Nah, what he promised him is exactly what we see: $500B in rare earths, every year. Trump's always been a terrible dealer, and this is no exception: he doesn't do back-and-forth, he just tosses his entire hand on the table and says "here's what I want", then bullies you into accepting. If you don't, he'll either harass you, or back out saying YOU sabotaged the deal because you didn't give him what he wanted immediately.

Preferably, they won't. At all. "Non-male person" at best.

I love how none of them ever had grandparents that got "divorced" before no-fault. You know what you did a lot of the time before no-fault if you wanted out? Killed your husband. Wives, when they were forced with a situation where they couldn't simply leave the state/country, would just poison their spouse. In the early 1900s, when your wife was often the one who was at home all the time, preparing all your meals, it was INCREDIBLY easy to do in a way that looked like "oh well he just kept getting sicker and sicker".

The POINT is to break the government. It's a lot easier to convince people to privatize things that way.

Agreed. Get one that bolts to the floor if you're in a place where you can bolt things to the floor. Don't settle for a Pelican case or a lockbox, those don't deter theft, it just makes it so you're out a gun and a lockbox.

Not just techno fascists. There's a lot of these people who watched way too much Mad Max and think that when society collapses, they'll get to be Immortan Joe. They fantasize about being warlords with their own little fiefdom.

Technically, ending the world DOES end world hunger.

They'll just bribe the jurors. The DOJ won't care, because where are you gonna appeal? The SC that only gives a shit about lining their own pockets?

More like "sell national parks to resource extraction companies who've been chomping at the bit for decades".

I'm reminded of that one time the entire Polish government was killed in a plane crash in Smolensk.

Arguably occupying a BIGGER position of power than the fucking president. Musk has been on a tear ripping up agencies left, right, and center, and Trump doesn't seem to get how anemic he looks when he claims "oh well Musk doesn't actually have any authority to do anything" AFTER ALL THAT.

$20 says they're going to try to make it so hospitals can refuse care.
