Pam Bondi going on about how the dow is over 50k in the middle of the Epstein trail felt like the scene in the Truman show where Truman's wife suddenly started doing an ad
And then when people laughed at her she doubles down and accuses people of having Trump derangement syndrome. Can’t make this up. And then for Pam bondi to not even look at any of the victims. Despicable.
@koolkiller35 what would you expect from a person that have to morally justify their actions constatly to not get depression from what they are actually involved in. They want money, they want power, they just need to find excuses to continue their service
@unclientrandom5371 you are Canadian, you can literally vote if someone else just vouches for you. Or you have a letter from a food bank and a cheque. In America you need to REGISTER TO VOTE WITH YOUR SSN IN EVERY STATE.
I just got told my $1 raise at my shitty line cook job is now only 50 cents because apparently my corporate millionaire bosses need that $70 a month more than I do (I can't afford food)
But have you considered the CEO can use those $70 to buy an extra share, helping drive up your company stock price by 0.000001%, giving it increased leverage for future loans to expand its operations? In 15 short years that half dollar an hour lost might mean an extra spatula in your kitchen!
don't you know that job is for a teenager to work (during school hours) and if YOU want to be paid more you need to find a job with higher pay (that wont even look at your resume).
It's okay brother, it'll trickle down eventually. And if you keep working hard and making sacrifices, your boss can buy another vacation home for his second family.
8:24 Ayyyy! My parents do the same thing! 😂 "Look how much our portfolio is up! Your inheritance went up! I don't know why you criticize Trump so much, he is strengthening the economy." Great guys, and I have been working so much and am so exhausted I fell asleep at the wheel and drove off the highway the other day, but its cool, I saved it, so like no harm no foul or whatever. Glad both our lives are going so well.
Most retired boomers are cheering at how much money they're making while not noticing they're own children are beginning to be unable to afford food unless they work 3 jobs.
Luckily for me my entire family is anti trump and while my father is conservative (European style conservative) we both acknowledge that the economy will get worse from his presidency. The fact we are a part of the one percent and have a large amount of stock in some of the mag 7 and ai had meant we are in a safe position for now but we know this can only end badly.
Its stories like this that show how brain damaged boomers are. Any other generation would jump at the opportunity to help their kids in any way they can , meanwhile they rely on a vague idea of 'inheritance' that their kids will only get in their 40s or 50s after the nursing home the boomers spend their last 5 years in takes its half.
My uncle graduated from both Columbia and Harvard and has over 20 years experience in architecture but has been struggling for the past 5-6 months for a job
I just got out of welding school and it’s so hard to get a job man. I swear I’m applying everywhere and I have the skills and work ethic but no results yet. My friends who went to the same tech college but different programs like culinary and cosmetology with state certifications. Are also struggling, one works at a grocery store and the other works as a Red Robin’s waitress. We’re all 20. Good luck to you and your uncle sincerely.
I'm not in the industry but from what I heard the video game sphere is fcked. Massive layoffs the past _couple years straight_ and something like 70% of people still don't have a job in the industry. I'm on SSDI temporarily and have slowly come to realize that this might be one of the only times in my life I could be called "lucky" since I don't have to deal with any of this fallout.
Regarding the yen. I am from Switzerland and was in Japan for the past 14 days. Instead of getting all the cash beforehand I opted just using Revolut to transfer chf to yen daily because over the course of my vacation the rates went from 1chf 199 yen to 1chf 203 yen. When I went in summer 2025 1chf was 175 yen. The prices didn't increase so basically everything was on a massive discount for me this time. They are so fucked. I talked to some young guys in an Onsen in Yamagata and when the economy came up they looked fucking dejected. They are also bummed they are basically forced to move away from their home town in the country side to a mega city (even though they don't really like the urban lifestyle) just because there are no opportunities outside of those.
Japan has been stagnant for decades to avoid any fall in it's economy.. which only will make this fall worse for the people there. And with how they are going politically by voting in someone Dony likes...I give like 5-10 years for the japanese empire to come back
@great2831 Empires only come back when a country is strong, not when a country’s collapsing. They will more than likely decay into a failed state of irrelevancy and poverty.
Same, I'm in Australia and at the moment basically everyone we know is going there (also the closest place with good skiing). It feels criminally cheap to go (1 AUD is about 105 yen at the moment)
@rondomane Capitalism is just a phase in our evolution as a species, fatalism is stupid. Things change all the time in a universe where no particle is in the same place twice from second to second.
I think Trump thought he could do a Wuhan lab COVID leak on the Epstein file. For those who forgot about the Wuhan lab COVID leak. He was blaming the COVID outbreak on the Wuhan lab to avoid taking accountability for the government's failure to respond. When it turned out that the American government was one of the lab's main funders and that Trump was the one who restarted the payment. The whole story was immediately swept under the rug, and the reaction was not dissimilar to the Epstein file; however, the story fizzled out, unlike the Epstein file.
It's kinda understandable it got swept under the rug, many people were burnt out just living day to day and sometimes living in traumatic hellscapes (i.e. where COVID outbreaks were high as well as the death toll.) That's when I started seriously cutting myself off from the news unless I was A) in a stable headspace and B) actually wanted to read up on the news because I was constantly spiraling everyday. I saw a bit about the Wuhan lab but didn't dig into it because at that point in time why tf would I care? Knowing how it started wouldn't change anything.
@PointsofData i feel like if the average person knew trump was basically responsible for all the deaths tied to covid, then some things would be different. i could be wrong tho
@sarahdidntwantthischannel6071if you ask Hasan that question right now he'd answer the same thing as atrioc. His problem is that shit libs are already solidifying Gavin as the dem candidate and not looking for anyone better.
i don't think AOC has enough national appeal to be democrat elect, but the funniest way this country could collapse would be because DJT refuses to let a woman be president 3 times.
Related: "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” - Isaac Asimov
@TheBazan By being mr "nothing ever happens" people try to sound smart rather than risk any kind of prediction which may be wrong. But that ultimately makes their input on any situation worthless.
