These fucking guys only ever lie and deny.

Are we really too stupid and weak as a country to be able to do anything about this?

I don’t blame Harris or Walz. I don’t even blame Biden, the senile old fool that he so clearly is.

I blame the Americans for fucking up the most outrageously obvious binary choice in history.

Has there ever been an election so obvious? Even during Trump vs Clinton one could almost be forgiven for giving Trump the benefit of the doubt as a “political outsider”, but by 2024 we knew exactly who this fucking guy was… The fact that people today are acting surprised and outraged about all the stuff that’s been happening during Trump’s first 1.5 months is only further proof that Americans are perhaps the dumbest amnesiacs to infest the Earth.

Literally all we had to do was vote against Trump’s particular brand of fascism.

But Americans are the type of people who fail a single question true or false quiz because they forgot to write their name at the top of the page, and we deserve to suffer the consequences of our collective stupidity over and over until it is bred out of us, or until our society falls. The American people allowed this to happen–and not just Trump, but everything bad that has happened over the course of American history.

They deserve to lose so much more.

To be totally honest, this isn’t about stock market gamesmanship to me–I’m not trying to buy the dip over the next few days. (If anything I’m waiting for the AI bubble, which I personally believe is bigger than the .com bubble, to blow the fuck up.)

Between incompetent idiots and assholes running everything, ridiculously inflated stock prices, meme stocks and market manipulation, on-again-off-again trade war bullshit, and the AI bubble, I’m happy to have my money out of the market. I have zero faith in the people who are running our economy to do anything worth investing in, and I’ll be perfectly happy to find alternative means of investing over the next 2-4 years.

Frankly, I’m sick of putting almost my entire life savings in the hands of corporations and the delusional k-holed fucknuts like Musk who run them. It’s a bonus that I’m no longer the shameful owner of bullshit ETFs and company shares that serve only to enrich and empower the richest corporate oligarchs.

I’ve lived through multiple crashes already, maybe I’ll hop back into the stock market during the next one, or maybe not because fuck this whole system.

I sold all of my stocks a couple weeks back and I’m feeling pretty fucking good about that right now.

Margin of error +/-52%.

I wouldn’t do it. But then again I’m not a fascist imperialist dictator with delusions of grandeur.

I’m not sure there was much value in the type of tea-leaf reading that 538 was known to do, but then again, I’m not sure how much value there is in corporate political news in general.

Almost not worth living (if not for pizza and weed gummies).

States run the elections, so I’m positive there will be one. But whether or not the results are respected… I’m not so confident in that.

She had the perfect opportunity to reference Metal Sonic here, but she blew it.

Aside from Trump, you must be the dumbest person in any room if you think rewarding Russia for invading Ukraine is a good move. History has shown those of us who know it that imperialist conquest must be met with all kinds of forceful opposition.

It was already a mistake for the world (including the US under Obama) for not pushing back hard when Russia took Crimea, and it would be an even bigger one to let them take another huge slice of Ukraine today.

Ukraine has paid their fair share in this war–they have paid with the blood of their people. But dumbfuck Trump is so desperate to give his “buddy” Putin a win here, and to join in the shakedown of Ukraine for “mineral rights” that wont mean fuck all when Russia continues his campaign and takes the rest of the country. Like seriously, what fucking good will all those minerals be worth when they end up within Russia’s borders?

It’s the dumbest plan of all time, it’s a shakedown of a nation that has already been invaded, and if we give up on Ukraine it will ultimately lead to a broader war that Europe and USA will have to fight themselves, because there will be no Ukrainians left to fight on our behalf.

This is the darkest moment in American geopolitical history. We can’t even pretend to be a country of values or valor anymore. We’re a pathetic country of greedy short-sighted cowards in ill-fitting business suits and we are inviting the war to us.

Doesn’t exactly take a business mogul to know that…

Nah. They do have to admit they were fucking wrong. Otherwise it’ll just be the same stupid shit over and over again. Enough reaching out with olive branches.

…unfortunately the car is stuck in reverse…

Shit I coulda told ya that, man.

Having the AG there is the only paper-thin facade stopping it from obviously looking like absolute dictatorial authority. By having another name on the page it gives them the ability to say “it’s not just Trump who decides the law, the AG weighs in too”. Ignoring the fact that the AG is up his ass and serves Trump’s every whim.

This is the straw that broke the back of American law and justice. Unless the SCOTUS slaps this EO down with the strongest of force as soon as possible, the American experiment is over.

Shocked pikachu face

“Delaying” correctly implies that the outcome is inevitable, while not voting is absolutely something that helped Trump win, in the sense that many people who had the power to affect the outcome, and thus keep Trump from taking power, failed to do so.

If you didn’t vote, it’s either because you were either happy or ambivalent about Trump winning.

Personally, I’m much more mad at the idiot non-voters who made Trump and Republican control an inevitability than I am at just about anyone else at this point. As the government stands today, just about anything that the Democrats can do is merely symbolic, as the Republicans have all of the power over the executive, legislative, and judicial branches for at least 2-4 years (assuming we even have elections in the future). Democrats are politically irrelevant, as decided by the voters (and non-voters) back in November.
