Oh we're past the point of no return. The question we're at now is how much damage can we mitigate from here forward.

The US has killed any of it's power it's had in the world beyond military and economic. The power it had through friendships and trade deals, they're fucking gone. Trade deals have been shown to be temporary and based on whims so why would anyone do it. And friendships? HAHAHAHAH.

So now it's economic... and oh look, we're about to start tearing that apart and probably look at a depression that will be compared to the OG Great Depression, while the trade deals are going across the world and China is definitely willing to step up to the plate to be the "adult in the room" in trade deals.

So last it's military power. And with getting rid of officers to only have loyal ones... that means strategy and tactics will be going out the window for "We have a big hammer."

That's the US's interaction with the world, which most of our lives we've been in the dominant position. So that'll get rough. Now on to the things internally that DOGE has gone through and cleared out, it'll take years to unfuck the stuff already done.

The worst case scenario, I would argue, is that this ends in the destruction of the world via nuclear war within less than an hour. This is what I am scared of the most.

I just want to know ahead of time frankly because I know where the nuke is likely to hit in our city and I'm out of the insta-vaporize zone so I want to get closer.

… Is Steve Bannon suddenly one of the good guys?

No. He's just been pushed to the side and is pissy about it. I'll appreciate his involvement in resisting that maybe he can pull off some of the supporters, but at the end of the day, he's still an asshole.

Theoretically maybe the "savior" won't shoot, maybe.

Look, it's not a good deal, but hey, I'm trying this optimism thing out. Don't think it's working.

That said, anyone who makes a deal with Trump hasn't paid attention to any of the deals he made in his last administration that he'll drop them when they're inconvenient.

Mump

No no, they're on to something. Especially after confirming RFK Jr. How long until Mumps come back?

Living in it is like that individual, but that individual is head of the household, has all the money and keys, has locked the door and is wildly armed.

The racism never went away it just learned to hide behind code words and shared looks.

Ah yes, the Lee Atwater strategy to bring in the Reagan administration. It's not blacks they're against, just "Welfare queens."

I was generally happy with uBlock before, but then I found the dashboard and checked all the boxes for Annoyances and oh man! So much better!

So... can you hook a guy up with info on this?

That's a world with hope.

We'll just get an infectious form of super-cancer that's spread by mutant mosquitoes.
