        Yeah and reagan started the fall with deficits. Before that controlling the debt was a conservative thing. They have abandoned everything except tax cuts and deregulation.

        Which is the part that I really don’t get; How fucking dumb do you have to be to think you will still be rich and powerful after the Dollar is worth nothing? Not to mention what’s going to happen to Judges and Congresspersons when they become useless to the administration.

          I think the teach tech bros think they have enough bitcoin that they’ll come out ahead in the event of a dollar collapse.

          I think they’re wrong.

      All things come to an end. Even the US

      The crazy thing is the person who told me this as a child doesn’t recognize that it’s happening right now

      Maybe it’s the plastic in our brains? I swear humanity is getting noticeably stupider year over year

            That too! But there have been a lot of studies done and there’s a very strong correlation between lead in gasoline and the loss in critical thinking and the increase in aggression of affected groups, especially as they age.

      John Roberts betrayed his country. That’s why we’re here. Citizens United.

        Yeah I honestly think we should pass a law that says any campaign donation needs to have a name on it. I don’t care if 2000 people donate to a super pac and a company sticks it’s name on it, or if all 2000 people are identified, but anonymously giving people money is a no go for private citizens EVEN IF IT”S NOT TAXABLE

    They know the right answer and they know the Trump answer

    You have to specify which one you want

    But if you want the right answer you’re gonna have to wait 4 years for it, the great emperor doesn’t like the right answer

      The Atlantic was going to publish any response, no matter how bonkers. If a congresscritter decided to send them a Saturday Night Live skit about beavers building a dam in the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, they’d have described that response in the article.

        Can we elect you? Cause that sounds like a very interesting response. Congress interpretive dance, at it were.

        When I said loophole I meant that if Putin ends up wanting to defenestrate him he can just say “it was chatgpt I never said that”

    The House Foreign Affairs Committee, chaired by Representative Brian Mast of Florida, opted to stake out a position that seemed different from Trump’s: The panel posted a screenshot of our questions on X, with the caption: “ON THE RECORD: Russia invaded Ukraine & Putin is a dictator. But that doesn’t mean our European allies shouldn’t match Russian military spending & recruitment.”

    What does that mean? Do they want Europe to deploy a million soldiers to Ukraine?

      Someone should tell him that the EU already massively outspends Russia and has more active military personnel, before you even include non-EU NATO members like the UK and Norway
