Aneristic Illusions / 'Deathnomics' is Transforming ...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - August 27, 2025, 12:40:19 PMI was surprised to not find a remotely recent thread dedicated to the Russian/Ukrainian War on this board. (That's, no doubt, because this old, established board now has so few active members.)
I do not actively follow The Telegraph. But, as per a quick Google search, this British media outlet appears to be fairly well respected. And, the following well-written article, quoted on an American political website, caught me completely off guard:
Russia's new middle class can't afford for Putin's war to end
'Deathnomics' is transforming Russian society. Few would welcome peace
I'm not, as I usually do, going to post any quotations from this particular article. If the title alone is of no interest to you, then neither will be anything else I might attempt to bring to your attention. But, I will say that I found this article to be a sobering, thought provoking read.

Aneristic Illusions / But ... but ... isn't this *ga...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - August 24, 2025, 09:09:54 PMWorse still, isn't this yet another "gateway drug" leading our country down the path to Biblically Evil Communism?! This sounds like yet another abomination perpetrated by the POSOTUS, and masterminded by his late best friend, Wall Street financier Jeffrey Epstein! And so, I can't help but wonder, to avenge his murder, is the dead fellow pervert's spirit now striking out against Truth, Justice, and The American way from beyond the grave?!
Intel announces $8.9 billion investment from US government, which will own 9.9% of chipmaker
I thought MAGAts prided themselves on being soulless, take-no-prisoners, laissez-faire, let-the-buyer-beware Capitalists. So, this sounds like even more extreme right-wing hypocrisy to me!

Yes his biggest task is make a tweet that causes Trump to have a stroke. If he does then, I dont know, nominate him for a regicide award.

As of today, Newsom is not my first choice for the next Democratic candidate for POTUS. But, the election is still a long way off. A lot is going to happen between now and then. And, I'm hoping a number of other good Democratic candidates will "throw their hats in the ring."

Aneristic Illusions / Re: The Resistance 2.0!
Last post by Abbot Mythos - August 21, 2025, 08:41:35 PMHere's a new, effective Resistance 2.0 tactic:
Newsom trolling spree shows signs of success; Bannon gives California governor credit
As per this article:
"Nobody is getting under MAGA's skin quite like California Gov. Gavin Newsom. And it's not just comical — it's effective. Every cable news channel is talking about him, weekly if not daily.
Newsom, who many believe is a likely contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028, has taken a page straight from Donald Trump's playbook. He's leaning into Trump's bombastic posting style and serving it back to him, stunt for stunt. His trolling includes a photoshopped image of Mount Rushmore with his face on it, a mock-up of himself as a king on the cover of Time magazine, and even an AI-generated image of Newsom surrounded by Tucker Carlson, the late Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock — before writing in all caps that he hates Kid Rock.
It sounds silly, and that's the point. The déjà vu effect is meant to hold up a mirror to Trumpworld, showing Republicans exactly how absurd their tactics look from the outside. And let's be honest — it's working."
This new tactic against the sociopath-in-chief is not only hysterically funny, it's absolutely brilliant!

Last post by Abbot Mythos - August 20, 2025, 10:06:58 PMTo the surprise of few, Musk quietly puts brakes on plans for new political party, WSJ says.
That entire sentence is not really a great clickbait title, but it's accurate.
So, I'm guessing Elmo the Oligarch has come to realize that stating a new, successful political party is the hardest thing it may be possible to do in 'Merican politics. And now, as per this article:
"Musk, the world's richest man, and his associates have told people close to Vance that the billionaire is considering using some of his financial resources to back Vance if he decides to run for president in 2028, the paper said."
And I say, "Go for it, Elmo the Oligarch!" Of course, a lot can, and will, happen between now and 'Merica's 2028 presidential election. But, as of right now, I think Vance is the candidate Democrats can only dream about running against.
