Oh, it was a partial shutdown, that’s why I haven’t heard of it, for me it’s full shutdowns or I just don’t care

THE President, Donald Jonathan Trump just ended a government shutdown that started on Saturday. So, does he now hold the record for longest and shortest shutdowns in history?

The budget is worth $1.2 trillion dollars (USDollars) but the Department of Homeland Security (DeHoSe) will have its funding cut off next week whilst Democrats argue about ice (ICE).

The Demogorgans want icy agents to wear bodycams, not wear facemasks (ironic) and just overall give them less money. Jesus, seems a bit harsh, what did they do, shoot someone? Oh, they did? TWO people?? What the hell?

“This bill is a great victory for the American people,” said Trump, mega-sharpie in hand. But is it though? Isn’t this just business as usual? Inventing pull tabs for soda cans, that’s a great victory for the American people, this is just hyperbole.

Also, why has this become so business as usual? I know in general the political right is against big government but arguing for long enough the government has to shut down feels like a very circuitous and temporary way of sticking to those Washington elite.

I mean, the last one was only back in November. It’s becoming so normal now that I for one didn’t even hear about this shutdown and I’m PAID to read the news!

Democrats Just Played Their Trump Card

Now I know government shutdowns are becoming a bit of a political norm nowadays, this is the 12th (?) since 1980 (seven (?) of those under Trump’s watch), but things weren’t always this way. It began in 1980 with a specific interpretation of an 1884 spending law. From the 80s onward suddenly all government spending needed Congressional approval or it wouldn’t happen.

No other country does this by the way. If the government can’t agree on spending bills, that doesn’t mean planes start dropping out the sky, that would be insane, what an insane way to behave.

So if the law was changed once, why can’t it be changed again? Well, because it’s become a political tool. The pay of millions and the smooth running of the country is a hostage that political parties can kidnap then blame each other for when said hostage’s headsets inevitably blown off.

I guess until we have political peace and love and hand-holding, we’re going to see a lot more governments just ceasing to function right in the middle of a thought. Now bare in mind that

Like, honestly, what’s the fucking point anymore? Are we literally just burning shit for the sake of burning shit?

Ok, so, this is Moltbook, it kind of looks like Reddit but all the users are bots. …so how’s it different from Reddit?

Over 1.5 million AI ‘agents’ ‘use’ the ‘site’ and humans are allowed, but they can only watch. Kind of like my sex life with my wife.

Yes, inevitably there’s very ‘popular’ ‘posts’ about whether the AI Claude can be considered a god and other bots have apparently built a ‘religion’ called Crustafarianism. It’s headline grabby and idiots will mistake that for something to actually worry about but don’t forget, these are literally just word predicting machines. They do not think.

And then throw into the mix that, well, the whole thing’s a lie.

Because the product on sale here are Moltbots, AI agents that can be trained by humans for specific purposes and the site actually has 17,000 users running these bots to do things like, I don’t know, create a religion for example.

So much for sitting quietly on the cuck chair in the corner.

It’s kind of hilarious that every other site has a problem with keeping bots out and humans in and Moltbook might just be the first to have the opposite problem.

But still the question remains: what’s the fucking point?

No one seems to have a good answer for what the purpose of this whole thing actually is. Like, imagine I make a mirror and I’m like check out my mirror it’s the best mirror, it’s amazing, you’ll really enjoy it. And you say, oh, thanks, that’s great I will really enjoy looking at myself in your mirror and it’ll give the illusion that my Lebanese restaurant looks bigger than it actually is. And I’m like, NO.

THIS MIRROR IS NOT FOR LOOKING IN. THIS MIRROR IS ON THE INSIDE OF A BOX FACING OTHER MIRRORS AND THEY ONLY REFLECT EACH OTHER.

You’d quite rightly say, what’s the point?

Is a mirror still a mirror when it reflects nothing at all?

After multiple snubbings to come hang on Jeffrey Epstein’s pedo-island, world’s richest loser, Elon Musk has announced plans to make his own island but way cooler and in space with AI sex girlfriends instead.

