If you want to spend 75 minutes learning entirely too much about this fucker, I highly recommend this video:
I watched this a few weeks ago. Despite being incredibly terrible subject matter, it’s borderline required viewing. This fucking Wormtongue is reprehensible.
WATCH!
Warmbo broke containment! Warmbo found the fediverse! Everybody panic!
FUCK!
Everyone hide your cans of creamed corn!!
Rapist logic. I did what I did because I was strong enough to take what I want.
Absolutely disgusting.
What they did in Venezuela was so reprehensible that this is really the only possible defense. You can’t murder a bunch of innocent people to capture a drug trafficker and think that you get the moral high ground. If they can arrest Maduro and bring him to the US, then Venezuela should be able to arrest Trump for murder and bring him to Venezuela.
There is no moral high ground. There is no good outcome. This is just what happens when evil people gain control of the world’s most powerful military.
The fact that he’s allowed to be a public spokesperson for the administration speaks wonders. Wormtongue is supposed to be whispering in the shadows like he was in the first term. He’s now the public face of the mask off authoritarian message that keeps ramping up.
His role is to throw shit around. It has two purposes.
It works as a distraction from what the actual administration is doing, but they’re also watching if any of the shit sticks.
Vance is doing the same.
A lie needs to be told 3 times for anyone to believe it, so they’re “priming the pump” for Trump to deliver the final lie and make his followers believe that it’s the right thing to do.
I was just saying tonight - the fact that we’re seeing more and more of racist Nosferatu means things are getting much worse. They are have dropped all pretense of giving a shit. They’re not even giving us lies anymore. It’s now just “fuck you that’s why”.
This is getting dark but at this point US is clearly on a path to start using their powerful military to invade and occupy other countries. They are becoming the Nazi Germany of the XXI century but since they have nuclear weapons no one will be able to stop them. This will basically mean new cold war between US and China (and maybe EU if they manage to unite and develop a common position). So yeah, a lot of suffering ahead of us with a chance of nuclear war.
Except that, if China went full cold war with the US, all they’d have to do is stop selling to the US and the entire US economy would collapse. Not to mention that economic sanctions against the US would cripple the country completely, because Trump would just immediately default on the country’s debt (as he loves to do) and, oh yeah, the entire NYSE would crater to 0 in about 5 minutes flat.
the scenario in which China just stops selling to the US would probably collapse China’s economy too. Think about it. Why is the national debt so high? How is it that high and yet “most prosperous nation in the world”? International investment. There’s a lot of money invested from China and other countries. Their investments are only good so long as the American economy is good. International investors can leverage American debt to them as sort of capital asset to thereby invest in other things…
It’s a giant domino effect. When China pulls out, the American economy will likely collapse… but, then all the money people had invested and had leveraged also collapse… and so then those international investors can’t pay their debts because they have nothing to leverage it with and thus also collapse… and so on and so forth… the ripple is wide.

While the US may be one of their biggest single customer (representing about 16% of China’s exports), they’re far from China’s only customer.

The EU is almost the same size of market as the US, and the southeast Asian countries as a group are a larger customer than either of those.
Cutting off the US won’t cripple China. Plus the Chinese government is very willing to play the long game if they can foresee an eventual positive outcome for themselves.
Entitlement is such a drug. There is no known cure.

Even though this reply was removed, I bet I can guess the cure.
Uses gravity to drop sharp object, but i guess even insinuating it too much, didn’t use it’s name just the time period it was used in…
