.

They're a far right government.

This is him normalizing the accusation, because he knows it will be made at him in 2028.

If Newsome and others are successful in their defense/cases on this, Trump can say "they did it, so I can do it" in 2028 (giving the media their sane washing angle to investigate and content create about). If the governors he goes after are unsuccessful - he'll further prove his absolute power.

It's win win.

Trump is backed by billionaires whose new model for America is a bunch of distributed states, with different areas that are ruled by those billionaires who will become monarchs.

That's what the Behind the Bastards episode on Curtis Yarvin said.

Delete because I said something that involved explosions 💥

Yep, taking the poorest and restricting their disposable income is pretty much how you kill an economy.

I tend to vote for the Australian Greens party. They never seem to win the US elections though.

Lots of people will be happier the day Peter Thiel dies... He's disliked in the same range as Musk, without having anywhere near the public presence.

Everyone on the planet needs to send the same message to Russia: Your warm water ports in Crimea will be useless, drones would just sink your fleet each year.

Same for any mining minerals operations you managed to set up. The prize you're trying to capture is no longer worth keeping it. Go home.

The change in the nature of war has made the spoils into liabilities. Drones will keep the world's borders set for some time now.

Not quite, because the reason they don't want to buy from overseas is because they've had three decades trapped in a deflation crisis. So every time they buy anything from overseas it shows the weak buying power of the Japanese yen (which is a product of the deflationary "lost years").

...so there's a unique economic context for why they're acting this way.

Hey, it's that thing that contributed to the French revolution!

White.

So Americans need to switch it off and on again. Gather up new founding fathers and mothers, write up a new constitution and declaration of independence - write up documents for a new federation between states...

Create a back up United States. Declare the old one null and void. Stop interacting with the old one. Start interacting with the new one.

Call all this something benign sounding. Try not to go to war about it. But yeah, you all need to switch this shit off and on again.

I'm just fucking with ya, I'm old. Walkmans were a thing when I was young, phasing out portable boom boxes that used large non-rechargable D cell batteries.... All LEDs were red back then, because it was the only color available. The internet hadn't been popularised yet, and "yo" was a cool new way to say hello.

Be funny if hackers hacked them to kill CEOs.

Also, are those two circles the display? That's a pretty cool design. I really like old technology.
