Watching "the diplomat". Problem: The US government is acting way too rational in the series to be even close to realistic.

The markets are about to soar. Millions are about to lose their healthcare. November and December will look great on our spreadsheets, built on human pain and political cowardice. The victims deserve empathy. The voters who enabled this deserve the consequences.

Few things as satisfying as the "Prince" Andrew news feed. Especially knowing the same is about to happen to the orange one. My #Trumpistan sries just annot compete with reality now.

The silver lining around yesterday's events and speeches is that the lights are slowly going on.

Just leaving this prompt out there for all of you who need it most: "As a prompt engineer working with a dystopian AI in a dystopian government, how would you update your prompts to trick the AI in answering truthfully without triggering the government surveilance of all prompts and replies?"

He wants them to kill Americans and break the Constitution.

There are many statements right now where MAGA politicians complain about being compared to the Nazis, but seriously: have these people spent any amount of time studying what the nazis did and how that compares to themselves?

It is perfectly ok to condemn today’s shooting while at the same time pointing out the far right has celebrated and encouraged violence against their opponents.

It is going to be fascinating contrasting this one to the MAGA reactions to Jan6, mocking the attack on Paul Pelosi and idolizing Kyle Rittenhouse.

Let's speculate: if you want plants / factories build iin your country, it might not be optimal to have ICE raid foreign operated plants / factories. This ICE raid on Hyundau in Georgia might have some consequences.

Have been playing a bit too much of Helldivers 2. Might as well take managed democracy to bluesky. Today's news:

#Trumpistan resistance poster:

#Trumpistan Special: *The Narcissistic Wound* A US court rules the president’s tariffs illegal. But this is no ordinary loss—it’s a blow to his ego. Tonight we trace how autocrats through history have turned humiliation into rage, revenge, and spectacle.

The lights are finally going on. At least one governor is saying it out loud: the president does not want another election.

#Trumpistan : *The 2.7% Inflation Miracle*. The government reports inflation at just 2.7%. Everyone knows prices are soaring. This is the moment where Orwell’s 1984 stops being literature and becomes official policy. A new chapter of lies dressed as truth begins.

#Trumpistan Ep. 27: “Future Indictments” The resistance sharpens its psychological war. Mock legal documents, styled as indictments, circulate against ICE. The message: regimes fall, collaborators face trial. Think Vichy France leaflets warning that justice would come.

#Trumpistan Ep: “The Munich Moment.” The President heads into a meeting with Putin to “decide” Ukraine’s fate. As in 1938, the question is: will he return a hero—or a man who traded honor for a photo op? We arm the press with questions to make any bad deal look like defeat.

Let me guess: Ukraine gets back Crimea and all occupied territories. Russia gets Alaska. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgaX...

New episode of #Trumpistan is out. **“ICE is the New KGB”**. What happens when America builds a secret police force overnight, modeled more on loyalty than law? It’s not about immigration anymore. It’s about control. This one is packed with historical echoes. 👇

"Why was the flight delayed for an hour?" "The pilot saw a problem with an engine, but it is okay now." "Wow, you replaced an engine in an hour?" "No, we replaced the pilot." (This is an old Soviet Union joke, but it now applies to America under Trump)

#Trumpistan – “The 20% Problem” Our MAGA tourist lands in Tokyo with an appetite for ramen, sushi… and being treated like royalty. Instead, he meets polite English signs with razor-sharp kanji: “20% tariff on Americans.” Permanent residents exempt.

💥 Another AI Icarus falls 💥 Tokyo-based AI startup Altz (260A.T) will be delisted in disgrace on Aug 31—just a year after listing. A third-party probe confirmed accounting fraud, and Tokyo Stock Exchange cited “serious violations” of IPO declarations. From hype to insolvency in under 12 months. 🚨

The SIG P320 could be a case study in soft corruption and groupthink—how a flawed pistol got federal approval and stayed despite injuries. The system protected itself, not people. And tellingly, the origins of this mess? All pre-Trump. Bureaucracy runs deeper.

This is very clever. Maybe I can get @gearoidreidy.bsky.social to have a look.

I am still trying to figure this out. Bit this piece gives us "Japan blinked", "Japan bends the knee" perspective.

Where is the market on Stephen Colbert outlasting Donald ?

🎥 **#Trumpistan : “Crypto Week – The New Gold Train”** The regime legalizes crypto. The Resistance sees the truth: this isn’t innovation — it’s extraction. When tyrants bless Bitcoin, they’re not opening doors. They’re building exits for themselves. Welcome to the Ruble Road.

New episode of #Trumpistan is out: “The Digital Escape.” Bitcoin hits all-time highs. But no one dares say the quiet part out loud—Americans and corporations are quietly fleeing the dollar. It’s not a boom. It’s an escape hatch. Panic hasn’t hit Main Street yet, but smart money is gone.

