I Dream of Mini

I cannot wait to see the polls a week from now

Bwwwhhhaaaaa colossal maga dumbfucks

Trying desperately to see ANY bright side -- it's never been a better time to be a decent hetero guy who wants a full partner and knows how to do his own laundry and actively likes women as people.

HORMUZ TRACKER: Iran-Linked Ships Are the Only Ones to Transit Strait of Hormuz transit remains near a standstill for a seventh day, with Iran-linked ships the only commercial vessels making the crossing in the past 24 hours.

Bloomberg’s built a ship tracker and absolutely nothing is moving in the Persian Gulf rn — www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Support for the Iran war is at an abysmal 38%, per G. Elliott Morris's average of polls. That's the lowest initial support for a war in memory. Also, CNN finds 59% don't trust Trump to make right decisions with force in Iran. There's no rally-around-flag effect. 4/

for those unaware, this would be perfidy, explicitly prohibited by the 1907 Hague convention and 1977 protocol to the Geneva conventions as war crimes; these (particularly The Hague convention) are customary international law and thus binding on Israel

C’mon, that’s a London tube station, not a ballplayer.

Who is the superpower etc

I’ve posted this many times before, but NJ is the most de-industrialized state in the union by an order of magnitude

New Jersey used to make basically every single manufactured good on earth (at one point iirc the state accounted for like 25% of total manufacturing output globally) and in the early 20th century the disposal plan was “throw it in the river”

Hence, NJ is just sorta like this now

president vows to punch himself in the dick until congress agrees to kick him in the ass

oil over $100/barrel with no sign of coming down, dow futures down over 1000 points, maybe we'll have a war draft, too, just for funsies, sounds great

A refresher on what Rubio once said about the Jan. 6 insurrection that Tarrio helped provoke:

"3rd world style anti-American anarchy"

“disgusting”

“unpatriotic"

“inexcusable”

"national embarrassment"

"one of the saddest days in our history"

Whats just absolutely bonkers is so far the Wisconsin and national GOP have seemed to have completely surrendered the Supreme Court election that happens in less than a month in the state which hand Dems a flip, bringing the court to a 5-2 Dem majority and lock in Dem control until at least 2030

Trump wants the Venezuela Bribe Part Deux.

Netanyahu wants total regime collapse and a civil war that takes Iraq, Syria and Lebanon down with it.

Hegseth wants to play Crossfit Curtis LeMay until the Voices stop.

Totally avoidable. This is absolutely not something that had to happen but it is bc the president is an easily manipulatable dipshit

Rep Dan Crenshaw says culture of misinformation fueld his primary loss: "The truth didn't matter"

I Never Thought Leopards Would Eat My Face, Sobs Congressman Representing Leopards-Eating-Faces Party.

if a talking head tells you people are worried about a draft w/r/t ground forces and you ignore that to declare that all options are on the table, your sloppy fucking comms aren’t really anyone else’s problem to clean up, imo

these people started a war of choice and aggression without providing congress or the public with any reasoning for it, they don’t get benefit of the doubt

While I agree that this is *most* likely, I wouldn’t describe it as absolutely likely - both sides have painted themselves into corners and are run by fanatic true believers

war ≠ tariffs

Tariffs imposed arbitrarily can be reversed arbitrarily, and removal acts similar to a stimulus. Most who adjusted economic activity can readjust.

People killed in war don't come back to life. Infrastructure destroyed in war doesn't start working again. You can't just take it back.

Screenshot of a tweet from US Representative Richard Hudson (R-NC) on 19 March 2025 @ 3:38pm ET. Text reads: THE TRUMP EFFECT AT WORK FOR NORTH CAROLINA! [flexing arm emoji] A furniture manufacturer, Prepac, is shutting down its operations in Canada and moving all of its production to its NC facility. This will help grow our economy and bring more good-paying jobs for folks in our area!

Screenshot of an article headline from the News & Observer. Headline text reads: "NC furniture maker is going out of business, lays off 200 near Greensboro". Above the headline is a photo of a manufacturing facility. The caption to the photo reads: "Prepac Manufacturing facility in Whitsett, NC. The company announced this week it will wind down all operations."

How it started vs how it's going

The power of MAGAnomics!

S.E.C. Settles Its Case Against Justin Sun, an Investor in the Trumps’ Crypto Coins

Justin Sun, a Chinese-born crypto billionaire, was accused by Biden’s SEC of making $31m+ through fraudulent crypto trades.

After Trump won, Sun spent $75m on a cryptocurrency developed by the Trump family’s crypto company.

Last week, Trump’s SEC settled the case against Sun for a $10m fine.

Best I can do is "Get fucked."

As someone who works for an embassy rn, let me just say that some diplomats are also blinkered by the fact that they cannot really imagine politics being as ideological, irrational, and as driven by personal desires as it is lol

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

Iran regime change advocates got what they spent decades pushing for—the US to launch a big war to collapse Iran’s government—and they’re still not happy.

Because what they pushed for years was a fantasy of a smooth, easy regime change war that gets everyone to tell them they were right all along.
