Make it make sense: “The US relies on international capital to finance its budget and trade deficits. ….foreigners own $19trn of US equities and $7trn of government bonds, equivalent to 20%-30% of the market. Those funds are now fleeing for more predictable climates” -MoneyWeek

Oh. My. Sweaty. Soul. Melktert on Malva Pudding 🤤🤤 There’s being able to give yourself a blowjob, and then there’s this.

This seems poignant in the current climate….

Trump’s true colours: www.ft.com/content/3f95...

If there were ever any doubt as to whether Donald Trump is a white nationalist, this executive order should remove it entirely. Whether you like it or not, anyone who supports this is condoning apartheid. Sad times. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

The man who wrote this tweet has just been appointed by Trump as the Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs at the US State Department.

There comes a point in time when you have cut ties and accept losses if it means removing a toxic partner. United States needs the world. The world doesn’t need the United States. At this rate, Trump will isolate the US, defeating his own purpose of MAGA.

Is all this subterfuge? It’s nonsensical.

Politics, right?

My jaw dropped at this at first, but then reading it highlights the hypocrisy of some of the laws against women over in the US…. www.newsweek.com/mississippi-...

Why do American politicians involve their families? I understand the first lady playing a role, or partners of senior politicians, but why kids, in-laws, grandparents…??

They look like they’re heading to a funeral…

This is hilarious. Wonder what the Brexit voting “expats” will say 😂😂😂 news.sky.com/story/spain-...

Is it just me or does Melania Trump look perpetually pissed off?

24million NHS A&E attendances in 2024, that’s over a third of the entire population! What on earth are all these people doing??

If Elon Musk really cares about child protection, why is he also not calling out the high ranking individuals in Trump’s gang, why is he so focused on the UK? e.g. Matt Gaetz et al…

At least this time round the we didn’t see Beer Hall Putsch on Capitol Hill 🙄

It’s called State Capture and it’s been happening right under our noses.

“It is an irony that voters chose Trump because they were fed up with unelected bureaucrats. Now, we have the world's richest man, who has never been elected or held public office, effectively dictating the direction of congress, via his own social media site.”

When the Tories came to power in 2010, the UK’s debt was approx 64% of GDP. As of October 2024, this has risen to about 97.5%. Understanding there were shocks like financial crisis, pandemic, war, etc, but does it all really constitute a 33.5% rise?

I accomplished more in one month doing yoga than what I did in three years doing psychotherapy.

Apparently, Nigel Farage knows how to use social media; he’s very good at it, which is why he is reportedly so popular. The questions I have are: Why is he so skilled at using social media? What is it that makes young people listen to a frumpy old bloke in a tweed jacket?

This is a really good read from @realcarrickryan.bsky.social 👉🏻 www.facebook.com/share/p/1XU3... It’s a shame you don’t do long form posting on here, even though it’s a bit of a pain.

If clean energy becomes affordable, underdeveloped nations can leapfrog to renewable energy, skipping fossil fuels. Given the wealth amassed during colonialism from these nations, isn’t it a moral obligation to invest in clean energy to support their transition and ensure a fairer future?

As a South African, I get pretty miffed at Musk being referred to as a South African. He is as much a South African as I am a spacefaring gorilla 🦍

What now for Syria?
