Trump Neurosis Thread

[Oldcarpy2]

I don't have to spin it, it's not a big deal unless you are an overly sensitive and worrisome sort. 

This is the reoccurring issue with the left's whinging, crying, and pleading at every occurrence in Trump's administration 

It's literally the (boy, girl, them, and they) who cried wolf, it's done so many times by the left it carries no weight, it has no credence. 

It's pretty bad here on DI the faithful nervously and anxiously waiting for the ultimate gotcha or ah-ha told ya so moment.  It's laughable and it mirrors the few and the loud on X and Reddit. 

In 4 or 5 days at the most some other non-issue will pop up and the devastating "Hegseth cock up" will fade into oblivion, so I wouldn't worry your little Wiltshire head about it too much

I'm not on the left.

We have your top Trump appointees revealed as calling their and your European long time allies "pathetic" and creating a massive security breach through sheer incompetence and you expect the Five Eyes not to be even a bit twitchy?

Nothing to see, move along....

"The faithful"?!!!!

Pure irony.

Some folk wouldn't realise a "gotcha moment" if it was in their face shouting "gotcha"! at them.
As for loud folk on X, how about Trump?
He's pretty loud on there.

Honestly, can't you see what a train wreck of a disaster this is?

Jeez man if this is your train-wrecking cock up, no wonder the UK anxiously worries about Russia invading FFS...

As I suggested to another poster Im just not as emotionally invested and certainly not concerned to add such demonstrative adjectives to the discussion.

I said it was a bad look, but to suggest it's anything more is making a mountain out of a molehill, a tempest in a teacup... ultra paranoid handwringing BS it's got no legs Sally... 

Tell you what if this is still on the MSM headlines in 7 days I won't post here for a month...

for perspective, Hegseth isn't even trending on X anymore.

Here's Hegseth speaking live to the troops in Hawaii

[putnam6]

What a list! But as a former roommate would say, "Every silver lining has a dark cloud."

Plus I'm too neoliberal and globalist at heart to like using protectionism, isolationism, and key manufacturing tariffs to strong arm commerce to return domestic production. I didn't mind them exploiting Mexico pay and NAFTA/USMCA for overhead, real estate, and labor costs actually.

And I know there is something to complain about... There has to be some way to say, "Yeah his plan to force domestic production worked, BUT...."

How much are the prices of Hyundai, Volkswagen, Honda, Nissan, and Volvos going up? Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and all the red 7.25/hour states jobs are still paying costs way above Mexico.



Not to mention land/tax cost in places like Tijuana, Rosarito, or Mexicali is way below the American one. Who absorbs the higher production cost most? The people given $21/hour jobs in Louisiana?

It's like the 80s, only it learned to not let people outsource for even greater profit. So The Nikkei can't crash and screw everyone over again.

Phones, Computers, And anything that plugs in is likely gonna go up.

But at least all the lowest-paying red states are getting a lot of new manufacturing jobs...

At times, It's almost like theres a slightly cultural need to return to calloused rough skin and blue collars. Like a return of real men with the lunch pails and the PPE. Like coal mines and foundries are part of a return to greatness.

FWIW we need our blue-collar workforce hell I think men need blue-collar jobs like mining after all thats what the Annuaki designed humans for ...wink wink

but seriously those blue-collar jobs are a must for all the mansplaining manly men to burn off that extra testosterone.

FWIW most manufacturing companies will avoid blue counties for red counties for a variety of reasons lower taxes higher public safety a host of other lower costs per unit. State taxes alone...we have one of our manufacturers relocating from the northeast to the south solely because taxes and insurance is significantly cheaper.  




I had to post so much because Im a Libra and I seek balance... but Trump is getting loads of corporate interests which is still good, right? 

We both know there will be additions in the blue states in a variety of sectors, we know automotive will have a positive impact on a number of states same for defense spending

I don't give monkeys about X.

Nothing to see here, move on.


The rest of the World is laughing at you.

And is deeply concerned at your Trump appointees ridiculous incompetence.

But never mind.

Seriously?

[Oldcarpy2]

This is a total disgrace.

But MAGA fanatics will spin it.

At this point I will give up on them .

And will wish you all good luck over the Pond.

Oh no, the world is laughing at us what should I do? Carpy, what will we do? 

First, it was tragic now it's a comedy, this over-the-top concern, it's hilarious AF, even for the British...

You profess deep concern?

I suggest it's more likely paranoid delusions of impending doom brought on by acute exposure to the liberal media wing of the BBC Daily Mail and the other MSM available in the Big Smoke. 

Stop
hold on
stay in control

expect the Five Eyes not to be even a bit twitchy?

Wondering if at some level there's involved groups that no longer see FVEY ("Five Eyes": UK, USA, CAN, AUS, NZ) as necessary any more. After all, it started as UK-USA -- a transatlantic "lifting of the kimono", intelligence sharing by agencies restricted somewhat in their own domestic activities. "You spy on us, we'll spy on you, and we'll share data with each other". A workaround.

But hasn't that been what Silicon Valley and the digital panopticon has been working for years towards? Domestic surveillance is now privatized, to a large extent, with downstream data collected far more efficiently via ubiquitous electronic device, and shared through an aggregation and analysis ecosystem. Trunk capture is handled domestically, too, with legal FISA workaround -- "it's not spying if we don't peek".

So what does FVEY do any more, anyway? Sure UK has some expertise. But that's easily grokked, haha. And what's with the Canada thing? Are we seeing actual fractures in the Anglosphere, or is this just posturing? What's the agenda?
