Hope this falls through. Any trade deals that allow the US to circumvent Trumps policies and thus keep his regime going is bad. The big crash needs to happen before people are motivated to fight back. The slow frog boil is what led us here to begin with.

Don’t care about the grand casino lines and neither should you, unless you look at the fancy lines you personally invested in.

The bigger coming bomb will be when those tariffs actually catch up with domestic consumption (going down hard because no one has money anymore to pay for all of this), leading to mass layoffs, leading to even more reduction in consumption because even less people have money, leading to more layoffs, leading to… Mass austerity that will eat up the savings reached by dismantling the government, because of the brutal tax losses for the remnants of said government.

I’m sure China would send us those for free.

You guys seen the entire list?

This is the king demanding tribute from ALL his vassals.

“Leave” from public view. That is all people on the right ask of Musk. They are okay with his interference and interventions. He just makes himself too much of a target by being publicly visible.

You can’t be the shadow government when you’re exposed to sunlight. Then again, the brain behind the entire operation never stepped out of the shadows and will remain there. Peter Thiel.

Thanks for typing out the percentages, so far I’ve only seen emotional news reports about it without any detailed info.

Are these tariffs on ALL goods from a certain country? Eg, does 34% on China mean 34% on ALL Chinese goods or just certain ones like cars?

Well, one of two things will happen now.

• The US economy will recede by roughly 30% over the coming years (classified by economists as “catastrophic collapse”)

• It will turn out that trade was “fake and gay” all along and autarky is the way to go, despite centuries of historic lessons to the contrary.

Take your pick.

Like in the olden days. You raid a village with the boys and rape.

Obviously joking, though keep in mind that warfare and the subsequent rapes was usually how nations kept populations up. Plus, families have more children the poorer and more devastated an area is for some reason. So…good news! We will all have a goth GF in post-apocalyptic America.

If you use anything but TOR together with spoofed VPNs for “activism” against a government that would jail/kill you, you are being reckless.

If you use X for your activism, you’re not an activist you’re a fed honeypot.

Typical Roman suppression against Illyrians again. Tsk Tsk.

Lol, no.

Alt-right is already declaring her a martyr and firing up their base. Even Russia chimed in, proclaiming European democracies as fake now. With absolutely zero self-awareness. Navalny-who?

If it is determined without a doubt that he’s an Agent, the government he spied for will be contacted to see if there are any deals to be made. If not, he will simply be prosecuted and jailed for later use. The fact that he is prosecuted and why will be made public, but the actual prosecution not for national security reasons.

Alright this is knee-jerk speculation, but the only reason I can think of for the FBI collecting evidence like this (the moving boxes) and the university not saying anything, is because it was determined Prof. Wang is a Chinese agent. It’s very unlikely ICE would come after professors, could do it silently, and someone in an area of expertise that is highly sought-after would be deported at all. And they wouldn’t include the FBI either.

America’s involvement was never secret though. And it should have been a lot more (more involvement, not “more secret”).

Based Chuddah. Nothing ever happens.

That dude is less funny than Trump himself.

No tinfoil needed, but keep it because you’re right and the government might microwave you to death now.

Do you remember how and why JD Vance was picked as Trumps running mate? Despite you know…everything Vance said about Trump before then? Donald barely even knew him. But his son did. Via Thiel. They will 100% get rid of Trump if he ever steps out of line, and he knows it.

When Canada started investigating this, Trump started his threats of invasion.

Just in case you still don’t know who the actual president is.

“President died of excessive flatulence! Vice president JD Vance vows tough retaliation against Big Farta (and Iran for some reason)” would be the correct headline for this clown world timeline.

I support that decision. What kind of jokes could a comedian make about all of this? About the resurgence of an autocratic state on the ruins of one of the first modern democracies?

Maybe a conservative, MAGA comedian could do it. But those don’t exist. Ask yourself why.

Dozens of them! I’m sure that makes her feel better during her daily waterboarding session.
