This article is chef's kiss in so many ways.

If Mr Trump is broadly corrupting of American politics, and businesses are seen to profit from his rule, that poses a big risk to them in the future. In Latin America, when big businesses have become associated with autocrats the result was usually that capitalism was discredited and the appeal of socialism rose.
Oh my sides. This is hilarious.

Еrue, if Mr Trump did a deal with Russia that ended the war and sold out Ukraine, that would be bad for Western civilisation. But it would reduce energy bills.
Not muh western civilizatiorinos!

In his first term the economy did better than many economists (including ours) expected. That was in part because Trumponomics turned out to be more moderate than the campaign had promised. The economy was also running further below capacity than thought, making it possible to cut taxes without stoking inflation. Strong overall growth and low inflation masked the damage done by Mr Trump’s protectionism. There is no evidence that Mr Trump has updated his approach: he is still a tax-cuts-and-debt guy.

So business is (and will be) good but it's bad because Orange Man bad!
 
I really hate to play the "they are the real X" card but the fact is that when it comes to economics the current establishment is far closer to Fascism than anything Trump ever did, and likely closer than even FDR at it's worse.

The only business making money are ones openly or covertly in bed with the Fed and playing ball with the regime. We have a de facto corporatist meme going on and it isn't even funny. Remember how Biden snubbed the biggest electric car manufacturer in the US and World because the Elon wasn't playing along and had the audacity to hijack twitter? Classic example.

The fears of the Economist are not to do with the economy, but with Our Economy. Much like the journalists and progressives aren't worried about the democratic system as much as they are worried about Our Democracy.

“Ohhhh Texas wanna close their own border? Whoopsie did I just press the ban liquified natural gas exports button, tee hee”
 
They were writing blackpilled headlines like this just before the midterms. I smell a rat.

They could just be trying to spook and motivate their voter base, or lull conservative voters into complacency. "Appear weak when you are strong", and all that.

I do know that, unlike cuckservatives, shitlibs don't start waving the white flag at the first sign of trouble. Their hubris forbids it.
 
Right now there's a lot of confusion and conflicting reports about that.
Who would they even replace him with? Its not like there's many other people used to commanding a national defense. Wonder if they think he was actually botching the war, or just got angry he wouldn't let them grift as much of the money away, or wouldn't blitz more conscripts against prepared russian positions.
 
Trump isn't winning. If I'm wrong I'll use his Spitting Image puppet as my avatar for the first year of his presidency.

But I almost want him to win so I can watch the meltdown. It could be the Terminator 2 to the original shit fits.
I think he's got good chances, considering how badly Biden's fumbled his first term. But polls this far out are completely garbage for anything beyond 'current event sentiment'. I think it was Gehanna who pointed out that the non-diehards flip their opinions constantly and only really actually figure out who they might vote for right near the voting day itself. If you're not already terminally online, its doubtful you even care about the election at all yet.
 
Well, when there's no actual charging stations being built or EVs being sold, the demand is mostly theoretical.
I'm not sure the "spam the market with an item people are disinterested in" school of capitalism is a viable one, but I've been wrong before.
They would choose someone else but DOCTOR Jill Biden refuses to take the fucking hint.
I'd sooner trust DOCTOR Dre to choose the next president at the rate things are going.
This is someone my mom’s age. Talking about how we need boots on the ground in Yemen over those two poor fuckers involved in the drone strike in… Jordan I think.
Oh, how quickly we forget the past and the lessons it fails to teach us.
 
Big deal on the Texas border wall situation. A Texas dude is appearing to show massive gaps in the wall with no razor wire guards or protection and alleging the whole Texas postering against Biden is a fake dog and pony show.



Fetterman had some sort of spiritual rebirth where he's just calling it how he sees it. I really gotta respect the guy he broke party ranks and just said "Bob Menendez needs to just resign." Do we want politicians that will say whatever is best for their for their reelection or do we want to know what they truly stand for? PA made the right call voting him in over Dr. Oz who is your typical smoothtalker.

I really doubt the Muslims voting block will break any differently 2024, Trump would probably tell Israel to use Nukes. Trump's definitely not going to approve refugees that's for damn sure.

I just think Joe's messaging is just bad, they seriously want to rationalize that the border problem is just due to GOP Representatives not agreeing to a bill made a month ago? Well that just makes Joe sound like he's an ineffective leader. Why is it that Trump could work deals with Pelosi and Schumer, while being impeached!
I bet you money this act is to give him more legitimacy when he turns around and endorses Biden or whoever is the dem candidate.

Maybe I misunderstood but the standoff was over the hole in the specific park that they were filling, and now that they're "clear" they're trying to expand the program to cover more holes. I didn't hear anything about Texas having already plugged every single one. There's hundreds of the damned things after all.

CNN Philippines will stop operations from January 31 due to “significant financial losses”, its owner announced Monday, in the latest blow for the media industry in the Southeast Asian nation.

The broadcaster began operating in the Philippines in 2015 as a franchise of CNN, delivering mainly English-language news on free-to-air, cable and pay television.

Staff were told Monday of the decision to shut down news and production operations on all platforms.

“The decision follows significant financial losses sustained over the past years, despite rigorous efforts to adapt and innovate in a rapidly evolving and challenging media landscape,” CNN Philippines-owner Nine Media Corporation said, without providing details.
2016 started - died in 2024 no money in the news.

I get better news, faster and accurate too from conspiratard alt right telegram media channels while all the MSM will need 24 hrs to figure out what angle to use and what they can lie about and get away with it . No surprise there

This is not the first time I've seen the claim that if Trump wins and ends the Ukraine situation then Western civilization is dead. Which is hilarious because the people who want the Ukraine war so badly are the same people who hate and denigrate Western culture and want it replaced with endless brown slaves.
