Yes, he's the real deal. He has the math worked out, he's got a cohesive plan, he's made alliances, he's got a ton of energy behind him, and he just nails every interview - even hostile ones

Yes, it's going to be an uphill battle. There's going to be a ton of institutional resistance... But if he can force policies through anyways, it would so huge for the entire country

I think you're looking at this the correct way - these people are totally impulsive and incompetent, but they're not acting randomly

I think Trump genuinely wants to be peacemaker, he was advancing talks and holding back the MIC (who have wanted was with Iran for decades)

So he goes to camp David, and in a matter of hours "Iran can't have a nuke, they're close, they can't have it"

I don't know what they told him, but I think Trump's plan was to do a big bombing run, declare success, and force Israel to back off before working towards a peace deal

And yes, Trump just tweeted out a cease fire and expected it to work, but the US does have that much power over Israel's ability to wage war... He told Netanyahu to cut it the fuck out, and we'll see

The MIC wants this to go forward, they love supplying arms to Israel, but theoretically Trump could cut off arms shipments to them

But to be clear, this is not about the nuclear program itself one way or the other... It doesn't matter if the sites were destroyed or moved beforehand. Peace talks were ongoing, Iran wants back into the fold

What matters is if a peace deal can be reached, and I think Trump genuinely wants it. The money behind both Israel and the US definitely want war

We'll see who's in control

No, this campaign was everything you could ask for

His core platform - free and faster buses, free childcare, rent freezes, and no one making less than $1M will be paying for any of it

It's simple, it's hard to fear monger against, and it's things the people want. The best they had was "but he's Muslim"

Can't you just get a new launcher? That's day one of getting a new phone for me

Does this picture count as a meme too? Because Vance also looks weird and creepy in it

Did you see the parade? That was after people spotted ads for crowd fillers in the wild

This administration struggles to organize anything

OMG really? That must have been so hard for you

People were named after the steak sauce? That's wild

I'm also very sick of the clickbait titles. But in the case, he did actually lose it... I was doubled over laughing, the whole sequence is amazing

Okay, that flavor maths out much better, I can picture it

You don't understand. They never stopped, they aren't distracting from Gaza... They needed another war to keep Netanyahu in power

Okay, I'll eat shrimp tails sometimes, hell I eat the end of chicken bones until they get all splintery

But you say leftover... Do you just like, pop a handful in your mouth one by one? And is this something that's surprisingly satisfying, or just ok?

No need. Zohran killed it, he probably wins by double digits in round 2

Now we're letting AI impeach our president?

Well, at this point let's give it a shot...

Then do orcas count? Because I just can't think of anything from the depths I find that interesting, things just move so slow down there

But I have orca facts for days

I don't have one, but now I'm thinking about it

Lol hell no.

We had all that before! The old solutions were better in almost every way but cost. It also didn't fill the world with micro plastics

You can still get real soap, it's better for your skin. You can still get real clothes, they're far more durable and lasts hundreds of times longer. You can buy real gum, I haven't found any to try yet but apparently it doesn't keep flavor for as long, but it also doesn't fill your body with micro plastics

Obviously there's exceptions - like glass made with plastics are an actual modern marvel. Some healthcare devices basically require certain plastics

Jesus... That is so fucking bad

I guess nothing is certain until it happens, but I really don't think you understand what they're doing over there

They basically opened up the Treasury and said "tell us what you need to produce weapons and we'll figure out the money later". They're rearming Germany and a few countries are talking boots on the ground in Ukraine

They're turning the war machine on for Ukraine as a bulwark. They're really not holding back

No, it's actually crazy.

Clothing. Chewing gum. Carpets. Detergents (meaning most "soap"). Paint. Glue.

Packaging (obviously), but the paper and metal stuff usually has a plastic coating

If you aren't sure what something is made of, it's probably petrochemical... And even then, there's likely some coating or binder
