I said it a year ago. New trade deals take 1-2 years to take effect, and as Donald’s presidency rolls on, we’re going to see the massive downhill consequences of his unilateral tariff bullshit. The supply chain is eventually going to route itself around, rather than through, the United States.

Not that he’ll care. He’ll have squeezed every last penny out of the grift before the consequences are passed on to the American people, just as Bush did with Iraq and the ‘Great Recession’ and Obama did with the bailouts and the foreclosure crisis.

I love that.

Good point. I didn’t read it that way.

And all Democrats will offer is sternly-worded letters in “opposition”.

No he isn’t.

The last year has proven that the Epstein class is untouchable here in the US. They may have to make some kind of symbolic gesture, like Larry Summers’ resignation, but that’s all it’ll be.

Good.

I’m sick of this indirect taxation bullshit.

Really does. Has Pablo Escobar vibes to it.

Any time I hear a story like this, all I can think of his how countries worldwide need to tax the billionaires more.

Don’t know much about this case, but that it has occurred twice appears to be pretty damning. Yikes.

Arrested on his birthday too.

Love seeing this creep go down.

Is that a serious question?

Also why we need government regulation of social media, because individuals will never self-regulate properly en masse.

HOLY CRAP IT’S REAL.

I didn’t believe it when I first saw it. FUCKING AWESOME.

Not settlers. That’s the sanitized language they want us to use.

*Raiders or *Murderers

Bastards also works. :)

All I remember of this woman was when she lost weight and Oprah was parading her around. What is it with Oprah and building careers for scumbags?

Clover Cup is an annual national roller derby tournament run by the Dallas Derby Devils every March. It’s great fun. Go support them and enjoy some games. :)

I used to be a derby skater but now I announce and travel for tournaments sometimes.

Facts.

Providing security in the way that Hitler’s people did in the early 30’s.

By showing up in numbers, starting fights, and then claiming to be defending themselves. A tried-and-true Nazi propaganda tactic, and I’m glad the French aren’t standing for it.

Far right meaning Nazi in this case?

I won’t cry any tears for dead Nazis.

“Civilizational erasure”

Europeans, you want to see erasure, come over here and drive through half the abandoned small towns in Oklahoma or Mississippi, where one rich asshole decided to move the business overseas and then the entire town fucking died. (I took the no tolls route to Dallas last year for a roller derby tournament, very eye opening.)

I hate these stupid, Nazi dog whistles, even more so when they’re coming from a Cuban toadie that Donald’s people would throw in a death camp in a second if they thought they could get away with it.
