It's truly frightening whats going on. But it's not fascism, oh no. It's just the 'will of the people'... Just populism. I wonder when the penny will drop among certain quarters of electorates that their fear of the foreign has been played on to gain power for selfish people that only want to enrich their pocket and ego?
What people fail to realise is that America cannot sustain a foreign war unless there is something in it for them, ultimately they lost Vietnam because voters didn't see the point in it. They only entered WW1 and 2 because they were directly attacked - remember German declared war on THEM in WW2, otherwise we'd still be waiting for them now. There is, and has never been, any altruistic motives to American military interventions or deployments anywhere especially in which Americans might die, ever.
One of the biggest myths is that Americans abolished slavery. They didn’t, they just moved it to prisons. It still happens
This from the official White House X account: https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/1918502592335724809?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^tweet There are no words.
This is ridiculous, arguing and being very petulant with a journalist because he apparently can't understand that the "MS13" on this photo is very obviously overlaid and not actually on the bloke's knuckles The journalist is very generous - offers him multiple ways out but he just carries on doubling down...
Trump has today told the department of prisons or whatever it’s called to reopen Alcatraz. That’s despite the fact it cost 3 times as much to run as other federal prisons when it was open, it would cost a fortune to make it operational and there is capacity in the existing prison system. What a deeply disturbed cretin he is.
Complaining about the new mission impossible film being filmed in the UK. Saying there should be a tariff on films made outside of the US https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/...m-industry-hollywood-tax-relief-b1225939.html
He's a moronic child. As someone said above he's like a 12-year old in a position of power. He has no concept of history, no concept of morality. He's all about power and bullying people and countries so they fall in with whatever whim he happens to be indulging. He's a narcisstic, failed businessman, liar and rapist. And.....surprise surprise loads of Americans still think he's great. Says a lot about lots of Americans.
Says a lot about people in general really. Ironically (or intentionally) he continues to help China in one of their long term goals. To weaken the bond between the US and Europe.
I've copied this from a Facebook thread about business life in the USA now tariffs have been imposed. It's a very sad indictment. Please take some time to read it. "From another account. It's not just about shortages and higher prices. It's also decimating small businesses all over the us. And layoffs.: "Yesterday I posted a clip from my friend Barry Barr, the founder of KAVU clothing brand who’s 32yr old business is under serious threat of collapsing because of the new tariffs Today, I received a private message from a friend in California (who asked to remain anonymous) who is shutting down his 20yr old business, that employs over 150 people, because of tariffs. But it gets worse. When he shipped his last container of goods from China to Long Beach, there were 10% tariffs on Chinese goods. He was willing to absorb that. He has over three dozen dealers around the USA waiting for his goods- dealers whose very existence relies on suppliers like him. For half of them he’s their main supplier. Between when the container shipped, and its arrival in long beach, tariffs went from 10% to 145%. The result? He owes the U.S. government over $150,000 for this shipment. He has cancelled his second container that was due to leave China just days after the 145% tariffs went into place. That would be another $150,000 he’d owe the U.S. government. To be clear, China does not pay these tariffs. That’s an outright lie. It’s complete ********. And Trump knows it. The American business pays it. Not China. So he has $100,000 worth of goods sitting in Long beach, and another $100,000 of goods sitting in a port in China, both of which he’s already paid for. So what has he done? He’s walked away from his business, and the shipments in both China and long beach, and cancelled all his other orders, several of which he’d already paid the manufacturing deposits. None of his customers will accept a 145% price increase. That would make their purchase price more rhan double the current retail price. And he’s not about to throw good money after bad money absorbing that kind of loss. So yesterday he laid off all 150 employees, one of which just had twins and needs the job, and closed his doors. He called a meeting, explained what happended, and sent everyone home. He’s abandoned both shipments, and informed his dealers. Some of the dealers will likely also close because these are goods they desperately need, and most of their other suppliers are facing the same problem. That’s several dozen American businesses, with dozens of employees each, and decades of building their business, that will close. In a snap. Just like that. Because Trump doesn’t have the slightest idea how the economy functions. And if he does understandnd, he just doesnt give a **** about Americans and American businesses. My friend? He said he’ll survive. He has some real estate and some savings. He’ll default on the million dollars in loans the conpany has from severall banks. That’s their problem. They can’t touch him personally. What happens to the two containers? When I asked he said “it’s no longer my problem”. This is what half of American voters wanted. They voted for this and they continue to support this. If you still support Trump, let me put this in the planest terms. You’re a ******* moron of galactic proportions. This is just the beginning."
Would anyone on on the bbs kowtow to this cretin? Surely someone somewhere inside the gop has a spine.
