So here's a question. What's Trump's game? Why's he doing this? I hope this thread helps answer that.

1. Trump is a 100% compromised Russian asset. This has been obvious to anyone paying attention for almost a decade.

That means Russia has evidence on him which if it leaked it, would DESTROY him.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, a hedge fund billionaire, confirmed the Trump admin is imposing a plan that gives the US control over revenue from Ukraine's natural resources.

The US will decide what investments are made (to benefit US corporations).

This is economic colonialism.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Brexit: “that great victory for the sovereign right to cock things up”… give ourselves food poisoning, lose control, swamp ourselves in red tape, pay more for stuff and stubbornly isolate ourselves from our own continent…

A relentless, ruinous stupidity.

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like
-check them out regularly at the library
-request the library order them if they don’t have them
-buy them
-start or support banned book clubs
-organize a banned book kids story time
A real shame

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage."

New billboard in Clacton, Farage’s constituency. He’s still the UK’s #1 grifter. No other MP takes more from second jobs while being employed to represent their constituents in Parliament

This. Entirely this. Sets my teeth on edge when people talk about Musk being a genius. I may not be an expert in any of these fields but I have a finely honed ability to detect bullshit and he sets off all the alarm bells

“At least Russia has elections”

Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999.

If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.
