Oddly one of the more coherent transcriptions I have read of his.

Not sure how that was misinterpreted there. Basically the exact initial core definition of it. The belief that nothing fundamentally matters, the values of life in general are cosmically irrelevant, that coupled with the idea that humans are a plague on the planet. Should the population become halved or eradicated by diseases that could have been prevented, I wouldn’t protest.

But it was a tongue-in-cheek comment, on the internet, on a random post on a little used social media platform.

Curious what the end game is here. What is ultimately driving the desire to effectively accelerate preventable diseases? The nihilistic side of me is on board, but the realistic and empathetic side of me simply cannot spin a single positive goal out of it.

I guess it’s the whole MAGA “it doesn’t have to make sense, it just needs to stay on message” thing.

Crazy

You can tell it’s a Tesla because of the way it is.

It’s another example him being in a no-win position. No answer to his situation is acceptable.

It seems to happen pretty frequently. He is either engaging in completely reprehensible behavior, or he is so hopelessly clueless to everything around him that he should never be considered for serious responsibility. There is no positive light that can be shed.

That is very true. My comment certainly wasn’t a knock against anyone who can’t travel. The value proposition for travel to that extent is a hard sell to someone living paycheck to paycheck. The first time my wife and I went to Europe was largely on credit cards (we were young and paycheck to paycheck as well). We had to give up many comforts over the following years to pay it off.

The relative geographic isolation here is a major hurdle, and while the internet should be a great tool to discover what potential we have (like not going bankrupt after falling ill), it’s just as useful for big money to control the narrative.

It seems like most Americans barely leave their own state, let alone a country that isn’t Mexico or Canada. Having spent a fair time in most European countries, political discussions with locals typically involve how skewed the US perspective is on liberal/conservative views. Like calling Biden or Harris radical leftists. JFC. It’s embarrassing that people actually believe that. The brainwashing here is crazy.

Draft-dodging chickenshit starts war. Neat

It’s the vets and active who respect trump that absolutely baffle me.

I mean, it’s been obvious for over a decade. When he came out warning about some obscure country that people should be wary of, and nobody (including him, to be clear) has ever heard of this “threatening” country or faction or whatever, with absolutely zero context or relevance to the US, and just happens to be in the crosshairs of Russia…. Yeah.

I am searching for this crazy-ass irrelevant unscripted tangent he went on, but when I search for “trump russian talking points opposing country”, even tossing “first term” in there, I am inundated with all of the recent talking points he has been making. This wasn’t Ukraine, by the way. I wish I remembered, but I have better things to do than dig through the historic tire fire that is this administration.

“What is the absolute dumbest fucking thing we can do this afternoon? I know!”

Remember kids, congress could put a stop to this tonight. And by “this”, I mean the trump presidency. Just think about that for a while.

I know it’s gonna sound weird, but thanks to Big Clive, I am quite familiar with Poundland.

Imagine what it would cost if they also had food and shelter.

He is using this as an excuse to see what he can get away with. Since we have a spineless congress, the answer is, unfortunately, “basically anything”

This entire country is having an unfortunate episode

Well yeah. The intention was for the attack to succeed.

~64% of eligible voters did so. So technically, the majority did vote, but damn that seems like a weak turnout given the stakes at hand.

I thought the same thing initially, but then I considered how accurate the statement was.

It refreshing to have such a master wordsmith at the helm of our country. The man has the vocabulary range of a pediatric room board book.
