I think if our president were any dumber, they couldn't get elected. He's damn near drooling on himself. There has to be something left to sway that many people. And even most idiots wouldn't appoint this many fellow idiots.
It seems really, really hard to have an administration this dumb. I think this is the dumbest possible point.
Now, things can get worse. See Stalin. See this surveillance tech. But I don't think the admin itself can get any dumber than this.
Hawaii has always been a very pivotal role in the Pacific. It is in the Pacific. It is a part of the United States that is an island that is right here.
I feel like Herchel Walker got too many votes though. He was a CTE riddled bigot, proud of stolen valor, who pressured multiple women into abortions, and he could barely speak.
Oh it can definitely get a lot dumber. The dumbness is for all the culture war and posturing they are doing for their moronic voters. There is literally no rock bottom for how dumb they can behave towards them in order to gain their support. Because however stupid this administration is, their voters are even more stupid. So they have lots of way to go where they or the next administration can turn up the dumb dial.
Where the administration is smart is in all the corruption, grifting and pocketing of public money. Which is its only true goal.
You don't have to fear a dumber president. Fear a smarter one. One that's as fascist as Dumpy. But one who actually knows how things work in Washington and can remember things for more than 5 minutes. They'll actually achieve what Dumbdumb has failed at.
So in your world view all the billionaires working people to death and destroying the environment; all the dictators sending their soldiers to die for their ego; and killing their people to silence dissent. All those people are dumber than like charity workers or something?
Hey now, Stalin did a lot of bad shit (ethnic cleansing, homosexuality bans, executions with no due process, destruction of regional democracy) but he also did a bunch of good shit (rapid industrialization, improving economic equality, improving education, leading the nation to beat the nazis)
trump is only doing the bad shit. Can things get worse? Sure. But y'all are way below Stalin levels already.
Well those kinds of figures were calculated after the fact (and may or may not include WW2 casualties, of which the USSR had more than every other allied nation combined I believe), so I dunno if I'd be so confident.
Trump was already arguably responsible for tons of COVID deaths. And then USAID related deaths. And there will be more related to antivax policy. And there will be more once the concentration camps close and we are able to assess the real damage. Etc etc.
20 million is a vast overestimation for how many deaths he was responsible for.
The actual number of executions and other deaths resulting from the purge is about 700000, many of those were probably actual criminals. The number of deaths under GULAG during his leadership is uncertain, but definitely under a million, many also actual criminals. About 4-6 million died due to a mismanaged famine triggered in some part by his idiotic agricultural policies, but this is on the edge of "responsible for". That's about it when it comes to peacetime deaths he was involved in.
Was it bad? Sure, it was fucked up, he's the second worst leader of USSR after Gorbachev. But he's not as bad as many western propaganda sources will have you believe, and I'd argue trump is worse overall.
We're currently comparing two world leaders, one who oversaw a rapid industrialization of a country and lead it to victory against nazis and did a bunch of awful shit leading to millions of deaths, and another one who did like 1 maybe good thing and will also lead to millions of deaths. Both are bad, one is worse.
What is the metric you're using to claim that trump is better than Stalin? If it's "human suffering caused" as approximated by total excess deaths caused by the government's policies during time in office, trump will probably be worse just on account of being the leader of a US empire enforcing worldwide capitalist extraction for 6 years now.
this is pretty close to the 1984 doublethink stuff
"War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength."
They're expected to believe conflicting ideas and internalize that the State is right even when you're provided with two conflicting facts.
We are the greatest nation ever, and everyone wants to be us! ... But also the damn Democrats destroyed America, and that's why no one can afford groceries! Gas prices are lower than ever before! But they're not because Biden!
They're malicious towards more than half the country, democrats, skin color, gays, sure.
But so much of their damage is unintentional and comes from straight up incompetence or stupidity or naivety. This trade war with Canada, uh... how do I say. It's not intentionally to get Canada. It's not exactly directly malicious (in the US). I think it largely comes from a splash of each of the above three, with an indeterminate part of it being advise of Russian counsel. Of course that part is malicious, but the maliciousness is external using the naivety and stupidity of this Administration.
I think it helps to understand it. I don't know why I think that.
Also this may be a distinction without a difference.
I mean, technically, the shorthand "AI" doesn't have "intelligence" in it, as it only has the "A" which can be discarded for the purpose of this statement, and the "I" which is missing several necessary characters.
No joke.. I can feel that side of myself and pity anyone it's unleashed on. My buddies and I have gotten a bit rowdy from time to time.. I'm legit frightened about what would be unleashed if the land I love was truly threatened. I'm telling you.. somewhere deep in every Canadian is an absolute psycho.
