If you're trying to forecast anything about this administration there has been only one reliable principle since the beginning and that's "It will be worse than you think"
If you're trying to forecast anything about this administration there has been only one reliable principle since the beginning and that's "It will be worse than you think"
Also, "What will cause the worst suffering to the most people?"
Resisters, 4/11-12 is the next Work Stop! We must stop the oligarchs by shutting down travel, manufacturing agriculture and tariffs. Stay home, buy local, meet with the local Chamber of Commerce to plan a local barter system. Participate a little or a lot: use the barter system or not. Resist ✊✊✊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Body Count….. that’s my forecast. Body Count.
We actually should keep a body count (just like there is a site that counts his days golfing). I am guessing it will be high.
There is one consistent theme: What would Putin do?
There isn't a block button on a webpage strong enough to stop what is coming and people need to stop trying to make it go away by making me go away bsky.app/profile/sean...
The problem is that people hate hearing that. The people they hate most in the world (the libs) are right. You can't own the libs if they were right. The climb-down will be awful.
Funny you should mention that. medium.com/@aletheisthe...
Wow.

At this point if it is even remotely sane, it's probably false.
I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop on eliminating the penny. That's actually smart, there has to be something else going on there.
If that actually happens I'll give credit where due, it's good policy. Broken clock, etc. etc.
Countries that have eliminated their smallest coin have realized a need to increase production of the next smallest coin. The nickel costs 13¢ to produce. Eliminating the penny was a nice story. Should have eliminated the hundredths place and gotten rid of nickel and penny (and quarter?)
They're getting there now yeah but when we first eliminated the penny in Canada over a decade ago it only cost about 5 cents to make a nickel. Only in the past few years has the material cost for nickels shot up.

Much worse and much scarier. We now are officially a police state. It started when TX put a bounty on those who assist a woman seeking healthcare. #Resist
100%
Global economics have entered into a new world order. One of uncertainty, backroom deals, and ever shifting tariff policy from our flip-flopper authoritarian president. It's gonna be a scary ride on a rickety rollercoaster. People are going to be ejected from their seats.
Waaaaay worse.
I actually was expecting this.
True, I remember thinking so so many times, well it can’t get worse than this! Oh how wrong I was!
And more stupid.🤪
CORRECTION: about this regime
That was the theme of season one-- this installment is far worse than even that... and no doubt, will continue down this path.
And also you cant forecast, because this has never in our history, happened before.
The only axiom that outperforms “orange man bad” is “orange man very bad”

Just read this! This is what the WORLD thinks of Trump and his administration
From the New York Times just now. This seems stupid considering migrants pay $59 billion a year in taxes.
Yup it is. cbwrong.blogspot.com?m=1
And the weather will be cruelty, with a chance of disaster.
Go to Youtube, search for Malcolm Nance, a high-level intelligence analyst, and listen to his video called Trump's Pearl Harbor on America. The video is too long to post here, but I urge you to listen it, all 27 minutes, and spread it around to your friends and allies.
Every fucking time. So much worse.