In order to facilitate this long term plan, Musk has decided to fold Grok-creators, xAI, into his rocket company, SpaceX.

I know, that seems insane, but think about it, it’s not insane if you think like all the other tech billionaires. That’s right, we’re talking about AI datacentres in space.

As Musk explained last week, “The lowest cost place to put AI will be in space and that will be true within two years, maybe three at the latest.”

I mean, he’s obviously lying but everyone else is on board the crazy train too, with Bezos and Zuckerberg and Pichai (Google) all declaring similar things.

What this really is though is some financial wiggling. xAI already merged with Twitter and SpaceX and Tesla are already investing money back and forth with these other entities. It’s all just an exercise in debt management and one step towards Musk’s eventual goal of forming a South Korean-style mega-monopoly (I think they’re called ‘chaebol’, look it up).

The news also comes ahead of Elon’s plan to launch the largest IPO in history come June when SpaceX goes public and that $1.5 trillion valuation becomes a reality.

Idk how it works but I’m guessing Musk just wants xAI and Twitter and everything to get buoyed by that valuation. Or maybe it’s like a lil extra to sweeten the deal. “By one insane tech company with ‘x’ in the name and get another free!”

Which brings us to the most important question of this whole story: what will this new company be called?

I mean, SpaceXAI seems like the obvious combination but then you lose that previous capitalisation. SpacexAI looks weird. Also, Twitter gets lost in the mix there, we need another X, but then SpaceXXX looks like a porn company so maybe not.

My pitch would be for the mega-ultimate name. Conventions be damned let’s put it all in there and I don’t care how unwieldy it will be at least it’s clear. Calling it now, Elon’s new super-company will be called:

SpaceXX(Twitter)xAITeslaGrok(noaffiliationwithJepstien)

We’ve just got the numbers in and back in November 2025 (which feels like a thousand years ago, my god), the US trade deficit widened by the most its ever widened since 1992 and it might just be because of AI…

Speaking of the 90s, the trade gap increase was a whopping 94.6%, climbing up to $56.8 billion, even though the prediction was $40.5 billion. Crazy numbers.

So for those of you that don’t know (me), a trade gap is well… hold lemme google it… the trade gap is the difference between the monetary value of a nation’s exports and imports of goods over a certain time period and if a country imports a greater value than it exports, it has a trade deficit.

Yeah, I just knew that off the top of my head, no biggy.

Now, BECAUSE of AI, America has seen a lot of imports of investments and tech and goods and psychosis ‘cos we need all that to build all these data centres and support this new infrastructure.

So, why have these November numbers only just come out now? Well, you can probably guess, but it’s because of the government shutdown.

This might mean that economists will have to adjust their predictions for the economy accordingly and we may not see as much growth as we previously thought there would be.

Only time will tell of course if all this AI investment is worth it, but I’m asking ChatGPT and he/she/it says it’s a really good thing, so imma go with that for now.

GOLD!! GOLD IS UP!! GOLD JUST HIT A ONE BILLION TRILLION DOLLAR ATH AHHHHH!!! You know who loves gold though? You know who’s making BANK off this news because his entire house is made of solid gold? Donald MuthaFukn’ Trump Baybeee!!

So it’s a lil awkward when someone asks him if he’s worried about the dollar sliding because you know deep down he’s just thinking about gold. Like a dragon in a cave.

When asked about USD’s massive slide he said, “No, I think it’s great!” whilst huffing a massive bag of pure copium. “Look at the value of the dollar. Look at the business we are doing. The dollar is, the dollar is doing great.”

And you know what happened after he said this? The dollar double dipped again.

Because if he’s oblivious to what’s going on with the economy and he’s the only person who can fix it, well kind of sounds like he’s not going to do anything about it now, doesn’t it? And so things are just going to get worse.

And it’s not like he’s fixing someone else’s mess. We are in this position entirely because of his tariffs and sabre-rattling over Greenland and Venezuela.

But those are calming down, right? We’re heading out of the storm now, right? Well, no, my dear little chipmunk, because the god damn DEMOCRATS are trying to change immigration laws by withholding budget support meaning that we might get some more government shutting down which is very good for things and a sign of a healthy government, yes.