I want to remain positive, and at the very least my "improvements" from 2023 involve me trying not to spread doomerism everywhere because it doesn't really help ( I just stick to relationship comment sections lol). But at the same time, the last year has made it really hard, dude. This video here really just encapsulated so much going on, and even so much going on under my nose (like the fact Japan's new plans involve militarizing again and blowing up their economy to do so). To hear all that and then hear towards the end "I think there's shit you can do...there's always ways to make the best of a situation"... that either takes some incredible resilience or incredible privileged and shielding from the world (even if you empathize with those stuck in the chaos). I basically am that story of the "meta layoff who can't find comparable work". You go through your career and build your resume to be stronger and stronger... then one day you have a job search worse than back when you were graduating college and hoping anyone would respond to your resume of 0 YOE and maybe a few class projects? How does that not crack you a bit? I wouldn't call myself "resilient", but I also feel I can still overcome all this (mostly becaue my family and support network won't let me fall that easily), and pivoted long term to ways to not get back in this trap. So I'll be fine. I don't blame others at all with less support that simply call it quits over all this.
God people are so dramatic, I mean who cares if he's part of the biggest PDF organization in the history of mankind, who cares if he created his own Gestapo and concentration camps and is murdering Americans in the streets, who cares if he is taking billions in bribes and manipulating the markets, we must support this man and go buy some hats and shirts and shoes and a phone from him. 😂
@Gyaat_Ohio As a person living in the EU I gotta say that the american election "debates" were literally just reality tv to most of us. It was so unrealistically silly and stupid that me and friends of mine thought there's no way people actually vote for these clowns but alas
Bro the S&P 500 just hit an all time record, surely you have plenty of extra cash every month and you’ve been putting it in your retirement for the last 30 years and are ready to liquidate immediately, right?
The average voter literally does not know the difference between bad and worse because it doesn't directly affect them in the short term. That's why the 100-or-so-odd consultants that work on the campaign (not to mention the candidate) should be browbeaten and scolded into adopting more popular platforms. Instead of trying to scold millions of people for not voting or voting against your preference. People vote third party, or against their interests, or not at all for a reason. You need to give them a reason to do otherwise. The most economic way to do that is to convince those 100 people, who hold all the power and money, and not 10 million random voters.
I appreciate you emphasizing that "bad is better than worse." I've argued with friends who are more ideologically focused about why sometimes you just have to vote defensively. "Not voting" just cedes the fight to the opposition.
to some extent yes but you have to have some moral boundary, like if both are zionist status quo defenders then in the long run voting for one over the other will still end up being negative
Which is why I said "sometimes." Primaries are the best time to influence a candidate. Once that candidate is selected, getting someone who is at least partially aligned with your values is a lot better than having someone who opposes it. Look at what has happened with Trump in office right now: USAID is gone, we have brownshirts/gestapo terrorizing people, and the EPA just decided it no longer has to care about CO2 emissions. I teach, and some of my students have had family members abducted by ICE and almost got picked up. I'd rather have milquetoast Harris or Newsom than see my kiddos suffer, but that's just me.
Biden gave us Lina Khan in the FTC and the first legitimate attempt to regulate big business in a long time. Trump gave us three SCOTUS justices who are bought and paid for by The Federalist Society, a gutted FTC and EPA, and masked thugs with carte blanche to terrorize people in the streets. When you've got two bad choices, sometimes you have to run through the pros and cons, weigh the risks, and go with which is going to do the least amount of harm. Then you move onto the other forms of political action you can take (volunteering, protesting, petition-signing, and running for office yourself). The US is governed by the People, which mean People need to participate beyond just choosing a President every 4 years.
@TheBazan I think I just don't really understand this position because it implies that Kamala Harris and Trump would result in equal outcomes as a president. Is that what you believe?
How the hell is it not a massive scandal that Gallop is sued into silence by trump. Rather than putting a positive spin on it, it should be considered a complete travesty.....
@MrWhiteKniightis it? Clinton wanted to do a shit ton of green spending. It’s just comrade Sanders wanted Trump because he loved China and would kill the TPP.
My parents were out of touch. They don't have internets, google search, they might have served WWII but perhaps thats why they are stuck there. Now that my home don't have TV, they are cleverer now, since they discuss information with a more diverse set of people (e.g. friends, neighbours, someone in the supermarket), they aren't programmed anymore, they think as they socialise.
Running Gavin Newsom like that chatter asked might be the only actual way for the Democratic party to fumble the presidency again. I live in probably the bluest state in the union and even here people don't want to be like California.
@NickMagnus-g9k Yep, because if there's one person who's going to fix the problems with government, corporate lobbying, and PACs destroying our country bit by bit... It's a billionaire.
To steelman the anti-Newsom argument in a length likely inappropriate for a RUclips comment, I think they understand that Vance is worse than Newsom, but they feel that if they don't protest Newsom they'll show the dems that they can give us any candidate they want as long as they're the lesser evil (and a lesser evil than Trump isn't really any kind of victory)... So by rejecting the lesser evil this one time, they may force the dems to consider putting forth a more progressive candidate to energize the base even if it goes against their corporate clients. And implicit in THAT motivation is the idea that Vance won't have anything like the mandate Trump currently has, and will be evil but ineffective. Now would the dems ever actually float anyone more progressive than Newsom? I don't think so - I think capital has gained significant influence on most government decisions (with moments of resistance), and capital will continue to prevent any major changes that would assist with wealth disparity, worker's rights, union formation and power, etc while also getting favorable legislation passed regardless of who's in office or congress or the supreme court. Would Vance be ineffective? I don't know, but at this moment I'm unwilling to take that bet. There are 3 years to go, everything will change and all predictions made right now will probably look silly when the time comes... That said, right now I feel like they're going to float Newsom, he's going to win because the republicans are so unpopular, and we're going to continue in this death spiral where the republicans win and drag us closer to ruin, then the democrats win and either drag us closer to ruin more slowly or just pause the movement while in office. Not to say NOTHING good happens, but... It's hard to ignore the trajectory we've been on for a long time now. Not to mention the current supreme court is unlikely to change for a while, and that's a very significant hurdle to any sort of progressive policy-making given how willing they are to make a mockery of the entire American legal system in front of the public... They've already laid bare what most 'more-partisan-than-average' people have known for a long time: There is no impartial justice system. The difference is that now they don't even seem to feel the need to PRETEND to be impartial - though at least for the time being they DO seem to view the constitution as at least somewhat limiting of their ability to rule however they want.
