It's stunning when you realize exactly how many things trump f*cked up in less than 2 years.
HILARIOUS when a song nails it perfectly.
THIS IS BRILLIANT!!!🔥🔥🔥
Let me see if I have this straight: in 2026, the President of the United States
1Wants to reduce military exercises with key ally South Korea because he thinks he has a “good relationship” with Kim Jong Un, the North Korean dictator who leads a country that can’t feed itself, jails and executes hundreds of thousands of its own people, and props up its economy by counterfeiting U.S. currency and international pharmaceuticals, and renting out its military to Russia
2Wants U.S. Navy battleships to return to outdated technologies to have more of a “World War II aesthetic” because he thinks they “looked better” regardless of their current advanced warfighting capabilities
3Threatens to “bomb the shit out of” a longtime Gulf region ally who has worked to rescue American hostages from Iran, back channeled sensitive, covert communications between the U.S. and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps over the Iraq war and other regional crises, and is now helping to facilitate secret oil tanker loading to circumvent the Straits of Hormuz and stabilize global energy prices
4But stands by a Defense Secretary who prioritizes testosterone therapy to make “better warfighters” over the well being of an aircraft carrier crew that’s been at sea for nine months and is stretched to the breaking point
Yeah, this guy is compromised by a foreign intelligence service, everything he does is good for our enemies’ morale…
Our allies don’t trust us…..
Our enemies don’t fear us……
Dangerously Incompetent
DONALD J. TRUMP
It takes 1.28 seconds for a message to reach us from the Moon.
It takes as little as 35 minutes from Jupiter.
It takes as little as 4.5 hours from Pluto.
It takes at least 6-12 months from NYT reporters, plus $30 for the book containing it.
@thepromise2026 Get fing real! You all are laughable with your "Comrades" comment. Comrades are communist. You know, like Russia, North Korea and China.
@thepromise2026 GTFOH! What have you done for me latley? Absolutly nothing! I am 66 and a life long Dem who just recently changed my registration to Independent. Progressive candidates are what we want! The middle has gotten us NOWHERE!
There’s a generation a lot of people forget exists. We were born at the tail end of the Boomers, but we are not culturally the same as people born in the 40s and early 50s. We are Generation Jones.
And honestly, it explains a lot.
We grew up in a world that still felt fundamentally analog, but we were young enough to be dragged headfirst into the digital revolution. We are the bridge generation between rotary phones and smartphones, between slide rules and AI, between Walter Cronkite and algorithm driven media.
We remember when there were only a few television channels and the entire country watched the same thing at the same time. We also adapted to the internet, email, forums, social media, streaming and now artificial intelligence. We lived before and after the technological singularity hit everyday life.
That is not a small thing.
People born in the 40s came of age in a post World War II America that was still industrial, deeply hierarchical and institutionally stable. Their formative years were shaped by the Cold War, Vietnam, the civil rights era and a society where information moved slowly.
Generation Jones came later. We inherited the aftermath of all of that.
We were the kids who watched Watergate destroy blind trust in government. We watched manufacturing begin to collapse. We saw divorce rates explode. We were the first truly latchkey generation in massive numbers. We learned independence early because many of us had to.
We grew up with one foot in old America and one foot in whatever this new thing was becoming.
We played outside until the streetlights came on but we also learned DOS commands. We learned cursive and keyboarding. We had card catalogs and Google searches. We went from vinyl records to cassette tapes to CDs to MP3s to streaming in one lifetime.
We remember maps. We remember memorizing phone numbers. We remember life before GPS and before every human interaction became filtered through a screen.
And because of that, I think Generation Jones developed a very unique perspective. We are adaptable because we had no choice but to adapt. We learned technology as adults instead of being born into it. We remember a slower world but were forced to survive in a rapidly accelerating one.
That creates a very different mindset than either older Boomers or younger Gen X and Millennials.
A lot of us also reject the caricature people now associate with “Boomers.” We were not buying houses for the cost of a sandwich in 1965. The interest rate on my first house was over 14% and that was after buying down a point. Many of us got hit by recessions, outsourcing, pension collapses and economic instability just like younger generations did. We watched promises evaporate in real time.
We understand older generations because we were raised by them. We understand younger generations because we had to evolve alongside them.
That’s why the Jones generation often feels culturally homeless. We are rarely discussed, rarely defined and usually lumped into categories that don’t actually fit us.
But we exist.
We are the human transition point between the industrial age and the digital age.
And frankly, there will probably never be another generation quite like us again.
@TopEnz@Supersonic_Red@MikeyDiMercurio Yep my first house purchase in 1983, we got 10% because the owner carried the contract. We could not have afforded it otherwise.
In the Portland Metro area, public transit accounts for 1.3% of passenger-miles with cars carrying close to 95%.
TriMet's plan is to remove half the through lanes on 82nd Avenue and run up to six buses per hour at the cost of about $45 million per mile. For the cost and convenience to commuters, there are better solutions.
