    Wait, this is a good thing:

    • AI “threatens” Trump.

    • Trump over reacts, declares AI as “terrorist”

    • AI is banned, bubble pops, billionaires face consequences.

      Tsk tsk not thinking like enough of a bastard. Ban duckduckgo for their leftist terrorist AI but other AI is fine. Hypocritical? So what? Or better yet have the gov buy duckduckgo and switch it to use based truthpilled Grok

        I like that second approach. I struggle to make myself move platform unless it significantly enshittifies (adjusting to new things gives me anxiety and I hate it), but a part of me hates using it.

        Grok currently is too occupied working in the US Army and weapon systems, apart of spreading Musks halucinations, porn and Deep Fakes.

    His death won’t change much of anything. Vought is running things. Remember. Vought is the P2025 guy. And then there’s Vance, financed by Thiel.

    The only difference is they won’t be hiding behind Trumps girth any more.

      They’d go full Weekend at Epstein’s and try to keep his corpse moving around till at least the midterms to figure out if his base can still be used with a changing message or if they need to make another tea party for 2028.

      Also Vance probably believes he can win the GOP nomination and be the 2028 elect, if Trump dies before the midterms Vance can only run in 2028. If Trump ‘dies’ in 2027, Vance could run in 2028 and 2032

      Would cause the dominoes starting to fall though. Trump is the only person who keeps that whole baggage together for some weird reason. Him going from the picture will lead to the christofascists and technofascists going after each other’s throats.

      A bad person in power dying is not nothing. If your point is that the overall trajectory won’t automatically reverse, fine. Say that instead.

      It’s the people behind the scenes that need purging. I wonder if any democrats at all know what damage is being done by these people and if they have a plan to fix it?

        Demolition is easy. Building is much more complex and time consuming. Even a full 4 yr term with both houses and the presidency wouldn’t rebuild it. For starters, the Democratic Party doesn’t know how to build only how to maintain the status quo.

        Unless we vote in a couple hundred Mamdani’s, not happening.

          Looking at the trend towards socialistic democracy in 18-29 yr olds combined with the ages ppl usually start running for office, I’d say give it 10-25 yrs to show up. Not too bad as far as sweeping changes go I think

      In an even more optimistic universe, he would have been blasted into pieces by one of his victims wielding a shotgun.

      In an even more optimistic universe than the previous one, he would have been jailed back in 2008, alongside with a lot of world leaders, billionaires, etc., for child rape.

    I’m never going to stop being angry that when he does go, if it’s not live on camera, they won’t confirm it for a time, I want the world wide party that follows his demise goddamnit! Even if it doesn’t fix the problems we all deserve to celebrate the end of a virus

      They’ll confirm it Jan 21 2027.

      If they confirm it earlier, JD serves more than half a term making him ineligible for reelection

        Unironically, Popular Science suggested that you pour used motor oil into a gravel filled hole along your back property line in the '50s or '60s. That may actually be what that Fight Club billboard was referencing.

          Uh… What?

          In Fight Club this was a prank, among many others, to mess with people. It was called Project Mayhem.

          The Popular Science tips are akin to things like using old motor oil to keep termites out of a fence post. In an era when paint amd gasoline had lead in it, you could use oil to kill things! The gravel -filled hole was just to keep it from clumping, and putting it at the back of a property would be to keep the property line clear of growth.

            Yes, and when FC was written we had figured out how bad just pouring oil out was for the water table. I’m saying that the author may have been referencing the real PS tips that were severely outdated, when he made up this prank in FC.

            Also, I’m pretty sure oil can still kill things, lead in the gas and paint notwithstanding.

              Yes, I’ve read most of not all of Chuck Palahniuk’s novels. This isn’t in the novel.

              This is the late 90s/early 2000s Hollywood toxic masculinity version of a line from the book (I looked just now):

              For thousands of years, human beings had screwed up and trashed and crapped on this planet, and now history expected me to clean up after everyone. I have to wash out and flatten my soup cans. And account for every drop of used motor oil. And I have to foot the bill for nuclear waste and buried gasoline tanks and landfilled toxic sludge dumped a generation before I was born.

              So, when the movie was made, it struck a hard nerve with Douchbag guys who totally didn’t get the point of the movie. In that vein, the era of late 1990s environmentalism came up against newly forming toxic male tropes. Prior to 9/11, even. After that, time changed dramatically, leaning towards the toxic masculinity side. What you’re seeing is the seeds of this like rolling coal.
