Almost 240 mass shootings in the USA this year. Mass shootings in non-warzone countries are countable on one hand.

Hmmmmmmmm.... I don’t believe this is accurate. Unless maybe you play some extreme games with definitions and count lack of easy availability of non-US shootings as “no shootings”

So the big trade deal announcement is.... The name has been changed, and Canada has been cut out of the deal. Trade with the Great North will be discussed and covered in another set of bilateral agreements and talks.

This is fine. This is all very perfectly fine and good.

Is this some r/the_donald thing where they claim that other countries actually have just as many mass shootings as the US

No, not at all. Different countries have different ways of recording and reporting things and definition of mass shootings, etc. Compared to a Western nation in general, the US clearly still has waaaaaaay more firearm violence.

But when you see 240 mass shootings thrown out for the US, and 5 or less thrown out for the rest of the world without a source, that’s suspect as hell.

I like how Trump can take a poo poo and then announce he is not only ending NAFTA which was supposedly a bedrock of our economy. But that he is announcing a vague new trade deal with Mexico with no details, and a clause that says “gently caress Canada” and in response the Dow goes up like 300 points.

Meanwhile if anyone who even espouses the basics of socialism comes to power the Dow tanks.

Capitalism is stupid...

Trump is basically bullshitting about the trade stuff. He literally has no idea what he's talking about with any of it, so he's trampling over his (actual) good news by slinging it with horseshit.

Which he then proceeds to trample over by being a petulant baby over McCain!

Can we please just have the housing market and economy take a massive poo poo so that enough people will realize that he's just not good at anything?

all the MAGA "owning the libtards with mah hat" people I work with are starting to come around with the notion that he's not really good when it comes to being a president EXCEPT the economy. They say that he's doing amazing things for us 'mericans and OH MR PISS HAVE YOU NOT SEEN THE STOCK MARKET IT'S DOING SO WELL. Explaining to them that the stock market isn't a recollection of how well the actual economy is doing doesn't connect in their brains.

I guess it's just a selfish thing in my mind that I too, want them to be owned that their president is a dumb piece of poo poo and has done nothing to really benefit the general population of the United States.

It's coming. The housing market is hot enough to supernova, wages are stagnant, the Fed is increasing interest rates, White People are Renovating Houses, the credit default rate is starting to increase.

Ask them how the economy was under Obama in 2016. If they say bad, explain to them it was the exact same economy except a black man was in charge.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, but the coming economic collapse combined with climate change most assuredly causing a societal/ecological collapse in, say, Bangladesh is going to do wonders for global stability. The next 10-20 years are going to be fun! At least we might see if we get true AI by then so we can get the Deus Ex Helios ending to humanity that I’ve dreamed of.
