Once more I suit up in biohazard gear and slip into the dark realms of the orange leader's mind:

"Well, tariffs are good. They may cause some pain to some people for some time but not too long. Probably just a few weeks. Maybe even days or only hours. I invented those, you know--days and hours--before I thought them up we only had weeks. But I think so fast that I needed smaller chunks of time so I could get more done and that's why I thought up days and hours.

What? Why do I keep turning the tariffs on and off? Hah! For once a good question from a reporter. Talk to me later--we might have a job for you. A lot of people think I can't make up my mind but really it's all about money. I'm the president so I can tell one lie and make the stock market drop, and then I tell another lie and make it go back up. It's like a yoyo and I'm holding the string. Every time it goes down, me and my billionaire friends buy stocks. Then I make it go back up and we sell the same stocks. So think of the tariffs as strings and I'm pulling and dropping and the millions just rain down. I don't really give a shit about tariffs. I mean they are great, but right now I just use them to get richer.

What? No we're not saving any money by firing government employees. We're just doing that to show we're in charge and we can do whatever we want. Remember I used to have a TV show and I fired people. It was fun. Also we're going to do another humungous tax cut for rich people so firing people makes it look like we're saving billions. Whaddya mean you've gotta go? Your canned oxygen is running out? What the hell does that mean? Hey, come back here! I've got more stuff to talk about!"

Another harrowing interview by your intrepid reporter. It's not easy getting the inside dope from a dope, let me tell you!

EU sends more troops to Bosnia as Russia defends Serb leader

Halifax NS is looking for citizen input on social media.

They're thinking of dropping X/Twitter and shifting to BlueSky.

This is your chance to affect some change. Tell them Mastodon is where you want them. No oligarchs putting their thumbs on the scale, it's been here for years and is stable, no corporate enshitification cycle.

Tell them if they have to go BlueSky, bridge the muni account to Mastodon and the Fediverse.

Scary stuff. There was a huge Nazi sympathizer contingent in the US before WW II, even in the State Department. It’s never really gone away.

We’re seeing its resurgence. 😳

Denmark: 1850€/person

CBO Report: To achieve budget goals, GOP must cut Medicare or Medicaid

What are those goals?
-$4.5T in tax cuts for 800 billionaires & a few hundred billion dollar corps, many of whom only currently pay less than 5% tax

That's it. That's the GOP goal. Steal from the poor to fund their rich donors.

South Africa on Friday rejected a claim by multibillionaire Elon Musk that his Starlink satellite company could not operate in the country because he is not Black, and its telecoms regulator said Starlink had not applied for a license. https://www.yahoo.com/news/south-africa-rejects-musk-claim-171020864.html

Wall Street Journal board accuses Donald Trump of misusing law for tariffs , calls for lawsuit to block him

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5184045-wall-street-journal-donald-trump-tariffs/

In a complete reversal of National alliance and economic dogma, #Trump and #Republicans behavior appears to be now fully aligned with #Russia and #China.
If #Democrats fail to rebalance the US government in #election2026 then US Democracy is forever changed into a corporate oligarchy.
The remaining nations not aligned to Russia and China should join forces, make stronger alliances without the US to defend against the rise of the #Communist nations.

These “Trump betrayed me” videos are something else. The excuses people told themselves about why they were voting for fascism over democracy are really something.

Just be honest with yourself and admit that you just didn’t want to vote for a qualified Black woman, and so you didn’t.

"2 Days Of Clashes And Revenge Killings In Syria Leave More Than 1,000 People Dead"

A preview of #USA future. If #MAGAmoron elevates himself to king, the sane will revolt. If MAGAmoron is overthrown, this is how his rabid sycophants will react. Either way, the US is in for a world of hurt.
