The orange ogre carries out is necessary. Not in his first disastrous term, not in this one. Not the wars. He just breaks shit because he wants to - that includes the DOGE bullshit.
There really are no words. A fiction writer could not come up with the shit he pulls or says.

So much that's laughable, and so much that's tragic.
The same is true of most of our media, these days.
And the same is true of the tech lords, and especially the AI bros.
Assuming these psychotic clowns don't destroy society and the planet before they're removed from power, the historians writing about this era - the Era of Insanity, the Era of Stupidity - are going to have so much to try to explain.

And if we can't stop them, we're likely to end up with a society where no one can read books, and most people are kept distracted playing like children generating AI slop while the AI companies tell them how creative they are.

(876 posts)The paradox is, according to Epstein, so does BiBi. Israel needs a strong US economy and US military. Russia needs the opposite.
Are they both manipulating him? When will one get pissed enough about the other's influence to finally expose whatever they have if we don't already know about it? And when will Prince Andrew spill some beans?
