Shortly after Trump’s announcement, the British government said the United States remains the U.K.’s “closest ally.”

I’m sorry TERF island, that’s not gonna keep Trump from stabbing you in the back too.

and the price of bitcoin dropped 4.4%.

I cannot express how much I hate that this appears in a serious economic article.

The big booty Ghibli styled gnome or not making it’s butt even bigger?

So… I’m guessing the plebs get the cryptocurrencies. Which are backed by stablecoins… which are backed by tech grifters saying “I can cover it bro, trust me”.

Meanwhile the elites will take all that worthless gold and dispose of it for us.

Kinda a weasel possum.

I assume that an adult finally sat him down and explained how bad the situation is in simple kid friendly terms.

Agreed! Ukraine should keep all that Russian land they conquered.

He’s like the worlds weakest bully. “How dare you say that to me!? Somebody punch this guy for me.”

I always find the conservative “How dare you tell people what I said” outrage amusing.

I tried making hamburgers with ground goat, just for the hell of it. They were surprisingly good, the meat was too lean for a good hamburger though.

So is this one backed by Russia as well?

Imma going to guess that’s a bad move for the incoming trump officials job security. Preparing is a flaw since it admits fault.

I find it interesting how… transactional modern christianity is. You can’t just help anyone for free, it’s gotta be a in to the unfaithful for your particular sect, or a way to earn cash for your church, or a way to earn brownie points for god. The end result is less being a Good Samaritan… or even the shepherding the flock. What emerges is more like a multi level marketing scheme where the faithful are desperately trying to recruit others to get some of their salvation passed up the chain to them.

The best take I’ve seen on this:

I mean it’s possible.

Both Trump and Musk are the kind of rich assholes who are your “best friend” until they notice that a knife would fit very conveniently in your back. A pants shitting grifter and dot com bubble roulette winner, I can’t picture this odd couple having any love lost between them.

Man what a responsible individual. E-bike rentals, mass transit, killing parasitic CEO’s, this guy seems to be fairly eco-friendly.

The fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has drawn attention due to the phrase “deny, defend, depose” reportedly written on the shooter’s ammunition, echoing criticism of insurer practices like “delay, deny, defend.”

I’m guessing he didn’t consider the LIFO nature of a clip when loading, and “depose” is his answer to “delay, deny, defend”. So he put depose, defend, and deny into the CEO in that order

Addressed to an unnamed applicant—following “a careful review of the claim submitted for emergency services on December 4, 2024″—it informs them they are being rejected for coverage because “you failed to obtain prior authorization before seeking care for the gunshot wound to your chest.” “If you would like to appeal the fatal gunshot, please call 1-800-555-1234 with case # 123456789P to initiate a peer to peer within 48 hours of the fatal gun shot,” wrote one user.

Does this sound LLM generated to anyone else? I mean I’ve seen other LLM generated articles summarizing top Reddit posts, and this reads a lot like that.

It’s nice that whomever did this didn’t take their grudge out on a bunch of powerless workers. So often you see someone with a grudge against… whatever end up shooting a bunch of minimum wage employees who had no hand in their misfortune.

Well, I mean Trump is a former reality TV star so birds of a feather and all.
