Not until after they purge the "woke" and "DEI" generals first and install their loyalists. Then the executive and military can operate as one.

Look, Trump won an overwhelming 49.9% of the popular vote to Harris's meager 48.4%, of the 63.9% of eligible voters who turned out. We need to acknowledge the massive landslide victory this was, the clear mandate it provides Trump, and forfeit all gains made for equality and inclusion made over the last 50 years.

He's literally bought the social media platform that Trump used to control the (inter)national discourse for four years and modified its algorithm to suit his interests. He's copied Trump's tactics of maintaining media coverage by pushing out enough insane shit to capture the daily news cycle attention. His notoriety comes from his wealth and not an elected office, so we will never stop hearing about him for as long as he owns twitter and the media has the attention span of a gnat.

The etymology section of your link suggests different:

The demographer, anthropologist, and historian Alfred Sauvy, in an article published in the French magazine L'Observateur, August 14, 1952, coined the term third world (tiers monde), referring to countries that were playing a small role in international trade and business. His usage was a reference to the Third Estate, the commoners of France who, before and during the French Revolution, opposed the clergy and nobles, who composed the First Estate and Second Estate, respectively (hence the use of the older form tiers rather than the modern troisième for "third"). Sauvy wrote, "This third world ignored, exploited, despised like the third estate also wants to be something."

But you're right in that the term began to be used far more widely during the Cold War for political alignment.

The legacy of the Roberts court will its spiral into institutionalized corruption. For a man who claims to hold the legitimacy of the court to be paramount, his resistance to any sort of oversight of the court's ethical standards will be how he is remembered. You can't restore faith in institutions by grandstanding against your accusers in a fruitless effort to deflect the valid criticisms of your colleagues.

Just gotta keep these poors more preoccupied with trying to pay their rent and they'll stop fucking with our profits with their environmental nonsense.

I mean he might have

No. "We finally beat Medicaid" Biden would have lost, bigly.

If anything though Biden should have dropped out sooner or not ran at all

Yes, 100% this. He should have been the transitional president he signaled he'd be, before being elected in 2020.

the return of Gamergate

Really?

I feel like a perpetually online person, but maybe not as much as I think? I missed this one, but I also don't spend a lot of time on 4chan these days either.
