Make no mistake, it wasn't an 'accidental' deportation, it was a test. Failing to abide by a court order sets up the precedent to ignore future court orders. This is not a drill.

The Art of the Deal. Trump isn't flexing on the world for America's benefit, but for his own. You know this, because you know who he is: who he has always been.

Something wicked this ways comes? No. It's already here, alive and kicking. America, you have a dictatorship. Not fully formed, not locked in, and it's not too late to nip it in the bud. But you have very little time. Fight, fight, fight!

America: fight. Fight like hell. Because if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a democracy anymore.

The whole world will be looking at China as the better trade partner now. Given a choice of dealing with one of two dictatorships, the more stable one must be the better option.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." - President Lyndon B. Johnson

This market manipulation story: it's possible that those who knew about Trump's tariffs in advance could have shorted the US stock market before the "liberation day" tariff announcement. Like Nutlick, who ran Cantor Fitzgerald for nearly 30 years. He must have known how the markets would react.

This is a hell of a read. These people (Facebook) are not just careless, they're dangerous. I am now fully convinced that there should be stringent regulation of social media, at a global scale. And there should have been, a decade or more ago.

To Recap: You can commit a crime by negligently divulging military secrets, in violation of the Espionage Act, and you will not be arrested. But if you have an autism awareness tattoo to support your autistic brother, you will be kidnapped and sent to a concentration camp in another country.

A "trade war" is an act of aggression: a war by other means. In the introduction to his major work, On War, Carl von Clausewitz wrote his most quoted dictum: ‘War is nothing but the continuation of policy with other means’ (Clausewitz, 1993:77).

The "Christian" right and the Nerd Reich broligarchs have three things in common: 1. White supremacy 2. Thinking that Trump will do their bidding. 3. Billions to spend I want to see them fight, and destroy each other.

They let Biden run for a second term. That was the red flag: the warning sign of obeisance and incompetence.

Could Trump's narcissism save Ukraine? 🤔 He has buddied up to Putin, thinking that's how he will get a deal. But Putin won't play Trump's game, won't give him the ceasefire. What does the narcissist do next? He shows the other guy that he should be respected, and if not, then feared. QED...

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

To all the Democrats and non-MAGA republicans, who are foundering in this moment: 90 million eligible citizens didn't vote for your presidential candidates last year. More than voted for either. THAT'S ON YOU: your 2 party duopoly; gerrymandering; electoral college; dependence on funders, etc, etc.
