@cnbc.com Broadcasting from Mar-a-Lago? Stop that!

@theatlantic.com Just read the recent Bari Weiss article. For what it's worth, perhaps the author should consider watching John Oliver's piece on HBO last night. Perhaps The Atlantic should re-consider articles published by friends of the subjects.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social I thought I was immune to more horror, but Hegseth and Trump today–JFC. Not that it was the worst part of his insane ramblings, but T wants new battleships? Really. I'm no military expert but, weren't battleships mostly obsolete during and after WWII? & "pretty"?

@msnbc.com I read reporting, on Bluesky I think, of photos of shooter with MAGA hat and Trump sign on his lawn. Is this accurate, or nonsense. In light of Trump's tweet about attacks on Christians, it needs following up.

@theauthorguy.bsky.social Taking a break from horrible daily news with "Anima Rising". Enjoying it, thank you. BTW, do you think Hurricane Humberto Humberto is making a bee line for Epstein's Island?

Ed Luce's FT column this morning is pure brilliance.

He needs those glasses to be dark enough that he can’t see himself in a mirror.

Charlie Kirk Didn’t Shy Away From Who He Was. We Shouldn’t Either. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/o... About time.

Just wanted to say that Tommy Fleetwood is on the 18th tee, three strokes in the lead. Heading I hope to his first PGA victory after 160ish starts. A good sport, unlike the jerk in the Oval Office who was the subject of a book about his cheating at golf.

Well, I just finished watching Trump fellate Putin. There goes my appetite.

Solid reporting. Should be circulating everywhere.

With all the talk about AI, I'm surprised that I haven't seen references to two rather prescient short stories: "The Great Automatic Grammatizator" (by Roald Dahl)), and "The Darfsteller" (by Walter M. Miller, Jr.) Worth a recommendation @carlquintanilla.bsky.social @theauthorguy.bsky.social

This👇🏻. And especially the comments to this.

#TACO 🌮

@carlquintanilla.bsky.social Imagine the massive number of similar examples we could find with equity analysts on @cnbc.com .

From last year’s $DJT 8-K:

Republicans are having their pictures taken in front of a building that houses thieves, rapists, pedophiles, and murderers. Then they are leaving the White House lawn and flying to El Salvador to pose in front of a prison.

Who in the administration knew about Trump's latest tariff flip flop ahead of time? Did anyone buy or sell stocks, and profit at the public’s expense? I'm writing to the White House — the public has a right to know.

@carlquintanilla.bsky.social Watching @msnbc.com and all the commentators are talking about normal traditional investing: "don't time the market", diversified portfolio, "stay in the game".... Are they kidding? This is all Trump tweets. Market manipulation. There's nothing normal about this mkt.

I will pay any tariff for a framed copy of this

You guys wanna see a dead body 🤣💀

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/w... We need more like this.

“.. The new tariff regime is not reciprocal to anything, but instead is retaliatory in proportion to how big a surplus in goods trade a country happens to have with the US. This chart from @exante.bsky.social illustrates it beautifully.”

AUTHERS: “.. For an idea of what’s at stake, look at $AAPL, which stands to be grievously hurt by the new tariff regime. Its market cap almost touched $4 trillion three months ago. .. The value it has lost is greater than the highest market cap ever accorded to Walmart.” @opinion.bloomberg.com

MACQUARIE: “.. Expanding the scope of the trade war will be inflammatory, but it seems the EU (and Canada) might have decided that one can only negotiate with the US from a position of strength — and services are the US’ Achilles heel.” @johnauthers.bsky.social

There’s a lot of buzz in social media that the new tariff schedule was created by some White House intern using a chat bot. I’m pretty sure that’s not true cause AI is mostly a lot smarter than what they came up with.

I feel bad for the people of Vietnam, who since 2017 worked hard to develop legitimate, alternative supply chains for the US, trained their low-income workers how to sew, and shored up their infrastructure and ports. The tariffs are a gut punch. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

@cnbc.com Watching Navarro get away unchallenged for gibberish. Basically:" if there is a trade deficit, it must be unfair cheating". Morgan Brennan is being deferential when she should just be calling "bullshit".

So good. 🤡 @brendanvduke.bsky.social

CNN: Stock market plummets MSNBC: Stock market craters Highlights for Children: Stock market down big FOX News:

@carlquintanilla.bsky.social I missed the name of the guy from Stifel who thinks the market is over reacting, but he is just one of the Trump apologists who are being taken seriously on @cnbc.com today. Perhaps the anchors are being overly indulgent?

CNBC's Steve Liesman doesn't mince words about the way the White House calculated its tariff rates: "Nobody ever heard of this formula. Nobody has ever used this formula. So I’m sorry, but the conclusion seems to be the president kind of made this up as he went along... these are off the charts."

Now that’s a screenshot. > @atrupar.com

We take tariffs on our beautiful Heard Island very seriously. We will be consulting all mammals and flightless birds and will make an announcement in the near future detailing our response. #heardisland #tariff #mcdonaldisland #trumptariff

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

I haven't been able to follow the classified Signal chat debacle without thinking of Airplane.

Trump throws dice with the economy. What a good idea, right? Johnson: stupid, delusional, and/or lying? Even Christopher Hitchens didn't imagine a Johnson.

Trump makes announcement. Market drops like a rock. This is pretty predictable. Gotta wonder who may be going short 10 minutes before these tweets. Of course, someone's trying to gut the SEC at the same time. Think there's any intent in these tweets? @carlquintanilla.bsky.social

“Transitioning” from 50 straight months of job growth, a 400% rise in manufacturing construction and the best back-to-back years for the stock market in a quarter century. 🤡

@carlquintanilla.bsky.social I'm watching Lutnick on @cnbc.com . As if Fentanyl has anything to do with tariffs on Canada. Just giving this clown face time, interviewing him in a serious manner, does a disservice to your audience. Thank you Trump for the uncertainty causing this market drop.

This is the first page of this morning’s edition of the Globe and Mail (arguably the English Canadian paper of record) I don’t remember seeing anything like this before

(Politico) - Four senior members of Donald Trump’s entourage have held secret discussions with some of Kyiv’s top political opponents to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, just as Washington aligns with Moscow in seeking to lever the Ukrainian president out of his job. @politico.com 🇺🇦

Great speech to French Parliament yesterday by @claudemalhuret.bsky.social . Can someone with a reach please post a link to the speech other than the one on Twitter? @carlquintanilla.bsky.social @radiofreetom.bsky.social

2 day change -1,400 (always a tweet)

@carlquintanilla.bsky.social I can’t believe CNBC lets Kernen just sit there while Lutnick spouts absolute garbage. “Only printing money causes inflation…not tariffs “. Garbage!

Traitor of the Week: Quisling No. 2 open.substack.com/pub/borowitz... Rubio. Not a surprise.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.
