I said it before and I’ll say it again: the US will default on their debt, possibly soon. The current government isn’t even trying to do anything to avoid this.

Yes, burning books, always a deed fondly remembered by history.

It is a good grift, can’t just let it end.

The side effects of giving people immense power without accountability. Expect more stories like this in the future.

When Trump started behaving erratically I considered the possibility of the US defaulting on its debt, now I consider it a certainty. The consequences of this are hard to fathom.

After reading a lot of the material I am not convinced the hyprland dev can reasonably be called a “fascist”.

It’s an interesting story, though.

That might still become a real thing considering where things are moving.

“Judges? Where we’re going, we won’t need judges.” *proceeds to fly away in the original Volkswagen*

I’m always astonished by how little anyone cares about anyone else in modern day America. Exploiting other people, especially the weak, is just the most normal thing.

Imagine replacing your own hand-picked Sectary of Defense after only three months and it’s considered a win.

Something will be lowered alright.

What I don’t get about this is the reason. You’d think maybe more insider trading, but why would you need such specific information for that? A simple "attack on Yemen at…“ would be enough. In the first chat at least the people were tangentially concerned with the content, but his wife and lawyer? And ten more associates? For what, bragging rights? He must have known on some level that this is quite sensitive information and should not be shared with just about anyone. The sheer stupidity of all this is incomprehensible to me, it truly boggles the mind.

And one more thing: all of this has had no real consequences for the troops yet, but these kinds of failures will lead to catastrophic outcomes eventually. The Pentagon is now a clown-show and it is dealing with live-and-death decisions constantly. What a crazy time.

Narrator: “They didn’t stop the hostilities. In fact, they started a major offensive.”

I thought this would start to happen next week, but here we are already.

And just like that I uninstalled the app, never to login again. It wasn’t that important for me anyway.

Uhm, there is another bit in this article…

And then the other thing that I wanted to flag for everybody is that right now that, I don’t want to say that this is intentional, it could very well have been a mistake, is that critical infrastructure databases and many government agencies, as we understand it, have been exposed to the open internet, which includes critical databases at the Department of Energy, which includes a lot of our nuclear regulatory agency material.

Because of course he does.

Every day the Trump administration is trying and succeeding to reach almost comical levels of evil. I always thought comic book villains were unrealistic in their sheer sadistic joy of seeing others suffer. How wrong I was.

You’re in some deep shit now.

I said it before: everything is moving much faster than anyone could have reasonably anticipated. At the current rate we might see the first American citizens being deported by next week. Do you still think it’s not going to happen? What other things did you think wouldn’t happen.

“Despite court order…” is becoming the ubiquitous intro to news about the Trump administration.
