Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's your opinion about the future of US and EU if people can afford less every year?English
1·3 days agoIf we’re lucky BRICS will declare sanctions against the US and its allied fascist regimes. Once the system collapses, perhaps China will invade and free us from American capitalism.

Politics@beehaw.org•Costco sues Trump administration for 'full refund' of tariffsEnglish
1·3 days agoThat money’s gone. It magically disappeared into Trump family coffers in the Cayman Islands or Swiss bank accounts or someplace. In any case, no one will ever see it again.
So if by some miracle Costco wins their suit, and if by another miracle the Supreme Court doesn’t overturn that result, the only way anyone is getting repaid anything is by collecting it out of taxpayer dollars. The money that was actually collected as tariffs is a lost cause. We can look forward to much higher taxes when we are forced to pay back the tariffs that Trump stole.
I swear, the American people must be the stupidest in human existence. Any population with even a single ball between them would have ended all this French-Revolution-style decades ago.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something you can see, hear, smell, etc., that others can't?English
5·3 days agoI’m a super-taster and thanks to lots of childhood abuse I’m hypervigilant. So pretty much everything. If a person anywhere in the area has been smoking or in a smoky room any time in the last day or two, I’ll know it. I know what you last ate - and drank, if it wasn’t water. I can hear a woman sobbing quietly in a locked room down the hall when nobody else can.
I see beauty in the clouds in the sky at night. I smell faint smoke on the wind. Scents that remind me of long ago, when I was a child - like the smell of shrinky-dinks coming off a hot metal mold, or pastries coming out of an Easy-bake oven. Autumn leaves swirling in an icy breeze. Or the smell of something like earwax, or tar.
I often wonder how normal people live without sensing so much of the world!

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What show is weirdly or oddly cozy for you?English
2·15 days agoOddly enough, Emergency! (1972). There’s something reassuring about it.
Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist is very relaxing and cozy. And it’s all available on YouTube.
And, of course, The Waltons.

Global News@lemmy.zip•Trump calls Democrats who told US military to refuse illegal orders 'traitors' who should face death penaltyEnglish
1·16 days agoIs he going to start actually carrying through on his threats at some point? If not, what’s the point?
If Trump really had balls, he’d march a bunch of ICE goons into Congress and start the executions already! And broadcast it on national TV, all channels, mandatory viewing for all Americans.
He’s basically just teasing America with the fascism, at this point. I’m convinced that he’s basically in a state of dementia, and doesn’t really know what he’s doing from day to day.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you think Trump will fall because of the new Epstein emails?English
4·24 days agoI’m still skeptical that Epstein died at all! More likely they killed some guy who looked like him and let Mossad spirit the real Epstein away to Tel Aviv, where he’s living under a new identity on the beach with all the children he can r*pe.
As for Trump, no. Come on. The only way ANY of the corruption ends is with a general strike and the overthrow of the state - plus, with any luck, capitalism itself.

Politics@beehaw.org•'Next Step Is Primaries': Calls for Schumer Ouster After Leading Shutdown SurrenderEnglish
2·24 days agoIt’s not just the rotating eight. It’s not just Schumer.
It’s the ENTIRE Democratic Party. This was a cold, calculated act that sent a message to the electorate: vote all you want, but the billionaires are in the driver’s seat and they’re not giving you an inch.
Not one goddamned inch. You’re down in the shit, and that’s where you peasants belong.
It’s a shell game. It’s rigged to the hilt. Both parties belong to the same billionaires, body and soul. The point is to keep the proles cheering for whichever cop is promising to save them from the other one, while both beat the shit out of you.
Funny how Americans forgot the lesson from 250 years ago. The one about the only solution for the Owner class. But then, they’ve been in control of the classrooms and the media for a long, long time.
#GeneralStrike #Revolution
The next step will be empowering the President and his officials to remove citizenship from ANYONE, including native-born Americans - and I’m specifically including native Americans. They’ll sell us as slaves to dictators overseas.
