i was pretty much 90% leaning towards the “he really is just THAT fucking stupid” possibility

that’s all true, but what’s the foundation of all of that?

money. which the fed controls. not potus, not scotus, not wall street-- the fed. if you look at business news it’s all about “what’s the fed going to do!? what are they going to set the interest rate to?!” etc. it’s never about “the fed did this because so-and-so told them to”

and if you control the money, you control everything. including the people. as in ALL the people. as in the president’s allies, and the president’s enemies. they could contract the money, obliterate the economy and sink said president at will. no matter how godly he thinks he is. trump’s always boasting about how filthy rich he is. who literally printed all of trump’s money?

the “fed chair” is just a flapping facehole whose main job is to make it look like government (or someone) has some kind of involvement in their decisions. they don’t. how many times have you heard trump bitching about the fed? and how many times have they done something because he wanted it?

make no mistake: the fed doesn’t care about you, nor your best interests. but they are an entirely different monster, and if you’re already bummed about everything else, then maybe hold off on going down that rabbit hole until things are less of an absolute fucking shitshow

he IS fucking stupid, but does he actually believe the president has any authority over the fed? or does he just want everyone else to think that?

because the fed answers to no one. and is arguably orders of magnitude more powerful than the president

this is stated as if they or their voters will care…

yea…i don’t see the problem here

don’t forget the past and present

it feels weird debating “what age = ‘children’” in a report about people getting blown up in a genocide

not very active yet unfortunately but it was more of a hit than one would think on reddit

you might as well assume that any traffic you send to an american vpn is routed directly to the NSA, FBI, etc. get something that physically resides in a GDPR country. as for price, it’s either that or just drop the P out of VPN

don’t forget: in a system that wants you to be sick in order to profit from your suffering, self-care is an act of defiance

“offended by sex” is just a smoke and mirrors cover for what really grinds their gears: women making their own decisions. especially when a decision contradicts what they’re told to do by men

art is lies that reveal the truth

i was born late in the decade but am willing to bet that’s just what the 70s smelled like

i have a lot of short pants and no-sock suitable shoes, and exactly none of them are one of the 3 colors represented in this picture of kids who clearly made their clothing decisions based on “what’s everyone else doing?”

Someone would come up after the service and ask, “Where did you get those liberal talking points?”

“What was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, ‘I’m literally quoting Jesus Christ,’ the response would not be, ‘I apologize.’ The response would be, ‘Yes, but that doesn’t work anymore. That’s weak,’”

ok. congrats to us, i guess…

i feel like “wild marathon rant” would just apply any time he opens his fat bullshit spewing face anus, and can be considered a given

the more you look at US history the more absurd it gets

nationalism gave us the hubris to think we were impervious to fascism. now we have a convicted felon rapist manbaby, completely immune to any consequence whatsoever, calling all the shots while our peaceful protesters are abducted by masked goons

barely 250 years. pathetic

lol his toddler tantrums have been a laughingstock for years
