A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

You are giving it too much credit. The pedomango is not that bright.

Thinking of things in terms of what's good for the country might not be informative of the motivations here.

Most of the terrible decisions are a net positive in regards to the personal enrichment of the administration's associates and power-players.

As long as they spin it as a positive to the gullible voting populace, it doesn't matter what the administration does.

You do not need to be bright to claim that anything that happens is what you planned.
