I, like many Americans, had the belief that the US could win trade wars because we've exported so much grain & meat for so long that the rest of the world couldn't grow enough food to feed itself & they'd HAVE to give in our trade demands. But that's an outdated belief. @sarahtaber.bsky.social

Today on @nicolesandler.bsky.social's show @emptywheel.bsky.social talked about Epstein & Lutnick & how Comer was helping him by not videotaping it. If Trump saw Lutnick LOOKING bad, he'd be out. It's the PERFORMANCE that Trump sees that counts. Clip cued up: youtu.be/XdvIt05-Ojs?...

Trump HATES that Obama's Iran treaty WORKED. So he makes up a story about HOW Obama gave 1.7 billion to Iran & they screwed him. Trump's projecting again. The current reality is that HIS threats & bribes aren't working. He's cost the US 26 billion so far & still no deal. @emptywheel.bsky.social

Highly recommended vid! "The government's being run by Stephen Miller, who is a white supremacist. Close to the election he'd ask me for retweets almost every day.. He sent me a text 'We need to get the white men out to vote. This will be white boy November revenge of the Kens.' I have those texts."

The violent scenes that played out in central Sydney last night were deeply troubling, and entirely foreseeable. We are Australians, first and foremost. Inviting a foreign head of state to Australia when the consequences for social cohesion are so obvious shows a serious failure of judgment.

Good vibe to this show, feels more like the start of year 3 than the Ota show. Apparently some old coot fucked up a twitter post for this event and wrote Ika (squid) instead of Iwatani and everybody thinks it's the funniest shit ever. Mayu was introduced as Ika and can barely contain herself

Once in power, Putin cut taxes for elites, consolidated media (directly or via loyalists) & sought to manipulate the electoral process. Sound familiar? Some parallels are hard to ignore. The difference? The US has strong checks, an active civil society & deep democratic traditions—that gives me hope
