“When the Trump presidency ends, the specter of illiberalism will continue to haunt American politics:
-A highly politicized judiciary -Racial division, cultural conflict, and political polarization
- Gerrymandering, voter suppression, and uncontrolled campaign spending
- Growing income disparity”

“Another key distinction is.. dislike of the modern world. Reform voters tend to be socially conservative, and that leads to a backward glance to a supposed golden era of empire and Victorian values. This is not unusual. ’Things ain’t what they used to be’ has become a policy, not just a complaint.”

Who’s have thought Reform would take advantage of a ‘Great Replacement’?

“Trump has always been an ignoramus who masks his intellectual shortcomings with bombast and declarations of his own brilliance, but his rambling nonsensical responses in .. the Time & Atlantic interviews tell a very different story.”
Trump, 79 in June, is the oldest person ever elected president.

„Bills for pet owners have risen as corporate ownership has increased - by more than 60% between 2015 and 2023, figures from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) show. This is almost double the rate of inflation or the increase in vet salaries over that time.“

„In a meeting in Beijing on Friday with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, Xi said that China and the European Union must join forces to promote globalization and “jointly resist unilateral bullying.”“
Agreed.

„Tesla has an ageing range of models and faces stiff competition from BYD, a company Tesla can’t compete with on price or charging speed. As a result, #Musk has moved Tesla into becoming a premium brand charging higher prices,[which he] trashes with his extreme right-wing politics.“
Genius? Or twat?

„The idea of a global company was built on the premise of open markets and politics taking a backseat to economic growth. That basic premise has collapsed. In the new Trump era, companies that fail to adapt to the new politically charged normal will face backlash and isolation..“ Welcome, #ElonMusk!

Vance: “There are thousands upon thousands of American troops in Germany today. Do you think that the American taxpayer is going to stand for that, if you get thrown in jail in Germany for posting a mean tweet? Of course they’re not.”
Oh. Bye then.

„The VAT debate has been blown out of all proportions for one simple reason: only 7% of British children go to a fee-paying school, but 44% of the country’s most influential journalists did .. and boy-oh-boy do they get cross when somebody corrects them.“

Extra tax receipts equal to 20% of the NHS budget, but
„the controversy is sensitive [because] the UK and its overseas territories are responsible for approximately one-third of global tax avoidance through firms moving their profits offshore, according to campaigners Tax Justice UK“

"They don't take our cars, they don't take our farm products. They take almost nothing, ..“
Too right, mate!
#Trump and #Musk are set to learn a painful lesson. It is an elementary economic truth that trade wars hurt everyone. Sadly for us all, they‘re not good at facts.

„DEI initiatives have also led to more non-whites achieving greater seniority in their jobs. Indeed, we have seen the highest pinnacles of society reached by people of colour, even as high as the presidency itself, which is currently held by someone who is #orange.“

DEI gone mad!
“When you look at the list of people who have held the position of President, there’s not a single one who has a criminal record. Nor have there been any who identify as orange. I think it’s significant that we’ve been able to redress that imbalance,” a White House spokesperson said.

„Trump retakes the White House and we will be ruled by nihilistic dorks, who pretend to speak for a working class they despise. Every cultist who Trump appoints to perches of seniority [leers] at the American people the same way the protagonists in Natural Born Killers looked at patrons of a diner.“

„die [Opel-]Werke in Rüsselsheim und Eisenach [sind] nicht ausgelastet sind. Schon 2023 lag die Auslastung in Rüsselsheim bei unter 50 Prozent. .. in Eisenach lag die Auslastung vor zwei Jahren schon bei unter 30 Prozent.„ :-o

„One can almost imagine Trump in a smoke-filled room, channeling his inner mob boss: "Nice little app you got there. Be a shame if something happened to it. How about you sell me a piece, and I'll make sure it stays... operational."“
How far from its ideals is the US going to stray?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. to Hegseth:
“Your record of gross mismanagement of organizations you previously led raises alarm about your ability to manage a department with a budget of almost $850 billion, which accounts for over half of requested discretionary federal spending.”
Fair point, eh??

„We are not naive. The security situation and the fact that strange things happen time and time again in the Baltic Sea also lead us to believe that hostile intent cannot be ruled out.

„Entre le milieu des années 1980-2020, les taux d’ intérêt n’avaient pas cessé de baisser, passant de plus de 10 % à 0 % - même négatifs. Mais, avec la fin de la pandémie de Covid-19 et la reprise de l’économie mondiale, les taux demandés par les banques sont repartis à la hausse.“ La fête est finie
