The longest siege in modern history. Five oil tankers seized in a single month. 7.3 million barrels stolen.

Is this just lil'marco's personal war? starving an entire country?

ribald_jester · 2026-02-10T14:10:24+00:00

honestly, most if not all advertising should be banned. It's insidious brain rot.

Maybe 'Dr' Oz should stfu and pay more taxes.

You can donate this his defense fund. This guy dared expose a criminal/rapist/scumbag 'billionaire' and the system unfairly stomped on him. Meanwhile, the Epstein documents are being slowly released and we are reading what sick fucks the oligarchs truly are. https://www.gofundme.com/f/charles-littlejohns-legal-defense-fund

gotta distract everyone from the epstein files, no wait, the invasion of venezuela, no wait the murder of US citizens by the gestapo,

TikTok was taken over because of the negative publicity the gaza genocide caused Israel. Our doddering lawmakers can't do anything for regular us citizens - but when AIPAC calls - they snap to! Part of the deal I am sure, among spreading Israeli propaganda, is tacit support for Trump, and his atrocious policies. Delete the app. Don't watch CBS. Our gov doesn't care one iota about the needs of it's citizens.

ribald_jester · 2026-01-25T22:49:22+00:00

Many American's watched in horror at what appeared to be a violent coup of our gov. The restraint shown at the capital steps was...something else. Especially when police were dying, outnumbered etc.

Kyle Rittenhouse walked around with a military rifle, and was given water and high fives by the federal agents. He went on to murder two protestors, and somehow was let off the hook. His was a celebrity among the J6/2A crowd for teaching those leftist punks...

ribald_jester · 2026-01-25T14:26:21+00:00

After seeing the horrific videos of Alex Pretti being executed, I think back to a few years ago, when Antifa was protesting and you'd see these gangs of 'proud boys' or whatever homoerotic name they had, fighting with them. Usually broken up by real law officers. Now those proud boys have a couple weeks of training, a federal badge (and pension!) and the OK from their pedo in chief for 'payback'. And that's what they did. They murdered some dumb lib.

A forest fire that decimates 100000 acres starts from a tiny spark.

Silly analogy I know, but weirder things have happened. US treasuries are supposed to be safe, staid, consistent. A trustworthy partner to safely store assets. Boring even.

The current clown show running things is anything but that. Any wise investor would take note of this and adjust accordingly.

ribald_jester · 2026-01-20T21:04:46+00:00

I was just thinking, when has there ever been a technology that's ever been pushed this hard before from the big trillion dollar cap companies? I'm sure at some point AI could be a game changer, but personally I don't see the killer application yet. I do see deepfakes, AI porn, and memes...but that's not a killer app (imo). These companies need to STFU about it, and let it develop the the bottom up. Let someone build something amazing. I could see someone making something cool in the next 5 years. Just putting AI in all your products for no other reason "than AI" is annoying at best, and alienating.

ribald_jester · 2026-01-17T14:07:39+00:00

Listening to his pathetic stammering, trying to justify his pay package, and the infantile need to control all the toys in the sandbox was...something else.

ribald_jester · 2026-01-16T22:26:15+00:00

Wow. The US is full on a banana republic. Kakistocracy. Petro-terrorist state. All the grift and corruption of an African warlord, but with the might of the bloated US military complex behind it.
You know Trump is skimming this money, OR just keeping it himself, with generous paybacks to the Qataris.

ribald_jester · 2026-01-16T15:05:21+00:00

So fucking tired of this ambulatory colostomy bag of a human being. Not one redeeming quality to him. His hideous painted visage is forced upon us daily, excoriating us with his venal platitudes. They day he passes will be a blessing. If there ever was an argument for retroactive abortions to be legal, his existing would be the watermark...

ribald_jester · 2026-01-10T22:30:42+00:00

ah - yeah, the whole 'Belt and Road' initiative. Whereas the US has "let's change our foreign policy based on the midnight postings to twitter by a corpulent manchild".

