There is no freedom without justice. There is no justice without law. There is no law without police. So, there is no freedom without police. Which is not ideal, but just a fact.

Trump's doing well isn't he? And the US market is doing worse than almost anybody else.

I am going to have to go back to Twitter. I disparage others for wallowing in their echo chamber, yet my position on anything I strongly care about is rarely challenged here. I might even join the Trump thing. I want to cure the idiots. I hate them making money out of me. But how else to educate?

When Trump was flip-flopping around erratically it was bad enough. Now he seems to have decided on a course of action, and managed to make things even worse. A clueless powerful arrogant narcissist is a disastrous thing.

Trump wants NATO members double the proportion of GDP that they spend on defence. At this rate, they won't have to spend any more on defence to satisfy him. All they have to do is to wait until he's halved the size of everybody's GDP.

And when Trump completely mucks up the US and world economies, like he has with so many of the other things he has run, he won't be able to declare bankruptcy and start again with another USA and another world, or fall back on Daddy's money, or lie, cheat or extort his way out of the mess.

I learned a new word today: redneckonomics this is what Trump is practicing. Redneckonomics is to economics what astrology is to astronomy or quackery is to to medicine. The United States is going down the pan with these imbeciles in charge.

“Beautiful thing to watch.”

Trump and his court's superpower is that they can tell any lie, no matter how false or shameful, with complete conviction and absolutely not compunction. They are astonishingly good at this, and so their strategy, even though it is built on lies, is hard to defeat. This should be acknowledged.

Repost if you agree that, all across Europe, governments, institutions both at national and EU level should grow a spine and signify to the current US administration "allies don't behave like bullies while cosying up with Europe's aggressor (Putin)" Trump Administration persona non grata in 🇪🇺
