    This is what I find so hilarious about our DT posters who rag on aggy. Oh, so you have identical beliefs concerning economics, race, religion, education, taxation, politics, and social issues as aggy,

This era will go down as a worse own-goal than Brexit

I keep saying it, but we’re at the tip of the iceberg. It’s going to get so much worse

See the 13th Amendment.  They won't even have to repeal it, just really put it to use:

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

Make all immigration offenses (no matter how small) a crime.  And, because you can't deport everyone, and thus you have to "detain them indefinitely," boom -- you have a convict labor force as big as you want.  And here's the fantastic irony:

Before, Jose, Jorge, and Mario worked at the meat packing plant earning $15 an hour.

Now, detainees Jose, Jorge, and Mario are part of a detainee crew, managed by PrisonCorp....working in that exact same meat packing plant.  Except now, PrisonCorp is paid $10 an hour for their labor.  The meat packing plant saves $5 an hour.  PrisonCorp is making bank on Jose, Jorge, and Mario's labor.  And Jose, Jorge, and Mario are essentially slaves to PrisonCorp and the meat packing plant for life.

WINNING!

100%.  And truly, it's going to be an own goal that blows Brexit out of the fucking water.  Taking the economy that was the envy of the world, and completely fucking kneecapping it....for no sane or good reason at all.

Brexit looks like the Louisiana Purchase compared to this shit. This will actively tear down the US economy. China is now seen globally as the hope to offer global economic stability against the US economic implosion. 30 years ago that was unfathomable

Non-zero chance we destroyed our economy because Russia told us to.

I mean, I almost wish it was that linear and sinister.  But it's not.  We're destroying our economy because stupid narcissist.  That's it.  That's what's happening.

An analogy that occurred to me out dove hunting yesterday was the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones.  Jimmy Johnson coached that Cowboys to a stack of Super Bowl rings.  It was universally agreed that Jimmy had done amazing things, he was the primary driver of one of the most successful stretches in NFL history.

Jerry Jones couldn't handle that Jerry was getting all the credit, and that people didn't think that JERRY was the most genius football person ever.  So, he fired Jimmy, to prove that he was actually the real super genius, and under his leadership, the Cowboys would soar to incredible heights.  But to distance himself from Jimmy and what he did, Jerry had to approach things differently.  So he did. And has.  And continues to do so.  And the Cowboys have wandered in the desert for 30 years.

Trump could not handle the fact that October of last year, at the end of Biden's term, the near universal take was that the US economy had outperformed almost every expectation.  It was major cover-story material:

20241019_DE_US.jpg

That fucking got under Trump's skin like you couldn't imagine.  Trump had to prove that his approach -- which would have to be very different from Biden's approach -- was light-years better.  That Trump was the greatest economic geenyus the world has ever seen.

To do that, he had to take a different approach like Jerry Jones did.  And as a result, we are on the road to being the Dallas Cowboys of the next 30 years.  For nothing.  For no good reason at all.  Jerry could have left Jimmy in place, and shit, they may have won another 2-3 SBs (instead of the one gimme under Switzer).  Trump could have just continued the Biden approach, claimed credit for our continued success, and that would be that.  But his narcissist brain wouldn't be satisfied by anything LESS than "sir, with tears in my eyes, you're 10X the economic thinker Biden ever was."  So, here we are.  Burning it all down because hey, that's different than what Biden did, and that's what's most important.

It's so fucking stupid.

I actually have.  It sucks and the pay is shitty.  But I'll give it another go if I must down the line.

Really interesting video came across my feed wrt/ farmers voting for trump and now enjoying the economic consequences

TLDW: farmers knew trump was going to do all of this, they voted for him anyways because they were CERTAIN there would be some unquantified benefit to having him in office. This famer's opinion was that the farmers were mainly tunnel-visioned on tax breaks because of their large estates, and completely ignored the downsides that were on-the-tin. "We were lied to" is a lie.

 

edit: just saw it was posted in the Leopards Eating Faces thread last night, derp

Not sure who is more difficult to feel sorry for, o&g or the farmers. Both are directly impacted by the man they voted for.

Great video. She didn't say it but I took away that farmers will never vote Democrat so don't waste time courting them. Yes they don't like tariffs but they love fewer EPA regulations and farm workers (particularly migrant) rights. Neither of which Democrats should or will support.

Sure you can. Just, you know, not for anything good.

One of the things you could count on Libertarians for was being right on civil liberties. I guess fuck that. So what are they even good for? Giving more power to our corrupt big tech overlords I guess. For freedom.

What’s the saying? Libertarians are either Republicans who like drugs or Democrats who don’t wanna pay taxes?

What percentage of the American workforce have contracts? I'm going to assume that is a pretty small number.

Also, Maria, go fuck yourself. "It is always conservatives being targeted"? Bullshit!

Hearing Republicans speak of moral clauses while they proudly support a rapist, amoral leader is just dandy. Thank God health care isn’t frequently, intentionally tied to employment or they’d really have us over a barrel.
