LOL. Trump is so desperate that he is now essentially trying to buy votes (in the direct Third World sense) for the GOP in the midterms. To make the whole thing seem at least a bit legit, the Don promises 5000 dollars for everyone if the GOP wins the November elections.
Ahem, if the Federal Reserve (or Fort Knox? Or the Trump Organization?) has that much money, why don´t they give it to every American *now*. Something tells me many good citizens could need five grand ASAP...
Översättning: Witkoff och Kushner kommer att kräva att Ukraina lämnar Donbass. Igen. Antagligen sista försöket innan mellanårsvalet i november...
Alltså bör Ukraina säga nej. Och så var det med det.
Or maybe it´s just the midterm election campaign, yes? Some on-line drama surrounding Nick Fuentes, Hunter Biden and Hassan Piker. Does anyone *really* care anymore?
Apparently, Tucker Carlson and MTG have officially left the Republican Party. Not sure what this means, but both are popular at least on-line. Tucker´s decision was apparently triggered by the GOP´s support for Israel. Not sure why MTG left now, but she has a long list of complaints against the Trump administration. As we know.
Everyone (sometimes secretely) hopes that everything will simply go back to Normality when the Republicans are defeated in the upcoming US midterm elections. Or at the very latest when Gavin Newsom becomes POTUS in 2028.
Maybe. But what if *nothing changes*? What if Trump´s "isolationist" or "multi-polar" orientation isn´t a temporary aberration, but an objective necessity? He is pursuing that course very erratically, to be sure, but what if the course itself is baked into the cake at this point?
After all, Biden´s administration had all kinds of conflicts even with America´s allies, including the UK and France. And when Russia attacked Ukraine, Biden urged caution. Or compare Biden´s debacle in Afghanistan (c/o Trump) with Trump´s debacle in the Persian Gulf. The Biden admin was confrontational with China, as had Trump Mark 1. They even promoted the Wuhan lab leak theory!
In the background, we have the national debt crisis in the United States. Or the BRICS anti-dollarization moves. And what if oil and gas prices won´t go back to normal?
What if the United States will prove incapable of shouldering the fiscal and military burdens of defending Europe against Russia or its East Asian allies against China? What if Democrats or Neo-Cons simply can´t restore the status quo before, say, 2016? Even if Russia is weakened by some kind of decisive setback in Ukraine, it´s still not obvious that this will strengthen the "rules-based liberal world order". Maybe it will simply strengthen China. I can see them (pro)claiming a Co-Prosperity Sphere in Siberia and the Russian Far East!
Add to this the enormous problems in building new nuclear power plants or sustaining the AI-related data centers. I would glady trade the latter for the former, but what if even that won´t work? And then there´s the creeping demographic crisis, problems surrounding migration, new pandemics, and so on.
Maybe the world around 2040 will look pretty much the same no matter which political factions takes over post-Trump: a Potemkin America, a Russian Time of Troubles, a French-dominated Euro-Canadian alliance, and a very shaky Beijing-centric "new world order". And underneath this, large masses of African migrants and refugees...and perhaps some crazy rich White men trying to "geo-engineer" the atmosphere.
In case you wonder why I´m not *that* optimistic about the next 15 years. But sure, I could be wrong. I mean, Paul Ehrlich couldn´t predict the cost of tungsten, right?
Gabbard resigns. For personal reasons. Maybe. Or maybe she has seen the writing on the wall...

The midterm elections probably won´t be pretty, let´s put it that way...
Voting Rights Act Supreme Court victory gets GOP giddy over saving midterms
Donald Trump finally purges his "Strasserites". Apparently, the Great Leader went nuclear on Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Candace Owens and some other Alt Right influencers who oppose his war on Iran. If "MAGA" means something like "isolationist conservative populism with some QAnon fringes", then MAGA is now definitely over. At least as a Trump-centric movement broadly within the Republican Party.
However, I suspect The Young Turks (link above) are wrong when predicting that this will affect the midterms. No, it won´t. Most GOP voters - including those who support Trump - seem to back the Iran War. The Democrats might win, of course, but for other reasons, not because of a so-called "split in MAGA". At least not if MAGA is defined in the sense above. *That* MAGA is a small current.
That being said, US politics can take strange turns (cough cough), so predicting anything at this point might be a fool´s errand. But that´s my foolish two cents!

Apparently, Nick Fuentes (the Groyper Führer) is going to vote Democrat in the midterms. To punish the Republicans and Trump. Or something. Oh. Amazing that guy still thinks he´s relevant...
Försökte få Gemini att ändra datumet till "2026", men av någon avledning vägrar AI-verktyget att göra så. Fast "1 april" låter ju logiskt, LOL.
Både mellanårsval i USA och svenska val senare i höst. Ja, jäklar.
A new book, promoted by the pro-Trump site Breitbart News, argues that a cabal of globalist billionaires are trying to weaponize the public´s fear of AI job less for various nefarious ends, one of which is (surprise) to push a certain Donald J Trump out of effective office.
Sure, that may be possible. So who´s behind this book, then? Let me guess. The *other* oligarchic tech faction, the one backing the Donald?
The author acknowledges that new data centers are pushing up water and electricity prices for the US working class and hopes/wants Trump to address this problem. Which may indeed be a clever strategy if you want the GOP to carry the midterms, since the Democrats will otherwise hijack this "populist" issue. However, since Trump´s crown prince Vance is bought by Peter Thiel, I can´t say I´m holding my breath...
Not sure why Scott Carney (the first clip above) is so happy about Nick Fuentes calling on his supporters to boycott the midterms. Fuentes is a marginal character and hasn´t been MAGA (sensu stricto) for years. He tried to influence the 2024 presidential elections with a similar boycott call, and it didn´t work out (obviously). So a few Nazi wannabes won´t vote GOP in 2026 or 2028, who cares?
The second clip (from TYT) discusses the Steven Bannon situation. I find it amazing that Bannon *still* has some traction on the far right after all the revelations in the Epstein Files.
Maybe Fuentes the Groyper Führer has a certain point, after all. Time to burn it all down. Or at least walk away now and avoid the rush!

Ron Unz is a far right alt-media personality (und so weiter), but the article linked below is quite interesting. About half of it is a summary of a recent piece by longtime GOP strategist Karl Rove in the Wall Street Journal, arguing that Trump is losing the electorate even on his central campaign promise: putting an end to illegal immigration. The Greenland shenaningans were even less popular.
Unz then points out that America´s most important pod caster, Joe Rogan, seems to be fed up with Trump. More people follow the Joe Rogan Show than read newspaper or watch CNN. Rogan (who usually sounds like a somewhat left-leaning independent) may have played a role in Trump´s re-election, since he interviewed Trump on his show. Could Rogan´s criticism lose Trump the midterms?
Unz wonders aloud whether Trump might be going literally insane. He isn´t the only one. And yes, it´s Trump´s bizarre craving for the Nobel peace prize which triggered those reactions (same on my end). The article also references some less important people on the far right who are fed up with the Donald.
As I said, interesting.
It seems the Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria psy-op is finally over. Plz show this to the Democrats!
