To be fair, without a brain to weigh him down, and with an infinitely inflated ego to float him up, it may be that the scale shows less than what is blubby mass actually is…?

If this outrage isn’t leaned heavily into by all Dems as a very easily understandable example of the incredible grift and looting Trump is doing everyday, it’s political malpractice, pound this ffs!

Denne fascismehelvetet her må Norge bare komme seg bort fra.

This is the reason the stock market is completely disconnected from the real economy.

21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures ... have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

⚠️ Palantir released what it describes as a vision for “The Technological Republic” in which it argues AGAINST democratic and cultural pluralism and FOR militaristic supremacy enforced by a technocratic elite who produce AI weaponry.

These points stand out:

Anyone banning renewables should be facing criminal charges of crimes against humanity and long prison sentences.

We are facing rapid extreme climate change already and we need to end fossil fuel use immediately.

Must be the same people that believe whatever Trump says and are surprised when things turn out differently that also jump into a lake and are surprised by the wetness of it

Not to mention state clearly that they will recoup everything he is looting f.ex the 10 billion from the IRS he is self-dealing etc and hold him, his family and enablers responsible for this corrupt rot

the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system

This would be the sound from the arctic to the antarctic and all points between if ol’Benji got dragged over to The Hague

For en hardbarka ateist så opplever jeg det som litt rart å være så pro-pave for tiden, for noen tider…

Or Venezuela? Cuba? Iran…?

I’ve been a professional business journalist for over 30 yrs.

Saw the Nasdaq bubble of ~’96-‘99 and the housing/credit bubble of ~’05-‘08 up close.

And the market today seems more disconnected from reality & more unable to incorporate information rationally than ever before.

- Rahmstorf, who has studied the Amoc for 35 years, has said a collapse must be avoided “at all costs”. “I argued this when we thought the chance of an Amoc shutdown was maybe 5%, and even then we were saying that risk is too high.... Now it looks like it’s more than 50%.

Skaden er ikke midlertidig, landet var kvitt Trump men jaggu gikk de ikke for han for andre gang allikevel, så det er ett større systemisk problem enn bare Trump og man kan ikke la livene våre være avhengig av at amerikanere roter det til eller ikke hvert fjerde år

Can’t believe this wasn’t considered and planned for the moment there was a chance he was thinking about running for a second term during his first go around!

Hilarious if they then invoke nato article 5 and Trump has to defend Turkey from Israeli attacks as Trump is really into Nato helping right?

99% sjanse at ai-botten vil oppfattes som mer menneskelig og omgjengelig enn Zuck selv, og han vil i løpet av kort tid bli låst inne i en mørk kjeller da ingen har bruk for han

Very very sad, my alma mater

First time perhaps a horrible mistake, electing him twice is a broken systemic rot

My Alma mater, very very sad

Now, if only we could take that delusional stock investor optimism, bottle it, and sell it as fuel..,I’m sure we would make a zillion dollars on Wall Street,

Oh no!

But his multi-tasking ability to somehow manage to make all those wrong choices simultaneously while learning nothing and always doubling down and make even worse choices is unparalleled!

I see war, a global energy supply crunch, and a weakened economy.

Wall St. apparently sees peace, energy products smoothly flowing out of the Persian Gulf, and an economy in good shape.

It feel weird. But, you know, wisdom of crowds, skin in the game, and all that.

Donald Trump isn't Jesus, he isn't the anti-christ either.

He is just a disgusting old man who sits on the throne of a USA so rotten and corrupt it won't even try to remove him.

One day Trump will be gone, but all of the USA's problems will remain.

If not, within 2 hours of the inauguration, the media will go on a tear about how failed policy hasn’t even turned the country around yet, unbecoming presidentialness, questioning the sanity, capability and intelligence of the president, concerns about presidential overreach etc…

The anti-semitism argument is so ridiculous, if it turns out a close family member is a mass-murderer, you would do anything to stop them, you wouldn’t support them if they call you disloyal, you would stop them!
