lol next you’ll be telling me that raindrops, when not being blown in any other direction, frequently fall down. okay. 👍
The oil prices are affecting us in Europe too. Gas is getting wayyy more expensive. My car also isn't very fuel-efficient...
And I think this is wonderful news if it teaches that fuckface a valuable lesson.
Unfortunately necessities and commodities getting more expensive doesn't mean anything to the elites. Tarrifs and increased cost of living significantly disproportionately affects poors and working class people. For a rich person, fridges doubling in price is still a cheap purchase. For a poor person that needs a fridge and could hardly afford one before price doubled, they certainly can't afford one now. Once again the poors carry society on their shoulders. Gas went up? U think rich people even notice? Hell no. But us working people now have to decide between eating lunch on Saturday and driving to work next week.
Hey psst I'll sell you this old fridge I found with a dead cat in it if you sell some of your blood
-capitalism and its solutions
It will get the attention of the parasite class when nobody can afford to drive to work. There aren't enough electric car owners to keep the economy going.
Not to mention with electric getting more expensive by the minute with ai and data center nonsense the ev thing might not be a solution anyways. Plus EV owners are not part of the poor/ working class I am talking about, anybody that can afford a 20k+ electric car is not half as poor as I am lmfao. I cried about spending 3 grand on my last shitter because the one before didn't even run me 900$.
They also spent a REALLY long time fighting EV and public transit development. They really have no idea how anything works or how to plan further than a few months but society will still act like they’re so smart they deserve billions.
His brain was never functional to begin with.
When God was handing out brains, he heard "trains" and said "no thanks, I'll drive myself."
I read this same headline every two weeks since 2016 (great 4 year break in between)

Gee guys I sure like our odds
A compilation of tweets is just not news. Not that this threat is not important, but that I wish there were real reporting in this article.
It's hard to say what tweets count as. The White House has said they are official messages at times, and Musk was held legally required to purchase a company because of his statements made on the platform. At one point I believe they were all being archived to the library of Congress, not sure if they are anymore. Then again I believe Trump's are on his site, so who knows
"People on internet are mad at stuff Trump says on internet."
Brilliant reporting. Why not make the article about how unhinged the shit he was saying was, not the reaction of people to it?
Because it's HuffPost, which has always been more of a clickbait-farm for liberals than a journalism outlet.
Don’t forget to give credit to individuals and organizations ‘slamming’ him.
Because one of those is journalism and the other is editorializing, most outlets have a section for both.
And they're all sane washing his bullshit 24/7
Ah yes, the famous Trump Sanewashing perpetrated by the Huffington Post with articles titled things like 'His Brain Is Broken'.
Pick your battles, dude. If you want to complain about the very real problem of Trump sane washing you might want to save if for an incident where that is what is actually happening.
You're really going to defend the Huffington Post?
In terms of "are they sane washing Trump in this article?" Sure. They obviously aren't.
I wasn't talking about this article specifically, I'm talking about US media as a whole. Including the Huffington Post
Do you think that a discussion about an article that actually sane washes trump might be a better place to set up your soapbox for this particular complaint?
love those em dashes, grok really pulling overtime for this one. or maybe openai now that the pentgon contract has been signed
The US president is AI slop.
I'm no fan of AI, but don't blame this on it, this is 100% organic slop. It has neither the A, nor the I.
N.I. - Natural Idiocy
The knights weren't saying it for no reason

He's threatening nukes, he already mobilized the bombs. Now would be a good time for other countries to cut the US off. US won't rally and rise up unless we suffer. Make us suffer you pussies.
It really does look like he’s trying to find an excuse to use them.
If he does he needs to go to be removed from office, and all countries need to sanction the US.
WTF do you mean, "if he does?" He already needs to be removed from office now, and the notion that he's thinking about using a nuke only makes it even more imperative that he be removed before that happens!
I agree with everything you said.
But if the US doesn’t grow a spine on this they’re fucked beyond help.
Would that happen? I doubt the US would remove him, would Europe be able to do any more than symbolic acts?
If he uses nukes it would be a hard line that most countries would be hard pressed to look past. If the US uses nukes in Iran then Russia will definitely use theirs in Ukraine and no European politician wants to be in the way of that fallout (literally and figuratively).
The entire world needs to stop. It’s seemingly being considered to drop nukes on millions of people like you and me for no reason. Hello? This is not a matter of tapping on little hearts and arrows on social media, we’re all financing this, in one way or another, and allowing it to happen.

You just know the poor sucker with the nuclear football is sweating bullets and not sleeping right now.
Best case for the rest of us is that dude commits treason.
He absolutely has dementia or Alzheimer’s and he absolutely had a stroke or TIA at the 9/11 memorial (I’m sure it’s not the first time). He probably has a laundry list of other medical issues to boot.
Any other 80 year old man with this medical history is in a locked memory unit, but this one is ruining our fucking lives.
He very clearly shit himself while on TV a few weeks ago, and its not headline news because reality is crazy town these days. I fully expect the day they announce he croaks to be a lie and they have been "Weekend at Burnies"ing him around for atleast 72 hours prior.
If that happens early next year around his terms half-way point I fully expect a "Death of Stalin" scenerio (from the begining of the film, where they have to find the best Dr in Moscow, but cant, because they threw them all out of the country and finding one would mean the violated Stalins orders) because if Vance has to server for more than half the remaining term, he can only run for re-election once.
What's the excuse for almost the entirety of the Republican party and the accompanying RINOs then? The fact is that he is such a compulsive liar that nothing he says matters, he's just a noise maker that works it into a distraction from what he is doing.
"Torch", "Blast", etc. are funny words that mean nothing to someone who doesn't pay attention to anyone other than himself.
Been seeing a lot of "torch" lately... I'm thinking the headline writers in the US see "torch" as the new "slam".
Headline writers torch headlines with the word “slammed”
What are they gonna use next? Pulverize? Disintegrate? Ram?
He remembers blaming Biden for high gas prices. Now he's afraid of being seen as responsible for the same. Which he demonstrably is. So his threats will escalate as his fear intensifies.
I don't know. That would require like 3 or 4 coherent thoughts in a row.
I get that it's fun to mock this man, but I feel like it also defangs the perception of him. People were laughing at how unlikely his victory would've been back in 2016 and now we're here ten years later. This man is evil. He's impulsive, and temperamental, and incredibly powerful.
He's caused immense suffering among people, he's stomping all over their rights, he's kidnapped a head of state and he's now started a war. Please, take the danger this man represents seriously.
They didn't torch shit he's not on fire.
not yet?
