I told you guys, the Rapist trump's fate will be worse than Ghadaffi. Nude model Melania must have secured her passage to quick exile when the shit starts. I'm telling you, the Rapist trump will run away from the white house. This chaos is not sustainable.

IjeBos:
How many posts have you authored on homosexuality just today?
Ask yourself why a good percentage of your posts are related to that topic and why homosexuality seems to be at the forefront of your mind every day.

My initial impressions. It'll be short.
1. Elated about the historic pivot.
2. Execution is irrelevant.
3. A textbook win-win situation is pacing beautifully.
4. Trump succeeds and phenomenal growth is assured. Trump fails; Democrats step on the brakes in 2027 after taking the House. In 2029, they return with their signature tax and spend policy. Either way, asset prices will go to the moon.
5. Sometime back, Candy quoted a post of mine anticipating a crash. Well, Christmas came early.
6. -10% from highs is a rookie number. I hope it sinks to the 20s. And get as close to breaching 30. That's recession territory but this is a go big or go home sitch.
7. High-quality names will be fine. They can take the walloping.

I'll share a more detailed note on the economy mid next month when I find the time.
I'll also answer yours and raumdeuter questions. We're entering a target-rich environment. Opportunities yakpa.

Lastly, the universal natural law is adapt or perish. America is vending trinkets--freedom, rule of law, open markets and trust--that are past their use-by date. The post-cold war world has attained the age of majority. It does not believe in Santa Claus anymore.
A pivot (or at least an attempt) is unavoidable. A pivot is inevitably painful. A pivot will create wealth for savvy capitalists.

IjeBos:
The concerning this is that when he went after "Big Law", the media barely discussed it.
It should have been a flashing red warning sign everywhere.

If you can't get competent representation because people are scared for their business, you no longer have a functional Judiciary.

IjeBos:
Absolutely.

Freedom of Speech was that the cornerstone of US Democracy. The founders didn't want the Government pushinsing you for your views because they believed diverse views and debate were necessary for Democracy.

But Trump ran over that already. The minute he went after Big Law firms and Universities those firms and Universities acquiesced, it portended terrible things . If these big firms are scared to push back that doesn't say anything good for you and I.

Trump got more devious people around him this time. They had a plan to quelch dissent and instill fear in institutions that could stop him and is executing it. That's the reason he's going after universities and students. The protest and change movements usually begin in Universities. He's trying to bully the Judiciary now after Bullying Congress.

Trump defines what is anti-American, but the whole premise of what he is doing is UnAmerican and antithetical to what the founders envisioned.

Maeve7:
I know.

GloriousGbola:
you already do

you mention my name at least twice a day

if that is not some unrequited love, i dont know what is

LordReed:
You categorically claimed the tariffs would NEVER be applied to ALL imports. You even insulted me and claimed I didn't know Trump's plan. LoLz. You want me to show you?

Meanwhile are we not seeing the tariffs on all imports, at least from certain countries.

Trump has companies so your nitpicking is needless.

Which of these companies decided to move production to the US because of the tariffs?

IjeBos:
This is absolutely petty.
The guy is 84.

IjeBos:
I hope this picks up as the day goes on.
But wow.

djon78:
That's why Elon musk and his team are cutting costs via DOGE. Since Trump's inauguration they have cut wastes by 2 trillion dollars.

What they are planning is for American citizens to begin enjoying the social welfare EU citizens enjoy. They are planning to give every American citizen $5,000 as socials. They are selling gold green card immigration for $5million and it's already over subscribed.


See no country can match America economically. They have the cheating code for now. Trump and his Economic team are doing lots of crazy things behind. Moreover all his Economic team members are billionaires.

The US over the years have wasted collosal amount of money on wars in foreign lands costing US taxpayers trillions of dollars. Trump is cutting down on wars. That's why he's stopping the funding of Ukraine war.

US for now is the King. They have advantage that's what Trump and his team are Maximizing on for now.

