We need a ben hunt common knowledge game moment. The same way we had one with Biden on the debate stage.

This is like the 5th time... TACO.

What changes now from the last year? its been this absurd for a year but nothing seems to matter.

We live in the dumbest possible timeline.

“Truly I tell you, whatever you refused to do for the immigrant, the asylum seeker, the refugee - the least protected and most convenient to blame - you refused to do for me.”

Gospel of Matthew 25:35–40

When did we see you separated from your children, or locked in detention centers, or deported to danger?

And the King will reply,

I was sick, and you asked for my papers.

I was detained behind razor wire, and you said the law mattered more than mercy.

Then the righteous will answer,

“Lord, when did we see you crossing our border without documents?

When did we see you sleeping on concrete, wrapped in foil blankets?

For I was hungry at the border, and you called it a policy problem.

I was thirsty in the desert, and you said it wasn’t your responsibility.

I was a stranger fleeing violence, and you told me to go back where I came from.

I needed shelter, and you built higher walls.

Fake narrative meets real economy.

This was an awesome podcast

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth... Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."
-Caral Sagan

"I used to think that if there was reincarnation, I wanted to come back as the President or the Pope or a .400 baseball hitter. But now I want to come back as the bond market. You can intimidate everybody." - James Carville

At least he's consistent with the fake numbers...

There is no plan...

In may 2000 the fed hiked 50bps when the Nasdaq was down 28% because of "inflationary imbalances that would undermine the economy's outstanding performance.".

Based on their stellar 08 performance I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard An official on the administration’s antisemitism task force told the university that a letter of demands had been sent without authorization.

When a tyrant starts to stutter and sends signals that his outlandish demands were sent without his authority, you know he’s a paper tiger. That’s when you’ve gotta double down on your resistance!

Now we have to watch and help participate in the narrative changing.

We are moving from the attention economy where you can say whatever you want to get more likes, to the real economy where those actions have consequences. The authoritarian tradeoff requires the lives of people to get better to trade their freedoms. That mathematical cannot happen with this policy.

The only positive outcome from this is that we apparently have a few adults left in the room.

In 23 as the stock kept getting cut the calls kept getting more and more absurd. At this point he does not have much to lose. Expect ultimate baboonery on this one.

What I find interesting about all of this is he clearly told you the stupid things he was going to do. Everyone imprinted their views on him and assumed he would only do the things they wanted and not all the other ‘dumb’ things he said.

This implosion is just getting started.
