Is there a Slammer edit for this yet

“Barely noticeable drop” is a bit of an understatement I’d wager. Maybe by comparison. 1% of the Chinese GDP is still the livelihood of millions of people.

Imagine being Taiwanese, looking at the current state of Ukraine and thinking “This rules. I want this for me.”

My favorite Santos moment:

During the House speaker fight following Kevin McCarthy’s ouster in early October, Mr Santos was seen screaming at pro-Palestinian protesters in the Longworth House Office Building while holding a two-month-old baby.

Leaving the office of Rep Tim Burchett, Mr Santos was asked if it was his baby.

“Not yet," he said at the time.

Quoting myself:

Musk has literally zero redeeming qualities. He might be the worst person alive in every possible aspect. He’s despicable from a moral standpoint, hideous to look at, an awful public speaker, tediously unfunny, not personable in the slightest, dumb as a brick and obnoxiously whiny. I am not exaggerating, he might be The Worst Guy Ever. It is incredible just how much he sucks.

This useless Apartheid Andy steps into a government position and immediately sets the collapse of the American empire into overdrive. His sheer oafishness causes a 71% drop in perhaps the most overvalued company of all time. And when push comes just within vague proximity of shove, he immediately quits.

I know there is no such thing as meritocracy but Musk is so awful at everything he does, so horrendously incompetent, there are so many ghouls with rich parents who are just as sociopathic but way smarter and more persistent than him, how did this absolute fucking idiot become the richest man in the world?

Donald Trump is funny. Peter Thiel doesn’t embarrass himself on stage every week. Asmongold knows how to play Path of Exile. Adolf Hitler was a good public speaker. Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t crumble at the slightest bit of pushback. JD Vance can laugh at a joke about himself. Elon Musk fails at all of these aspects while sucking just as hard in every other way.

And then, somehow this unbelievable loser is a sex pest who pressures women to have his kids but doesn’t even get laid in the process. Oh, you got this attractive 25-year-old right-wing grifter chick pregnant… but you didn’t have sex with her? If he was paying these hot women to let him knock them up the natural way he’d still be a gross creep, but my primitive male brain would be able to relate on some level. But no, he’s paying them exclusively so he can mail them his fucking sperm and become a deadbeat dad to another abandoned child.

Why is he like this? What the fuck is wrong with this man? All the other tech oligarchs have some level of competence, how is Musk so horrendously awful, pathetic, weak, obnoxious, useless and despicable in every conceivable way? How is this wannabe-hitlerian boer the richest man in the world?

Like, if I got everything I wanted politically, chuds would be fucking pissed.

Tbf I think once they felt the material improvements to their lives, a lot of them would come around.

Yeah it’s true, Luigi called me like two weeks before the incident and asked if he could borrow my old camping gear for him and his buddy @MemesAreTheory@hexbear.net

Hope the one missing hook on the tent didn’t cause any problems for y’all

A lot of people are fine being pissed on by the ruling class as long as there’s also people below them in the hierarchy for them to piss on.

Value is created by entrepreneurs and investors, you see.

Yeah. The pope is never gonna be good, but we’re never gonna get a pope who sucks less than this one.

They’re actually just dumb. These people think AI is the Oracle of Delphi.

Looking forward to the day Bukele outlives his usefulness to the US and joins Zelenskyy and Bin Laden in that one meme

Surely they’ll do the right thing this time

Who’d make the better dream president: Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton

Lukashenko has insane swag

I don’t even know what this means exactly but I know in my heart that it’s true

I mean personally I always knew Trump was a complete buffoon. I’m just surprised nobody’s stopping him from doing the dumbest thing at every possible opportunity.

Not that I was ever contemplating immigrating to the US, but I suppose this means it’s off the table anyways.

Newsheads, did anything come off that whole Milei crypto impeachment thing?

Felix was right when he said asking an undecided voter is like asking a labrador retriever about their ideas on tax policy

It worked for the Obungler
