So today she found out that he actually speaks english, and was just pretending not to so he had an excuse not to.

I just want to point out that I avoid being a jerk to AIs just because it's my default habit - this blog notwithstanding.

Also it would be very funny, also he's a great American who loves America and the American people (as opposed to a lot of people who love what they imagine building after they dismantle America for parts), also @daisukitoo's other reply:

This would make Donald Trump's face the symbol of unethical, clandestine financial transactions.

He's really not, though, and he really doesn't.

...I don't mean this in a "check out my counterintuitive lefty definition of patriotism" way. I mean that he openly despises large sectors of the country, including traditional touchstones of American patriotic identity, in a way that has no parallel in any other US politician of comparable stature. He's the guy who flubs and flouts military ritual observances, and basically insulted John McCain to his face for his veteran status. He's the guy who makes a point of tearing down the architecture of Washington, DC. He's the guy who doesn't even bother pretending that he values Every Citizen, as opposed to valuing Those Citizens Who Support Him.

And you can say that all of this is symbolic frou-frou, which is true, and that symbols can sometimes get detached from the things they're supposed to symbolize, which is also true.

But - it's all of a piece with everything we've already known about Donald Trump forever. From way before 2016! He values money and celebrity and success and nothing else! He spits on everyone that he considers a loser, which definitely includes most Americans! He is cosmopolitan enough to think of those foreigners who swim in his circles as His People - enough to marry one! He would absolutely have been a part of hoity-toity New York sophisticate culture, if the sophisticates would have had him!

Anyhow, Donald Trump should be on the $250 bill if and only if he dies while in office, either by natural causes or by unnatural ones. In that case, putting his 1980s businessman split-term populist face on the bill is fitting, including because doing cash transactions in $250 bills is kinda shady. If Donald Trump survives his second term, then he should not be put on any U.S. currency, except for a limited-release commemorative Trump coin used for fundraising by the Federal government. This coin should be legal currency brought back periodically for sale to fans, but only if sales are profitable.

Trump is an egomaniac, unquestionably. He wants to Make America Great Again so that people will say "wow, Donald Trump made America great again, he was the best president ever and we should put his face on a bank note and build him a monument in DC and put his face on Mt. Rushmore and gush about him in our history books." To this end, he promotes policies that he thinks will genuinely strengthen America. He's doing it for his own personal ego boost, yes, but the end result is - at least hopefully - a stronger America.

Folks like Biden, Obama, Bush Jr., Clinton (both Hillary and Bill), etc., are also egomaniacs, but their focus is different. They want power and status among their elite clique of globalist technocratic government elites, and do not want a stronger America or an American population that is better off. They hold us in open contempt and often outright hatred. They get their ego boost from grinding us under their heels and convincing us to thank them for it.

Note: I'm not saying I endorse this trajectory or that I am excusing egotistical behavior. Just making an observation on the path of American politics.

Acting Secretary General of Bulgaria’s Interior Ministry Georgi Kandev has announced that he is leaving his post, revealing the decision in a statement published on his personal Facebook profile.

Kandev indicated that his departure was driven by a conflict between his professional responsibilities and his personal convictions. “Choosing between my position and my principles is impossible. Promising actions when I have to remain silent is also impossible. I understood the message,” he wrote.

In a lengthy statement reflecting on his three decades of service, Kandev said he had always viewed the role of a police officer as one of responsibility and public service rather than convenience. “For 30 years I have worn the uniform with the awareness that the law is the backbone of the state, that the task of a police officer is not to be convenient, but to be useful,” he stated, adding that he could not become “the person who will simply stare fearfully into the cameras.”

The outgoing official stressed that throughout his career he had sought to uncover the truth, take responsibility, and make difficult decisions when necessary. According to Kandev, both he and his colleagues demonstrated those qualities during the period leading up to the elections, when law enforcement agencies were heavily involved in efforts to combat vote buying and election-related offenses.

“My task has always been to seek the truth, to bear responsibility and to make decisions when it is difficult,” he wrote. “In the months before the elections, I proved that I can fulfill it when I have freedom and support. All of us police officers proved it.”

Kandev also made clear that he was unwilling to remain in a position where he would be held accountable for decisions made by others. “I do not want to be responsible for decisions that I do not make and for a facade that I do not want to support with my name,” he said, concluding his message with the remark: “There is no decree for people's trust.”

The announcement comes as a surprise given that only a month ago Prime Minister Rumen Radev publicly stated that Kandev would remain Secretary General of the Interior Ministry. At the time, the prime minister praised his performance during the election period, highlighting both his leadership and his role in the fight against vote buying.

That the value of the dollar has "fallen significantly" on Trump's watch is absolute bullshit. Biden, and Obama before him, produced far more inflation than Trump has--and fucked up our economy as well. But inflation has been government policy since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913. Inflation doesn't just happen; it's the result of printing money with no value to back it.

And 'normal' is defined by the Majority.

And the majority of ppl are mindless, spineless, low IQ, t0LeRaNt, herd compliers.

Anything They can possibly redefine or re-label to put you on prescriptions for is a Mental Illness now:

Your bff/sibling/family member died and you're too sad to go to work for a couple days? You're 'clinically depressed' - get on some pharma drugs.

Kid too smart and bored with classes dragging for the stupid ones? Or kid's not a fat lazy slug? Kidd is ADD or ADHD - get the kid on pharma drugs.

Pissed off that some a-hole broke into your home, trashed it, killed your pets, stole your property, slashed your tires, hurt your family? You have 'anger issues' - get on some pharma drugs.

Don't want health destroying rando vaxxes? Won't eat fake meat and bugs? Think elections are predetermined? Refuse to tolerate your kids, wife, gf, pets and livestock being raped by 3rd world shitbags? You're paranoid - Mentally ill - get on some court ordered pharma drugs, now you have to hand over all weapons ... maybe have a long stay in a 're-education' camp.

See how that works??

Y'all need to think this shit through. Y'all need to consider setting a precedent when your "side" is in power - what the other side is going to do with that power when the tables are turned.

Doesn't anyone have the ability to think past a headline or meme bait phrase anymore? ffs.

Are you repeatedly assaulting (screaming, shouting and verbally abusing) or hitting, kicking, stabbing or shooting people? I don't give a damn if you're "mentally ill" or just a violent asshole, I want you locked up so you can't hurt anyone else.

Are you camping on public spaces? Drinking or doing drugs in public spaces? Shitting and pissing on public spaces? Otherwise turning public spaces into a dangerous, unpleasant gauntlet everyone else must negotiate to go about their day unmolested? You should be locked up.

Tolerating such behavior is a choice. Specifically, a choice that leftist politicians, DAs and prosecutors are making with malice aforethought and imposing on the public.

And I feel like an alien every time I encounter this sort of thing, because it's so antithetical to any kind of logic or self-consistent ethical framework I can wrap my brain around. It's taking the genuine virtues of mercy and valuing human life and blowing them out of proportion into grotesque parodies of themselves. The victim here is not the one responsible for the ultimate outcome.

Does that mean that we should approach everything with infinite escalation forever? Hell no! But that doesn't change that almost all 'disproportionate' escalation the victim performs is dwarfed by the act of trying to harm an innocent victim in the first place! If I take the 'total violence' of a situation from a 1 to a 3, I've tripled it, but if I take a previously non-violent situation and amp it up from 0.00000000001 to 1, I've scaled it by an insane degree that makes that factor of three look minuscule despite technically being a lesser net increase.

I'm right 99% of thr time.

They often convince legislators of their point of view and to enact their neurosis as law.

They become judges and apply their neurosis to making bad rulings in what should be open and shut self defense cases.
