OK I'm starting to wonder if hes actually lost touch with reality. lying about the debt is one this. Those are numbers on screens. But now hes promising $2000 to people? The US already has a $1.7 trillion deficit this year.

The US Treasury just designated the President of Colombia, his wife and son (???) and the Colombian Min of Interior. Things are really spinning out of control. We're getting SDN kingpin designations against the first family of US ally over public spats.

Debate-bro final boss. Netanyahu says the same 6 or 7 things in every speech. Anti-Islam stuff, Iran, Western civ, some contrived US cultural reference, etc. If you've heard 2 or 3 of his speeches, you've heard them all.

Trump is bailing out Milei because its a hardline ideological project whose discrediting would be damaging for austerity advocates globally. Its bad policy. You're pouring money into a leaky bucket.

I know this is supposed to be a joke. But this is literally the German claim on why they should be seen as an authoritative voice on genocide.

World politics is dictated by the whims of one man to a historic degree. That one man just said he brokered peace between "Aber-bajan and Albania".

Temporary withdrawal of ambassador while the embassy is still operating under a Charge de Affairs is what happens when you have a minor diplomatic skirmish. They should have said nothing at all.

JPMORGAN: “.. Today’s import prices came in slightly above expectations .. “.. The lack of any substantial decline .. reinforces our expectation that the bulk of the tariff increase so far is being borne by domestic producers and consumers.” 🤡

This is really going to be a problem, especially with the escalating visa bans/partial bans on dozens of countries that seems like its eventually going to cover the vast majority ofthe third world.

The most French thing I've ever seen: I was on a train from Lyon back to Geneva and this dude just took out a baguette, a small block of cheese and a small knife. He started cutting slices of cheese and bread, and eating on the train. I think that was his lunch.

I never understand why Saudi does this. Are there a lot of Andrew Santino fans in Riyadh? Is this for locals or laid-off Noem engineers? Maybe Chris Tucker can finally explain the Epstein stuff. Its too obviously a propaganda move to have benefits.

Taiwan is investing in illegal settlements in the West Bank to buy favor with the Israel lobby in Washington. Their claims arent based on principle but state survival.

Gunboat diplomacy is an American tradition in Latin America. It is interesting that every time the issue of drugs is raised by the US, its a pretext for something geopolitical, same with fent tariffs.

Like you I've seen all the pics people post here abt the steady increase of tacky gold crap he keeps adding to the oval office. But somehow it wasn't until I saw this picture that it just hit me. What the actual fuck. Like a Vegas whorehouse.

Yglesias has been on an epic crashout in the past 24 hours, desperately trying to convince everyone (and himself) that since he doesnt care about genocide, no one else does either. Its all just a sick powerplay - apparently.

So basically JP Morgan is expecting Fed to lower rates (asymmetrical reactions function). That seems to be consensus. I'm not so sure. What happens if the new inflation numbers out tomorrow morning put inflation above 3%?
