Anybody watching Squark Box today would think that America is a one party dictatorship.
Not one single Democratic viewpoint amongst three hours of trump worshipping!

Trump reckons the Tiktok deadline is now Dec 16th.
Trump says President Xi accepted the deal on a phone call.
President Xi has made no announcement to this effect.
Trump has valued the US Tiktok arm at $14 billion.
The markets value it at $30-40 billion.
SOMETHING STINKS!

Hilarious Machado winning the Nobel Peace Prize,
for being everything that trump isn't!
Bless her and her efforts against dictatorship.
Poor old Joe Kernen will be in full hair on fire mode,
as his dear leader loses out on something Joe has worked hard at promoting every minute of his waking day!

Poor old CNBC"s Joe Kernen.
Got himself into a right twist.
Never a week goes by when he doesn't demean the value of the Nobel Peace Prize,
His thesis,
Barack winning it makes the value worthless.
yet it's eating him up that trump HASN'T won it.
knowing how much his dear leader craves the prestige!

And to pay for Bessents failed soya bean farm.
which had record crop this year,
but because of trumps ridiculous import taxes,
has not sold so much as a bushel.
Instead
within days of trump putting 50% consumer tax on Brazilian coffee,
the Brazilian farmers sold the entire year's soya crop to China!

Japan's real wages fall for eighth month in August Japanese workers saw real wages fall for the eighth straight month in August, with a double-digit decrease in one-off compensations on top of relentless inflation outpacing nominal pay growth, government data showed on Wednesday.

What Japan needs is some serious white collar unionisation!
Unbelievable the amount of unpaid work that is done in Japanese office's.
Japanese men spend all day rushing to or from work,
& then getting really drunk,
falling asleep on the pavement
or staying in a capsule hotel.
Well and truly boring!

The two-party system may be flawed, but they are not equally compromised. One still believes in democracy; the other embraces authoritarianism. Pretending they’re the same only accelerates the collapse of what’s left of our republic

Oh I agree, and I certainly don't think they are the same.
Sometimes too similar.
But my argument is that no other modern democracy has only two parties, which cannot possibly cater to a wide range of beliefs or ideals.
Multi party and coalition is the best check and balance.

Federal Agents Shoot Woman In Brighton Park, Causing Tense Scene With Protesters The woman "rammed" her car into a car being used by agents, the Department of Homeland Security said. But a watchdog group said it was federal agents who caused a car crash and used "brutal tactics."

A woman was shot by federal agents Saturday, the second person shot by the feds during Operation Midway Blitz in the Chicago area.

As with most things,
trump don't get law and order.
To solve a problem only he sees,
trump takes the most unqualified, unfit, racist thugs he can find,
give them a fancy uniform,
jackboots and a shiny badge,
and sets them loose on the streets to intimidate fellow Americans...
Brilliant idea?

VIDEO: Trump's tariffs, changing markets and what an uncertain economy means for you Eight months into Trump's second term, it's unclear what the larger impact of these tariffs will have on the economy. Despite that, the president keeps promising to roll out new ones.

Well,
colour me shocked.
50% extra taxes are banged on American imports,
and the prices go up?
I am truly amazed!
Who'd have thought it?
Things ARE gonna get worse, as trump fools himself and others that gdp growth is 3.8%,
when the REAL number for the YEAR is 2%.
Something is about to break!
Soon!

More of the same sadly.
How long are Europeans gonna stand around waiting for putins pet in the White House to do something?
The longer everyone talks about "after" the war,
the further away that looks.
Putin makes feints into NATO territory and basically nothing happens.
Time for positive action!

Alpha men love strip joints, porn , happy ending massage parlors and Hooters, because the women are paid to be nice to them, and it makes them feel like men. I have a lot respect for the women who work at these jobs, making a living lying to suckers.