Goke7:
Honestly, Trump deserves an Oscar for his lying propaganda machine The man is too much, just imagine claiming a small country like Madagascar is charging over 90% tariffs on American goods and people dey swallow am like that

LordReed:
You did:

DeepSight:
The worst aspect is that he doesnt even understand how tariffs work. A person who came to office pledging to fight inflation is flinging tariffs around when clearly that will lead to a spike in prices and the impact will fall on American consumers.

GloriousGbola:
gloriousg wuz ere and i saw the beginning of the end of an empire and the birthing of a new world order

america did a fanatic job of selling itself throughout the cold war. anyone who did not grow up in a country directly affected by US policies [iran, south chile, vietnam south africa ] saw america as a shining beacon of hope and freedom.

the first cracks appeared in the 2000s when america invaded iraq.
then in covid where, rather than step up to the plate, we saw a bunch of aggressive crybabies who would not sit in place

that was the republicans as well.

now in 2024, Donald trump and maga are finishing the job

the rest of the world will have to move in is all.

the meme is now reality

Reference:
The overall aim is just to bring production and jobs back to America, the first target being American owned companies making stuff abroad because of cheap labour (lower standards of living).

In effect he is saying to his people. Pay more for goods and services so your brothers and sisters can have more jobs and earn more on their existing jobs.

This is a fundamentally sound ideal for any country's economy but fraught with all sorts of minefields in practice.

It is exactly what the present Nigerian government has being trying to do albeit without the tools of sound economic control.

Acidosis:
This is just Trump prioritising made in America's products. The question now should be 'can Americans self-sustain?' I don't think so.

IjeBos:
Well done!

It is Liberation Day, everyone has to get something.
The Dolphins get shiny new tarrifs.
We get a shiny new Recession.

I really shouldn't be joking about this, this is really bad.

IjeBos:
Ha.

basilico:
Kindly get your information from http://doge.gov
Stop relying on biased media.

Its your tax dollars, yea.

Again investigations, arraignment and trial takes over a year in most cases.

I also believe Obama, Biden and Clinton who are getting 100% of the anti Trump cars will just throw them out at this juncture.

Maeve7:
Coco has introduced basic universal healthcare for all. You can claim whatever you want in Trump’s world. If we repeat it often enough, his supporters will start to believe it.

basilico:
More liberal madness.

House Bill 25-1309 prohibits health insurance plans from denying or limiting medically necessary gender-affirming health care services. Care is considered medically necessary under the bill if a health care provider determines it to be so .

Gender-affirming care, endorsed by both the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics , can range from non-medical interventions, such as haircuts and name changes, to services such as hormone therapy and surgery to support the patient’s gender identity. The bill focuses on medical care, including psychiatric, surgical or therapeutic supplies and services. It would also include coverage for cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries.

HB-1309 would block archived reports of testosterone prescriptions from view to protect the privacy of people who take it for gender-affirming care.

School policies
House Bill 25-1312, dubbed the Kelly Loving Act in honor of a transgender woman killed during the 2022 Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs, adds various new legal protections for transgender people in education, family legal matters, and public accommodation.

Colorado courts would be prohibited from complying with orders or laws from other states that threaten to take children away from parents or caregivers who allowed the child access to gender-affirming care. When a judge is hearing a child custody case, the court would have to consider deadnaming, misgendering or threatening to publish information related to an individual or child’s gender-affirming care as a form of “coercive control.”

The bill would require that schools, if they establish policies related to chosen names, must include all reasons that a student might choose to use a name that’s different from their legal name. Dress code policies must also not include any rules based on gender, and each student must be permitted to abide by any variation of the dress code based on gender.

Any form administered by a public entity that requires an individual to disclose their name would have to include the option to provide a legal name and a chosen name. If someone’s chosen name differs from their legal name, the public entity would have to use the chosen name on all subsequent forms.

Imagine a scientist was prevented from entering USA to participate in conference just because his phone was searched and immigration found texts exchange between him and another scientist criticising Trump. Criticising the president of the so called number 1 democratic nation is now a crime

IjeBos:
I don't think they've though that far.
And why would Europe spend on American weapons of war when they can build up their own industries on spend on themselves?
