Sure, whatever.

At this point, I frankly don't even really care anymore.

Does the USA just let anyone become in charge of large areas of the country? Like you don't need to be an elected official or anything?

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 11 points 2 hours ago

Elected? You don't even need to be qualified. Or even sane.

They are on track to bankrupt The Onion

[–] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 3 hours ago

That's their game plan to prevent the Onion from purchasing the infowars domain

TRUMP SLAMS LINDA INTO THE EDUCATION SECRETARY POSITION.

Reminds me of Dolores Umbridge. Why do they all remind me of Dolores Umbridge?

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 37 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Because despite the fact that Voldy was Harry's nemesis via prophecy, Umbridge was everyone nemesis. Just out of spite.

She was worse.

Imelda Staunton did an amazing job of playing such a vile character. She really nailed the lawful evil nature from source material.

[–] chuymatt@startrek.website 1 points 5 hours ago

She plays vile so incredibly well. I think it was Gypsy that I had to turn off and take a break from, as she was so horrible (the character, not the acting).

Second biggest individual doner for trump... Interesting.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 44 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Damn I could go for some doner

[–] BonerMan@ani.social 24 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah a döner would be cool.

[–] MattTheProgrammer@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

I've got a böner for döner

[–] BrundleFly2077@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 hours ago

I thought amaybe she a doner the most thingsa for Donna’ Trump. Wahou?

Since literally everything in the government seems to be getting dismantled, what companies are going to pick up the pieces for these sectors? If we are drowning in a sinking ship we can at least invest in a life boat to buy eggs with and fight the impending inflation. The goal seems to shift trillions from government funding to private sectors and deregulate to let the friends of Trump get even wealthier.

Solar is and isn't going to be a future successful asset, because Trump will do everything to devalue it while the rest of the world moves right on to adopting it.

Gold is at an ATH, Bitcoin is at an ATH, oil is a gamble because while Conservatives may push it, the move for renewables is against it.

Metals and materials for computer chips are still worthwhile investments and Ai is shaky unless it pulls a few more parlor tricks.

The only real things I can find that are corrupt and exempt enough from litigation or a recession...

are prisons and weapons contractors.

I’m buying reits. Real assets may hold their value while trump is purposely fucking shit up.

How long is the education secretary gonna be there if we're getting rid of the department of education?

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

Well, the department of energy is still around.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 20 points 10 hours ago

Let's make bets on how many rounds!

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 2 points 6 hours ago

Surely she’ll be less bad than DeVos, though
