I don't think we talked enough about Tucker's audience being abysmal.

Of course, not all viewers will pay. Most will not. But having 7K subscribers is absolutely dogshit numbers, especially for someone like him.

No wonder he's obviously taking money from foreign governments now to be a propaganda mouthpiece. I bet his lifestyle costs a pretty penny and he'd have to downgrade with those dogshit subscriber numbers, if he didn't supplement somehow.

Vibes are going well, for some reason.

It is because a recession requires two quarters in a row of negative growth. So since Q2 doesn't look like it's going to be that way, you're betting on either a calamitous crash in what remains of this quarter plus Q3 or a disastrous Q3 and Q4. Even then who knows if they'd actually declare a recession, when it happened under Biden they said ackshully those rules are more like guidelines.

Also Spirit Airlines is going broke apparently, Trump won't give them a 500m bailout

Don't you mean Sprint Airlines?

I was shocked they were still in business. It's been a joke longer than some people in the thread have been alive that spirit airlines is called that because if you take a flight on their airline, you become a spirit.

The Reagan amnesty has to be one of the biggest blunders made in the last several decades

Good. Less black folks in airports the better.

I've been getting ads from Democrats for State AG and Governor.
They're all running on #RESIST, we need to stop Trump. I'm unsure about the Midterms but they're 100% cooked in 2028.

Hey speaking of here's a fun thread sequitor:

So I visited Sacramento for the first time last year, back around when the government shutdown was happening in October/November, I forgot what it was for since so much happened already.

But anyway, friend was driving me to his place, and I saw this sign on the side while we were driving, gave me a good laugh.



(If it's hard to see, someone graffiti'd a NO over the yes)

I just thought it was interesting having stepped foot into Cali for the first time, with how much I hear about it being shitstain malato democrat central over there.

You underestimate the Zoomers. We notice things my guy. The reason the resentment boiled over, was due to, among other things, the war happening when most of us couldn't get a house. You expected us to give a fuck about your struggle when nobody cares about ours.

Zoomers are very likely going to be the cause of a civil war if one ever happens. Several things

• A zoomer killed Charlie Kirk
• Zoomers have the poorest money management skills of all the working generations
• Zoomers are the only generation who never experienced war directly. While Millennials technically didn’t experience it either, they at least could remember 9/11 well. Zoomers see war through the lens of entertainment and don’t see it as horrific.
• They don’t enjoy normal things like sex, beer, and barbecue. They require something ‘epic’ and ‘cinematic’ and are otherwise miserable. This means they suffer from discontent nearly every day.

Zoomers are nihilistic, bad with money, and can’t enjoy day-to-day life. They are a ticking timebomb. As for gen alpha, well it seems like they are too autistic to be much of a threat, but we’ll see.

The widespread nihilism of Zoomers is pretty spooky.

This is not vibes, it's a reaction to recent changes with the Federal Reserve. Currently, the Reserve is engaging in quantitative easing, aka money printing, to try to prevent a recession because we can not raise interest rates due to our insane debt levels, but we also can not allow a recession that would lead to massively dropped tax revenue. Money printing does prevent recessions, but it does it at the expense of furthering our already thoroughly unacceptable inflation, hence why the odds of a recession have dropped.

Additionally, the old Federal Reserve head, Powell, is out, and his new pick, Warsh, is going to be taking over after his Congressional approval formality, and there is a general belief that Warsh is more likely to do what Trump wants, unlike Powell who ignored Trump's input. From what I gather, Trump and Powell had some very harsh disagreements over interest rates and money printing, in no small part because Powell made some economically unsavory decisions that helped Biden's presidency, but has been unwilling to do the same in Trump's presidency. Considering Trump's picks are often backstabbing or incompetent, we will have to see what actually happens, but regardless, that would explain the gamblers' change in perspective.

Also, why is Trump doing Blue Steel straight out of Zoolander?
