Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

During an interview on Fox News, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent agreed with X owner Elon Musk's claim that Americans in the near future won't need to save for retirement thanks to the rapid growth of artificial intelligence.

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's Treasury Secretary, multimillionaire Scott Bessent, decided to parrot the predictions of trillionaire Elon Musk about the future finances of average Americans.

In an interview with fellow Trump sycophant and Fox News personality Sean Hannity, the host asked Bessent about the claims Musk made about artificial intelligence. Hannity said Musk claimed in the near future, Americans wouldn't need to save for their retirement because of the "abundance" AI will create.

listen i know you took the article name verbatim…

Not quite. Obviously no one on 'Fox News' is going to say or ask anything with any intelligence. The "ripped" was a social media response; and I stop reading (MSM) articles when I see algorithmic social media posts. I posted this article because it's an example of how disconnected from reality and/or completely lying Chump's regime is. I believe many intelligent people did 'rip' this idiot for his idiotic line, so the headline is truthful

it’s a distinction with out meaning. every opinion on the face of the earth is “ripped”.

but it doesn’t matter because i don’t hold you to the title of the article. i am blaming the authors of the article itself

blamed, smashed, cooked, slapped, ripped. it’s all derided as useless news marketing

Journalism is so dead (killed, really), eg tech journalism that parrots industry press releases verbatim even when they're BS, that I would rather a headline flag a questionable (or worse) statement as such with "blamed, smashed, etc." than present it as truth, like "Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Says Americans Soon Won't Need Retirement Savings Thanks To AI". I'm moving on