This is what I had in UK, I usually vote green but I voted Labour because we ABSOLUTELY could not have conservatives again. I don’t like how Labour did this term there are good sides and bad sides but I will vote them again if it’s this vs reform because it’s like you can say it always can be worse. What I worry about is that the next administration in America will have such a damaged country to deal with when they come in they will blame whoever is in for their hardship and not realise they are just picking up the pieces of the 2nd trump administration because I feel like that’s what is giving Reform popularity in the UK right now.
Honestly the guy I'd like the most for pres next is Ro Khanna. I think Gavin and Pete probably have the best shot, but AOC is too inflammatory towards the right to ever win the presidency. What sucks about all these candidates tho, and this is true for pretty much every politician now, is that they all engage in twitter roast battles and constantly "dunk on" the other side like they're middle school tweens. Wish we could go back to a time where politicians at least pretended to respect their opponents and maintained professional decorum.
" AOC is too inflammatory towards the right to ever win the presidency" the president literally raped and possibly ate children. Stop it with this is too inflammatory shit PLEASE. The democrat's have the ability to run a goddamned cieling fan as president next election and have them win. the only way they're losing is if they run a corporatist like Newsom or Hillary. Because if they do, the actual left will vote third party (I will, as will millions of others) and a LOT of run of the mill liberals wont be excited enough to show up. Libs need to stop caving so fucking early. they need to feel like they HAVE to run someone who will push for UBI and healthcare (And trials for everyone involved in Epstein and ICE).
@flxing42 Wasnt the last US elections with proper respect the Obama one? Im not too knowledgable when it comes to that stuff I was fairly young when he was president and im also not american lol
Admitting that you're picking a trash option over and over and over and over and over again simply to avoid an even worse option is completely understandable. But you should never consider that "based" or an "adult choice"
exactly. especially when that binary choice doesnt come with massive public outrage. the epstein files get release, but I dont see mass strikes or mass protests from the american populous. why does it matter if the files are released if the perpetrators are getting away with it?
@PeidosFTW just because the current administration doesnt prosecute doesnt mean all future ones wont either. Obviously if you vote for a man whose in it more times than god is in the Bible hes not going to push for prosecution. Hes one that theyd prosecute. Having the list be public means that you can now vote for someone whose not in there partaking in horrid acts...
@OrcDeveloper future administrations are either republican or democrats. these are both parties which are heavily involved in the epstein pedophilic ring and so it would be against their self interest to prosecute the perpetrators.
I really like that. Chat has a tendency with just regurgitating stuff they hear instead of thinking sometimes. Streamers that go "well...no" even when what's being said coincides with the general viewpoint of the streamer is important.
People discussing Trump and a 3rd term, when the dude is barely being held together by glue, lard and tanning spray Like I understand the real fear is his cabinet but the man himself his party cares about is rapidly approaching the end of his shelf life, for sure
I believe they'll be trying everything. That man may yet become the first Lich for all I know. After listening to the news since 2016, it'd barely lift an eyebrow.
Still baffled how you Americans (not all of you, but the majority) were able to vote him into office TWICE. My European brain simply cant comprehend that. You knew how he did his first term (it was bad), you knew he is a convicted criminal, you knew he had close ties to Epstein in the past and you also knew he will be the oldest president ever if he got elected. Still chose to vote for him AGAIN.
cause the democrat options weren’t good enough at advocating their positions/their policies weren’t good enough. We have to stop only blaming electors, we have to blame the terrible campaigns that hillary and kamala ran (biden also but it was fine cause covid)
What people dont seem to understand is that a Non-Trump government isnt going to fix sh't. Geopolitical thinking is long-term and americans have proven that voting for someone like Trump wasnt just a fluke. With those results and these consequences (which have been laid bare before the voters eyes, before they had to vote!) the US became a fundamentally untrustworthy and instable partner for any long term cooperations. I honestly dont see this change for at least a decade with visible cultural relaxation of all the ideological radical infighting or a fundamental dismantling and rebuilding of the political system to prevent future borderline failures of the checks and balances and a system that consists of more than two parties.
I mean you say that but I could see a situation where a new government rapidly repairs relationships with other countries, if there's an outside enemy to unite against. I think there's a possibility that the world might rally around the US, but you're right medium-term scenarios look rough
I think most of the world understands that Trump is a one-off psycho. most of the world itself is having its own isolationist, conservative push, so I dont think they care or want relations with the United States anyway, and such relations would be unpopular. I think this is just apart of a larger trend of the US no longer being the separate city upon a hill; we have to deal with the same economic forces that are impacting Europe, and because we aren't safe from them for one of the few times in our history, we're doing poorly, and people don't really want relations with us.
@bollorice7177as a European I can tell you that we will not rally with you..those times are gone now..I’m not saying we couldn’t or deep down wouldn’t want to - we just can’t, this is not just political, this is social and economic: we have been rallying around you, for 70 YEARS, during the Cold War, sure our interests were aligned, but we went to Afghanistan for you, we went to Iraq for you, we overlooked when snowden told us you were illegally spying on our governments, businesses and people, we looked away when your companies were avoiding taxes and when we became increasingly dependent on US tech giants who would have been fined out of existence for privacy violations here…we were friends after all, we shared common values But people have started to question what that dependence has gotten us- threats, insults and extortion We are diversifying away from the US, no political shift will change that: questions you have to answer: what is a persons life worth/ what about the dignity of a person, what is ur stance on international laws, what direction will US tech go into - this future the pedophilic cabal has outlined where AI does all the jobs and money accrues to the owners is not one we want to follow, can you be trusted on defense issues long-term? Can you be relied upon at all? How will you deal long term with the loss of US global power…before you can lead or be rallied around you need answers to these questions..you need to know WHERE you want to lead ur allies before you can lead them against some ‘enemy’ - like before on some nostalgia basis is not a sufficient direction, its not a direction that’s available
@eumari_d0g Millions of people voted for him and his bootlickers, dozens enable him and his mental diahreea in their official positions, while taking dive-training so deep inside of his arse that Saudi princes get jealous over it and the US checks and balances utterly failed on every conceivable front, while you have militarised groups of untrained thugs terrorising the countries neighborhoods. To even pretend that Trump is a one-off is in the best case delusional and in the worst outright psychotic. And yes, other countries (sadly not just european) have currently similar issues with unedjucated masses that are voting for radical parties that play snake-oil salesmen.
