Powell said the spending is unsustainable. No government other than Trump has so far reduced spending, even Reagan never cut spending he just spent Americas pension system replacing it with IOU's.

So given this is there room to ponder whether its extenuating circumstances?

Note: this is OP

No space for bigots

So, op posted a joke that someone else made they knew was in bad taste, but got a chuckle from? That sets a pretty low bar for calling someone a bigot.

Why can't I post my jokes about jews in this community called nazijokes??? Where's the freeze peach??

I know it's nazi stuff but still got a chuckle from it

No quarter for bigotry. OP would have had his post deleted in a properly modded community, so he made his own community, made the post, then stickied it to the top of that community.

I don't care for people who 'get a chuckle' punching down on minorities. Maybe I just have higher standards than you.

Stupidity, or intentional?

Putin stooges expose critical infrastructure, to allow russian hackers access.

“woops”

Hubris. Musk is the kinda guy who thinks a plan is genius simply because it’s unconventional. He’s kinda been proven right so far, because he has never been allowed to fully fail.

He is now on the highest wire he’s ever been on, with no safety net, and no awareness of how often he’s needed one.

blueMAGA when Americans do something bad in America in an American way:

"This is the fault of FOREIGNERS!"

No wonder your country is being taken over by (domestic) fascists.

typical .ml response.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That just makes your American nationalism more embarrassing, not less.

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

nationalism? i don’t think you know what that word means

Blaming all of a country's problems on evil foreigners is definitely related

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And yet American imperialism is to blame for all the world's problems, is it not?

Isn't that tankies' whole deal? Blame America every time something bad happens in any other country? Yet you can't comprehend how certain government officials who talk to putin regularly orchestrating exposing sensitive infrastructure to the net and our cyber adversaries (like Russia) might maybe be seen as having some kind of involvement with Russia?

Have fun boxing that strawman I guess.

Have no fear, Big Balls is on it.

[–] icmpecho@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 hours ago

so when do us network engineers start seeing Tbps-class DDoS attacks from every single DoD /8 IP block because Big Balls™ is using it as a DDoS-as-a-service botnet? :D
