i know the orwellian references are a bit tired at this point, but this administration is really putting "war is peace" into action!
Key aspects of the "war is peace" doublethink from Orwell's 1984:
1. Totalitarian Control: The Party in Oceania uses the slogan to force "doublethink," requiring citizens to believe contradictory ideas simultaneously.
2. Perpetual Conflict: The goal is not to win the war, but to maintain it continuously.
3. Economic Consumption: War consumes resources, preventing them from being used for education or improving life, which could lead to intelligent, questioning, and rebellious citizens.
4. Internal Unity: By creating a constant, external enemy, the population remains unified under the government, distracting them from domestic issues

Maybe -- I'm going to be as generous as I possibly can -- it's his version of a rally cap...? ton of different ways to express "gah, my team can't get it together!". not sure if a rally cap is the right signal to be giving though!

I guess only time will tell if this nets out good, but I haven't seen any (trusted) economists say with *confidence* that this will have a net positive effect. The Dow is now lower than it was a year ago:

Thanks to the last month of Trump's madman economic policies, whatever gains your 401k earned in Q4 of 2024 have been erased. E.g., the DOW was at 42,156 on Oct 1, 2024, peaked around 45,000 in December, but now it's at 41,553, below where we were in October. MAGA!

lol is trump a libra? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/u...
After the argument dragged on for an uncomfortable time, Mr. Trump finally intervened to defend Mr. Rubio as doing a “great job.” Mr. Rubio has a lot to deal with, the president said. He is very busy, he is always traveling and on TV, and he has an agency to run. So everyone just needs to work together.

Apart from the terror and crisis it brings, the other thing about fascism is just how f*cking stupid and ugly it is. And isn't it ironically how similar these two idiots look??

Saw one of these dudes (Downy woodpecker) scoping a tree outside my window today. Thought his red cap looked pretty sharp against the gray and brown of my Chicago street this morning (Photo cred: Ryan Askren).