The democrats never have to try to offer any improvements on the status quo because they know a lot of people will just vote for them based on damage reduction due to being marginally better than the republicans, we need to start demanding more from our representatives instead of just voting for another neoliberal corporate hack, otherwise they will never learn. If we keep choosing candidates like hillary, biden or kamala (or a hypothetical newsom in 2028) that constantly offers concessions to right wing ideas and caters to the billionaire class people like trump will continue to rise to power
yall, if we dont vote for the nice evil then we will get the mean evil doesn't that mean we're voting for evil? yeah but like, you have to. voting for evil will makes things better. is that what evil wants you to think?
>voting for evil will make things better Yes, because Biden, Obama, and Clinton all made things better than their predecessors and didn't have a hand in this at all
Stop saying you will vote for bad, because we will always get worse. We voted for Biden in 2020 to stop trump 1. What did that get us? Trump 2. It's a totally ineffective strategy.
The thing that Japan and the greater commentary seems to miss about Japan militarizing is we just straight don’t have the population. There aren’t enough able bodied men for regular industries let alone a military boom on top. Sending what few men they have left off to die somewhere will literally kill Japan.
Atrioc, what are your thoughts on Andy Beshear out of Kentucky? My mom has lived in KY for years and she has absolutely loved how he’s helped make Kentucky more progressive than previous GOV’s While no politician is perfect, he feels like to me the perfect kind of candidate since he’s been more of a politician for the people than many other politicians in our government.
Please don't say this shit bro, Dems need to motivate non voters to come out. And if they do the moderate strategy still since you are always willing to vote they will never change. And you act like it is two choices, but technically if you are politically aligned with one side your only choice is to vote or not to vote for your candidate. Last election many Democrats chose to not vote, not choose the worse choice.
It's unironically good that Hasan answered the way he did, not because I agree with him but because it unintentionally forced this conversation now. This is exactly when we should talk about that. I agree with Atrioc, locking in with the Dem. Though I hope its not Newsom because he hits all the boxes of just going back to 2020 era politics
im with hasan. i stick with my principles. not voting for some corporate stooge just because they dressed in blue. neoliberalism brought about Trump, they are not our savior from him. but like hasan i live in california so my presidential vote matters literally zero. voting third party does nothing in a blue/red state. i have that freedom.
@TonySmith79 Neolib policies is what got us the camps. I don't see how they would get rid of them if only until the next more competent fascist comes in
@TonySmith79 You guys are really loose with the whole “camps” thing, you do realize millions were systematically executed at those camps? Whether you agree with it or not, thats not what’s happening here.
@xEnder515 Realistically you can vote between the party with goon squads shooting people in the streets, putting people in camps without due process, rapidly erasing civil rights for you and your fellow countrymen OR the guys not quite left enough for you. If that math is hard for you or you are willing to gamble another 4 years of this, you are either incredibly privileged to not feel any of the consequences this would have or this world is truly completely fucked.
29 days ago+2
I feel like locking in on whoever comes next no matter what is a mistake if they know they have your unconditional support they will only do the bare minimum to stay in power
I get that but please think about the ice victims and all the death and suffering trump caused in the entire world because he stopped usaid and stopped funding cancer vaccines
If Newsom had values or principles I'd consider it. I don't want 4 years of a holding pattern that gives the right and owner/Epstein class time to regroup while demoralizing Dem voters.
Damn, can't believe I was a doomer about Trump, his approval is now cratered and we only have to deal with him for 3 more years. Oh well, we can trust the US public to have learned their lesson and never fall for such obvious lies and vote for an idiot ever again...just like after Bush and Bush and Trump...
I really wish history wasn't so obnoxious about how much it repeats itself. Like we get it dude. This is your gimmick, whatever. Jokes aside, I don't understand how people haven't figured this shit out by now. My best guess is that they're just idiots.
I dont think you understand, the DOW shattered 50k....
😂😂
it's gone back under 50k since then lol
Have you said thank you once?
No man, It's at $50,000 bro
@nerfherder4284is the 50k in the room with us?
Pam Bondi going on about how the dow is over 50k in the middle of the Epstein trail felt like the scene in the Truman show where Truman's wife suddenly started doing an ad
And then when people laughed at her she doubles down and accuses people of having Trump derangement syndrome. Can’t make this up. And then for Pam bondi to not even look at any of the victims. Despicable.
@koolkiller35 what would you expect from a person that have to morally justify their actions constatly to not get depression from what they are actually involved in. They want money, they want power, they just need to find excuses to continue their service
It wasn't a trial
@12crenshaw
Psychopathy doesn't need justification, they simply don't care enough to get depressed for other people.
Oh god somebody please make a clip of that

K
The wealthiest 10% of Americans own 93% of all stocks.
Ever heard artificial and inflated numbers?
only a few more weeks before we stop tracking election votes
Why do you think the gop is trying so hard to rig the election
So thankful for Trump's impressive leadership, and the 107% approval rating really reflects that
You already don't you can vote without official ID in minesota
@unclientrandom5371 you are Canadian, you can literally vote if someone else just vouches for you. Or you have a letter from a food bank and a cheque.
In America you need to REGISTER TO VOTE WITH YOUR SSN IN EVERY STATE.
@pikapownsthat's just false xD.
The DOW so high they stopped tracking presidential approval and started tracking presidential WINS BRO
shit's so cooked we're no longer tracking recession indicators
There is no war in the ba sing se
stopping it after 88 years is so on the nose if it was in a movie, id stop watching
man if this was a movie theyd say the director had the brain of a 5 year old!
I KNEW Dale Earnhardt Jr had something to do with this...
man this movie sucks, change the channel
67 years
It's probably at 14% approval too
I just got told my $1 raise at my shitty line cook job is now only 50 cents because apparently my corporate millionaire bosses need that $70 a month more than I do (I can't afford food)
But have you considered the CEO can use those $70 to buy an extra share, helping drive up your company stock price by 0.000001%, giving it increased leverage for future loans to expand its operations? In 15 short years that half dollar an hour lost might mean an extra spatula in your kitchen!
That’s instead of firing you I guess
don't you know that job is for a teenager to work (during school hours) and if YOU want to be paid more you need to find a job with higher pay (that wont even look at your resume).
