      The “do nothing. win.” meme is consistently proven to be true every time Trump does basically anything. The irony of the MAGA movement completely eroding US soft power is not lost on me.

    It’s genuinely hilarious how much of a caricature of themselves they have become. Well it would be without all the innocents being massacred anyway.

    I have had this gut feeling based on nothing but uninformed instinct that America must be on the verge of a huge economic collapse. Look at who is in charge of their vast hordes of wealth and think how he’s bankrupted countless businesses and casinos. Until now they could back it up with petrodollar and force but Iran have collapsed their impenetrable persona.

    Seeing shit like this really drives home that the lunatics are running the asylum. Surely eventually it’s all gone too mental to still function in any way.

      I mean the fact that they started cooking numbers under Biden clearly indicates that there have been deep problems brewing in the economy for a while now. Every single indicator outside the tech sector is that the economy is shrinking. Companies aren’t hiring, industrial growth is slowing down, and now there’s going to be a huge shock from gas prices going through the roof. Even the whole AI economy is gonna suffer cause data centers take energy to run, and energy prices are going to the moon. The war being the catalyst for the crash is a very likely scenario in my opinion.

    Apparently he didn’t rig them, they were against opponents/set up in a way to ensure he’d always have a huge advantage, which is arguably worse and somewhat similar to how the US does things.

    I remember stuff from a while back about how fucked up the Paul brothers were. Fucked up dad, fucked up sons, doing fucked up things. Can’t remember the details very well offhand, but the one that sticks out in my head was one of them (might have been Jake Paul, not entirely sure) doing this thing of:

    waking someone while covering them in a blanket so they struggle to breath and panic or something along those lines.

    Like just straight up sociopath shit. It’s hard to explain how one even comes across shit like this… I mean, it’s not like it was national headlines or something. I remember it being “youtube drama”, with somebody who had been a former girlfriend coming out and talking about abusive stuff. Back when the Paul brothers were still just Youtube fame. Except “youtube drama” still has consequences for real people, in spite of being rather insulated as dissemination of information goes…

    So it isn’t really a surprise that the pedophile-in-chief would end up endorsing somebody like that.

    (I encourage people to look further into the history beyond what I’m saying. I’m speaking rather broadly from memory.)

      Logan Paul literally has holes in his brain due to his time in sports. I swear he admits to in a much older video. Could be the reason for the more… blatantly sociopathic activity.
