Americans want to watch charismatic people solve moderately difficult problems on a weekly basis. That’s it. And a group of fomo execs and techbros who don’t watch TV drove one of the most profitable industries in the US off a cliff rather than accept that.
Look what happenes when a TV show releases every year, with more than 8 episodes a season.

The use of "surge" here is so fucking grotesque. Trump is using Iraq War language against the citizens of his own country.

This is a screenshot of Graham Planter in a conversation, six years ago, about how the Totenkopf was an SS symbol.

If you are one of the people on here who actually believes that he did not know what the tattoo was until just recently it's because you WANT to be lied to
also, how does Platner claim that he had no idea what a Totenkopf was or that his tattoo was one until a week ago when this Reddit conversation he was part of 6 years ago was all about a soldier with a Totenkopf where people discuss the difference between an SS Totenkopf vs. a Punisher skull etc.

Also, it would be hard and fast. We’re so interlinked, there’s no waiting for ships from China to stop or something, there’s no stock piles us/Canadian/Mexican goods in the other countries, it would just go poof.
If he removes USMCA exemptions the economy might actually crash

Yes, poof is the formal economics analysis term for what happens to an economy when you smash the world‘s largest trading relationship (us-can)

I love that our entire national security strategy apparently rests on them not remembering that they were regularly accusing us of being a cartel-puppeted narco state less than 6 months ago.
Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

You might say this will, among other problems, look weirdly lopsided, but I think the obvious implication is he's totally planning to do the West Wing next.

the weak Anglo mind cannot comprehend "building more houses"
Of all the housing charts not made by MMI, this one is my favourite. It shows how, despite rhetoric, housing shortages aren't a global phenomenon, but they do seem to be an Anglo-American one.

The wisdom of the crowds.

Tonight once again showed, there is nothing to gain from grovelling to this grotesque man. Everything he touches dies.

i genuinely recommend people watch the latest law and order because man, if that's what they're putting out in the good times for the admin, things are going to get a whole lot worse in pop culture for the admin
lmao there's an entire implicit monologue about the unmentioned admin trying to pressure DA Baxter into dropping the case
Law and Order is doing anti-Trump episodes if you were wondering about the state of pop culture:

"the past" is just a wacky place where everything was Natural but Terrible but Good, and onto which any particular aspiration or desire can be safely and indisputably projected.

okay so. setting aside all the rest. this is a good example of the weird "back to the past to the future" aspect of reactionaries. they want to structure families "like we have for 99.9% of human history" but they also want the .1% of history where "billionaire military industrialist" is a thing

I know this makes me a bit weird but the thing that really bothers me is how reactionaries don't know anything about history and don't care to learn.
Also age of marriage for peasants in medieval Europe was a looooot older than people think.

Entire goddamn thing is a psyop for Maine tourism board. Thought more about Maine in the past few days than in my entire life. Been craving fucking oysters. It’s an op!

My favorite thing about Trump is that every day he says something that implies he’s either senile or a liar and then 40% of the country are like “This is the most qualified leader we’ve ever seen”
