Trump was maybe the first time in modern history the ruling class became overconfident. And thought they had the stranglehold on the media that would give them the win. But the internet meme game subverted things. Then you noticed after 2016, suddenly there needed to be a crusade against "misinformation". Reddit, Facebook, Google, Twitter, Youtube all pledged to fight it. Then the purges started happening. The internet needed to be controlled by those in power.
Recently a story came out
Except theres no source. Just "its be reported by an unknown source/recording" Which makes me think it's another "nuke the hurricanes" story.

Because America is a two party system and ruthlessly crushes any third party that comes along and gains enough traction to kneecap one of the two in an election.
In particular, after Perot cost Bush 1992 and Nader cost Gore in 2000, they've gotten hyper aggressive crushing third party types and left rival parties utterly impotent at best or forced to resort to entryism to infiltrate existing parties due to the fact that there is no other way to get elected.
Hillary was promised the Presidency no matter what as payment for spending the past 20+ years in a loveless marriage with an adulterer who's adultery nearly got him removed from the Presidency and who only survived that scandal, in part because Hillary stood by Bill as opposed to divorcing him and giving him the ultimate vote of no confidence that would have damned him if said promise was not made to her.
Also, the Clintons have kept an iron grip on the DNC iron throne in part to ensure that Hillary got her payment of the Presidency and actively despises Obama/Biden for not only beating Hillary in 2008 but also wrestling control over the party away from them after 2018 with Biden getting the nomination.
Hillary has survived as long as she has survived purely to become President. And the DNC probably blames Obama insisting Biden get the nomination for their current problems.

Man, I can't imagine how @Gehenna's workplace is handling this mess. Bet they can't wait to get him back in the office. Shit must be on fire.

You mean they can't wait for him to get situated in his new home outside of the country.

Trump got fucked by the GOP in 2020, just look at all of the shitheads who went against him with things like the Lincoln Project, Mitch McConnell, Romney, and Bush jr. who sucks Michael Obama off nightly. Trump is not some savior, but he's just some retard who fucked with the political system and won, which showed how much the political system with the aid of the media is grasping at power in complete dread. The good part is the political system and media is probably dying, the bad thing is we have no idea what's on the other side and it can be rather fucked in its own right. I can see the US becoming the Soviet Union of our generation, this massive and intimidating entity that is shown to have no real power and retains some semblance of unity but probably has some level of balkanization and never really recaptures it's past standing. Maybe that's a good thing.

That's just it, and that's one reason I'm grateful for Trump no matter how this all plays out - The left are still mostly braindead but more and more on the right are waking up to the reality that a lot of "republicans" have been more than happy to pitch in with the dems on fucking us all over as long as they profited. Just this week I've overheard the effects of Tuckers crusade against Graham come up in conversation with people IRL, and no voting Republican I know trusts Romney, Cruz, Graham etc as far as they could throw them. So, whether we all go down or not, at least more people are realizing we have been getting fucked over from the very start and by our own side as well.

Out of all the options, if I had to pick someone, I'd go with Trump. Though I'd like to see a push for smaller government in a real meaningful way.

The $2 bag of pork rinds has removed the $2, opening up price increases. I expect Arizona to remove the $0.99 from the can soon.

I remember reading they kept it at .99 for so long by upping the % of it that is water to stay inline with inflation.
Although it looks like Brandon's hyperinflation will finally knock it over the edge and it would be too watery to keep it at .99

As a Canadian lemme tell ya that a third party would just become a glorified second branch of democrats. That's what the NDP are up here.

That explains why I don't find them as good as they used to be. They're still good, but now I prefer the gallon jugs of it you can get at the store.

I'm more angry today about politics than I've been since Election Night 2020.
"We need to make sure we make enough oil that we can avoid unexpected disasters" seems like something anyone could grasp, but over and over, our leaders sit on their hands, wait until they drive everyone into poverty, and then use the crunch to extract more money from Americans for more projects that will never happen.
I'm just so sick of it.
