40%. Of the whole economy. The AI crash is going to make 2008 look like an adorable little economic speedbump

"The hundreds of billions of dollars companies are investing in AI now account for an astonishing 40 per cent share of US GDP growth this year... In a way, then, America has become one big bet on AI."

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it.

Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

One of many reasons Trump will never win New York. I don't care how many times he runs like Putin to be president for life. New Yorkers hate him, legitimately. www.cbsnews.com/news/governm...

Umm... Trump said that Boeing is naming their new fighter jet the F47 (f-cking suckups) and said he's proud of being the 45th, 46th and 47th president... this utter moron seems to really think he was the real president during Joe Biden's whole term. God help us. We're doomed.

Now he's talking about how much he loves tariffs, saying "it's my favorite word in the English dictionary ... tariff." Listening to this is like talking to my 92 year old godmother on the phone. He just goes back to his favorite stories and ramble breathlessly.

Joy-Ann Reid @joyannreid.bsky.social · 7d

Christ Allmighty ... he's banging on about paper quality and gold pens and how much he loves his signature. And Biden and the autopen. What a fucking lunatic. I feel so sorry for these men and women having to sit there and listen to this drivel.

Facts. And it's frankly getting old

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse @whitehouse.senate.gov · 7d

“Health care for illegal aliens” is the new “immigrants are eating cats and dogs in Springfield.”

The Republican playbook is simple: make up a baseless lie, repeat it every chance you get, hope and pray that everyone blames Democrats for the crises you created.

What you realize when you listen to this mush-brain do his performance is that he literally needs a hooting, cheering, idiot-filled crowd in order to make the shtick work. It just looks pathetic before a silent audience. He practically begged these military leaders to applaud and they were silent.

Joy-Ann Reid @joyannreid.bsky.social · 7d

Fam ... this man is SENILE. He said "we want war because we want ... no wars ..." then he went back into his mental delusion about "settling" all these wars. Now he's back to rigged elections. His mind is just meandering to random places.

Christ Jesus ... I've reached the part where Trump is just rambling away about how great he's made the country, the Gulf of America bullshit ... how people should come look at the White House ... this man is fucking senile.

Joy-Ann Reid @joyannreid.bsky.social · 7d

OMG Trump just walked in and said "I've never seen such a silent room," then essentially urged the audience to hoot and applaud like the undisciplined troops he's spoken in front of before.

He literally name checked Mark Milley ... an actual intellectual and brilliant leader, and negatively compared him to Norman Schwartzkopf, the guy behind the invasion of Kuwait.

TV Whiskey Pete is one of the most embarrassing fools ever to serve in the U.S. government. It's a national humiliation to see this idiot strutting and fidgeting before our nation's top military men and women, every one of whom are his moral and intellectual superior yet required to sit and listen.

He literally said they're going to delete unnamed violations from people's service records. I'm assuming this is about sexual assault and it's terrifying. These lunatics are building a Fourth Reich. The one blessing is how silent the troops were amidst this insane drivel.