"DEMOCRAT PARTY???"" NO. FUCK YOU
If we tell him he's a good boy who has a huge beautiful brain & dick, will he stop?
YES
Worse, crueler and more debased.
Take a shotgun to some graph paper, draw some lines, add whatever label to the X and Y axis that you want, and you have a very accurate scatter plot projection concerning what they're gonna do next.
Prophetic.
John Oliver had a bit early in Trump I, where he'd point upwards & say something like, "that's what we used to think was rock bottom," maybe w some animated graphics or something. Anyway, I believe he did it in 3 consecutive episodes, & then abandoned it bc it became clear there was no bottom.
Whatever their value, in the end billionaires will own a greater share of all things including government and the ‘free’ press.
And all a lie
Also, if they are preparing a big move, they telegraph the punch basically months in advance. It's generally those "Nah, they wouldn't do that!" sorts of things in the moment that they end up following through on.
Unfortunately so!
Truth.
I've taken on the squidward philosophy kinda, "What's happening?" "Something stupid and evil, I'm sure."
Nailed it!
"Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning.”
When will there be a valued uprising, when things get worse than you could have imagined? Or NOW?
Right . Trust nothing and stick with the leaders you can trust. Every day, we grow stronger
So much worse.
People set their hair on fire in 2016 playing with matches. Decided to light the whole house on fire in 2024.
The worst day of the Trump administration is always the next.
Remember Trump lies about everything he did but will accuse others of anything he has done.
It’s like we can’t wait to see how terrible it will be.
I’m scared to refer back to Project 2025
I chatted with a financial advisor today to move my IRA around and he said we couldn't predict anything and I agreed - but added "except golfing"
Regime Reality #2: It will become incrementally & exponentially more painful! If you think this is bad...
Unfortunately, that applies to Social Security and Medicare.
And also dumber than you think
In the words of Dom "Woogie" Woganowski- "Each day is better than the next."
"...even when you take that into account"
With a single gallon of gas, they always somehow light a five gallon fire.

Yeah. No. I knew it would be this bad. 😞
There's the book Project 2025. It's 900+ pages of the detailed plan they're following now. Free downloadable PDF online too. Exactly what they intend to destroy and implement. Here's their progress: www.project2025.observer
Much much worse
And dumber. Worse and dumber than you can ever imagine
This, but for everything.
Unless you’re me, who was classically trained in expecting the worst.
That seems to be the level of "fuck it" we're all hitting
Worse and, in many instances, way dumber
The minute he was elected I said it will be worse than anyone could ever imagine.
yup…
Oh that's for sure!
Also much, much dumber.
And a lot of people are still on board making you a) question your sanity and/or b) lose hope in humanity
🎯🎯🎯
Except for Putin! Better or worse is always dependent on perspektive and objective.
Why is Trump hot on tariffs affecting business and government? Money - for both him and his family. Since January, companies have poured $80,000,000 into Trump personally. Meta - $25,000,000 X - 10,000,000. Disney - $15,000,000 Amazon - $41,000,000 It’s the grift. fortune.com/2025/02/15/m...
Plus stupider
I'll bet U a US dollar it's figuratively or monetarily worth less in a week.🍻🇨🇦
Anywhere there’s trust trump will destroy it, institutions, investments, the dollar, etc
🎯
That will be how history remembers this era: “Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse.”
The worst thing to ever happen to this country was Trump winning in 2016. If condom companies wanted to sell more products just show pictures and videos of Elon Musk and Trump and say "Your child could end up like one of these two" instant trillion dollars.
In 2016 after he won, I asked my dad “how bad could it be?” Well, four years later, 1.4 million Americans died of a preventable illness and 4 years after that, the US is disappearing people without due process. So pretty bad, was the answer to my question.
My dad said the same thing to me. And, here we are.
Wait. What? Crap. I thought everyone knew FDT was never kidding. #Hitler #Resist #BlueCrew. 😞
Oh it is. Armed us marshals were sent to scare a woman into not testifying
True
It will also be stupider than anything you could predict
This. A thousand times this.
I mean I called the upcoming depression back on election day. I called the economic slump of his last presidency too. Most of it is totally predictable if you just understand that he doesn't understand how anything works and is going to be the bigoted dictator he said he'd be.
Seriously ‼️‼️
Oh, don't forget the second principle of trumpism: "it will happen faster than you expected"
This. Absolutely. It's predictable but holy hell it's happening at twice the speed
That’s my first thought rolling out of bed. Consistently followed by an audible, “fuck” Trump did this. 🤬
That's the only reliable thing about this clown show of a regime.
Americans watch so much television yet lack imagination about what is possible here. It’s baffling
I'll give it a go. Global nuclear war without even the slightest warning.
I don't know. I find that the premise "what would Putin do" in any given situation gets me pretty close. And "what's the WORST possible way to react to _____" tends to be in the ballpark.
Take the stupidest idea you can think of. Run it through chatGPT. Then have your pre-teen phone-addicted teenager re explain it.
