06:00 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0 h0 h0ez!
06:16  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
06:35 <@Dolemite> Currently watching The Stand
06:35 <@Dolemite> I have to wonder about the thought process CBS went through to release a new TV adaptation of that story in the middle of a pandemic
06:56 <@Evilpig> free advertising with all teh conspiracy theories about covid being released from a lab
06:59 <@Dolemite> Today's episode brought to you by the letter Q, for QAnon.
07:24 <@Evilpig> I read something yesterday that put trump in a different light.  almost made me feel sorry for him.  almost.  It basically went on to talk about how trump was a puppet for mitch and crew that needed someone that was easily manipulated in office in order to carry out their plans.
07:25 <@Evilpig> while that is a conspiracy theory, i'm gonna side with confirmation bias and say it sounds true enough.
07:25 <@Dolemite> Well he's easily manipulated by blowing smoke up his ass
07:28 <@Evilpig> that part is definitely true.  he is 100% easily manipulated.  wether or not he was a plant by others is debatable 
07:33 <@Dolemite> Sadly that's what the Republican Party has turned into.   W was easily handled by Cheney.   Trump was handled by lots of people, including Kim Jong Il, Vladimir Putin, and Moscow Mitch.
07:33 <@Dolemite> Oh, and Nazi Poster Boy Stephen Miller
07:35 <@Evilpig> I'm sure alot of politicians are being manipulated similarly just not as showy as tRump was
07:51 <@Dolemite> Most are manipulated by their own greed, for sure
07:52 <@Dolemite> Trump just has a simpler avenue for manipulation - his narcissism
11:38 < aestetix> honestly
11:38 < aestetix> I wish someone like trump but less narcissistic and vulgar had been president
11:38 < aestetix> the establishment needed a shakeup
11:46 <@Dolemite> I don't disagree
11:47 < aestetix> I just really hope Biden lives out his term
11:48 < aestetix> or maybe some crazy scandal will force harris to resign
11:53 < aestetix> The one quesstion I keep asking about the future of the US: would other countries actually trust a country with 24 trillion in debt, if that country did not have a massive military arsenal ready to attack?
11:54 < aestetix> Just seems like all the spending is gonna fuck the US sooner than later
11:58 < aestetix> 27 trillion, my bad
12:03 <@Dolemite> Yeah, but Trump just wanted to keep spending more than before but instead of getting at least some value for our tax dollars, it enriched his friends and family
