Let the domino effect begin. High import prices -> cancel imports -> cancel orders -> less delivery and packaging -> loss of contracts for truckers -> layoff of dock workers -> scarcity of goods -> loss and closure for small businesses -> closure of companies supplying to them -> mass furlong...

Monday Headlines: “I run the country and the world,” Donald Trump says in Atlantic interview. Trump demands investigations into negative approval rating polls and wrote on Truth Social on Monday, “They are negative criminals…” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt suggests the...

I feel badly for Zelenskyy for having to deal with Putin and Russia and the invasion of Ukraine, and then on top of that, having to interact with the piece of mindless, fascist shit that is Trump.

I know if I want to help main street, I demolish their 401(k)s. Then I take away as many federal benefits as I can as quickly as possible: Their Social Security. Their energy assistance, their federal education assistance… Then I pull the rug out from any agricultural grants that were *already...

BREAKING: "Strongest President ever" begs his enemy to stop. Why didn't Biden think of this? One is cold and calculating, with decades of KGB training. The other is impulsive, stupid, and wears a disturbing amount of makeup. There's just no way to know which has the upper hand here. What a...

Latest pic of the Maga Load. Looking regal he is.

I need to pay more attention to our Bullshitter in Chief? Nah. But his bullshit has no limit! :) Unfortunately, he forgot to tell the ports to collect his tariffs. Oops!

When stupidity is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent. — Isaac Asimov

Buy stock in witch-burning supplies now. During Trump's meeting with the President of El Salvador, before the President came in, while live feed was running on Bukele's feed, Trump said to him, "Home-growns are next… You're gonna need to build about 5 more places." No deportations are...

Welcome to the forum! Everyone here gets along like family. It's amazing.

The US is allegedly paying El Salvador $20,000 per person. That is enough to feed and house their families in America. Instead of benefiting from their labor and taxes, we are taking pleasure in torturing them to death. Additionally, with Trump backing down on various electronic tariffs...

It appears that some wealthy oligarchs are unhappy with the current state of the Trump-era tariffs. The New Civil Liberties Alliance states that the president’s use of emergency powers to impose these tariffs is unlawful. This is damage control. They have the insider connections to stop...

What is this circular, meaningless drivel? Any of you supporters want to Trumpsplain what he's saying? This quote from Maritime News really sums up the current mental condition of Trump; "Consider the amount of support this current administration seems to receive from certain segments of the...

As Stock Market Plunges Over Tariffs, Trump Takes In The Greens At His Golf Course - "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH," Trump wrote from Mar-a-Lago as Wall Street and MAGA continue to panic over his tariffs.

4D chess master Trump knows what he's doing. He said the economy will go BOOM with his tariffs that he personally determined. I think this is the red wave he was promising. Which way to the bread line?

Trump Tariffs: Stock Market Loses $3.1 Trillion in value in one day. Such a genius.

Eghhh, I was told corps are gonna absorb these tariffs so we are all just overreacting. Wait, then I was told the plan is to crater the economy quickly so we will bounce back first. V style baby!!! Shit, then there I saw something about a "Mar-A-Lago Acord" where the best deal maker to ever...

A short follow-up period of six days after treatment may not be sufficient to properly assess the long-term efficacy of ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block for tinnitus. It may be challenging to find a doctor who is willing to give it a try. Keep us updated if you find a doctor, along...

Remember: Banks are people too! Then they'll say you should just keep a 'buffer' in your checking so that doesn't happen and blame you again. Americans love to think they're so smart and wise for avoiding getting fucked in the ass that they don't see why the ass fucking should be prevented in...

Ah, the leader giving direction to private industry leaders to further his political goals. There's a type of political structure that utilized this sort of organizing principle, but I just can't seem to remember what it was. All I can say it was kind of in vogue in Europe in the first part of...

Proving that you have damage to your hearing will be difficult. Hiring a lawyer will also be challenging. Getting a doctor to testify that your hearing damage has worsened will likely be expensive.

I find that there is a delay between the acoustic trauma and the resulting spike, just as you described. I usually experience the spike the following day.

Yes. I have a discordant cacophony of high-frequency static, crickets, shrieks, and pure tones that constantly change in pitch by the millisecond, all at around 85 dB. The frustrating part is that my hearing loss starts at 6 kHz, so there is no ability to mask the sound. It really sucks, and...

His description sounds like my tinnitus. I recommend that he stop using noise-cancelling headphones for a while. They made my tinnitus worse.

Honest mistake - they thought the journalist was a Russian spy. Fortunately, Trump knows nothing. So I expect everyone involved to resign. /s

Avoid microsuction, as it can be quite loud.

