Do you think the bargain bin fascists running the US are capable of original thoughts?

The US is getting away with it on the middle east. Israel is a cautionary tale about why doing on your own doorstep puts your civilian population a risk of retaliation.

Don’t tell him that, otherwise you’ll probably end up with an eugenics program.

At some point he is going to have to pick between them and his main sources of income.

I wouldn’t go that far. Looking from a distance, the US is starting to look a lot like pre-2022 Russia. The government abuses the letter of the law to go against its spirit, and courts get progressively stacked with pro-govermnent cronies. So, while you can’t expect a fair trial anymore, they are not openly ignoring the written law yet. Thus opens some venues of defense because the thugs on the ground often fuck up the paperwork.

Good Tsar, Bad Boyars. Even there the US is starting to sound like Russia

But China owns Russia, and I doubt they are happy with Putin’s pet peeing all over the place.

You don’t even need that much. At least at this stage, Trump is abusing existing laws as a sledgehammer against the economy. While Trump can veto new laws passed by “just” 50% of the Congress, they would at least have some leverage to pressure him.

Isn’t this dude a Senator? He can help end the stupid tariff war any time he wants. If he can grow a spine and bring 4 friends with him he can at least put pressure on his pals on the house of representatives.

Why is VAT so hard to understand for otherwise literate Americans?

China just needs to do what Trump wants and refuse to export things to the US for a week or two. That should be enough for the people bankrolling Trump to get rid of him.

How’s the leopard treating you, Bill?

The problem is that this is screwing the restaurants too, either through reputation damage or through empty tables if the scalpers don’t manage to sell the reservation on time.

So, what’s he going to do about it?

0% tariffs

Sounds reasonable, we just need to set some ground rules.

Free trade area with the United States of Chlorinated Chicken

Ha ha ha, fuck no.

The closest, at least outside of China, would be Dailymotion.

The Trump administration got a human trafficker in Romanian custody free for some vacations in the US. That’s the only thing I have to say about the US and people in foreign custody.

The US interferes with foreign custody regularly, both through legal and illegal channels. The judge will only accept the excuse if he’s dumb.

Revolutions need organization. Organization needs third spaces were people can meet, discuss, and organize. Most of the US has basically no third spaces outside of churches, and this is very much by design.

The thing is that when he says Soros he doesn’t mean Soros, he means something that would make him sound even more like a Nazi.
