WH OFFICIALS BEFORE TODAY: Trump’s tariffs are genius, we’re getting liberated, we’re bringing manufacturing jobs back to make America stronger WH OFFICIALS AFTER TODAY: Trump is a genius for lifting the tariffs that would have destroyed the economy, thank god he saved us from disaster

If the agent of an embittered KGB officer somehow won the US presidency and entered into the office bent on destroying the USA in its national influence, network of alliances, and the American people’s quality of life, what would he be doing differently?

Posting this extract from a lecture by John Maynard Keynes, speaking on the BBC in the middle of the Second World War, to every Labour cabinet minister

“McDonalds workers in Denmark make more than Honda workers in Alabama” is such a key point. It’s the institutions, stupid.

The idea that liberals are incapable of seeking accountability from authoritarians and criminals is so ahistorical. Nuremberg, The Hague, these were the creation of liberals, not leftist radicals

Once again: reject McKinley, embrace George

the reason the cultural revolution comparison has power is that like. it is really hard to think of another example of a country of this size completely blowing itself up for no reason other than boredom. literally why are we doing any of this

Lol @ everyone who tried to argue Biden’s economy was secretly miserable because of food prices or housing or whatever, while the country broke new consumption records

when we take back over we’re going to have to do some really bad things to some really bad people

It just really is impossible to not see this as the Mad King from Game of Thrones. Literally pressing the “Start a Great Depression” button and everyone’s too afraid to stop him

It was never about "The end of Civilization". It was about Tesla Dealerships in Wisconsin. He's not that deep.

Furious at the trade deficit I have with various restaurants

This administration is like divine punishment for getting an Econ degree.
