This is all the electrical twitching of a clogged and dying brain which never developed past five years old due to lack of education and discipline.
Thought experiment: Imagine how it would be if Trump weren't currently on every available dementia drug and other treatment to keep him going.

Food supply was a non-trivial crisis in WW2, its worse now.uziq wrote:
i suspect this had more to do with autarky and the sudden harrassing of seaborne trade by the germans, not the fact that england was maxing out its malthusian capacity. you love that claptrap. on the contrary, britain embarked on one of the biggest house-building sprees in its history in the immediate wake of ww2. that's rather where this modern myth of home ownership began for the vast majority of the population.
green field sites are more about arts & crafts ruritarianism and quaint national trust conservationism than it is about 'we can't feed ourselves'. the british government have been fucking over farmers in numerous ways in recent years, which leads me to think our food supply isn't near the top of the national crisis list.
Very weird that the govt is going after multi-generation farmers, mostly white, 'because inter-generational wealth transfer is bad' so farmland and the country side can be built over to allow an increasing population, much of it immigration, to build inter-generational wealth 'because inter-generational wealth transfer is good'.
Its a big fat gift to reform however you look at it.

We are lifting sanctions on Iran, giving them access to frozen funds, and putting together a $300 billion investment fund.
They are reopening the strait and promised to not make a nuclear weapon.

Isn't that what Obama did?

your renamed 'department of war' immediately went on the offensive and is so far 0 – 1.
iran was more or less a contained entity before you embarked on this war. now they are the de facto owners of the strait of hormuz, the gulf allies are cowed and wary of getting too close to US-israel, europe thinks diplomacy with trump is practically impossible and the US is no longer a dependable ally, and the world generally is aware of the importance of actors like china in mediating global oil supplies and absorbing supply shocks. further, we've had a practical demonstration that the world system of trade and supply can tick along nicely trading in renminbi.
the US's hegemonic status and myth of military supremacy is thoroughly tarnished.
you spent $300 billion to kill a 90-year-old who was gonna die soon of cancer. oh and you got to test your new AI defense and intelligence systems by murdering 100 school girls.

complete fiasco. orders of magnitude more money to iran than obama ever did. "investment fund," not reparations? lmao. all so this senescent fossil could play 'war president.'
the deal doesn't even mean anything. trump said he'd start bombing again if the mood struck. america is earth's florida.
it saddened me more to learn Major oak died than trump's inevitable demise ever will. https://www.theguardian.com/environment … r-oak-dies
what a fucked up final stretch for a tree's life. some of the excerpts from the above are egregious human mismanagement. who came up with the idea of filling it with concrete? wtf? trampled and slathered in toxic waste while struggling against man-made climate change.

I think Trump and Hegseth failing entirely are about level with each other.
Whats even better than both is Netanyahu's entire life's work - 40 years spent trying to troll America into attacking Iran - has failed utterly.

Also I should think China now knows how to track and shoot down 'stealth' aircraft and figured out every other useful aspect of US military capability, having spent the Iran war sucking up all the available data.
This is all bad for Australia, completely dependent on the no longer dependable US for defence, Australia not only not having a multi-layered defence but not really having one single layer of defence to speak of.

i am tired of hearing about trump's reflecting pool stuff. i don't give a shit about the reflecting pool.
people need to go reflect on the iranian schoolgirls america murdered, and the ongoing, blind support for israel's ongoing war crimes.
trump will need some new lying ai about the before/after. maybe dig out that one before/after pic with the bird and the clouds in the same spot. maybe some central american drug dealers with dubious generative ai features.
fuck the reflecting pool. why does the reflecting pool get money, but we shutter/defund so many other services. it would be poetic if the washington monument toppled onto some maga senators before this is all over.

Its emblematic of Trump and America's decline.
At least its the tallest pool in the world, or something.

saying you’re going to drain the swamp, and then creating an actual literal swamp, all because the basics of pool care and quite simple science eludes you, is deeply funny - i’m sorry.
if you didn't say it, i would have. i think it's tacky anyway. i would rather visit a natural pond.
a third of the white house demolished, ufc octagon, swampwater pool. like we kind of got the kennedy center back, but it's going to be such a generations-long chore getting the rest of trump's germs off everything. i would vote to change it back to the DoD as well.
can we get rid of this star trek nerd copyright infringement? it's like the mirror universe where everyone has an evil mustache.

i don't really know that neoclassical monuments commemorating some of the greatest moments in your nation's history are 'tacky'. the lincoln memorial isn't tacky. having motorcross bikes jump over ramps to kid rock music in front of the lincoln memorial sure is tacky. in fact, i think we need a new vocabulary to describe this level of herrenvolk decadence.
you are right. i am not seeing the forest in these posts. there is value in commemoration. i blame donald trump though for squeaking over in his clown shoes and taking a big dump on everything he can bend over and aim his asshole at. i think it would be more fulfilling to go boating around the sound on a summer vacation than travel across the country to see the goblined wreckage of the us capitol in 2026.
he painted it blue!
this is tacky.
said vandals messed it up, with no evidence.
i wonder if he had to be talked out of putting his name on it, too. now i guess he's going to drain it? again? just do it right the first time.
anyhow, for all the historic photos of this place, it's still a giant rectangle, and i'm tired of it appearing in all my feeds. while we're doing this, americans are being wiped out by his policy. parks, public programs, education, science, all suffer. so much as the word 'gender' in a document and the eye of sauron is upon you.

how many boaters have we murdered in the GuLf oF aMeRiCa now?
painting it blue which would predictably encourage algae growth, lol.
and then dumping bleach into the pool, which would predictably strip the just-applied paint right back off.
just priceless really. from the administration that had had enough of experts. indeed.

aren't they citing, detaining, and arresting people who so much as get near the flaking substance in trump's mad king bid to blame vandalism and sabotage? yet another reason to stay away. imagine stubbing your toe on a curb and being fined for chipping a bit of loose paint off.

Now that Trump lost a war against Iran, he will compensate by terrorizing American citizens.

They renamed the Department of Defense to the Department of War. They then fired and blocked the promotion of all minority generals. Lost a war against Iran. Terrorized American citizens with ICE before, during, and after losing the war.
straight out of central casting. only in america do you find these ludicrous character archetypes. it's a nation composed of personalities from b-movies and off-broadway, uttering tv script banalities and comic book clichés.

His wife is actually hot though, or is that his daughter?
Apparently they filled the pool with phosphate-laden river water, not rainwater, which really helped the algae.
Its shame science was completely discredited, this could have been avoided.
I'd be doubtful peroxide had any impact on the coating at all.
In the same way that silver plating titanium is not for casuals, coating soggy decades-old concrete really has to be done right to have any chance of working.

nobody who hangs around with the mar-a-lago set is "hot". they all look like ghouls. see also: jeff bezos' succubus wife.
there is a very distinct trump circle aesthetic, normally heavy on plastic surgery and various other augmentations, that make them all look like living gargoyles and grotesques. their features are accentuated and exaggerated, as if they're trying to emulate an 'instagram' look achieved using camera filters and AI enhancements. they are simply cartoonish and in no ways beautiful in the way that, say, the bright young things or jazz age elites were in similar times of elite capture and rampant inequality.

the super-rich and powerful in our current epoch are singularly marked out by their tastelessness and vulgarity. as in their (lack of) philanthropic giving and public noblesse oblige, so in their tastes and habits of consumption. foul pigs.

we're urged not to jump to conclusions, but obviously democratic malcontents are secretly killing ducks and floating them in the water to make trump look bad.