You should be thanking Trump for having a job, or you have Trump derangement syndrome
It's okay brother, it'll trickle down eventually. And if you keep working hard and making sacrifices, your boss can buy another vacation home for his second family.
No, no dude you don’t get it, the DOW breached 50k
8:24 Ayyyy! My parents do the same thing! 😂 "Look how much our portfolio is up! Your inheritance went up! I don't know why you criticize Trump so much, he is strengthening the economy." Great guys, and I have been working so much and am so exhausted I fell asleep at the wheel and drove off the highway the other day, but its cool, I saved it, so like no harm no foul or whatever. Glad both our lives are going so well.
Most retired boomers are cheering at how much money they're making while not noticing they're own children are beginning to be unable to afford food unless they work 3 jobs.
Luckily for me my entire family is anti trump and while my father is conservative (European style conservative) we both acknowledge that the economy will get worse from his presidency. The fact we are a part of the one percent and have a large amount of stock in some of the mag 7 and ai had meant we are in a safe position for now but we know this can only end badly.
BIGGER NUMBER BETTER GOVERNMENT 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🦅🦅🤠🤠💥💥
Its stories like this that show how brain damaged boomers are. Any other generation would jump at the opportunity to help their kids in any way they can , meanwhile they rely on a vague idea of 'inheritance' that their kids will only get in their 40s or 50s after the nursing home the boomers spend their last 5 years in takes its half.
by the time you get the inheritance, the USD will be worthless if this keeps up 😭 you'll have like $12 in today's money LOL
My uncle graduated from both Columbia and Harvard and has over 20 years experience in architecture but has been struggling for the past 5-6 months for a job
I just got out of welding school and it’s so hard to get a job man. I swear I’m applying everywhere and I have the skills and work ethic but no results yet. My friends who went to the same tech college but different programs like culinary and cosmetology with state certifications. Are also struggling, one works at a grocery store and the other works as a Red Robin’s waitress. We’re all 20. Good luck to you and your uncle sincerely.
I'm not in the industry but from what I heard the video game sphere is fcked. Massive layoffs the past _couple years straight_ and something like 70% of people still don't have a job in the industry. I'm on SSDI temporarily and have slowly come to realize that this might be one of the only times in my life I could be called "lucky" since I don't have to deal with any of this fallout.
Regarding the yen. I am from Switzerland and was in Japan for the past 14 days. Instead of getting all the cash beforehand I opted just using Revolut to transfer chf to yen daily because over the course of my vacation the rates went from 1chf 199 yen to 1chf 203 yen.
When I went in summer 2025 1chf was 175 yen. The prices didn't increase so basically everything was on a massive discount for me this time.
They are so fucked.
I talked to some young guys in an Onsen in Yamagata and when the economy came up they looked fucking dejected. They are also bummed they are basically forced to move away from their home town in the country side to a mega city (even though they don't really like the urban lifestyle) just because there are no opportunities outside of those.
Japan has been stagnant for decades to avoid any fall in it's economy.. which only will make this fall worse for the people there. And with how they are going politically by voting in someone Dony likes...I give like 5-10 years for the japanese empire to come back
Japan has been fucked for three decades and they will stay fucked for many more
@great2831 Empires only come back when a country is strong, not when a country’s collapsing. They will more than likely decay into a failed state of irrelevancy and poverty.
Same, I'm in Australia and at the moment basically everyone we know is going there (also the closest place with good skiing). It feels criminally cheap to go (1 AUD is about 105 yen at the moment)
@team3am149 yeah most likely, but I was referring more to how their culture and society was during the empire
a better world is possible...
no, its not. capitalism is possible. this is your fate.
@rondomanewhen you have an attitude as sour as spoiled milk then yeah, that’s our only option
@iceyslush9201 if another world was possible we would have tried to make it happen. But instead we voted for the same uniparty again.
@rondomanetouch grass
@rondomane Capitalism is just a phase in our evolution as a species, fatalism is stupid. Things change all the time in a universe where no particle is in the same place twice from second to second.
The only way to make sure that change never happens is to convince everyone that it is not possible...
I think Trump thought he could do a Wuhan lab COVID leak on the Epstein file. For those who forgot about the Wuhan lab COVID leak. He was blaming the COVID outbreak on the Wuhan lab to avoid taking accountability for the government's failure to respond. When it turned out that the American government was one of the lab's main funders and that Trump was the one who restarted the payment. The whole story was immediately swept under the rug, and the reaction was not dissimilar to the Epstein file; however, the story fizzled out, unlike the Epstein file.
Trump also dismantled the pandemic response team started by Obama. Its like he planned for Covid to be a thing.
@TonySmith79 He needed Pestilence for his Revelations Any% speedrun.
@tornadoawe 🤣
It's kinda understandable it got swept under the rug, many people were burnt out just living day to day and sometimes living in traumatic hellscapes (i.e. where COVID outbreaks were high as well as the death toll.) That's when I started seriously cutting myself off from the news unless I was A) in a stable headspace and B) actually wanted to read up on the news because I was constantly spiraling everyday. I saw a bit about the Wuhan lab but didn't dig into it because at that point in time why tf would I care? Knowing how it started wouldn't change anything.
@PointsofData i feel like if the average person knew trump was basically responsible for all the deaths tied to covid, then some things would be different. i could be wrong tho

I love how the chatter asked the same question hasan got in hot water for his shit answer for and atrioc answered perfectly
@sarahdidntwantthischannel6071if you ask Hasan that question right now he'd answer the same thing as atrioc. His problem is that shit libs are already solidifying Gavin as the dem candidate and not looking for anyone better.
i don't think AOC has enough national appeal to be democrat elect, but the funniest way this country could collapse would be because DJT refuses to let a woman be president 3 times.
I don't think there was a sexist element involved in it. Personally, I would want Pritzker or Beshear to be the nominee
Somehow people thought being cynical is the same as being intelligent and the world has gotten worse because of that.
wdym by cynical here?

@TheBazan being a "doomer". Being sure that there is no future prospects for you, assuming nothing you do matters, etc.
@TheBazan By being mr "nothing ever happens" people try to sound smart rather than risk any kind of prediction which may be wrong. But that ultimately makes their input on any situation worthless.
I want to remain positive, and at the very least my "improvements" from 2023 involve me trying not to spread doomerism everywhere because it doesn't really help ( I just stick to relationship comment sections lol).