Musk balances a fork and two spoons on his pinkie! Trump is amazed. Quite the genius.

I had DBS surgery as part of a clinical study to address tinnitus and was not taking any antibiotics. Your assumption is incorrect.

"We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests." — FDR, 1941 "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." — Ben...

Trump/Vance are in full bully mode. We know we have you over a barrel, and we're going to extract everything we can and give you as little as possible while still not crossing Putin. Does Vance think he's the Bad Cop? He's such a despicable and unlikeable person; his injection wasn't helpful...

"When we speak of peace, we should not mean just the absence of war. True peace rests on the pillars of individual freedom, human rights, national self-determination, and respect for the rule of law." — Ronald Reagan

I guess the potential upside of changing the landscape to basing everything on bullshit, making words and agreements meaningless, weaseling out of whatever you want, and doing your best to get over on the other guy, means that others get to do the same, so we'll just have to see what actually...

From what I can gather online, they announced plans to discontinue research on this drug. I’m not sure what that means.

Looks like DEI is back. Trump plans to create a religious office in the White House and target what he calls “anti-Christian bias.” Makes sense, since he is the lord and savior... /s

Canadians and Mexicans are rallying around the idea of not buying American goods, which is hurting our own exports. In return, Trump managed to get them to agree to things they were already doing anyway. Masterful gambit, sir.

Republicans’ lack of foresight and planning, especially with Trump wanting to shrink the government without first improving it, creates more problems rather than solving any. You cannot transition away from certain economic dependencies without preparation unless you are willing to deal with...

Elon Musk will control the treasury at the same time that every single FBI official that could investigate his actions are being systematically purged... even the executive directors overseeing cybersecurity. This isn't a red flag. It's a 5-alarm blazing fire. These people are not playing for...

How does a fascist government consolidate its hold on a country? By punishing businesses and people who don't do as they dictate and rewarding businesses and people who do. We are now clearly governed by a fascist government, and it will get worse by the week. It's amazing how fast things have...

Four more years of word salad coming our way. Asked if he would "commit to prioritizing legislation to make child care affordable" and "what specific piece of legislation" he would support during a Q&A session at the Economic Club of New York Thursday, Trump said:

They are also screen grabs from when their hands are waving, paused at the exact time to make it look bad. It's out of context and bad faith. Anyway, I'd suggest that since you're defending this shit, go ahead and take a video of you making the same gesture and post it on your personal social...

If you watch the videos, you'll see that they aren't Nazi scum like Elon.

I recommend a very slow taper. The folks and moderators at BenzoBuddies can really help - check 'em out.

He wasn't selling snake oil - he gave it away. I could only listen for a moment and knew that it wasn't for me.

Trump's Manifest Destiny: Time for war and military intervention to claim Greenland and the Panama canal. I'm so surprised. /s Next, I'm sure he'll suggest renaming in Gulf of Mexico to something more maga-ity.

Or stupid enough to be convicted in a federal court by a jury of his peers for being a total douchebag.

Everybody knows the candidate is Trump, whom you assumed is the criminal I'm referring to; he will be convicted, and if you think otherwise, you are just kidding yourself or are full of Kool-Aid. Another stumble and another big oops; Trump's memory is slipping, and his apparent mental decline...

I thought I would share these funny quotes from Steven Wright. They made me chuckle a lot. 1- I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize. 2 - Borrow money from pessimists -- they don't expect it back. 3 - Half the people you know are below average. 4 - 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name. 5 - 82.7%...

My buddy Tom went to college and racked up a lot of student debt. He never committed a crime and had a squeaky-clean record. However, due to George W. Bush's ignorance, he graduated into one of the worst economic disasters. At one point, he had to choose between food and paying his loans, and he...

It is entertaining, isn't it. In other news, RFK Jr. admitted in a NY Times article that a brain worm ate part of his brain, and he was also previously diagnosed with mercury poisoning, which causes serious neurological issues. 2010, he was experiencing memory loss and mental fogginess so...

Let's forget about dogs. There were much more juicy, interesting things to discuss today, such as testimony in Trump's courtroom trial. Per Daniel's testimony, after Trump pulled out a magazine, she said she told him: Daniel's description of the magazine incident led many jurors to... Per her...

Late Lament Lyrics from The Moody Blues. Breathe deep the gathering gloom Watch lights fade from every room Bedsitter people look back and lament Another day's useless energy spent Impassioned lovers wrestle as one; Lonely man cries for love and has none; New mother picks up and suckles her...
