Let's go to Argentina, where somehow, a man versed in Austrian economics awtook power. It's working quite well, given the history.

@seeds' posting of Ricky Gervais comes to mind..
"Religion's greatest trick wasn't making people believe there is a god
but that idea is not subject to ridicule, that it was sacred"
the same can be said for maga and trump's greatest trick..
we shouldn't ridicule them? hahahahaha, what the fark?

Between sinking the stock market, making Canadians feel like it's Poland August1939, causing recession fears to spike, blaming Ukraine for leaving Russia no choice but to invade, and having your top security officials plan attacks via text like teenage girls planning mean girl moves via Snapchat, it seriously feels like we're living through the superpower equivalent of The Producers. Perhaps there's some massive payoff for Trump if he can turn the US into Argentina (pick any period from 1972 to the present,)?

cheers, cracker-concise wordcraft @mick66. standard comment around my hood re the US - 'if it wasn't so serious it'd be funny'. On the basic empathy level, fuckingidiots just don't get it. You axe a job or sepatrate someone from their family, do you say 'it's regrettable but necessary' and publicly provide support.. or do you smirk, jeer, find a photo op, and make a point of saying the job wasn't worthwhile, and the person deserved deportation..? just fucking revolting. and embarrassing for a once great nation to have been dragged so low.

Hey thanks.
As I've mentioned before, I firmly believe that the cruelty is the point, as opposed to being unavoidable or a necessary evil (in this case, as applies to the manner in which the firings have been carried out, but you can see it in almost everything they do.) And the appetite for it, for both them and many of their supporters, seems limitless.

This is real interesting it's about population growth in the different states and how the population is shifting/growing faster in traditional republican states and how this effects how many seats each state gets in the electoral college and house of representatives, this is adjusted every ten years by result of a census, the next being in 2030.

Basically the trend is moving towards favouring traditional Democrat states

"Democrats are facing a ticking time bomb: the 2032 presidential election.

"Halfway through the decade, projections show an alarming trend for Democrats: Big blue states like California and New York are shedding population — while big red states like Florida and Texas are booming.

If these trends hold, the 2030 census and reapportionment will bring a 2032 election electoral map even more heavily tilted to Republicans.

At the same time, voters in blue states rebelling against the Democratic brand: In 2024, Donald Trump make his biggest inroads in deep blue enclaves. Why is all this occurring? The answer just might come down to one, key issue: housing."

So a Nazi sympathiser heading DOGE in

But a Nazi sympathiser getting bombed and helping innocent civilians in Gaza is totally concerning for you and Israel.
You really should apply for that job at
