We were cleaning Chinas clock economically. Many predicted they would surpass us by now, and they havenβt.
But this tariff stuff will close the gap. Idiots
Two things struck me in the 20 year change in whether other countries trade more with China or USA:
1. China took over the world market fast; and
2. Trump has to be one of the STUPIDEST people ever to go after 3 of the few remaining countries that trade more with US: Mexico, Canada, & Greenland.
The media showed every Trump rally but wonβt show a single Bernie Sanders rally. Now that we control the biggest independent news network in America we will flip the script and show every Bernie Sanders rally, like the last one on Sunday in Altoona, Wisconsin youtu.be/2StnaGCQPCI?...

Guess he didnβt realize it was caught on camera. No one yelled at his kid, and they didnβt follow them.
Vance & Musk need to quit using children as shields. The public isnβt backing downβwe want answers.

Or, as Anti-Choice, Handmaid's-Tale-Aspirants call it: "All Lives Are Precious Day."

What Mike Johnson is calling a "clean CR", i.e., funding bill, is really an Elon licensing deal, free 6 months to keep up his wilding spree which has already gutted the VA, slashd social security, cancer cure research and more. Johnson needs Ds help to pass it. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/will-...

This affidavit, filed by a former Social Security employee in one of the DOGE cases, reveals a shocking exposure of personal info to DOGE operatives & possible compromise of parts of the system. Everyone should read this. Start at para 9. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

oh wait, Donny canβt call up the Aviation Safety Committee β because right now, thereβs no one at the other end to pick up the phone. Donny canβt get the answers heβs demanding because thereβs no one left in government with the expertise to figure out what the fuck just happened. the stupid shit fired them all.

When you suddenly start tearing through the air safety bureaucracy with an ax after two decades-plus of near perfect US commercial air safety any plane that suddenly careens out of the sky is probably on you.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and itβs your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They arenβt firing for a reason.
@secrubio.bsky.social is a good example of how weak and cowardly most Americans are these days. They want to surrender in a war they're not even fighting.

Pretty easy to see how Musk's tampering -- which, after all, destroyed the value of Xitter in quick order -- will crash the US financial system via one or another means.

23.01.2025 13:45 β π 420 π 32 π¬ 3 π 0The J6 pardons are legally authorized but constitutionally unpardonable. Their issuance is a βhigh crime and misdemeanorβ within the meaning of the Impeachment Clause because it is a clear abuse of presidential power. Sadly that power was neutered by the Senate during Trumpβs two impeachment trials

They're the ones calling it out, refusing to bend the knee, and reflecting the righteous anger of America against the broligarchy.
Without a private right of action, only the U.S. attorney general will be able to bring Section 2 cases, effectively gutting the Voting Rights Act.
23.01.2025 12:30 β π 227 π 77 π¬ 6 π 3Gonna repeat, again, that to cover Trump second term, legacy media should move about half their White House beat journalists to track Trump Co's financial statements full time. It's more important and more reliable.