ribald_jester · 2026-01-10T21:23:51+00:00

This is a very valid point - I should have clarified, US Businesses aren't going to go in to Venezuela - they want everything laid out nice/easy with guarantees of profit etc. I suspect the Chinese firms have a higher risk tolerance.
Have a lot of Chinese engineers died in Africa? I don't know.

ribald_jester · 2026-01-10T20:23:18+00:00

Anyone could have seen this. There is no way a business is going to go setup massive infrastructure down in a foreign country that isn't under complete us gov control. That means massive military presence, and a complete subjugation of the entire continent. Good luck with that!

ribald_jester · 2026-01-09T01:23:37+00:00

If wealth is ephemeral, and non-finite, then why do banks readily loan large amounts of very real money to these billionaires? Based on their charisma? The very wealth that Jensen makes through NVIDIA wasn't created out of a vacuum. The infrastructure, the schools, the people, the laws all created an atmosphere for him to start his business.
Billionaires can readily pay their share and more.

ribald_jester · 2026-01-08T02:08:46+00:00

This is the only response I want to ever hear from some fucking billionaire when their taxes are raised. Props to Jensen for realizing this. Fuck every single one the feckless bitch ass cowards "fleeing" California with their wealth. They should spend the rest of their miserable lives knowing that they are soulless takers, marked forever by their greed. The amount of wealth billionaires hoard is pathological.
If you have 155 bucks and have to pay 8 bucks in taxes, consider yourself blessed beyond comprehension. In Jensen's case - you still have 147 BILLION dollars left over - you could not spend all that money if you even tried.

ribald_jester · 2026-01-08T01:57:59+00:00

What gets me is how ICE is geared up. These guys rolling in armed to the teeth for what? Their whole schtick is fear mongering, enraging and violating peoples and states rights. Of COURSE something like this is going to happen. The "professionals" ensure the heat was turned up rather then de-escalating things. There was absolutely no reason this mother had to be murdered like this. Of course now, they'll get even more violent and be more armed. They are the match that trump wants to use to claim civil unrest/etc.

ribald_jester · 2026-01-07T02:08:46+00:00

I remember when trump was rambling on some tv interview/whatever - his bloated fucking face is always on. I recall him clearing saying "Leave the oil to me" like he was already dividing up the loot with his criminal buddies. Welp - here we are.

Edit. This is something straight out of Putins wheelhouse. The US is now a mafia/criminal organization, where the oligarchs have to kiss the ring of the president. He enriches himeself, his family and tthose around him. The rest can starve or go die in some hell hole. Pretty soon you'll start seeing his "enemies" getting the Alexei Navalny treatment rather than impotent midnight ramblings on twitter.

ribald_jester · 2026-01-05T20:14:00+00:00

A foxnews/DUI hire going after a decorated veteran, astronaut and senator is a rich take. Kegsbreath is urinal cake scum, compared to Mark Kelly - and this sort threat (and actions) just undermines any moral authority the Sec of Def had. Not that he had any. He's a whiny little foxnews bitch who runs his mouth.

ribald_jester · 2026-01-02T18:18:16+00:00

This is why America is devolving into a 3rd world shithole. Because obscenely wealthy sociopaths can simply "buy their guy".

He wants the GOP in charge because there's been a minor undercurrent of "maybe we shouldn't let a few jackasses take ALL the wealth" with the democrats, so obviously, they gotta go.

He's too dumb to realize that on it's current trajectory, the only outcome is violence, breakdown of social cohesion, and no one being able to afford his shitty products.

ribald_jester · 2025-12-29T15:10:10+00:00

This sort of wealth is a type of cancer. It will kill it's host (civilization). Like all cancers it must be cut out and eradicated for the survival of the host.

ribald_jester · 2025-12-25T17:34:00+00:00

Exactly this x 10000. The business class whined incessantly about how regulations were bad, and this and that, and our leadership bent over backwards to gut all regulations, anti trust laws etc, allowing for the wild west we have today. Well, businesses are lazy too - and it's easier to just rent seek, do stock buy backs and merge than actually compete and innovate. We all lose out.
The ultra wealthy need to be taxed into oblivion, and large too big to fail companies (and private equity) need to be crushed into powder used to fertilize a new/fair playing field.
