I’m kind of surprised he didn’t go with today so when everything blows up in his face he could use the “I didn’t really mean everything I said about the tariffs being beautiful, it was just an April fools day joke and everyone should have known that” defense.

I try to imagine what it’s like for her to go home and look in the mirror, or at her family, just as a thought exercise, and I honestly can’t even comprehend this type of human. Just vile.

The point, besides the dissonance, is to portray power Power that is total that cannot be defied no matter how destructive or demented. Fascism relies on the psychology of cognitive authoritarianism to portray the leader as one who cannot be challenged. Despite 158 lawsuits bsky.app/profile/atru...

If "Liberation Day" means substantially raising the prices of everything from produce to Dollar Store items to electronics to automobiles I don't want to be liberated, especially if it's by a clueless cretin in the White House who is living like a king and thinks that he's a king! Fuck you Trump!

Donald Trump does not only like deals, but also heavy noise, threats, smoking guns, bombs & total trade war. But obviously he has never heard of "ACI" (anti-coercion instrument). Warm regards from Brussels and keep your eyes & ears open! Uschi's message includes #EuropeFirst, but that's not all.

Soooo. CPB and importers will just immediately absorb and implement this tax on the on the fly? I guess trump is trying to exceed the level border chaos he created during COVID when he said all the borders are going to close to air travelers.
