Optimistic Doomer

Socialism frightens Americans. Yet most Americans will be much better off with more of the right kind of socialism. Watch New York. www.reuters.com/world/us/fea...

Every day is 9/11 in Ukraine, Gaza, Lebanon, the West Bank, ...

How long before he renames the USA? Trumpland? Trump Empire? Maybe that's what all the renaming is about, getting folks used to the idea, in preparation for the big reveal.

Driscoll resigned because Trump ignored his repeated warnings about Hegseth. His resignation is as much a protest over Trump's mismanagement as over Hegseth's.

How long before Trump changes the name of the Republic? (if you can keep it).

What was the DoD is becoming Trump's Private Army. Venezuelan Oil is Trump new way to fund it, without having to go to Congress and the taxpayers. That's what the Pentagon's 35% stake is about. Meanwhile Hegseth is ready to step in at the appropriate time and make it Pete's Private Army.

Astonishing. Kushner says 'win-win', implying both sides win. What he means is exactly the opposite. Either way, Israelis win, Palestinians lose. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqAc...

The US is drawing 2x more sweet crude than sour, about 4 M barrels last week.. They can keep this up for about 20 weeks, until about mid December. (105 M barrels in stock, bottom is ~27 M barrels)

Season finale: With just minutes left in his term, Trump pardons all his allies, then resigns, having agreed with Vance that Vance as President will pardon him. But Vance reneges, has Trump arrested, ends all the wars, etc.

The "Health Insurance" debate is a head-fake. People don't need health insurance, they need Health CARE.

Theory and practice both point at the same limiting condition: * Eventually one single person owns everything * We can't afford to get any closer to that point than we are now. There is an unstable feedback force driving well wealth upwards. Wealth tax fixes that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwr-...

Good boy, supporting the expansion of Israel. Here's a little treat for you.

Having a Trump fuel network is about Trump being able to control who gets fuel. It's harder to vote if you can't get fuel. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

This. Whatever violates is violent.

Please can we start talking about Trump sympathisers in the same way that we talk about terrorist sympathisers?

This from Claude: "I'm not certain whether Anthropic has shipped a hosted web_fetch equivalent. ... Worth a quick check of the Anthropic docs before we start — do you want me to look it up, or do you already know? (spoiler: it's right there in the docs)

He loves to watch people getting beaten up. Loves to be seen mingling with strong, manly, violent people.

50 top psychiatrists sound the alarm. www.youtube.com/watch?v=arZb...

We are in the singularity. It is no longer possible to distinguish between good and evil, true and false, real and imaginary.

Trump just posted this as the "OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF IRAN". - It does not look authentic. - English only text with no branding is not how issue formal statement. - The date format and typography are wrong. - They would not use 'POTUS' or 'my dear brothers' in a formal document.

Every elected representative needs to answer this now: If Trump initiates or threatens a nuclear first strike, will you move immediately to impeach him? And Senators—will you vote to remove him? This isn't hypothetical. The question demands a clear, public answer from everyone in Congress.

"We are lunatics" Translated from the original Projection. Where 'we' means 'them' and 'they' means 'us'.

Claude/Anthropic's usage policy prohibits Trump/MAGA from using their AI: www.anthropic.com/legal/aup

"The motion ... is unusually written ... and often resembles Trump's Truth Social posts" At this point most likely Claude or Grok are writing everything.

The real story: Imitating his master, a FEMA official captured the news by making an outlandish claim. The deeper story: The contagion is spreading. More and more people are learning from and imitating their master. As psychiatrists warned, the mental health disease is contagious.

How Trump will handle a missing crewman: He'll wait for just the right distraction moment. Then he'll call the lost crewman a loser. That will keep the media busy while he escalates the destruction.

If it were up to Trump, the entire crew would have been left behind. Heck, some senior officers might have been fired for insisting they go back and get a fallen soldier. Trump doesn't care about people. He doesn't even realise people have feelings, because he doesn't have any.

How long before a rest-of-the-world coalition places sanctions on the US and demands regime change?

Is NYT really pretending they only just now noticed Trump's make-it-up-as-you-go style?

Dear AI, what are some of the risks users of the new White House app should be aware of?

Trumps standard business model has him syphoning off the profits and then declaring bankruptcy. What does it look like when Trump declares bankruptcy on the USA?

Classic projection of "The Trump regime is now admitting to itself that we have been decisively defeated. We're saying to people, 'This is a disaster.' We know it. That's why we're talking to them. We wouldn't talk otherwise. We can't make a comeback. We now have a chance to make a deal." (he hopes)

... so when I take Iran's oil, I won't have to share any of it with NATO.

Trump hires dimwits so he always has someone else to blame when everything turns to custard. Hegseth is the next most obvious victim.

Every claim is a confession. Whatever he says, swap every occurrence of 'they/them' for 'we/us', and you have the truth.

Rest-of-the world imposes economic sanctions, demanding regime change in the US 🤣 Don't you wish?

Netanyahu and Trump can turn the taps back on any time they want. "We're sorry. We'll fix it, and we won't do it again."

Read the DOGE transcripts. Elon's big deficit reduction idea was to ask ChatGPT which grants to cut. I guess Grok was still too woke. www.acls.org/acls-aha-mla...

Elon's big deficit reduction innovation was to ask ChatGPT which grants to cut.

Another example of AI bias: Referring to a statistic that reflects badly on Israel, Claude says: "This figure is cited without contradiction from the host". In fact the statistic is verified. Claude's unnecessary comment only serves to subtly frame accurate information as if it might be false.

"And then we just . . . put them in power again." When you own the media, they let you do it. You can do anything.

A supernova can be imminent for thousands of years.

Nature abhors extremes. A vaccuum is one well-known example. Extreme wealth and poverty are two other examples.
