Call it what it is: the Trump recession

complete batshit insanity

When asked what concessions he won from Russia on Ukraine, Trump said that they agreed not to take over the whole country & to stop fighting if a deal. This is like getting the guy who stole your car & killed your kids to agree not to rob your house & kill your spouse if you let him off the hook.

The fact that there might be a conclave so close to a movie about one has really motivated me to finish my screenplay "The Tech CEO Who Died of Diarrhea So Explosive The Coroner Said He Had No Lower Back to Speak Of"

Trump says the U.S. and China are ‘actively’ discussing tariffs. China said that's 'fake news.' When will MAGA realize they are being lied to by Trump daily? abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

Pete Hegseth installed a make-up station at the Pentagon. JD Vance loves a smoky dark eyeliner. Trump cakes on orange base till he resembles an Oompa Loompa. And these guys say LGBTQs are threatening gender norms?

Trump is once again attacking President Zelensky (never Putin) — this time for saying that Ukraine won’t recognize Crimea as Russian territory. Donald Trump is a Russian asset.

[942] Bank holiday update: a couple of new hubs opened over the last few days. Doncaster has a new Gridserve x5 next to Greggs at Wheatley Retail Park, Weston Super Mare has a new SSE x10, and best of the lot is a new Ionity x11 in Nottingham. Filed under mildly interesting umap.osm.ch/m/9709/

The lies are coming faster and more desperately these days. Keep pressing, friends.

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

Marco Rubio says that Americans living in Europe shouldn't ever have to face any ramifications for their political speech online. The chutzpah is jaw-dropping, as he is PERSONALLY trying to deport legal immigrants for their political speech in the United States.

Still amazed by the speed of America’s descent into a gangster state and the brazen corruption of the Trump regime as documented by @anneapplebaum.bsky.social Yet many journalists continue to cover Trump as if he’s a ‘normal’ president… open.substack.com/pub/anneappl...

Witkoff: Russia is ready for peace in exchange of 5 Ukrainian territories. Zelenskyy: “Only the people of Ukraine can speak about the territories of Ukraine, representatives are discussing issues beyond their competence,”

💔

Tomi Lahren: "Trump has managed to isolate China from the rest of the world." BTC: "There's reporting now that Japan & South Korea are negotiating trade deals with China... the EU is eliminating Chinese EV tariffs. I'm concerned you're not familiar with which country is being isolated."

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Word of the day is ‘bugiard’ (17th century): one who distorts the truth beyond all recognition to fit their own agenda.

I have lived through unstable economic and political times before. Tariffs and isolationism are breeding grounds for fascism. We are at strong risk of repeating history.

This is kind of amazingly fucked up... Another one worthy of your attention, @mrjamesob.bsky.social

It’s been fascinating to see the “law & order” crowd take so quickly to “ignore the judges and the courts.”

Absolutely in agreement, Ian.

This is a Hitler-screaming-in-his-bunker-at-generals level of lunacy

Disney, do better.

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off. That's what blackmail looks like. That's what the world is up against.

Had Donald Trump been elected president 80 years ago, he would have ordered American troops to do a 180 on the Rhine and to attack the British, Canadians, and French with the help of what remained of the Wehrmacht and Waffen SS.

What happened to Little Marco?

You can’t script this better.

The SNP pops the champagne corks as Anas Sarwar self-destructs with an absurd Mini-Musk tribute act. Net result: more fuel in the independence engine. If Scottish Labour wants to survive it has to get rid of Sarwar now. My @heraldscotland.bsky.social column www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

The @principlesfirst.bsky.social conference was just evacuated due to a bomb threat. This is after Enrique Tarrio and members of the Proud Boys showed up and tried to disrupt the conference yesterday.
