β€œIsrael was going to attack Iran, who would then attack us, so we attacked Iran,” is some wild circular logic.

Dr Manhattan from Watchmen appears in a three-panel comic strip that portrays his famous β€œIt is 1985” scene.

In this meme’d version, panel one says, β€œIt is 1991. A Republican President has attacked a country in the Middle East.”

Panel two says, β€œIt is 2003. A Republican President has attacked a country in the Middle East.”

Panel three says, β€œIt is 2026. A Republican President has attacked a country in the Middle East.”

Lionel Hutz shows his business card that says β€œDonald J Trump. Release the Epstein files. No new wars.” He says β€œOh! they got this all screwed up!” Then he edits the card with a red pen so it says β€œDonald J Trump. Release the Epstein files? No! new wars!”

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve?

If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days?

If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built?

It's a tax. That's all it is.

I can’t believe he’s asserting that they need the president of another country to come and provide solace. Not even mentioning the fact that that country is engaged in genocide.

The passive language suggests that things just happened, not that someone actively made those decisions.

Let's get this straight.

Adani donates $600k the Qld LNP before election.

After the election, Qld LNP ends legal action over $400 MILLION in unpaid royalties.

I’m not so sure. It’s a cult of personality. I don’t think anyone else can sustain that energy. A lot of the MAGA/QAnon mythology around Trump is non-transferable IMO.

Genuine Q for you, @grogsgamut.bsky.social: do you believe there’s a better way than the interest rate sledgehammer? I can’t imagine how it’s logical to take more money from mortgage holders and give it to banks when prices rise, but I’m no economist. Surely there’s a better way to cool spending?
