figure 5.1 U.S. Economic Growth, 1790–2012
it's funny you can see how much the New Deal fixed macroeconomic stability within the United States, and the elite hated FDR for it
Just to mention, yeah, any time anyone brings up the topic of Meta Ray-Bans I will instantly be saying, “Oh, the pervert glasses.”
(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa) BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history. REGINALD: Wow! What's it do? BEARTATO: It... what? REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do? (Beartato thinks.) BEARTATO: I don't know. REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do? EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this! (The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet) MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk! (Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)
True Art
And this is why we’ve been putting people in concentration camps, ending HIV care around the world, assassinating foreign leaders, and generally just destroying the entire post-WW2 US peace and prosperity and centrality.
"I feel liberated," said a top banker. "We can say 'retard' and 'pussy' withtout the fear of getting cancelled... its a new dawn"
We should never ever forget why they did it
it's insane that my country's current position is that, if we don't like the leader of a sovereign nation, not only do we get to kill them we get to pick their successor
The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.
Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.
Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.
We live in Orwellian times.
I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.
Pete Hegseth loves war crimes, it's the entire reason he has the job in the first place.
I don’t think people have grasped what it means to have a WH & a military who commits mass murder over and over for the sole purpose of committing mass murder.
In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
I love watching people use LLMs in public. They’ll reply to a breaking news article and say “@grok is this true?” Babe where do you think it’s about to pull its answer from
^ “manly warfighters” not “many warfighters”
Counterpoint: Nuh-uh.
WWIII, but it’s just the US against every other country.
Dear Democrats,
All you need to do is blame everything shitty happening now on the Republicans. If you don’t know how to do this, just cut and paste from when they did it to Obama and Biden.
Love,
Me
Definitely feels like Hegseth doesn’t think it’s fair that Iran doesn’t just get bombed and maybe warfight hand-to-hand with our super tough many warfighters. They have the GALL to fight back with technology! Woke!
Bye!
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
You have to tell me if you’re a cop.
Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
School children have to face active shooter drills and the constant threat of death by gun. A reality created by Mullin and his party.
No, that man is much more of a coward.
Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0
Oh yeah, that’s the stuff!!
“No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.” www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...
They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.
