The Trump Presidency 2.0

I just think its mother fucking hilarious to see ANY leftist no matter how far from the center they may be - using the word "oligarch" to throw shade at the right half of the political spectrum
For fuck sake give me a break. People dipping their toe into politics should try to have at least a teeny tiny bit of self awareness before even hinting that "oligarchy" in America is a sole source republican threat.

Some people watch the world unfold in front of them and yet still can't tell the difference between partisan political kabuki theater and a one legged hermaphrodite in a butt fucking contest.

At least thats the view from my foxhole - maybe I just have my sector stakes too close together.
 
Anti-Trump protests by supremely wealthy people in Sedona who fight against any multi-family or affordable housing development. Lols.
It's the same shit up here for our election and anti-Musk protests. The Liberal Party was in power for almost a decade with a rich white guy pretending to be a feminist. Now they have an even richer white guy that is obviously misogynistic and either ignores or belittles female reporters. They try to paint the Conservatives connected to Trump and push the Trump hatred to their rich white boomer supporters. Some of my aunts and uncles, are prime supporters.
His other supporters are the extreme DEI leftists. The same idiots protesting Musk in front of Tesla dealerships. And the masses of Hamas supporters.

Canada: We're a nation! We aren't America's 51st State!
Also Canada: Protests Trump and Musk.
 
Treasury secretary out here thumping the MSM. Well prepared.

Bessant is a savage. We have to grow out of the very real impacts of the last admin. It’s the only way.

Fifty (5-0) countries in the queue talking better trade- Taiwan aligning with US and offering 0% tariffs on microprocessors most notably. Oil prices below $60, first time in 4 years (Trump and Vance HUGE on energy). Cost down. Wages up. Jobs up. Interest rates down. CPI hot. These are *actual benefits* to the vast majority (most notably Gen Z, the hardest hit) of Americans fighting to buy a home or live day to day. Remarkable.

I said I thought the ‘tank the market devalue currency IOT refinance debt at a premium’ theory was copium earlier… but, uh, the economy (not the market) is waking up and signaling growth. Soooooo 7d chess? WTFK.

As an aside, I love the people who couldn't pass a JuCo (shout out to those of you who know...you old fucks) Macroeconomics course arguing with just about anyone at this point. Accounting 1 fucked you up? Maybe your grasp of global economics isn't what you think. Give it a week or two before you shoot your blood pressure to the moon. Cheer, jeer, but give it some time to play out.

Relevant.

You’ve been gaslit to believe China’s economy rivals ours. They are in freefall and that’s a great thing. The American gorilla is back.

China stocks crash, Hong Kong dives 10% in worst plunge since 2008 as tariff fallout spreads - The Economic Times

Now everyone say something nice about America.

EU is caving, is probably the best thing for the Canadian election. Conservatives want to negotiate a new trade deal. Liberal's want to cut away from the US. Also helps that the Liberal's are proven to be Chinese owned.
Keir Starmer bending the knee has been satisfying to say the least. I think you can draw a pretty straight line from JD Vance giving them a tongue lashing to their face to this.
 
I was being a bit cheeky about how we can play the back and forth all day. The bolded section should have made that clear.



I may or may not agree with a billionaire on a certain issue; that doesn't mean that I think they should get a pass on having an outsized influence on political machinations.

I don't like ANY billionaires doing the shit we see our tech oligarchs+others doing.
Well, not *all* day, the conservatives would run out of "oligarchs" in short order... ;-)
