ERROR: Capitalism has no idea how to deal with this situation.

Au contraire, it actually does! The same way the last four or five economic crises were handled - massive government bailouts for the affected sector.

It'll soften the blow for the common people's 401ks so they don't completely revolt, but the c-suite execs will get their big payoff and the asset buyup (datacenters, hardware, etc) in the aftermath will transfer an unimaginable amount of wealth into the hands of yet fewer people and dramatically increase inequality.

It's a shitty solution, and one that is not viable long term, but since it has worked so many times in the past, I doubt the government is going to change up their winning strategy. Especially not with the current clown cadre at the helm.

It's similar for Chess AI (and by that I mean Chess Engines that have been developed for decades, not LLMs) except that the engines will play extremely principled and cautious Chess, right up until it gets out of the book/theory territory and it calculates 20-30 moves into the future and determines that an incredibly unintuitive and bizarre move is the "best" position, but even the top grandmasters would likely never find that specific move that the engine determined was the best move you could make.

In some cases, you can tell when someone is cheating by seeing them make top engine moves that don't do anything or really advance the board state in a meaningful way the turn you make them because it forces the opponent to make one or more less optimal moves that the player could capitalize on, but humans are terrible and seeing these patterns because they are super analytical and require precise calculation. Also, asking them to explain why they made those moves is another way to catch them in the act - and a subject of a great deal of controversy in modern chess tournaments when some players give less than convincing answers when pressed on why they made certain moves in the game.

They got scammed the first time around too. Remember "Finish The Wall"? Trump didn't build an inch of wall with that money, it just vanished into thin air and appeared as a few extra digits in his bank accoount.

The same people who forked over money for that and then admitted regretting it afterwards were the same ones gleefully preordering this phone. They'll be mad about it for a bit and then they'll fall for it again in due time. Easy marks.

More testing of the waters for 2028 when he inevitably refuses to leave office.

It's already an incredibly popular sign at every No Kings protest or just random local protests in general.

Even if it was just Comey who did it, this doesn't constitute a direct or actionable threat. 86 is kitchen jargon to get rid of something, and one interpretation of that could be to kill, but another could be to get rid of him using the legal channels already in place (impeachment, invoking 25th amendment, etc.).

This indictment has no legs and will get tossed out before any competent judge.

The cornucopia was there. I swear on my life I saw it.

I'm now convinced that there was a knock-off brand that posed as Fruit of the Loom for years with the altered logo. That's the only explanation I'll accept. Mandela effect my ass.

There are a few videos out there that break down the... let's say questionable or highly suspicious series of coincidences that trail behind the shooting, as well as the kneejerk reaction from the right in response that raises some eyebrows, so I would say just go watch those. People are really latching onto flimsy evidence for this one. I haven't seen anything really convincing yet that would suggest that the government orchestrated a false flag attack, and I feel like this administration is too incompetent to be able to handle a covert operation of that nature without fumbling it badly.

I like to lean on the side of Occam's Razor and say that it's pretty likely that in a country with hundreds of millions of people and hundreds of millions of guns and a very publicly hated president, it's not that surprising that a few of those people have tried to kill him and got close enough to try. As far as security goes, yes it was a much lower security detail but the shooter was also apprehended at basically the first possible security checkpoint and Trump and the dinner guests were never in any danger. The security worked exactly as it should have.

I remember this shit being delicious when I was a kid, but a couple of years ago I bought a box on a whim to try it out and it was almost inedible.

Recently renamed to Epstein Visa for, uh, reasons.

A white California man tried to KILL our deeply unpopular pedophile president so we need to get RID of the fillibuster so we can FUND the DHS so that they can DEPORT more BROWN PEOPLE!

If only Crooks had better aim, we could have had the pink mist televised for the whole world to see.

Yep, that one.