But at the same time, the last year has made it really hard, dude. This video here really just encapsulated so much going on, and even so much going on under my nose (like the fact Japan's new plans involve militarizing again and blowing up their economy to do so). To hear all that and then hear towards the end "I think there's shit you can do...there's always ways to make the best of a situation"... that either takes some incredible resilience or incredible privileged and shielding from the world (even if you empathize with those stuck in the chaos).
I basically am that story of the "meta layoff who can't find comparable work". You go through your career and build your resume to be stronger and stronger... then one day you have a job search worse than back when you were graduating college and hoping anyone would respond to your resume of 0 YOE and maybe a few class projects? How does that not crack you a bit?
I wouldn't call myself "resilient", but I also feel I can still overcome all this (mostly becaue my family and support network won't let me fall that easily), and pivoted long term to ways to not get back in this trap. So I'll be fine. I don't blame others at all with less support that simply call it quits over all this.
This whole government is redacted

God people are so dramatic, I mean who cares if he's part of the biggest PDF organization in the history of mankind, who cares if he created his own Gestapo and concentration camps and is murdering Americans in the streets, who cares if he is taking billions in bribes and manipulating the markets, we must support this man and go buy some hats and shirts and shoes and a phone from him. 😂

The short you posted earlier didn't say why Gallup was no longer doing approval tracking, so I'm glad to find out now
Very well said and only sane way to see at this stuff honestly
The average voter literally does not know the difference between bad and worse because it doesn't directly affect them in the short term. That's why the 100-or-so-odd consultants that work on the campaign (not to mention the candidate) should be browbeaten and scolded into adopting more popular platforms. Instead of trying to scold millions of people for not voting or voting against your preference. People vote third party, or against their interests, or not at all for a reason. You need to give them a reason to do otherwise. The most economic way to do that is to convince those 100 people, who hold all the power and money, and not 10 million random voters.
Having the choice of A, or the choice of B, isn't much of an adult choice tbh.
"Ya a good boy, wanna blue lollipop or a red lollipop?"
I appreciate you emphasizing that "bad is better than worse." I've argued with friends who are more ideologically focused about why sometimes you just have to vote defensively. "Not voting" just cedes the fight to the opposition.
to some extent yes but you have to have some moral boundary, like if both are zionist status quo defenders then in the long run voting for one over the other will still end up being negative
Voting that way everytime while not working towards changing anything means you just accept bad forever.
Which is why I said "sometimes." Primaries are the best time to influence a candidate. Once that candidate is selected, getting someone who is at least partially aligned with your values is a lot better than having someone who opposes it. Look at what has happened with Trump in office right now: USAID is gone, we have brownshirts/gestapo terrorizing people, and the EPA just decided it no longer has to care about CO2 emissions. I teach, and some of my students have had family members abducted by ICE and almost got picked up. I'd rather have milquetoast Harris or Newsom than see my kiddos suffer, but that's just me.
Biden gave us Lina Khan in the FTC and the first legitimate attempt to regulate big business in a long time. Trump gave us three SCOTUS justices who are bought and paid for by The Federalist Society, a gutted FTC and EPA, and masked thugs with carte blanche to terrorize people in the streets. When you've got two bad choices, sometimes you have to run through the pros and cons, weigh the risks, and go with which is going to do the least amount of harm. Then you move onto the other forms of political action you can take (volunteering, protesting, petition-signing, and running for office yourself). The US is governed by the People, which mean People need to participate beyond just choosing a President every 4 years.
@TheBazan I think I just don't really understand this position because it implies that Kamala Harris and Trump would result in equal outcomes as a president. Is that what you believe?
yea society's gonna collapse
How the hell is it not a massive scandal that Gallop is sued into silence by trump. Rather than putting a positive spin on it, it should be considered a complete travesty.....
I would literally vote for a Turd Sandwich to get the Republican party out of the Oval Office.

@nhjhbmkuy7173 You have the political understanding of a goldfish. Trump won because Clinton and Biden were both INSANELY UNPOPULAR
We did that last time, the turd sandwich ended their admin with 30% approval rating and Trump beat it and got reelected.

Now that my home don't have TV, they are cleverer now, since they discuss information with a more diverse set of people (e.g. friends, neighbours, someone in the supermarket), they aren't programmed anymore, they think as they socialise.

Running Gavin Newsom like that chatter asked might be the only actual way for the Democratic party to fumble the presidency again.

I live in Cali myself and people here don't like him either lol

@NickMagnus-g9k I think it might be better if we take a step back from letting businessmen run the country for a decade or two…
Greek yogurt is $7/32oz now.
To steelman the anti-Newsom argument in a length likely inappropriate for a RUclips comment, I think they understand that Vance is worse than Newsom, but they feel that if they don't protest Newsom they'll show the dems that they can give us any candidate they want as long as they're the lesser evil (and a lesser evil than Trump isn't really any kind of victory)... So by rejecting the lesser evil this one time, they may force the dems to consider putting forth a more progressive candidate to energize the base even if it goes against their corporate clients. And implicit in THAT motivation is the idea that Vance won't have anything like the mandate Trump currently has, and will be evil but ineffective.
Now would the dems ever actually float anyone more progressive than Newsom? I don't think so - I think capital has gained significant influence on most government decisions (with moments of resistance), and capital will continue to prevent any major changes that would assist with wealth disparity, worker's rights, union formation and power, etc while also getting favorable legislation passed regardless of who's in office or congress or the supreme court. Would Vance be ineffective? I don't know, but at this moment I'm unwilling to take that bet.
There are 3 years to go, everything will change and all predictions made right now will probably look silly when the time comes... That said, right now I feel like they're going to float Newsom, he's going to win because the republicans are so unpopular, and we're going to continue in this death spiral where the republicans win and drag us closer to ruin, then the democrats win and either drag us closer to ruin more slowly or just pause the movement while in office.
Not to say NOTHING good happens, but... It's hard to ignore the trajectory we've been on for a long time now. Not to mention the current supreme court is unlikely to change for a while, and that's a very significant hurdle to any sort of progressive policy-making given how willing they are to make a mockery of the entire American legal system in front of the public... They've already laid bare what most 'more-partisan-than-average' people have known for a long time: There is no impartial justice system. The difference is that now they don't even seem to feel the need to PRETEND to be impartial - though at least for the time being they DO seem to view the constitution as at least somewhat limiting of their ability to rule however they want.
