Trump is what happens when every single person who was supposed to stop him and had the power to do so has been incentivized not to, for one reason or another. He's the Chernobyl of people.

Welp, Trump is already threatening to withhold federal funding for New York for daring to elect Mamdani, and Congress is going further by threatening to deport him outright. New York newspapers, you have one job. Report this story with the giant headline "TRUMP TO CITY: DROP DEAD"

The future WALL-E threatened us with is looking more and more like a possibility.

"Sir, I think you've gone mad with power." "Of course I have. Have you ever gone mad without power? It's boring; no one listens to you."

I also find it more than a little self defeating for him to be posting these rants on a social network for racist uncles. Like yeah no duh he's getting pushback on them; he's doing the digital equivalent of staging a one-man protest in the middle of rural Texas.

New York City might as well be its own independent city-state, as far as the world stage and especially its own citizens are concerned. Like you know the stereotype that Americans think of the US as the only country in existence on a map beyond the borders of which Here Be Monsters? New Yorkers...

"Created one of the biggest food companies on the planet" is probably overselling it a bit considering Kraft just by itself used to be part of an even bigger one. I remember it was Kraft, Nabisco, Post Cereal, and like a dozen other things (which to be fair are all probably still part of one of...

I've heard that name before; aren't they the same people who leaked Project 2025 or something?

Just remember, if you see people shoplifting, no you haven't.

Considering that his customer base has always skewed towards the wealthy, it's surprising it hasn't happened yet.

Replacing humans with machines failed to collapse the economy every other time it's been done, for one reason or another. You're probably not wrong, but to a lot of important people our warnings must sound suspiciously like "This time there really is a wolf!"

The economy is full of thneeds. It's darn near dependent on them. As Calvin's mom once said, "if people thought about real issues and needs instead of manufactured desires, the economy would collapse and we'd have total anarchy." I think deep down, we all know this, but no one wants to admit...

Being rich doesn't lead to greed; it's the other way around. Greed is the state someone is in to start with, and tends to make it much easier to do the horrible things that are necessary to amass that much wealth in the first place.

Especially the man who's currently next in line.

The only man capable of fat-fingering his keypad with such tiny hands.

Unfortunately he can still do that without being there in person. They should figure out a way to ban him from doing that too, even if it means physically unplugging the entire country from our part of the internet.

No kidding. Amazon operates three separate streaming services, and I have no idea what's on any of them.

He'll only be coming for the guns owned by liberals. As few of them as there are. And his supporters and the NRA will welcome it.

I checked just now, and according to Wikipedia, WarnerMedia not only still owns the entire MGM and United Artists back catalog up to 1986(!!!) but also acquired the distribution rights to the rest of their films back in 2020. Given that, I'm not sure what Bezos even bought other than the rights...

Yeah they are. This government has proven time and time again that it can shut down whatever constitutional rights it wants to. It just doesn't want to this time.