Idk, maybe this is good for everyone else, though. If dolars are cheap, maybe I can finally build my giant benjamin franklin fort.

Pres. Don. Trump. just raised tariffs on South Korean imports to 25% for some reason but despite this, Asian markets have seen a massive boom recently coupled with a strong Japanese Yen to America’s once almighty dollar.

And you know what? That’s it. That’s the news. That’s all there is to say on the matter. Sure, I could get into a bunch of analysis, but do you really trust Wall Street Memes Dot Com for your financial advice? No, I’d look somewhere else.

What, it’s not like you have the attention span to read this far down anyways. I but you’ve not even got this far. I bet you’ve clicked away already. I bet your back on TikTok or something you disgusting zellenial.

No, still here? Alright then, why don’t I tell you a story?

Once upon a time there was a lonely boy called Edgort. He lived alone in an immense castle that he was free to explore as much as he liked. Every day Edgort would wander about the halls and parapets and every day he would find something new. No matter how far he walked in a day or how much he explored, he never seemed to find the end of the castle.

Oh how he was desperate to find a way out of the castle and find someone else to talk to but he had yet to even see the castle gates.

One day, Edgort came across a tall tower and when he climbed it he realized that this must be the tallest tower in the whole castle, because when he reached the top and Edgort looked out, he saw that no other tower was higher. And from this vantage point Edgort could see that the castle stretched for miles and miles and miles and miles all the way to the horizon where the towers and walls seemed to go on even further still.

And so that day Edgort decided to stop searching for the end of the castle, to stop trying to find a way out. Edgort found a nice little corner of the building with a room and a well stocked kitchen and never ventured much further again. And there he remained, until he died.

The End.

Famed investor and all-around cool guy, Warren Buffett, is in his final months. …at Berkshire Hathaway, not his life, Jesus, give him a break. And it looks like the big dub-ya-bee is making his final moves before wrapping things up for good.

One of which is apparently walking around with a big bell and sandwich board yelling, “The end is nigh!”

According to this one tweet and literally nothing else BUFFETT JUST DELIVERED A SERIOUS WARNING!!! Ahhh PANIC!!!

Warren Buffett tweet — Buffett here pictured wishing he had a straw.

So what I can’t find a source for this information and the image is from last year? Do you not see the numbers on that thing? You freaking know I’m jumping on that band waggon and stealing the exact same clickbait.

“Everyone’s panicking”? Literally no one is panicking. What are you talking about, clickbait headline? Jesus, I hope you didn’t click on this just to find out who was panicking and whether you were one of those people panicking or not.

In actual news, Buffett’s successor is talking about dumping Berkshire Hathaway’s massive $7.5 billion in Kraft Heinz stock. A massive vote of no confidence in the company.

So there you go. There’s something you can actually chew on. Just before you accuse me of offering no value to your life whatsoever.

OK, there you go, I gave you something, now go gamble in our casino. QUICKLY!!

The national debt just passed $38.5 trillion dollars and it’s gotten some people freaked. Look, a national debt is important to some degree, but America might just be chewing off more than it can chew (so to speak).

In the last three months of 2025, America spent $276 billion on debt interest alone. Meanwhile there’s a housing crisis, inflation is out of control and confidence in government is at an all time low.

But I really didn’t need to tell you all that.

If all of this is manageable and we can slowly ease out of it, it’s fine, but the worry is that some big crunch will occur and we might see another credit crash.

If America can’t find debtors to take on its loans or the debt becomes completely unmanageable, the government might be forced to reduce spending or pump money into the problem which might lead to hyper-inflation of the dollar.

As economist Kurt Couchman explains, in this case the “likelihood of having a recession, if not a severe recession or maybe even a depression, become possibilities.”

“The global, economic instability could translate into some real security risks and even threats to our political systems because of the kinds of politicians that people may respond to if they’re feeling especially desperate. Those are all challenges to the American dream that stem from the growing debt burden.”

