Entirely predictable.
Every single time that a Republican administration purports to be cracking down on “wasteful spending,” you can be sure of two things: that their definition of “wasteful spending” is “any spending that benefits anyone other than ourselves and our cronies and patrons,” and that all they’re really going to do is shift it so that it exclusively does benefit themselves and their cronies and patrons.
It’s starting to feel a bit Pol Pot in here…
Cue Israel bombing the airport.
I would assume their totals aren’t going to change much but thry’ll lose some number of users from the UK and gain a more or less equal number of users from a seemingly random snd ever-changing assortment of other countries.
As far as genre statistics and the like go, I wouldn’t expect them to change other than as they generally do, just as tastes and trends change.
America - the land of “people should be punished for voting the ‘wrong’ way.”
It’s amazing that all it took was a few months of Trump in office for Republicans to stop even bothering to pretend to be anything other than overtly and explicitly anti-American - to out themselves as deliberate and even enthusiastic enemies of every single thing that ever made America great…
They can’t win unless they cheat.
The Art of the Thing That Sort of Vaguely Looks Like a Deal Unless You Look Closer.
That’s actually sort of sad and disturbing.
I thought Scott Adams was just an asshole. I didn’t realize he was insane.
And once again, all we can do is wait and see if any of the thousands of people with the authority to fight this will lift a finger to do so.
And my prediction is no - they won’t. Between the cowards and the co-conspirators, there’s nobody left who will even try to stop the overthrow of the US givernment and the establishment of a plutocratic autocracy in its place.
I did think her use of a first person pronoun there was a bit odd, but I didn’t put that together. You might be onto something.
“All these porn sick brain rotted pedo gamer fetishists so desperate to get their hands on rape-my-little-sister incest games they’re now exchanging clues on how to find them so that they don’t all die overnight,” Collective Shout co-founder Melinda Tankard Reist tweeted on July 18th.
She sounds deranged.
i wonder what her own perversion is. It’s likely quite disturbing - nobody has that much anger and scorn over other people’s sex lives and a healthy sex life of their own.
How did you manage to miss the other six letters?
So literally what happened here is Trump said, “I want to violate the Constitution” and the Supreme Court said, " Okay — go ahead."
And that’s it for the rule of law in the US.
All that’s left now is to tally the mass murders along the way to the inevitable collapse of the US, and to hope that our descendents can build something better out of the rubble.
As well they should be.
Trump has already made it clear that his opinion of the accuracy of economic statistics depends solely on whether they reflect well or poorly on him.
So it’s pretty well guaranteed that the primary requirement of any future statistics will be that they reflect well on him, and accuracy and veracity will be somewhere further down the list.
