Also, FYI, the term “planned obsolescence” comes from 1930’s England, where it was proposed as a means to escape the Great Depression.

Nah, it came from America. The guy who coined it was called Bernard London, which might be where your confusion comes from.

Actually, no. There is something worse that can be done. It's just never been done before. It is an unwritten and ceremonial rule of the US Congress.

If a member(s) of Congress becomes so recalcitrant that even the Sergeant at Arms cannot restore order, the Speaker of the House may direct the Sergeant at Arms to present the Mace of the House of Representatives.

Once the Mace has been presented, the speaker is allowed to wield the Mace as a weapon against the members defying the chair. In a very literal sense. He can bash it over their heads and potentially kill them.

The Mace has been presented on rare occasions and whatever dispute caused the presentation swiftly ended.

holy shit I want a replica of that

I've just realised John Felted-man missed ANOTHER massive opportunity for a PR win. If he were the only democrat to stand and clap for no tax on tips, overtime, social security; if he were the only democrat to stand and clap for the cancer kid or the russian penal victim, he would immediately be seen as 'the reasonable one' and had a +15 boost to his opinion ratings. He's again completely fucking up his 2028 chances by failing again and again to be seen as any moderate, democrat-capable-of-bipartisanship potential candidate which he alluded to trying to be.
What a gigantic fucking retard.

wife and I observed that this would have been a hell of a great time for somebody to stunt by standing up and literally walking over to the GOP side of the aisle

There are no service fittings on any fridge I've seen taken apart, so you'd be doing soldering or using puncture type fittings, and I'm not even sure if you can buy the proper refrigerants without a license.

Manufacturers don't want R600a (pure isobutane) leaking out so the service ports are omitted.

 

[Fishmalk Observer]

I made $600 yesterday I don’t know why you faggots care so much about that.

You were the retard seething about it, retarded nigger faggot. Something like the economy going to shit because your retarded nigger ass lost 400.
Can we expect you to praise trump econ now because you made it back or you just gonna continue seething ?

 

[porkWellington]

So during the speech the Democrat #TheResistance(TM) was on full display, then in their rebuttal they brought out a moderate to apologize for leaving the middle class behind and to beg for their trust again?

This is the political equivalent of a guy dumping his girlfriend, getting drunk with his friends, confronting her new boyfriend and getting escorted out by security, then calling her the next day to apologize and say you're a better man.

I remember one guy in my former circles unironically claimed the mace was proof that the US was a fascist dictatorship. Because it's a bundle of sticks, you see, and the fact that they didn't immediately change it during or after the war means they agreed with hitler.

Why would I praise the Trump economy if we’re entering into a recession. Payroll data is bad. The Friday economic report will be a come to Jesus moment for those still not indoctrinated full in the MAGAcult.

There’s “common sense” knowing all this policy will do is make this exacerbated pop happen a year earlier, and then there’s believing every lie you’re told without doing the slightest research into basic facts about how the American system of economics works.

I know you guys do it on purpose, but god damned does is get tiring and frustrating to see people making the argument that the Biden economy was good even though his department of labor put out fake jobs numbers every single month

It’s 3 months into Trump. When will you stop blaming Biden?

Biden wasn’t the one whose number fell by half the expected amount in February 2025 regarding private payroll. He’s on some beach eating choco choco chip. Stop blaming the punching bag and ask your politicians to actually do something beneficial for the common man by fixing employment. We are at the highest levels of joblessness for the middle class in a decade. What happened to all that day 1 bullshit, was it just purely performative?

 

[The Last Stand]

For my money, the strangest part of the night was watching the dems go sour grapes so hard thart they couldn't even be moved for the cancer kid.

It has been a fucking *generation* since I saw optics this bad from a political party, and I'm old enough to remember Strom Thurmond.

And Trump, as ever, owns any public appearance, clowning on Congress with triumphant style. Still not fully used to a president who actively shitposts, kind of love it.

Remember that they kneeled for the death of George Floyd and chastised anybody and everybody that stood against it as racist. A drug addicted career criminal was worth celebrating than a cancer child to them. Let that sink in.

Eight more years!

When you stop sucking nigger dicks. Trump entire 1st term economic high point pre pandemic was attributed to Obama by rabid faggots and econoniggers. Then when leftist faggot states closed everything for the coof THEN it was trump fault. Now, we are 40 days into trump 2 and he should already have unfucked cornpop recession ?

 

[Clobber3]

>you either agree 100% or not at all
Only a retard speaks in absolutes.

Idk I was arguing with it some europoors over this and one of them claimed “it depends” on their moral view of how just a war is whether they would fight for their country. Started because of this pic.

I think all of the don’t know people are cowards and retarded 5th columnists who just aren’t being honest with themselves.

You’re either loyal and willing to fight for your country or not. If you aren’t you aren’t. No lists of pros and cons, moralism, its fight or flight in my eyes.

The first year of Trump was miserable. Did your goldfish brain forget that? Nobody could buy a house or car. The economy he built on a foundation of bullshit crumbled at the stress of a global event. Not very strong or efficient now was it?

hahahaha it must feel like it for doomers, get fucked

That it’s 3 months into Trump’s admin? Yeah, can you count? January, February, March. How many months is that?

As far as I'm aware beyond tariff policy - which I am mixed on - and nixing a shitton of government bloat including USAID and the IRS (and apparently auiditing Fort Knox), the Congress literally hasn't even passed any tax or business legislation yet. The issues with the economy aren't some superficial crud to be brushed aside. They are systemic issues built up over a 110 years since the founding of the Fed and no politician is going to try to tackle it. Even Austrian-School Milei is afraid of actually tackling his central bank as much as it needs to be. Supply side economics will stabilize government revenues and increase productivity, and supply chain issues will be fixed with the increase of oil production which had been gutted by the Biden Admin since 2021. If you want some miracle cure to truly save the economy, you're going to need someone willing to repeal decades of patent law and subsidies, and curb the federal reserve.

Ok so I tried to look up some key takea2ays from trumps speech yesterday, because I didn't watch it live and I. Am not going to sit through and sort through this thread to find the points. So I tried to find an article and they all said the same retarding things, not the speech mind you the.articles themselves, they all complained about egg prices as a gotcha or did a lot of “urm actuallying” so please can some one here give me key takeaways from yesterdays speech?

He was a self-professed maoist the last time I saw him. One of the many reasons why they're former circles.
