absolutely wild that Taco Trump sent him into a blind rage like this

Until the last three days, I’ve actually been fairly optimistic.
While slow, the courts had acted to curb Donald’s worst abuses. The tariffs wreaked havoc, but we saw when the bond markets reacted that someone in his administration was able to make him see reason. (My own retirement has recovered its losses from February.) Elon Musk was finally being thrown out of the administration.
But here we are now, and this is genuinely scary stuff for absolutely everyone that isn’t independently wealthy. The reaction of California and the courts will dictate how things proceed.
And, for me, I just can’t get around the fact that this is probably happening because a meme hurt Donald’s ego.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a meme causes Trump to send troops somewhere, only for it to turn out to be a trap.

Vlad claims Trump would 100% puss out before personally leading the invasion of Russia this coming winter.

Trump and Steven Miller escalated the situation because they needed to feel good about themselves after Elon fucked them both over. This is probably what they planned for the elections in 2026/28.

I’m not going to blame the voters for the Democrats’ decision to throw the election, personally. They knew Harris was unpopular with groups they needed to win swing states. They knew Biden was unpopular too. It was their decision to crown two weak candidates without a primary and state publicly and unequivocally that they wouldn’t change anything.

Thank you, you’ve articulated my feelings perfectly. The Democrats ratfucked everyone.

I honestly don’t understand their intransigence in the face of a looming fascist threat unless they just didn’t care.
And judging by how Harris’ campaign raised billions and still ended up with $20,000,000 in debt, it’s clear they were spending like drunken sailors and having a wonderful time not running a serious campaign.
