Either put him in a home or in the ground. I don’t care which, but for the love of god, take away his Internet access.
My parents aren't much younger than him and every time he speaks I worry for their health.
Did your parents do insane amounts of coke, rape children and utterly ignore their health in pursuit of porkish hedonism? Then go for high stress bullshit with a family history of dementia?
Don't forget eating almost exclusively fast food so that nobody can poison your meals.
That's honestly probably the most rational thing he does.
Not that I'm aware of...
I'd say he's not a good metric then.
This dumb fucking child rapist
I believe man and fish can peacefully coexist!
They want artificial employees to discipline the labor market but what they will get instead is a deskilled labor force and business structures that are even more resistant to adaptation.
This is sleepy Joe's fault. I know it.
Have some self-respect. Don't feed The Daily Beast.
I blocked /c/politics over this, but it seems like none of the big .world communities care about tabloid sourced/clickbait headlines.
And, unfortunately, clickbait works. They always float up to the top of Active.
It's the only one reporting what he said
I love it when they follow Trump's name with his age. Fuck the gerontocracy
The pictures on the stands looks like .... no look exactly like the boxes of the Revell model kits
Can't you picture him and Stephen PeeWee Himmler Miller browsing the Google images together, looking for ideas for his Frankenbattleship?
"Oooh, look at that one. Wicked cool, right? I want something like that, but with bigger guns. And more of'em. And lots of real gold. All those other assholes got yachts, but I got a Trump-class battleship!"
Götterdämmerung?
Boomers in the 1980s: "Those damn robots took our darn jorbs"
Trump in 2025: "We're giving these jorbs to the robots"
Id love to give robots my job, if all my needs were met and I could do art all day.
Of course, what it actually means is none of my needs will be met and I will be put into a private prison or an incinerator.
You will continue to labor all day for reduced pay, while the robot pretends to do art all day
Reduced pay? If the rich get their way, we're going to be chattel slaves. They hate us so much and are so disgusted with us, even the worst wage slavery is too good for us.
They'll kill off the unclean and disabled in mass exterminations, enslave us for a time while/if their ai gets good enough, and eventually when robots are good enough to replace even slaves, the rich will hunt us for sport and do coloseum games on us.
People really underestimate how fucking awful the ruling class is. They are wicked, despicable people who genuinely think anything above slavery and bowing to them is too good for us poors.
There is a word for the future you are describing: exterminism.
Sadly the world appears to be heading that way. This is the most bleak future described in one of my favorite books- Four Futures:Life After Capitalism
It's a quick read . .and highly recommended. https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/59-four-futures

When reached for comment, White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly told the Daily Beast in a statement, “It’s sad that Daily Beast interns cannot grasp the concept of pro-growth policies that create jobs. Their minds are clearly warped after cheering on Joe Biden as he wrecked our economy for four years.”
The pettiness is unreal.
This is not "pettiness". This is all part of a multi-generational psychological warfare operation to brainwash the working class and implement totalitarian dictatorship — started by the Koch Bros, Roger Ailes, Rupert Murdoch, and other wealthy narcissists several decades ago — and the fascists are winning; facilitated by "liberals" who are mostly a manufactured opposition, financed by the same corporations/oligarchs.
No war but class war, and the capitalist class is winning.

I wish he'd fucking die already
Then we'd have President Vance and first Mistress Kirk. This cancer is going to take a while to cut out if it doesn't outright kill us.
Cult leaders need charisma and couchfucker ain't got it. He might end out pres in that hypothetical but he wouldn't have the implied maga threat behind him Trump does so I think he'd get a lot less of the agenda pushed.
