Selling of overpriced assets?
Is the bubble bursting?

Good luck with putting weapons into the hands of people who you’ve forced to join a war against their wishes.
Watch your backs 😜

Trump lost the ‘trade war’.
Now they’re signalling that they’re not ready for a conventional war.

Cankles McTaco Tits: outplayed & outmanoeuvred, he’s a bully who folds as soon as somebody stands up to him.

“Donald Trump is a weak man pretending to be strong. He is a small man pretending to be big. He is a faithless man pretending to be righteous. He’s a perpetrator who can’t stop playing the victim”.

When will America see the truth and kick him to the kerb?

US debt accelerates by over $1 trillion since August 2025 and now stands at over $38 trillion. The only way Trump can bring things back under control is to cut interest rates. As soon as Powell is out the new team of nodding dogs at the Fed will cut rates to under 2%… or the economy will implode.

My father is 91 and lives in Hamble. He has dementia. He’s a shoe-in for Reform.

I'm in agreement with most of your analysis. Trump, and his tech bro backers are driving the economy to an AI/robotic future... but he promised the voting public that he'd bring manufacturing (and jobs) back on-shore. I'm seeing no evidence of that, and very soon the MAGA faithful won't either.

It seems I'm not the only one.

I've been here 15 years. I was born in Germany. I speak fluent German.
I've encountered rudeness and arrogance in number of 'historic' café houses in the city...

Maybe it's because I'm a foreigner?

There is good coffee in abundance... you just need to avoid the rude and arrogant waiting staff... there's a reason Café Bräunerhof went bust 😜

The 'Fan Parade' thing is just such bullshit.
Give Moto2/3 10-15 minutes of warm-up and ditch the cheesy 'meet the fans by driving around the circuit on the back of a trailer 100m from where the fans are sitting because that'll make them feel like they're part of the action'... it's a no-brainer.

Very on-brand for Pecco’s 2025.

Neither of those involved wanted to have anything to do with this documentary. It’s just a pathetic clickbait story being pushed by Dorna to gain new viewers…
There are plenty of characters in the paddock but they’re too lazy/incompetent to do something with them.

Bike was on rails today, unlike the ‘flexi-frame special’ he was using in PI. Not sure how you swing from one to the other so quickly and without understanding why.

Still 0.6 sec slower than last years pole though 🤯

Marc Marquez won the World Championship despite Ducati’s best efforts 🥴

When he talks of "Banderite hideouts", does he mean kindergarten?

When he said he had a "Nazi streak" he was clearly referring to the fabulous Hugo Boss styled uniforms, the advanced highway system, the Volkswagen Beetle, 'Kraft durch Freude' healthy leisure activity programme... people need to chill out and not take him at his word.

(NB: may contain sarcasm).

Ukraine destroy oil/gas installations.
Russia destroys kindergartens... and people's lives.

Disgusting.

Eventually, it will be reality.

Does he consider himself to be a "belligerent idiot" or an "opportunist and spineless fellow traveller"...

#USEconomy

"As long as the music is playing, you've got to get up and dance"

We're back to Trump/Putin deciding on how the war ends... they think they can carve-up the spoils without Ukraine or Europeans sitting at the table.

The #BudapestMemorandum2.0 will be as meaningless and hollow as the first.

He's one small cog in a machine that's designed to monetise government on behalf of a tech oligarchy. Trump 1.0 was a dry run, they studied hard and came back in 2025 with what is probably the world's most refined mechanism for extracting the wealth from the masses and giving it to the 1%ers.

Is this the same guy who said Russia’s economy is “doing great”? Wow, Penn must be very proud…

Meanwhile Trump is saying it's under $2...

And he was held up badly in the traffic by both Quartararo and Acosta, Fabio was much faster out of the last 2 turns which meant that Marco couldn't get close enough to pass him on the start/finish straight, and Acosta's RC16 looked faster on the straights.

Interesting also to note that Russian media is telling them they're already fighting against NATO forces in Ukraine... and they seem to believe it.

Trump will meet with Putin but nothing will be agreed. It’s a pantomime.

This is how Trump negotiates on behalf of Putin.