Yeah I like our win loss ratio as well but to be fair we tied in Korea (yay forever war) and lost in Afghanistan. But on the other end both where american clusterfucks.
I think that was a revenge fantasy for Babylonians. So it didn't happen, not even according to the biblical narrative, which doesn't really make it better.
About Amalek, the Bible says among other things: "You shall blot out the name of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget!"
Adding to the obvious irony, there is no mention of them outside the Bible. So assuming they were a historical people, the only book that preserve their name is the one that tells us to wipe it from memory.
It's just that American Christian Republicans only know their bible 6th hand thru memes. Like this dumbass who is talking to who he thinks are people that know it 12th hand because his ego is over-inflatedx
Fun fact: almost everybody are dead wrong about David vs Goliath.
David was a seasoned soldier armed with the bronze age equivalent of a 9mm pistol, while Goliath was a huge dude with a club.
The only way Goliath could have had any chance would be if David started the fight in the Goldilocks zone of "within melee range but not so close that the relative size of Goliath and his weapon becomes a disadvantage"
To the extent he is an historical figure, it wasn’t even David who killed him, as I understand it. Rather it was an appropriation of a the valor of one of David’s own soldiers by David’s biographer/Propagandist/Deuteronomist since seemingly their own sources say that Elhanan killed him:
IN ANOTHER BATTLE WITH THE PHILISTINES AT GOB, ELHANAN SON OF JAIR THE BETHLEHEMITE KILLED GOLIATH THE GITTITE, WHO HAD A SPEAR WITH A SHAFT LIKE A WEAVER’S ROD
2 Samuel 21:19
It seems unlikely that any scribe in a Davidic regime would get away with the reverse; attributing one of King David’s most heralded victories to a lowly son of Jair.
I always imagine goliath just being a huge dude. But not like hafthor, but more like a disabled guy that has gigantism and everything hurts. But hey, tall guy
Was he even? He was just a big dude who was part of an army that was opposing the (genocidal af) Israelites.
I guess maybe in that, according to the story, he was cocky and challenged them to bring him their best fighters for single combat or whatever, but I dunno. I'd say rampant genocidal army, and a future king who would obsess over foreskins and send his mistress' husband to the front line to die, might be the bad guys there.
Probably worse than just thinking you're a better fighter than you actually are.
No like, actually to any American who feels that way, shut up, quit voting, and let those of us with brains and hearts run the country. Canada has done nothing to hurt or offend us unril we started it. They were in fact the best neighbor and ally a country could ask for. Far better neighbors than we were and especially than dipshits like this are
That's how god damn fucking stupid these mother fuckers are. They don't understand a single fucking thing beyond the most absolute surface level of everything they fucking see and hear. They repeat shit they heard from people they think are smarter than them and they think they're being clever for it.
Fuck dude pisses me right the fuck off, im so fucking over this epidemic of idiocracy. Felt good to vent on a Friday morning tho. Didnt want to hold onto it all day.
It's even funnier that scripture wise Goliath was like 6'6" to 6'9" most professional basketball players are as tall as or taller than he was said to have been. I'm taller than Goliath for what that is worth.
So Canada entire economy is built around the US dollar, US stock market, US factories, US Banks, US domestic and foreign policy.
Now if they are truthful about the dangerous of the US , I assume they need to 1) Tear down any military agreement, 2) Stop funding their military and manufacture their bombs, 3) decoupling economy, 4) Ensure media sovereigty, and basically treat them how UK treat Russia.
Personally I don't see that happening because the capitalist system of Canada will collapse, people will protest and put some capitalist clown on top.
What I think is happening is Canada leveraging the upcoming election to get the best deal. If democratic fail for any reason, we will most likely see Canada backing off hoping new president will be better.
Does a whole economic bloc to the east that Canada can replace the US with. Yes it's further away and that will make the trading routes take longer but that actually doesn't matter because once it's set up supply and logistics takes over and long trade routes don't really matter then.

Now if they are truthful about the dangerous of the US , I assume they need to 1) Tear down any military agreement, 2) Stop funding their military and manufacture their bombs, 3) decoupling economy, 4) Ensure media sovereigty, and basically treat them how UK treat Russia.
Personally I don't see that happening because the capitalist system of Canada will collapse, people will protest and put some capitalist clown on top.
What I think is happening is Canada leveraging the upcoming election to get the best deal. If democratic fail for any reason, we will most likely see Canada backing off hoping new president will be better.

Does a whole economic bloc to the east that Canada can replace the US with. Yes it's further away and that will make the trading routes take longer but that actually doesn't matter because once it's set up supply and logistics takes over and long trade routes don't really matter then.
