"a threat to press freedom"

angry goose

The freedom to what? The freedom to what motherfuckers?

Nope

They went straight for a time out in the corner. But the supreme Court has a door in that corner and keeps sneaking him fudge pops.

I don't think we can be sure, no. But it's a very safe bet that the Kremlin is giving the majority of the orders that suit them. The problem with Trump being so dumb is normally you'd look at guile and such to find a direction. But everyone around him knows how easy it is to manipulate him. Whoever gets in his ear last, whoever promises the most to him (whether that comes to pass or not), they're all also factors. But these plans while insane and stupid to almost everyone, have not been created by him. They're too involved for that.

Why not assume at this point that breaking the entire system is the purpose? Winning a trade war would benefit Trump's ego, but the people pulling the strings want it all burned down. Just because the media keeps playing this as traditional economics and politics doesn't mean it remotely is.

Dude can't even charm his wife.

I think your assessment is pretty spot on. I did feel like they were aiming to tackle race a little further with Isaiah (continuing with that theme from the Falcon and Winter Soldier) but then never really directly addressed it. It might have been weird to all be about civil rights but a much stronger theme would have been nice.

I did still enjoy it, but I think I enjoyed Falcon and Winter Soldier a bit more.

I really wanted to enjoy it more than I did. I like the idea of Sam as Captain America and I like the questions it raises about race in this country. But it felt like a TV show. It felt small and kind of claustrophobic in scope. I have a hard time placing exactly the problems with it

I lost mine on Thursday... I'm trying to think of it as a comedy of errors, but I admit, it stings a little.

That's in the system we're used to. They're banking on now taking over the entire fucking thing. Losing some fake money to gain all of the real power is definitely what they're lining up for.

Voo doo....economics

It doesn't necessarily give them more money as the tariffs regulate what we're required to pay a supplier for a good. There's not like a government fund it goes to or anything (unless my understanding is wrong). But not buying US products outside and inside the states is basically accelerationism on the economy. Which will hopefully wake people up so we can take this shit back for the people (and not just destroy all civilization which is what recent accelerationism has been about). The faster people rise up the less we have to rebuild, hopefully.

Everyone should be boycotting the US, especially those inside of the US.

It's not a hard science. It's still a real science. Unless you're a scientologist then your opinion doesn't matter anyway.

That's because Trump's US is actually Putin's US. And Putin wants Europe weak and malleable.

Come on UK. We need a Bond. James Luigi Bond to right this ship.

That's assuming he's even considering that there will be future elections. Or at least elections in which the oligarchs have a chance of losing (I'm still betting Trump plans on living forever and never ceding power because narcissist).

These stories constantly operate on the assumption that Trump is a rational actor with reasonable goals. Neither is remotely true. He's a fucking idiot who rarely fully understands what he's doing and Russia and oligarchs are easily working his ego and pushing him to destabilize everything.

Yeah, I also should have used "sparkling authoritarianism" it would have been funnier and more contextual.

The camps aren't on American soil so it's only sparkling fascism.
