It’s not brow-beating anymore, to point out cause-and-effect; and honestly I couldn’t give fewer shits about what these people thought of me if I had chronic constipation.

Y’all fucked around, now you get to find out the hard way. The world won’t magically become a utopia by refusing to fight, and you won’t be spared when your time comes.

I’ll happily sit back and watch from my still (largely) functioning democracy the next ‘Fall of Rome’.

I mean, DOGE-style was right there..

True, but at least they’ll suffer for it?

At this point, I’ve largely embraced apathy:

Yup, pretty much!

It looks like a cross between double-typed characters from an old-school typewriter, and an optical illusion where the seemingly straight lines of the exclamation cast squiggly shadows.

Either way, IMO it’s quite busy and visually unappealing. Gove me a good ol’ !? any day of the week.

Plus, depending on context !? and ?! could mean two entirely different things; to me, the former is a sign of incredulity “What the fuck!?” - while the latter is a yelled question “Can you hear me?!”

Finance laws, especially those related to the Citizens United case, are a massive hurdle.

Until the Supreme Court can be reigned back to sanity - things will likely remain terrible, as a majority will be needed there to re-rule on Citizens United - along with Roe, restoring the Voting Rights Act and a whole heap of others!

Just listing out those three made me physically ill; don’t let anyone who voted GOP, voted 3rd party, or refused to vote off the hook. They are all equally culpable for the slow death of democracy in the US. They are the ones that granted Trump THREE Supreme Court nominations in one term, and who knows how many more. The man is on track to likely appoint a MAJORITY to that court BY HIMSELF.

He could very well declare himself King at that point, and the court would likely rubber stamp it.

At least in hindsight, it proves her wrong and that they can’t win without the unions?

So like, maybe the DNC will be self-aware enough to reflect upon this and pivot back towards more progressive, worker-friendly policies rather than the neo-liberal garbage they’ve been espousing for the better part of the 2000s?

I almost burst out laughing at the absurdity of the above, but in the words of Jim Carey’s character from Dumb and Dumber: “So you’re saying there’s a chance?”

Firehose* of disinformation, which is par for the course.

The complicit media companies rush to cover every absurdity he spouts, thereby passively covers up the fact that his own rushed policies are likely the ultimate culprit of this crash!

His federal worker hiring freeze, and forcing the head of the FAA to resign/step down apparently led to there only being 1 flight controller in the tower; where there needed to be a minimum of 2.

So Trump falls back on his usual strategy of deny early, deny often, deny 100 ways.

..and y’all less than one month into his 48(+?) month term.

Take your pick: Lies, Damned Lies, Statistics

It’s might be even worse then that; if something costs $1000 currently, with a 25% tariff could it not end up costing 33.3% more ($1,333), so that after the 25% tariff, the value returns to $1000?

Thanks, I’ll check them out!

Based on the description, this is the one you’re referring to?

Is this the one?
