    If we're lucky then Trump dies, there won't really be another cult of personality like him. Even now he's coasting on his old persona, he's just a grumpy old man with limited ability to remember much of anything.

    Nobody's going to be fine. Tariffs on our 3 biggest trade partners are going to raise the prices of nearly everything by 25%

    And just like everybody else, you forgot the Native Americans.

    You know, the ones that they're trying to remove their citizenship based on some 140-year-old law that has already been superseded by other better law?

    I really, really, don't understand how/why Native Americans are treated so bad. It makes no sense to me. Then their artifacts and regalia will be copied or sold for top dollar. It's insane.

    Yeah nothing is off the table. A bunch of incompetent bootlickers backing an elderly dimwit conman without any serious checks or balances? Recipe for disaster in any number of ways.

    I'm not even in the US and I'm worrying. Especially due to the fact that I'm both Moroccan and queer (specifically aroace). Guess I'm not visiting the US at all during his term.

    Don't visit us. Don't travel here. They need to understand there's financial consequences to making this country unwelcoming.

    Oh, you'll be fine as long as you don't have to work to live. If you are rich enough to live of the work of others.

    Everyone else is fucked. The plutocrats are going to make sure of that.

    I've always considered Musk to have the look of the Innsmouth about him; pale clammy skin, wide eyes clumped above his guppy jaw. I hope he will be lured by the ancestral calls and return to the murky depths in due course.

    How did we get to this, I thought the progress he have made would have actually stuck in some people's heads (I've voters). Unfortunately, some people don't understand what the progress was for because all they think about are their wallets and control of others

    I'm going to be good all the way. I'm happy being dead knowing I'm not on the same plane of existence as these douche nozzles.
