My dad is absolutely losing his shit over DOGE, freaking out about what this will mean for his future retirement and whatnot. I tried to reassure him earlier today but he basically said I'm too young to understand how these things work, and that I'm stupid for believing what I read on the internet. Even when I tried to show him actual direct sources that contradict what he's read or heard, he wouldn't believe me.

I'm worried my dad is going to have an actual heart attack from stress due to all the BS fear mongering from the mainstream media. I don't know what I can show him to help ease his fear and anxiety.

Might be too late for him. Can't save someone from drowning if they don't stop thrashing.
 
Lots of heavy and rare earth metals, it would also spook Russia which boomers are absolutely obsessed with doing.

One thing I'd be curious to learn is what the "Trump is a Russian asset!" boomer crowd thinks of Trump trying to acquire Greenland. Wouldn't someone who wanted to advance Russian interests advocate for America pulling out of the region, and handing Greenland and Canada over to Russian influence?

(I'm kidding of course, I know none of those people have actually given it two seconds of thought, and most probably cannot even locate Greenland on a map. Even on one of those Mercator maps where it's like the biggest country)
 
What a noble start, just for fun, lets check in on whats going on in New Jersey by 1807
by free estate does that mean not a felon or debt free? i assume it just means not a felon.
trump is just feeding the base. its like that one guy said, its performative. he'd be a fool when he has so many younger people around him not to just hand Vance the wheels. as fucked as this country is. a nigger name barack could still win, especially when you factor in he'll have some younger VP

Like of the dozen people to try for a 3rd term, there's a reason it took a literal world war and a dead rival party for FDR to win his 3rd term.

Maybe, but I don't want to give up... he's my dad. And I have always considered him to be one of the smartest people I know, especially when it comes to money (His job is finance). It sucks to see this fear and anxiety in him. There must be something that can convince him it will be okay.
 
Wild if true. The man, the myth, the legend.
Weekly World News blew the lid off this years ago, and they had an extra zinger

I'll always love how they found a nigh-complete print of Metropolis in South America and went through such great pains to never, EVER ask who might have had it shipped there

My dad sees his kids becoming proto-nazis and realizes it's because his generation failed to go far enough. He is ashamed of his cowardice.

Honestly you can’t fax and lawgic away how people feel. His attacks towards you suggest he doesn’t want to listen, so you’re better off redirecting him and encouraging him to do things that won’t impact his health. Anyone and his mother can look up generic muh mentals bullshit, but the idea is to get him to touch grass and get away from the TV/tablet/computer.
 
Someone just exchanged ~$14 Billion in fiat (USD) for 4.5 million oz gold (real money) for immediate delivery

bankers fleeing the country? Or the government trying to make Fort Knox look good?
Is this really that big of a problem? Who does this actually harm besides rich celebrities?

If Trump made this order for Pokemon cards/video games, we would get to see all the lefties suddenly support scalpers and it would be hilarious because they’ve been bitching about it nonstop for years
This is something lefties have talked about. Especially all those White girls trying to see Taylor Swift. I'm all for Trump trying to build bridges with the "other side". It cuts out a very annoying middleman, that adds nothing productive to the economy. I doubt it took long to write, and it took 5 seconds to sign.

I feel the same way about my mom. If it isn't MSNBC it isn't real. I usually just tell her that no matter what I'll be there for her.

This is what bothers me about the snow niggers complaining. They have to option to get American gibs and still bitch about Trump vs being forced to work in a mining camp where they get paid a few dollars a day and left to die in the cold if they complain about conditions with China or Russia. Greenland is at a fork in the road and the march of time and lack of military means they cannot defend themselves against this possibility. America has its flaws yes, but its significantly better than Russia or China taking over and enslaving your population for labor.

Greenland isn't a military power either, it's not really in a position to say who can and cannot annex them.

The smaller/weaker countries have had it good for too long, and they have come to think of their position in the world as the natural order of things. American military protection is taken for granted, it's as natural as the seasons or the rising and setting of the sun.

Everyone personally familiar with the old way of doing things has died off and the new generations have been raised being taught that the bad guys of the world aren't that bad and just need a hug (except for white men, who are inherently evil somehow).

Countries like Greenland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand need to start strengthening ties to the US like crazy because even if American isolationism doesn't take hold now, it's going to happen sooner or later. But their populations probably don't want to face reality.
 
To boomers though the tarrifs are basically annuda shoa, literally 6 million lines go down.
I had this old boomer lady rant to me about how trump has crashed her IRA with the tariffs. I just look at her like oh no, your generation fucked everything up for us so the amount of shits I give are non-existent.
he basically said I'm too young to understand how these things work, and that I'm stupid for believing what I read on the internet.
And this right here is another reason why I hate boomers. The superiority complex.
