Obviously. He said it himself: “I couldn’t care less”.

My desire now: The EU, Canada, China, India and Japan to create a free-trade zone between themselves. No US.

Americans will finally get a taste of the very high price associated with ignorance, irresponsibility and stupidity. Unfortunately many other nations will suffer too.

Fact: Trump has no idea whatsoever about the economy and practically all of his cabinet members and advisers are fringe lunatics. Americans will learn the high cost of electing incompetent and corrupt people to power.

Fascinating Universe.

In the US, the tide is turning. Great to observe. Enough is enough.

If I wanted to name a clear example of modern human stupidity, I would immediately say MAGA. Few times in History have we witness human stupidity on such grand scale.

DOGE is a clear evidence of ignorance, irresponsibility and human stupidity.

NEW: Here is Rachel Maddow's interview with Senator Cory Booker, fresh from his historic speech in the Senate: Watch: youtu.be/6G4mxBiEKQA?...

A liar of this caliber - without any ethics - should never have been allowed to touch US politics.

Crawford wins in Wisconsin! Get out of politics, Elon, you are a corrupt bastard but the people have spoken.

Wonderful.

At this moment of autocrats vilifying judges and the rule of law, lawyers can prove why they're lawyers. This is the time to stand up for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and for people under attack.

DOGE is the perfect example of a good idea - rationalizing government - done in the most imbecile way - stupidly and irrationally. Such is #corruptElon.

Project 2025, the actual blueprint for everything that Trump-Vance have been doing, was written by a set of fringe lunatic medieval spirited people associated with the Heritage Foundation and similar organizations. The document is one of the most racist, sexist and odd-ball texts I have ever read.

Such is reality in the US.

Well done, France! The US judicial system would be absolutely incapable of doing something similar to top politicians, as it is so far from serving Justice.

MAGA ideology develops out of ignorance, magic thinking and sheer stupidity. When people give up or are incapable of critical thinking, worldviews become superficial, black and white and definitely distorted. What a waste of human potential!

Fabulous work by Afonso Salcedo.

I have been writing a scientific book on Lasers for future Portuguese speaking graduate students. This is indeed a fun project.