You're right! Think of everyone charged!

This is what I had in UK, I usually vote green but I voted Labour because we ABSOLUTELY could not have conservatives again. I don’t like how Labour did this term there are good sides and bad sides but I will vote them again if it’s this vs reform because it’s like you can say it always can be worse. What I worry about is that the next administration in America will have such a damaged country to deal with when they come in they will blame whoever is in for their hardship and not realise they are just picking up the pieces of the 2nd trump administration because I feel like that’s what is giving Reform popularity in the UK right now.
BUT 50 THOUSAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The voter act that just passed in the house makes the midterms look very very concerning

Ready for another round my friends?
Honestly the guy I'd like the most for pres next is Ro Khanna. I think Gavin and Pete probably have the best shot, but AOC is too inflammatory towards the right to ever win the presidency. What sucks about all these candidates tho, and this is true for pretty much every politician now, is that they all engage in twitter roast battles and constantly "dunk on" the other side like they're middle school tweens. Wish we could go back to a time where politicians at least pretended to respect their opponents and maintained professional decorum.
" AOC is too inflammatory towards the right to ever win the presidency" the president literally raped and possibly ate children. Stop it with this is too inflammatory shit PLEASE. The democrat's have the ability to run a goddamned cieling fan as president next election and have them win. the only way they're losing is if they run a corporatist like Newsom or Hillary.
Because if they do, the actual left will vote third party (I will, as will millions of others) and a LOT of run of the mill liberals wont be excited enough to show up.
Libs need to stop caving so fucking early.
they need to feel like they HAVE to run someone who will push for UBI and healthcare (And trials for everyone involved in Epstein and ICE).
After what they've done, being inflammatory towards the right is the least we should do.
@jmanners unfortunately we still need those votes lol, which means a candidate that appeals to both sides
@flxing42 Wasnt the last US elections with proper respect the Obama one? Im not too knowledgable when it comes to that stuff I was fairly young when he was president and im also not american lol
Why does this guy predict everything it’s like he drinks a lot of coffee
Admitting that you're picking a trash option over and over and over and over and over again simply to avoid an even worse option is completely understandable. But you should never consider that "based" or an "adult choice"
exactly. especially when that binary choice doesnt come with massive public outrage. the epstein files get release, but I dont see mass strikes or mass protests from the american populous. why does it matter if the files are released if the perpetrators are getting away with it?
it is definitely the adult choice, that's just reality.
@eumari_d0gwe dont typically consider the short term benefit option to be the "adult" one. That is clearly the kid option
@PeidosFTW just because the current administration doesnt prosecute doesnt mean all future ones wont either. Obviously if you vote for a man whose in it more times than god is in the Bible hes not going to push for prosecution. Hes one that theyd prosecute.
Having the list be public means that you can now vote for someone whose not in there partaking in horrid acts...
@OrcDeveloper future administrations are either republican or democrats. these are both parties which are heavily involved in the epstein pedophilic ring and so it would be against their self interest to prosecute the perpetrators.
lol this was in my feed within seconds
I love how every video begins with atrioc disagreeing with his chat
I really like that. Chat has a tendency with just regurgitating stuff they hear instead of thinking sometimes. Streamers that go "well...no" even when what's being said coincides with the general viewpoint of the streamer is important.
You worry too much, you know, you gonna have a heart attack.
If I have to make a decision between bad and worse I'm not participating.
People discussing Trump and a 3rd term, when the dude is barely being held together by glue, lard and tanning spray
Like I understand the real fear is his cabinet but the man himself his party cares about is rapidly approaching the end of his shelf life, for sure
I believe they'll be trying everything. That man may yet become the first Lich for all I know. After listening to the news since 2016, it'd barely lift an eyebrow.
As a Mexican, USD’s in the gutter. it’s at 17 pesos, a year ago it was at over 20.
Arizona resident here, and I can attest to how things are going. My mom lost her job and my dad had to get a new one before he got fired.
Still baffled how you Americans (not all of you, but the majority) were able to vote him into office TWICE. My European brain simply cant comprehend that. You knew how he did his first term (it was bad), you knew he is a convicted criminal, you knew he had close ties to Epstein in the past and you also knew he will be the oldest president ever if he got elected. Still chose to vote for him AGAIN.
me neither man
I mean shit for all of us that voted against him TWICE are still shocked by it
common two party system L baby
cause the democrat options weren’t good enough at advocating their positions/their policies weren’t good enough. We have to stop only blaming electors, we have to blame the terrible campaigns that hillary and kamala ran (biden also but it was fine cause covid)
Proof that someone like trump can be voted in again if he spreads enough hate and lies that he will bring prices down. Americans never learn
I am with you man! This is the way!
What people dont seem to understand is that a Non-Trump government isnt going to fix sh't. Geopolitical thinking is long-term and americans have proven that voting for someone like Trump wasnt just a fluke.
With those results and these consequences (which have been laid bare before the voters eyes, before they had to vote!) the US became a fundamentally untrustworthy and instable partner for any long term cooperations.
I honestly dont see this change for at least a decade with visible cultural relaxation of all the ideological radical infighting or a fundamental dismantling and rebuilding of the political system to prevent future borderline failures of the checks and balances and a system that consists of more than two parties.
I mean you say that but I could see a situation where a new government rapidly repairs relationships with other countries, if there's an outside enemy to unite against. I think there's a possibility that the world might rally around the US, but you're right medium-term scenarios look rough
I think most of the world understands that Trump is a one-off psycho. most of the world itself is having its own isolationist, conservative push, so I dont think they care or want relations with the United States anyway, and such relations would be unpopular. I think this is just apart of a larger trend of the US no longer being the separate city upon a hill; we have to deal with the same economic forces that are impacting Europe, and because we aren't safe from them for one of the few times in our history, we're doing poorly, and people don't really want relations with us.
