6611I really think this whole "general strike" concept is pie-in-the-sky shit, but it would put a hurting on our beloved oligarchs.
I'd rather be throwing darts.

Yes, I agree with all of this. I was just pointing out the blatant propaganda which feels to me like a defensive position, especially after killing two guys hanging onto an already blown-up, by us, boat. Seems to me like killing prisoners at that point.
Sounds like Trump may be throwing Hegseth under the bus shortly anyway.
Any trial of Hegseth for war crimes ought to wait until Trump leaves office.

6614Anybody read reports on the economic impact of the immigration policy? It seems we might need to brace for disaster.
Re: Politics
6616I've seen predictions of the US economy shrinking by almost 20% in the next 3 years from the immigration policy alone. When you chuck in the downturn in tourism, tariff chaos etc. disaster could well be the right word.cakes wrote: Tue Dec 02, 2025 9:47 am Anybody read reports on the economic impact of the immigration policy?

6617Well, half the voting assholes wanted this fucking disaster. Otherwise, they wouldn't have elected a demented sociopath and his cadre of Botox'd cronies. Our economy is fucked.

Re: Politics
6620Yep. I've read some totally moderate, mainstream journalism and the immigration policy is costing us billions in growth. These fools think a handful of Catholics and Calvinists can outfuck a closed border as our population stagnates. The mythology of what America is and how immigration works is a real problem. Foreign born energy and work ethic has powered this country from its beginning.Curry Pervert wrote: Tue Dec 02, 2025 11:38 amI've seen predictions of the US economy shrinking by almost 20% in the next 3 years from the immigration policy alone.
