The full quote, if anyone's interested:

I think it’s going very well. It was an operation, like when a patient gets operated on, and uh, it’s a big thing. I said this would exactly be the way it is. Uh, we have 6 or 7 trillion dollars coming into our country, and uh, we’ve never seen anything like it. Uh, the markets are gonna boom, the stocks’re gonna boom, the country’s gonna boom, and the rest of the world wants to see: Is there any way they can make a deal? They’ve taken away advantage of us for many many years. For many years, we’ve been at the wrong side of the ball, and I’ll tell you what: I think it’s gonna be unbelievable. The thing that people have to talk about - we’re up to almost 7 trillion dollars of investment coming into our country, and uh, you’ll see how it’s gonna turn out. Our country’s gonna boom.

If the goal of prison isn't to turn criminals into better citizens, then why not put all prisoners in a hard labor camp?

And then there's Chuck Grassley, and Trump's psychotic cabinet.

Donald Trump has posted a response to the matter on Truth Social.

I think it’s going very well—The MARKETS are going to BOOM…

He elaborated further with this:

I think it's going very well. It was an operation, like when a patient gets operated on, and uh, it's a big thing. I said this would exactly be the way it is. Uh, we have 6 or 7 trillion dollars coming into our country, and uh, we've never seen anything like it. Uh, the markets are gonna boom, the stocks're gonna boom, the country's gonna boom, and the rest of the world wants to see: Is there any way they can make a deal? They've taken ~~away~~ advantage of us for many many years. For many years, we've been at the wrong side of the ball, and I'll tell you what: I think it's gonna be unbelievable. The thing that people have to talk about - we're up to almost 7 trillion dollars of investment coming into our country, and uh, you'll see how it's gonna turn out. Our country's gonna boom.

Trump is one of those people who thinks that saying it enough will make it true.

It's because the entire penguin species is plotting to overthrow the United States, and by extension, overthrow Trump. Obviously, Trump had to show the penguins that he isn't going to tolerate their interference.

I'm glad we've come to an understanding.

DMT provides more benefit per dollar.

[–] ijedi1234@sh.itjust.works 1 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

DMT is cheaper.

Controversial opinion, but I believe anesthesia is even better than sex. If you're ever been put under for surgery, you know what I'm talking about.

And they say that DMT can top even that. Only problem is that you have to take a trip outside the US to get it.

Mostly, yeah.

The White or Black aliens are a lot nicer than the Terra Invicta aliens. They only launch their invasion because the religious organization asks them to, and even then, the aliens don't hurt anyone intentionally.

Looking at the Terra Invicta factions, they end up like this in White or Black:

  • Project Exodus never gets off the ground.
  • The Protectorate is absorbed into the Servants, as the Protectorate comes to believe that the Servants' methods are a better way to assert control over the human population.
  • The Initiative is wiped out during World War III. Remnants are absorbed into the Resistance and Humanity First.
  • As things get more desperate, the Resistance is absorbed into Humanity First.
  • The Academy leads a strong alliance of nations in the East, but they are ultimately absorbed into the Servants around ~2098.
  • Humanity First is greatly weakened in the early 22nd century, and nearly destroyed in the 23rd century, but small rebel factions continue to exist into the 27th century.
  • The Servants control the entire Earth by the early 22nd century, and they take big steps to assert their rule in the 23rd century. They are unambiguously the winner in the 27th century.

The current election is done, but there will be more in the future. I believe he's referring to those.

The US is most similar to the 2030s-early 2050s US in the Chinese-written White or Black (Chinese variant of Brave New World).

  • An alien shows up, and an international team sent to investigate kill it by accident.
  • A bunch of aliens show up a few years later, but they're content to float in the sky.
  • After deciphering their language, humanity discovers that the aliens seek asylum on Earth, and they claim that the human race is doomed unless humanity does some immediate course correction.
  • "Lol, no."
  • Meanwhile, a group of religious MAGA Republicans (Trump is presumably dead at this point) form a religion devoted to worshiping the aliens, believing that they're angels sent by God.
  • The aliens' predictions come to pass. The collapsed US is then taken over by the alien supporting religious organization in the late 2060s-2070s.
