@NYBrian2A@PatRyanUC The only "fraud" it found was things the administration disagreed with politically. We absolutely need to reform waste, fraud, and abuse in government, but DOGE did not do that. They ended up costing more money to be spent while important programs scrambled to reconstitute.
@IllegalSadBunny I am calling YOU a fascist. I agree with grok that America is not a fully fascist state, but Trump is actively trying to push us towards it.
@FierceLionPrv28@PatRyanUC What fucking wins has Trump provided? He dragged us into another middle east war, the stock market is collapsing, gas is going through the roof, and it takes 5 hours to get on a flight.
@Ceuta18@PatRyanUC Iran has been 2 weeks from a bomb since 1995. The late Ayatollah issued a fatwah banning the development of a nuclear weapon. With his death we either have more hard-line leaders in power, or thousands of US soldiers dead in a ground invasion.
@vly32468333@Acyn I like the old Soviet joke:
A man goes to the newspaper stand everyday and just looks at the front page. Finally the clerk asks him what are you looking for?
The obituaries.
But they are not on the front page.
The one I'm waiting for will be.
@Ceuta18@PatRyanUC What kind of drugs are you on? No one thinks the Iranian government is good. We just don't think the correct response to that is to blow up an elementary school.
@Ceuta18@PatRyanUC Trump's entire cabinet is wearing shoes that don't fit them because they are afraid of offending Trump. I think we know who is being led around on a leash.
@nickgillespie@NateSilver538 Actually opposition is growing, not support is falling. I mean technically it is, but 0.7% is within the margin of error. I know I'm nitpicking but words matter.
@JustynTyme_@kaitlancollins@ksadjadpour That is not going to happen in the US. We are a net exporter and it is incredibly convoluted to redirect our supplies to other countries. However it is a global commodity so that will not save us from the price increases. Asia, Australia, maybe Europe, yeah there may be rationing
@KrishnaAnand_@kaitlancollins@ksadjadpour Trump was surprised, not the US. I'm sure all of the generals were telling him this was going to happen and he just waved them off. Israel also knew this was going to happen, they just didn't care.
@JustynTyme_@kaitlancollins@ksadjadpour I think that is a very optimistic timeline. Physical scarcity is going to become a very real problem in some places in about 3 weeks and prices will jump very quickly after that.
