what does trump want?

the murdoch purchase of the sun

Before he bought it it was on 24 hours and we had so much food.

- Investor Peter Schiff, who endorsed Trump now calls for investigation into Trump for alleged “pump-and-dump scheme.”

- The DOW, NASDAQ and S&P fall huge.

I was talking to a few people about this the other night. I thought it was quite damning of liberals, people on the left, anyone else opposed to Trump, Musk, etc. that so many of them have such a negative view of the site yet seem unable, or unwilling, to leave, either because it's too inconvenient or because Bluesky and Mastodon are too embarrassing. These social media companies are so embedded in people's lives they just can't bear to part with them, even when they're convinced they're being run by Nazis.

Bluesky is hilarious.

The thing is there are thousands of apolitical bodies that release their news on Twitter, including every English football club, and they're not going to bother duplicating things across many sites.

The only thing I hate about twitter is the incredibly repetitive adverts infesting every single thread

the first month has been a blitzkrieg. its really worked. everyone is reeling. does that still count as affect? it's a media experience at least. beyond the actions and policies there's the tone. which is very much: we are ruthless, rude and obnoxious, and we are going to use force. it provokes fear i think, when you see it. it's unsettling.

It's especially stressful for leftists as they have a prey mentality, the kind which still thinks racist attitudes from 150 years ago (which, by the way, were universal) still prevail today, and override any other considerations when it comes to American identity. You guys will be nervous wrecks by the end of this term, mostly scaring yourselves with demons of your own devising.

Interesting how many Trump supporters I'm seeing saying stuff like this



In other words pretending to celebrate the worsening standard of living that Trump is bringing in as it will usher in 'minimal living'.

Yesterday they said Trump was going to improve standards of living...

There may be a little early pain for a long lasting gain.

Yeah except what makes you think there will be long lasting gain?

You can pay to make them go away.

It seems you want instant gratification; thats not how it works

 

[IdleRich]

You can pay to make them go away.

If only you were an advert

 

[mixed_biscuits]

If only you were an advert

You wouldn't be able to afford it

 

[IdleRich]

You wouldn't be able to afford it

I understood you to be unemployed, unemployable, desperate and willing to suck off a dog for a fiver... I think I can afford it

 

[IdleRich]

We think long term

So many tacit admissions that the now ain't so good

 

[IdleRich]

That all sounds amazing!!! The stock market has been artificially inflated for a couple of years. A measly 1.94% correction was needed, but it should have been bigger.

Alzheimer’s is easy- stop prescribing cholesterol meds to everyone

 

[IdleRich]

Dow fell 650 points today, hope that don't happen tomorrow

 

[IdleRich]

It’s way overdue for a correction

So much of this bad is good stuff... war is peace etc

 

[IdleRich]

The stock market has been a rigged & manipulated house of cards for years

 

[IdleRich]

Looks like a buying opportunity

Trump got what he wanted

 

[IdleRich]

tariffs will temporarily lead to increased prices, but will generate wealth and independence in conjunction with regulation cuts over the next couple years.

Oh I'm sure they will... bad news for all the Trump voters getting the biscuits treatment and waiting for that to happen though.