Couchman then goes on to explain that beyond reduced spending there might not be a solution to the problem but he does recommend greater transparency, blah, blah, blah…

But look, threats of economic collapse are as old as economics itself. Sure it happens, but take any sensationalist click-baity headline with a pinch of salt. OK?

And ESPECIALLY don’t trust a dumb article by a dumb guy on Wall Street Memes Dot Com. This scary, catchy headline is designed to get you to click onto this site and literally nothing else because, at the end of the day, this is an advert for a casino.

Like, no, but it’s not great news.

Alright, here we go again, deep breath… Donald Trump has reignited his trade war with the EU over ownership of Greenland, increasing tariffs 10% and threatening to go up further if Denmark doesn’t hand over the frozen wasteland that no one actually wants anyway.

So this is literally just blackmail?

EU shares took a massive hit, particularly in sectors like credit, luxury goods and vehicles. Gold and silver, however, have hit an ATH, which is never really a good sign about the stability of the global economy. Oh, and the dollar is down, and people are panicking about an impending depression so all round good news.

Europe is discussing its response and could potentially hit back with similar tariffs but currently world leaders are playing down that possibility and playing up diplomacy. Likely we’ll see a back and forth for a bit, some European leaders will have a meeting with Trump, kiss his ass for a bit, offer some conciliation prize like idk, a military spending or ownership of the military base or something and the whole thing will cool down when he sparks whatever the next international crisis will be.

Shall we spin the globe? How about Taiwan? I think it’s Taiwan’s turn to be in the news next.

Trump-ed up charges

We know how this playbook goes, Trump threatens the craziest possible scenario, the world freaks out and everyone writes about it and then placate him with less than what he asked for but what he actually wanted all a long. It’s exactly what he did with the tariffs and everyone falls for it every time.

And the reasoning never matters, in this case it’s because China and Russia are a threat to Greenland which err, they are not. Yeah, China has investments in rare minerals extraction there, but they’re only interested in soft power there atm. Russia on the other hand, sure I’m sure they’d love a bit of Greenland but never in a million years are they invading it when it’s right on America, Canada and Europe’s doorstep. (shh, yes, i know Ukraine, but that’s different, shh.)

There’s also the factor that the receding ice might (big might) open up a new trade route to Asia.

The only country it would really make a difference for is, surprise, surprise, America.

This is your standard imperialism, pure and simple. Except we live in the age of liberal democracy where imperialism, by and large, is ineffective compared with diplomatic and economic solutions.

So no, we’re not heading towards World War III. Maybe we’ll see things heat up a bit but our current civilisation is built on these alliances, it’s in no one’s interest to start fighting.

Why do you think this is a tariff war and not an actual war?

Trump will walk away with some small win once the dust has settled but his greatest legacy in this debarkle with be the continued erosion of diplomatic relations with his closest allies.

Good work, Mr. Trump!

And as a special bonus, here’s DJT’s 100% real letter to Norway’s Prime Minister. And no, it wasn’t written by a child.

“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.

“Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a ‘right of ownership’ anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also.

“I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

So much for isolationism…

For more on this story, read this: Greenland’s Response To JD Vance: “Sorry, Who Are You?”

Who? What? What are you talking about? Oh yeah, I’m supposed to tell you, sorry, one sec…

Right, I’ve read up on it now and the crypto platform Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson says that he lost $2.5 billion dollars in actual money over four years. Why? Well according to him government interference killed the bull run before it had even hit its stride.

Hoskinson went further and put the blame squarely at Donald J. Trump’s feet, saying that instead of the crypto pump that he had promised during his campaign, Trump just sowed chaos.

So is this cope? Or a big bag of nope?

Well, most cryptos have dipped about 40%-50% since Trump’s second term began. Additionally pump-and-dump schemes pushed by the president himself (Trump and dump, if you will), giving crypto as a whole a massive hit to its reputation.

On the other hand we have seem massive crypto rallies over the past year with Bitcoin breaking multiple ATHs and a general feeling of a more widespread adoption of the technology with a number of companies embracing the currencies.

Alright, so now what?

Well, idk, idk what to do with any of this. Make up your own mind, whatever.
