When you've suffered from the Stockholm syndrome for so long you view any welfare as "dangerous"...

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

"This is not who we are," says the country with the highest homicide rate (by a mile) among G7 countries and without any gun control.

Not that Newsom hasn't been problematic or that he's necessarily fighting back enough... but he's one of the few who are actively fighting back? Where. is. the. resistance. America? You sold the world your greatest Hollywood resisting tyrannies stories and... this is all you've got?

Why are articles are not what they appear to be anymore? If I click on a New Yorker, I know it's gonna be long ass. If I click on a listicle to distract myself while waiting for someone to show up in 3 minutes, I don't need "upon entering his apartment, I was greeted by the smell of stale licorice"

Trump: $0 for you, $200m ballroom for me, everything gets more expensive Americans: ok T: I dictate which students to accept A: ok, here's some money T: I detain citizens without due process A: ok T: I fire people who provide facts A: ok Such weak citizenry from a country obsessed with superheroes

Listen to this. Whistleblowers who save lives often get punished, while the perpetrators go unscathed.

American courts, universities, law firms, corporations, people... keep getting screwed by Trump, and their response? "Here, more money and power <3"

Wars, unfettered proliferation of AI, climate crisis, Trump… where do today’s youth find hope?

I wonder if the spouses of psychopaths are as psychopathic? Melania likely is. But Priscilla Chan (Zuckerberg), Oliver Mulherin (Sam Altman), Usha Vance (JD Vance), Cheryl Hines (RFK Jr)?

What's Vance, Rubio, Gabbard, Bondi, Miller, Leavitt's end goal here? At least Trump got to act like a king before the inevitable downfall. What's the end goal? Even if they can get away with everything forever, they'll come at each other, that's the logical conclusion for a psychopathic cult.

Why is the American resistance _still_ so weak? What would it take?

Dear World: look at me, look at me, the US, no matter how many disgusting billionaires they house, can't survive without the rest of the world. They need stuff. They need us. Never give in. Never self-elf with insane "deals".

Trump: I will destroy the media and law firms. American media and law firms: Okay, here's some money.

American "Christian value": denying millions their healthcare.

Canadians who still use Facebook... why?

Brad Lander: "I also need to thank some of the most important people in my life and on this campaign—I mean, of course, the NYT editorial board. Just kidding, of course: I love Wordle and Connections, but I really urge the Times to cancel their new feature 'Editorial Riddles.' No one likes those."

This is the reason why you need a bag patch of Canada.

The NYT: “From the stream of campus censorships to the Strait of Hormuz, Trump is but a vessel”

Dems after the bombing: Wo wo wo impeachment? Not so soon. No worries honey, we will send them an even stronger-worded letter.

The first country to get bullied into joining the US in the new war will be the biggest loser. The first country to get bullied into making a deal with the US will be the biggest loser.

Humans will proudly call a pet a family member only to say they own that pet afterwards. You own a family member?

Excruciating to listen to Kellyanne Conway and Kevin Roberts arguing "Is This America's Golden Age" at the Munk Debate. Their points haven't happened/aren't happening. Like many past and present authoritarians, Trump and his cohorts are, in reality, striding away from the utopia that they promised.

Guys, after so many years, anyone with a brain cell should know he's not playing "4D chess" or whatever. He really doesn't know what he's doing. It's hilarious to see people with impressive degrees and credentials trying to intellectualize his words and decipher something that's clearly not there.

This useless little mfer fraud only knows how to say “make deal” and he doesn’t even know how to make one.

when all these deportations and crackdowns are well underway, "true-blood" Americans will flock to construction, farming, factory and restaurant jobs. The birds will sing again and industries will bloom and, with morality and democracy untouched... it'll be a great day again - right-wing fantasy

Gun violence? Numbed. Corruption? Numbed. Muslim ban? Numbed. Sending people, including citizens, to offshore prison without due process? Numbed. Dismantling of institutions? Numbed. Economic turmoils? Numbed. One day Americans will wake up and feel nothing at all.

What's Micro Rubio's end goal here? He seems to be very ambitious but what happens to this Göring-like figure when this whole thing inevitably collapses (even if all resistance fails, they'll have to cannibalize themselves at some point).

Disturbing gravity of it all aside... from the piss sack selling ugly cars on the lawn and scammy cryptos as well as showing printouts to another head of state, to Noem IG-posing in front of a concentration camp and asking the prestigious Harvard to "suck it," the US has become so dollar-store cheap

I understand what right-wing media are trying to do, but for the rest? "Is what piss sack doing corruption? Is he playing 4D chess? How to navigate the bad economy due to his actions? How not to be illegally deported" HELLO YOU KNOW PISS SACK IS THE CAUSE AND IT WON'T STOP UNTIL HE'S STOPPED.

American filmmakers: when you portray non English-speaking characters/stories, why do you need to sprinkle in phrases in another language & cultural affectations that at best give rise to silly offensive caricatures. If it's about an Italian family set in Italy, we know it's Italian, we ain't dumb.

who needs silly electronics and household items when you can get a Land Rover??

When Trump said: "They let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the *****." He's right, Americans really let him do anything. Abysmal lack of resistance.

Hello world, time to tariff the biggest exporter of services (including Hollywood recycled crap movies) - the US.

The piss sack ruins lives, dismantles institutions and crashes the global economy, and now he wants a parade - which will cost tens of millions - to celebrate his dictatorship... And Americans will just go: okay?

so dark. the American dark mode is fully on now. from ich bin ein berliner to let's try being the other side.

When the piss sack revealed himself as the fraud that he is by telling a Georgia's election official "I just want 11,780 votes," he should've been stopped and sent away right there and then. Instead, passive Americans let him screw them over again and again and again and again.

Americans: you ok?

NYT: One estimate finds that DOGE’s “firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers” will actually COST taxpayers “upward of $135 billion this fiscal year.” @nytimes.com 🤡 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

local men think their backpacks defy physics and take up no space in public transit

Trump's track record Felonies: at least 34 Bankruptcies: 6 Country he's driving to almost bankruptcy: 1 Current wife who wouldn't kiss him: 1 Tax fraud scheme: >10 years Sham university: 1 Real friends: 0 Honest day's work: 0 Weight: "215 lbs" Frauds: too many Lies: innumerable Weakness: boundless

Leavitt and Bondi truly wear their crosses like swastikas

To most other citizens with financial anxiety: remember that the wealthy would spend $$$ ($150k in deposit alone; full cost not disclosed) just to have an 11-minute joyride in a dick-shaped rocket, all the while releasing extremely large amounts of CO2. You and the planet are cooked.

First, de-dollarization, everyone, pronto. Second, form a more collaborative leadership. They’ll shield us more from regional volatilities.

We act like this is normal. It’s an abuse of power.

We had trade agreements around the world. We broke them. Now we have to renegotiate, in a rush, without expertise, with countries who know their interests and who cannot trust us. Here’s how that puts America First. by Peter Navarro

I'm honestly surprised by how calm and nonchalant Americans are relative to the gravity of the situation. China is more likely to win the trade war, not because their economy won't be equally hurt, but because more Americans are more used to living in abundance.
