Mephistopheles

We don’t live in a time of ideas that can be played out in a safe arena. We live in a time of ideas that are being played out in an arena that’s under threat of being burned down. Fuck the ideas for now

I agree with @Gregmal they criticize everything even if it may be a good thing. I have no idea why they don’t just laser focus on the authoritarian stuff alone- plenty of low hanging fruit there.

What will the crowd size be is my question. 20-30k? Maybe Greg should play ping pong with that teen champion, toss newspapers, and play bridge to bring in a crowd. Ajit Jain should munch on the peanut brittle and make wise cracks.

Buffett won’t be on stage next year. Am a bit surprised. Figured he’d want to be up there as it draws in the crowds. I wonder by how much attendance will fall? https://omaha.com/news/local/business/article_b221da8d-d5e3-48c0-9298-9633490c5d07.html

Why are we making a big deal of Trump accepting a foreign bribe! Democrats do it too and nobody cares. What about Bob Menendez??? Oh wait…

Yea but what about Hunter Biden’s laptop!

I heard he wasn’t happy with the overhead at the foundation. Also heard about the Melinda thing.

I agree with you here. We (the country) have surely lost the Presidency, House and the Senate to a fascist and his synchopants. Thankfully we still have the Judiciary. I think we will survive this one.

What part is bullshit? Was he not prosecuted? lol If they do this to Don Jr. I promise to eat my shirt

Or: just try to assassinate your VP if you want to become emperor

Yes Biden’s own DOJ prosecuted Hunter Biden with a Trump appointed US Attorney serving as special prosecutor. Looking forward to the day Pam Bondi does the same to Don Jr. Both sides

Because the left, just like the right, are blind to when their own guy does it. Having said that, and what the whataboutism loving cult fails to recognize, is the magnitude of Trump’s corruption (and fascism) is greater than any one person’s wrongdoing on the left. It’s like if you were to combine all of the evils of everyone on the left and jam them into one person. But it’s more than that. Fuck the whataboutism. Judge the situation for what it is: an attempted authoritarian takeover. The people in the middle should stop wasting time debating the nuances of his every policy in an attempt to remain neutral.

Don’t rely too much on your parents opinion of you. Be your own person. And be bolder. Ask that lady out. Worst thing is that she will say no but most likely she will be intrigued.

You know what- I am probably in the wrong here. to get arrested she needed a warrant signed off by another judge. so, nothing wrong here. Admitting it loud and clear. still doesn’t change my view that Trump is a fascist

https://www.axios.com/2025/04/25/fbi-arrests-judge-wisconsin-hannah-dugan-kash-patel sounds about right

We should be thankful that although he is a fascist, Trump is also a buffoon. Having a clown as an authoritarian means there are plenty of opportunities to save democracy, which I think we will in the midterms.

Exactly. Bunch of victimhood and wokeism

10 year yield continues to rise, the highest weekly gain in 25 years. Looks like China is dumping treasuries to squeeze Trump. Very fascinating. Probably next week we will see a 90 day pause on China.

Lol! Like I said before, if they nicer hats , America would be great again

Bring back the politics forum!

Now that he solved the US economy, the narcissist goes back to fascism with his most appalling move thus far (this term):

We went from 1 house gop member to 11 going against Trump tariffs. And new bipartisan legislation out in the senate. Of course it has to be veto proof. Nothing talks like incentives. I think we will be ok

As I’ve said before. Vance and these other ass kissers are such tools. Chinese peasants?? He’s clearly trying to be mean in a Trumpian way but it’s so cringeworthy because only Trump can be Trump. God what a loser

So are the tarrifs a negotiating tactic or are they meant to create American jobs?
