End of the line yes. This is no longer something that is recoverable within a single generation. There’s some hope that our grandchildren or thereabouts can put things right, but I’m halfway through (40’s) and I fully expect every year after this to get objectively worse until I die.
In their defense, they killed more terrible emperors than good ones.
Pertinax though… I’ll never forgive them for that. Who knows how the entire world would look now if he’d been emperor for a decade or more…
My prediction: he croaks at around 3 years in, Vance takes over temporarily while one of his sons or Jared is prepared to be a “candidate” for a rigged vote after that.
However it goes, USA is never getting rid of this parasite again, even if he dies. Too many critical organs have been fatally infected.
I feel like most people still haven’t accepted the fact that they’re done voting. They’re talking about weathering a particularly rough 4 years - wrong.
You handed him the keys to the city and he’s never giving them back. “Oh, but he’s old, he’ll probably croak before the end of his term.”. Yeah, and that’s when you get one of his failsons or Jared as a new prez-for-life.
This is a bed USA has made and they’ll now have to lie in it.
Most obvious use for it would be to have “life-like” npc’s with somewhat believable lives and backstories. Still, it’ll be interesting (and potentially hilarious) to see how they can be manipulated etc.
Matt & Trey are gonna have a hard time with the new season as well. Almost anything they can come up with will be overshadowed by reality within the week.
This is allegedly also why true geniuses suffer. Imagine being smarter than 95% of people and being keenly aware of it.
Wait, so explicit proof of climate change makes them deny it even harder? Can’t deny that all those homes are now gone though, wherever they may place the blame.
We’re right back to fucking feudalism really. The local lords and ladies all kissing the new emperor’s ring, while he’s wearing no clothes…
Something tells me the people of Taiwan also better be prepared for the coming 4 years. Trump is liable to just hand it over to china on a whim.
NWO has always just been a buzzword for corptocracy, even when Bush sr. first used the term.
Must’ve been a long time ago, since hardly anyone seems to remember…
I feel like Smith at least tried while he had his hands tied by the people who were supposed to make his job easier. History will not be kind to any of them though, circumstances be damned. I hope at least some of them have to live with the consequences of their own actions, but I feel very sorry indeed for the millions who had no hand in the decision.
Depending on how things evolve, you can use this calendar as a bingo card.
This is a game of whack-a-mole with dire ramifications.
That explains why they can go under the prices of the competition. Can’t go much cheaper than slave labour.
Accussed? If I remember, he did interfere with the election in America by trying to ‘purchase’ votes (Insanity that this is allowed);
Citizens United ruling says money is speech. So in the US, this is unfortunately 100% legal.
Not in the EU though…
It’s slowly becoming a point of abject loathing. Many of us openly laugh at Tesla drivers, not in the least because they’ve taken the crown of “deadbeat drivers” from BMW & Mercedes a long time ago. See an asshole on the road? 66% chance it’s a Tesla.
Musk needs to die. He’s the single most dangerous person on the planet, moreso than Trump himself or even Putin.
I hope some brave schmuck close to him is prepared to sacrifice everything. I would do it myself if there was any realistic chance of success.
And before this disappears due to “advocating violence” - he and his ilk don’t just advocate violence but actually visit it upon us, on a daily basis. Fuck off with your righteousness. Tyrants should never be suffered.
The police still shoot with beanbags. Something tells me the national guard is using live ammo in the same scenario.
