-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ .

I don't think Trump's ego can let him back down on this.
What’s the over/under till he gets JFK’d? 3 months?
IDK, he's got the devil's luck. There's already been two failed attempts (that we know about)
The one we didn't hear about was a successful attempt, and he has since been replaced by his Disney Hall of Presidents animatronic. Thus far, no one has been able to tell the difference.
Wait but...
That animatronic is actually a hastily rebuilt Hillary Clinton animatronic.
If Trump's been replaced by that animatronic, then that means IT'S HER TURN!
Three if you count the British guy in Las Vegas the first time around grabbing a cop's gun
This is what I keep wondering. A lot of extremely powerful people are losing a lot of money right now. They have the ability to get rid of him by throwing massive amounts of money at people behind the scenes. Time will tell. I think the powers that be are still very much in a weather the storm wait and see stance, and I can't honestly guess how long they feel like they'll be able to. Once they feel like they're almost at the end of what they can sustain then we'll see a violent change.
I think there is a lot they can do before resorting to that. They haven’t even turned the propaganda machine against Trump yet. They could pay off congress to impeach him.
It's my turn
But actually I feel like this is why SV elite wanted JD Vance as vp. For a backup in case Trump doesn't work out
I figured Trump's mostly doing this to bring those powerful "domestic" actors to the table, right? He's consolidating power for something worse, probably.
Me neither, also after JD Vance publicly called Chinese people peasants, I don't think the CPC will back down at all and they can easily get the public on their side by just playing that clip on national TV. Meanwhile tariffs being unpopular in the US will only make Trump double down.
I think this is only going to stop escalating when the American bourgeoisie forcibly stop Trump from escalating.
from my admittedly limited conversations with irl Chinese people I think they have been ready to rumble for a few years now, I think America is severely underestimating their will and drive to avenge past humiliations. I keep thinking about this event that happened a couple years ago:
Libs will say Xi is just brainwashing the children or whatever but we know better. They know their own history, and these really want this next fight to show the world just how far they've come.
hmmm
I saw a shirt with a peace hand signal in a shenzhen shopping mall with the text "double peace love fingertip" this stuff doesn't necessarily translate 1:1
Thinking about the opening to the blowback ep in the Korea season where the Americans are just crushing turkey dinner at Thanksgiving and the hardened PLA fighters are hiding in the hills with a small bag of oats and sneakers on in subzero weather.
That revolutionary spirit is still very much alive. We would get our asses handed to us just by virtue of the fact that they own the means of production even if we were equally treat brained. But Trump is also dramatically underestimating the human will to sacrifice for a noble cause, which this very much is. They dont only have the means they also have solidarity, and a state that would be willing and incentivized to act with tools like price controls or direct subsidies. US doesn't stand a chance.
It can. Look at what he crumpled into when the took his Twitter away.
That's because without twitter, he wasnt able to scream at people as easily.
