There is a reason that gold is in the biggest bull run of all time, and has eclipsed the one in the late 1970s sparked by the U.S. abandoning gold backing for the dollar. We’re witnessing the demise of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency in real time, and central banks have been loading up on gold in preparation for what comes next.

And how the cross is hidden in the 4th panel by the cleavage.

RealID is insufficient to confirm citizenship, yet a facial recognition app that is known to make errors is “definitive”? Sounds like racist bullshit to me.

Hey man, you can’t hug with nuclear arms!

Are you familiar with the concept of limerence? It’s an intense infatuation with a person typically rooted in romantic interest. It occurs when you don’t really know a person, and you build an idealized version of them in your mind that likely doesn’t reflect reality. You attribute all sorts of positive traits to them and overlook all their negative traits. You effectively view them through “rose colored glasses”. This is how Trump’s followers look at him. They have this delusional view of him as this strong man here to save them from the mean old leftists. His efforts to seize and wield extraordinary power is viewed favorably, because he is their savior. Everything he does is either awesome or it’s just minimized and ignored. When he does horrible things, it’s just haters looking to knock him down, because he’s just giving the U.S. the tough medicine it needs. There is no way to reason with them, because you can’t reason someone out of something they didn’t reason themselves into in the first place. It’s an emotional thing, in the same way you might be smitten by an attractive woman and build her up in your mind into something that she isn’t. The only way to break the spell is when your fantasy runs into cold, hard reality. In this case, the cold, hard reality will be financial collapse of the U.S. (or worse).

Thanks, Obama!

He’s redefining the phrase “playing the Trump Card” to mean the worst possible thing you can do.

The people here, and the vibe, is nicer. It’s like reddit was 15 years ago. Reddit has just gotten worse over the years as it became more popular, and especially after went public. Many subreddits are plagued with engagement bots that ping you with lame questions to get you to respond. Post a comment even slightly controversial and you get reported and banned, even if it wasn’t malicious. I just got tired of the shit show. I do miss the more robust traffic for niche subjects that reddit has, but not enough for me to go back.