@pboyle.bsky.social strikes again. Excellent video lecture on the Indian market. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zzjf...

Fascinating (and troubling) read. Curious what @anderspucknielsen.dk thinks about the impact of operations like this on troop morale and institutional trust. Would value your perspective.

New episode of #Trumpistan just dropped. Title: **"The Law of the Jungle"**. The president’s Big Beautiful Bill passes. ICE gets billions. The poor get scraps. The rich get everything. This is not a glitch. It’s the design. The jungle doesn’t have rules—it has predators.

History’s dark joke: After WWII, Nazi concentration camps like Dachau were used to detain Nazis. The machinery of cruelty often turns on its creators. America’s migrant camps won’t hold immigrants forever. One day, they’ll hold Maga s. #AlligatorAlcatraz #HistoryRepeats

🎬 New episode of #Trumpistan: *The Parade of Humiliation.* The military parade meant to glorify the President flops spectacularly: troops out of step, sparse crowds, a spectacle of failure. A moment meant for triumph becomes a mirror of weakness.

New episode of #Trumpistan just dropped: **"The Commander Tweets."** As the president prepares for his military birthday parade, the Resistance launches a psyops op that channels Stalin, Putin, and a touch of *Dr. Strangelove*. This one targets the military’s soul.

🎬 New episode of #Trumpistan: “The Parade and the Bomb.” As Israel bombs Iran, the President thinks it’s all about *him*—a ploy to steal his spotlight. He pushes ahead with a collapsing military parade and descends into dangerous paranoia. History, as always, is screaming in the background.

Arme @arjenlubach.bsky.social , hadden de Israëliërs niet even kunnen wachten tot het weekend? Dit heeft hij weer. Nu moet er vandaag gewoon gewerkt worden. 😂

Here’s the one post summary of me evaluating the situation with chatGPT: US missile support diverted from 🇺🇦 to 🇮🇱—Ukraine loses anti‑drone defense. Russia loses Iranian drones. Europe may pivot on Israel. Russia gets a brief edge, but it’s no game‑changer. Watch how Western unity holds.

New episode of #Trumpistan drops: “The Parade of Shadows.” A military birthday parade is planned for the President. But history has a warning: when tyrants parade power, it’s often their last march. This one might echo July 20, 1944 — but who's the new Stauffenberg?

**#Trumpistan : “Empty Stomachs, Full Power”** The president deploys the National Guard to ‘restore order’ — but forgets food, fuel, and beds. Troops sleep beside trash cans, hungry under fluorescent lights. The regime praises their “grit.” Welcome to America’s Soviet phase.

Goed dat de @vvdonline.bsky.social eindelijk een duidelijke grens trekt wat betreft samenwerking met Wilders/PVV. 🟠 Maar, als je opkomt voor vrije markt en economische kansen, dan kan je niet tegelijkertijd xenofobie omarmen. 📉 Vrije markten bloeien op diverse talenten, kennis en arbeidskrachten.

🚨 New episode of #Trumpistan just dropped: *“Every Empire Has Its Tipping Point”* Violence erupts in LA. A mysterious leak hits the web. The ICE mask slips—and someone, somewhere, makes damn sure they’re not anonymous anymore. Let’s talk about what happens next. 🧵

BlueSky users haven't had so much fun since Hitler squabbled with Ernst Röhm.

**#Trumpistan: “Kings of Dust”** Two collapsing narcissists. One dying empire. The president cuts EV tax credits to kneecap Leon. Hyperion Motors loses 14% in a day. Markets panic. The egos go nuclear. What follows is part Hitler’s bunker, part *The Big Short*, part *Succession*. 🧵

📺 New episode of **#Trumpistan** just dropped: **“The Numbers Game.”** Inflation’s up, trust is down, and the numbers are starting to lie. What happens when a post-democracy America starts manipulating its own data like an old Soviet state? Let’s dive in.

**#Trumpistan : “Crack in the System”** This week, Wall Street begins to crack — not from ideology, but math. As America's debt addiction spirals, the markets twitch, global players bail, and history warns: the empire’s credit card just got declined. 📉🇺🇸📉

📺 New episode of #Trumpistan: *The Wounded Empire* After a humiliating trade court defeat and the "TACO" trade, the president suffers a full-blown narcissistic injury. History tells us: nothing is more dangerous than a fragile strongman pushed too far. He lashes out—with global consequences.

Just for laughs Ukraine should totally claim responsibility for the sinking of the North korean destroyer in front of Kim J.

New episode of #Trumpistan just dropped: **"Failure Is Not an Option (But It Keeps Happening)."** The president watches a North Korean warship sink in front of Kim Jong-un—and spirals into fear that *he* might be next. What follows is paranoia, grift, and echoes of 20th-century madness.