@bollorice7177the enemy is the US little bro. Here in South América we are besties with China against the US
@bollorice7177as a European I can tell you that we will not rally with you..those times are gone now..I’m not saying we couldn’t or deep down wouldn’t want to - we just can’t, this is not just political, this is social and economic: we have been rallying around you, for 70 YEARS, during the Cold War, sure our interests were aligned, but we went to Afghanistan for you, we went to Iraq for you, we overlooked when snowden told us you were illegally spying on our governments, businesses and people, we looked away when your companies were avoiding taxes and when we became increasingly dependent on US tech giants who would have been fined out of existence for privacy violations here…we were friends after all, we shared common values
But people have started to question what that dependence has gotten us- threats, insults and extortion
We are diversifying away from the US, no political shift will change that: questions you have to answer: what is a persons life worth/ what about the dignity of a person, what is ur stance on international laws, what direction will US tech go into - this future the pedophilic cabal has outlined where AI does all the jobs and money accrues to the owners is not one we want to follow, can you be trusted on defense issues long-term? Can you be relied upon at all? How will you deal long term with the loss of US global power…before you can lead or be rallied around you need answers to these questions..you need to know WHERE you want to lead ur allies before you can lead them against some ‘enemy’ - like before on some nostalgia basis is not a sufficient direction, its not a direction that’s available
@eumari_d0g Millions of people voted for him and his bootlickers, dozens enable him and his mental diahreea in their official positions, while taking dive-training so deep inside of his arse that Saudi princes get jealous over it and the US checks and balances utterly failed on every conceivable front, while you have militarised groups of untrained thugs terrorising the countries neighborhoods.
To even pretend that Trump is a one-off is in the best case delusional and in the worst outright psychotic.
And yes, other countries (sadly not just european) have currently similar issues with unedjucated masses that are voting for radical parties that play snake-oil salesmen.
Generational refresh pull
The democrats never have to try to offer any improvements on the status quo because they know a lot of people will just vote for them based on damage reduction due to being marginally better than the republicans, we need to start demanding more from our representatives instead of just voting for another neoliberal corporate hack, otherwise they will never learn. If we keep choosing candidates like hillary, biden or kamala (or a hypothetical newsom in 2028) that constantly offers concessions to right wing ideas and caters to the billionaire class people like trump will continue to rise to power
This should be the indicator of a dictatorship starting to form.
yall, if we dont vote for the nice evil then we will get the mean evil
doesn't that mean we're voting for evil?
yeah but like, you have to. voting for evil will makes things better.
is that what evil wants you to think?
>voting for evil will make things better
Yes, because Biden, Obama, and Clinton all made things better than their predecessors and didn't have a hand in this at all

Obligatory Recession Indicator Comment.
You know it's crazy in 40+ years there will be animes about Japan's current economic state
Stop saying you will vote for bad, because we will always get worse. We voted for Biden in 2020 to stop trump 1. What did that get us? Trump 2. It's a totally ineffective strategy.
oh how the turns have tabled for Atrioc
"You should be thanking him!"
Recession indicator.
Fascism depression indicator
I'm glad to hear some optimism. I agree that we should be pretty psyched about the progress that has been made so far.
The thing that Japan and the greater commentary seems to miss about Japan militarizing is we just straight don’t have the population. There aren’t enough able bodied men for regular industries let alone a military boom on top. Sending what few men they have left off to die somewhere will literally kill Japan.
Atrioc, what are your thoughts on Andy Beshear out of Kentucky?
My mom has lived in KY for years and she has absolutely loved how he’s helped make Kentucky more progressive than previous GOV’s
While no politician is perfect, he feels like to me the perfect kind of candidate since he’s been more of a politician for the people than many other politicians in our government.
Please don't say this shit bro, Dems need to motivate non voters to come out. And if they do the moderate strategy still since you are always willing to vote they will never change. And you act like it is two choices, but technically if you are politically aligned with one side your only choice is to vote or not to vote for your candidate. Last election many Democrats chose to not vote, not choose the worse choice.
I can confirm you are right. I am getting angrier and angrier
What a solid start to my toilet break
Late night shitter alert.
you have to let go of the illusion of control
It's unironically good that Hasan answered the way he did, not because I agree with him but because it unintentionally forced this conversation now. This is exactly when we should talk about that.
I agree with Atrioc, locking in with the Dem. Though I hope its not Newsom because he hits all the boxes of just going back to 2020 era politics
im with hasan. i stick with my principles. not voting for some corporate stooge just because they dressed in blue. neoliberalism brought about Trump, they are not our savior from him.
but like hasan i live in california so my presidential vote matters literally zero. voting third party does nothing in a blue/red state. i have that freedom.
@xEnder515 if voting dem shut downs these camps i'm going for it.
@TonySmith79
Neolib policies is what got us the camps. I don't see how they would get rid of them if only until the next more competent fascist comes in
@TonySmith79 You guys are really loose with the whole “camps” thing, you do realize millions were systematically executed at those camps? Whether you agree with it or not, thats not what’s happening here.
@xEnder515 Realistically you can vote between the party with goon squads shooting people in the streets, putting people in camps without due process, rapidly erasing civil rights for you and your fellow countrymen OR the guys not quite left enough for you. If that math is hard for you or you are willing to gamble another 4 years of this, you are either incredibly privileged to not feel any of the consequences this would have or this world is truly completely fucked.
I feel like locking in on whoever comes next no matter what is a mistake if they know they have your unconditional support they will only do the bare minimum to stay in power
If Newsom in real life was like his Twitter account then I would vote for him, but he’s not who the country needs right now.
Newsome wants it badly but doesn’t understand the moment. God bless whoever runs his Twitter
I get that but please think about the ice victims and all the death and suffering trump caused in the entire world because he stopped usaid and stopped funding cancer vaccines
If Newsom had values or principles I'd consider it. I don't want 4 years of a holding pattern that gives the right and owner/Epstein class time to regroup while demoralizing Dem voters.
Massie/Khanna is the only ticket that’ll give iur country a chance at survival.
@jlp6864I mean that’s what the primary is for. People are acting like it’s newsome or Vance and it’s still 2026.
This is going to be a cool election
Damn, can't believe I was a doomer about Trump, his approval is now cratered and we only have to deal with him for 3 more years. Oh well, we can trust the US public to have learned their lesson and never fall for such obvious lies and vote for an idiot ever again...just like after Bush and Bush and Trump...
I really wish history wasn't so obnoxious about how much it repeats itself. Like we get it dude. This is your gimmick, whatever.
Jokes aside, I don't understand how people haven't figured this shit out by now. My best guess is that they're just idiots.
@niteslashryour guess is correct. People are legitimately too stupid for democracy
