#US #Trump #Tariffs #HeritageFoundation
#ShitShow

This is the absolute best: Bloomberg 4 min interview to Andrew Hale, Sr policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation, Yes, that one.
4 min demolition of Trump's tariffs in a factual ("if you have a capital account surplus, you must have
an equal and opposite sign current account deficit") and somewhat hilarious manner (what's he gonna do? "tariff the penguins in their manipulation of their pebble currency?")
Priceless

@HonkHase
Yeah, I have to admit, this doesn't come to me with any surprise.
#Microsoft has contracts with #military and military contractors, therefor it shouldn't be surprising, that any #tech in their #portfolio is open for sale, especially the dual-use ones. 😕

What surprised me in the last weeks, that #arabic family clans in #Gaza protested loud enough against Hamas, that (at least first) Al Jazeera ignored it, while international outlets seemed to pick it up.
But the #worst in my humble opinion that I didn't notice any loud response out of the other Arabic countries to support these protests, yet. I think this is equally irresponsible, as it looks like the definition of "collateral damage" the IDF takes into account on the behalf of the #israel government.

This whole #shitshow there is straining my tolerance for ambiguity to the max.

@StellaQuasten #vvd wil niet vallen op asiel, de #pvv is aan een duikvlucht bezig. En ondanks dat #yesilguz #scheldendeGeert in een kabinet heeft gerommeld, waardoor ze primair verantwoordelijk is voor deze #shitShow, gaat ze met verkiezingswinst aan de haal als ze het half april laat klappen op de begroting. Naar goed #vvd gebruik. Ze hebben tijdens deze periode de rijken rijker gemaakt en burgers, cultuur, en onderwijs bestolen. En kunnen daar na het klappen van #Wilders1 vrolijk mee door.

I couldn’t even make this shit up if I tried. These assholes are a fucking 🤡 show.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans:
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

ich hatte mir ja sehr bewusst erspart, das theater trumps und vances anzusehen, das die aus selenskis erniedrigung gemacht haben. insofern waren mir die audio-schnipsel neu, die im podcast abgespielt wurden. auch wenn es nur ein kleiner teil ist, vermutlich nicht der wichtigste, hat mich das ende dieser schulhofschläger-show trumps doch fast am meisten mitgenommen, der teil, wo er stolz prahlend die anwesenden medienleute fragt, dass das doch wirklich gutes tv gewesen sei, was er und vance da gemacht haben.

das lässt mich einfach nicht los ...
