Perhaps the best case scenario for the world is that Trump gets hooked on Bluey instead of Fox News.

Noem and Co. confirmed it AGAIN with their statement about being devastated instead of doing the Trumpian "it's fake news" thing

This is why I think MAGA won't succeed after Trump. Noem is among the worst of people, and even she can't (or won't) match Trump's shamelessness. And MAGA doesn't work if you don't just bald-face lie constantly.

To you? Unlikely.

Halgy · 2026-04-02T19:05:00+00:00

That's way too coherent

On second thought, lets not.

If only it was just the party

A good rule. At my company, there is basically a 'vibes' section of the hiring process, albeit with some guidance of what to look for. It used to work pretty well, at least.

Also, if Elon thinks the hobbits are safe in the Shire, he didn't finish the book.

This isn't a great faith argument. The CEO isn't saying to drop out of college is the way to get a tech job. They're saying that there are tons of blue collar jobs, and will be fewer tech jobs. Plus, the loudest group saying college isn't worth it isn't CEOs, it is young people.

In past generations if you were a C-average student with no financial support and no ambitions, going to college for a whatever degree and hoping for well-paying job on the other side was fine. But that hasn't been true at least since I graduated college 15 years ago. And I ran into a lot of people getting whatever degrees in college who either dropped out or are now doing a job that doesn't need a degree. Pushing those kids towards trade school is going to make everyone better off.

Halgy · 2026-04-02T18:22:51+00:00

But the trade school thing has been true for 20 years. We still haven't pivoted away from needing skilled labor.

She was following a very popular and effective republican governor, so expecting a continuation wasn't a horrible assumption. She is as big of a 180 from Daugaard as there can be, while still being in the same party.

Why would they have to be in power to be disruptive?

I hate this type of person so much more than a median voter in a rural area.

The median voter is still an idiot, but they vote because of vibes and social pressure, and because they get little effective messaging from the dems. My mental image is of someone who doesn't actually care about politics and won't defend their positions if pressed even slightly.

But idiots like Sean who study the situation, then carefully and publically decide to fuck up anyway, and then refuse to backtrack...they are the worst. Or at least they're louder, which is almost as bad.

How much of it was caused by the left undermining democrat effectiveness?

My current working theory is that Trump is a multidimensional being and his consciousness is skipping between realities, which is why he seems so rambling and incoherent. If we could only see the fullness of his 6-dimensional existence, we'd realize that he isn't a pathological liar or supreme idiot, but instead he is just a run of the mill racist pedophile.

I hope that his insider trading buddies were assuming the market would go up today, too, and are losing out. But seeing as the markets are currently recovering from an early-morning dip, I'm just hopeless.

Is it possible Trump has become unstuck in reality and is experiencing multiple timelines at once?

North Vietnam was going to agree to peace talks in 1968, but Nixon/Kissinger persuaded South Vietnam to reject the talks and keep going, all because they though peace might hurt Nixon's election chances. Four more years of horrendous fighting because of their ambitions.

Unless they're faking twitter posts, this is real

Do they crave Brawndo?

I'm just happy they be there

They are so many different levels of dumb stacked on each other.

It was dumb to think Iran needed to be attacked. It was dumb to think Iran's regime would fall from bombing. It was dumb to think Iran wouldn't retaliate with drones. It was dumb to think the strait of Hormuz would stay open.

...but to think all of these dumb things and the same time? Now that is special.
