It's just a glaring lack of critical thinking brought on by our (sometimes willingly) ignorant masses. Satire is dead in this country because we didn't have the capacity to comprehend it.
Essentially all of America's problems are because its population is so uneducated. We want simple answers to complicated questions because that's the best we can hope to understand. 52% of us can barely read at a 6th grade level FFS. The ignorance then allows us to entertain some pretty dark thoughts leading us to Trump.
Never ever forget who those people were. They were okay with Trump's racism, the saber rattling, the promises of tyranny, the misinformation, his chaos, his love of Putin, the weird relationship with Elon Musk, Project 2025, the kleptocracy, the nepotism, the bullying, and even his promises of tariffs. Now that the American markets are crashing and the world hates the US she finally drew the line. She'll always be a piece of shit and will embrace the next conservative who talks like a dumbass at her level, so long as they don't go too mask-off I guess.
Stay strong and hold the course. Citizens from all over the world should denounce the Republican party as the source of all this evil. Make their voices so loud the corporate owned media can't shout over the din. My stupid American counterparts need to learn Republicans should never hold the levers of power in this country again.
I just finished printing this basket for my bed since there's no room for night stands. It's made using the last spare bits of filament I had lying around but who cares since you normally can't see it from most angles anyway.
IIRC Sriracha had an exclusive provider for their peppers as they provided a unique taste to it. The company then decided to demand lower prices from the farmers causing them to have a falling out. The sauce was unavailable for a long while and when it was brought back it no longer tasted the same, at least IMO. I still eat it occasionally but not as much as before.
The orange buffoon doesn't see the US isn't the only trading partner Canada and Mexico have. They've obviously prepared for this ever since he tried doing it during his last presidency. Maybe the pain he inflicted on average Americans will finally make them start mobilizing against him in even bigger protests.
Don't underestimate the lengths these people will go to deny reality. Unless they're personally affected they won't care and even then they have short memories. All conservatives are like this.
I know five or six people who work for the TSA, and every one of them are MAGA
And yet it's very likely they won't put two and two together to figure out the sitting Republican president is responsible for their weakened union. Still, this couldn't have happened to more deserving people.
International relations standpoint aside, she offered no benefits or relief to the economic woes of the working class other than telling them to suck it up because everything's fine. She ignored progressives in a pathetic attempt at currying favor with the likes of Liz fucking Cheney because she thinks conservatives would actually pick a Democrat over literally any Republican candidate. Everything about her screamed corporatism, the status quo of deadlocked improvements in Congress, and a lack of willingness to meaningfully change things for the better.
She is the quintessential establishment Democrat who would rather campaign for fundraisers than actually act on meaningful legislation. Despite all these (and many more) flaws, I voted for her as she was the only meaningful opposition the DNC could regurgitate out because Biden was too proud to stop his reelection campaign early on. For California governor, I'd want an actual progressive with the intent to make things better over her any day.
After my latest contract gig expired, a friend called me up telling me about a job fair at his company that was interviewing and hiring on the same day. Before this all my engineering jobs were temporary 2 year stints working for major biomedical companies but under job agencies so they can avoid paying benefits and treat people like me as second class citizens. We had different color badges and wouldn't be welcomed to company parties or have bonuses like the regular employees, it was demoralizing.
I think the Northwest Passage being referred is the Elizabeth Islands which is a geographical choke point not unlike the Strait of Malacca. If the Arctic sea ice fully melts then it'll be a very important location to control traffic going to and from the Eastern Seaboard. The only way around coming from Russia is to go East of Greenland. Trump wants Canada and Greenland to act as a shield against Russia and to a lesser extent, China.
Frankly the question of transgender women in sports should be answered by those in the women's sports associations and their players. Anyone else is simply not invested enough to have a fair perspective on the matter. Let's be honest here, how many people even watch women's sports to begin with? Still, it sucks Newsom sounded off like this.
I'm sure repeatedly shocking the market with surprise tariffs will be good for the overall health of the economy... Right? Surely the market will bounce back every time tariffs are lifted?

Is my American-centrism showing? My bad, but the majority of this problem is from here unfortunately.
