As Zach de la Rocha said: "what? The land of the free? Whoever told you that is your enemy"

There are many, MANY things i find utterly impossible to fathom in the US right now. But one, admittedly silly, thing is annoying me greatly. Why is the veep always referred to as jd? His name is James David/Donald Bowman/Vance or Jimmy D. Vance. What's up with the silly initials?

They got exactly what they voted for though. Let them bear the consequences. FAFO.

Yeah, I was feeling a little bit childish. United States of Trumpistan.

I don't know but we should. Why not? It seems obvious that the UST will not adhere to article 5 at this point. Besides, the UST is breaking international agreements left and right. I see no reason to uphold our end of the bargain while waiting for the criminals to come "rescue" us.

He did NOT do politics the right way. He WAS very successful organiser, but he was at his core a terrible man with abhorrent views. He created an unsafe environment for countless people. He did not debate, he created straw man arguments. He will not be missed, but he shouldn't have been murdered.

Not that anyone care about my opinion, but as a citizen in a NATO country: Feck off! While I agree with the statement: we should stop buying Russian oil, there is NO president that the orange-utan will keep his end of the bargain. Why should we listen to anything he or the US government says?

This looks awesome! Thanks a bunch😁 i'm going try this out .

So now that the taco potus is back in the tariff-kitchen, how long until he chickens out again? My guess: 2 weeks, is there really any other time frame?

Mamdani's primary victory gives me some an inkling that there might be hope for Trumpistan after all. Fingers crossed that this not a blip😬

Caller Roger doesn’t hold back in his reaction to US strikes on Iran.

I can recommend scuba diving. There is a special kind of relaxation in watching aquatic animals being awesome in their natural environment.

Good night ✌️, dear people at #Bluesky💙💛

This was a great day for #Ukraine, #Europe for all of us!

May the Force be with Ukraine -

this night and the days to come ❤️‍🔥 until it has fought the evil and is finally free.

Happy election day Canada! Vote the Trump away today!

I know many others are making this point but Trump wearing a blue suit to the pope' funeral when explicitly instructed to wear black is just tacky and crass. Where is Brian Glenn when we need him?

Going by that logic(?) why are poor countries being punished. When will don and co understand that all countries loses in a trade war? Probably never...

Our pm and finmin visited Trumpistan yesterday. Donald obviously believes that Norway can afford paying tariffs because we have a large swf and 0 debt.

So much winning. The tangerine tariff man continues to make America great... Arrows pointing down is good isn't it?

Corelation is not causation, BUT... I can't imagine how revolted Pope Francis must have been...

I mean, it's not like we didn't point out that a loudmouth drunkard with poor impulse control and a history of abuse wouldn't make a great SECDEF...

@timmiller.bsky.social welcome to bluesky.

Nope, tariffs aren't always bad if you use them to protect young industries. However, they almost always BECOME bad because they are impossible to get rid of. Also, in order for tariffs to work it needs to be coupled with policies that incentivices production and job creation. Trump offers nothing.

It's a very strange sensation, almost like mourning, that it's unsafe to visit the US as a Norwegian citizen. It's a shame, I genuinely like so much of what the US has to offer but almost anywhere is safer now. We watch in horror as our friend and guardian descends into madness and authoritarianism.

I sleep pretty well at night knowing the richest man in the world can be triggered by a Florida man and a Substack post.

Last night,Russia launched a very deliberate&demonstrative massive strike on Odesa: that's the ceasefire you get.
This is very usual for prison culture:to beat up& kill demonstratively.

I will repeat the facts once more:
Russia is a terrorist state.
Putin is a war criminal

Detentions Of European Tourists At U.S. Borders Spark Fears Of Traveling To America Since Donald Trump took office, there have been high-profile incidents of tourists being held for weeks at U.S. immigration facilities before being allowed to fly home.

My decision to not visit the USA while Captain Bone Spurs is in charge seems like the right call.
