The Democrats Won’t Acknowledge the Scale of Trump’s Tariff Mess

I see that #Democrats need to appease #unions, but this response is wrong. We need to say that felon Trump has no plan! Tariffs need to be applied surgically, not with a sledge hammer.

The Atlantic · The Democrats Won’t Acknowledge the Scale of Trump’s Tariff MessBy Jonathan Chait

Hey #media! I have a suggestion. Felon #Trump thrives on media attention. Whenever you have an article about any stupid thing he does, you show his ugly face. Since he doesn't read, all he sees is that he is the center of attention & my feed is filled with his mug. How about putting pictures of something else like the actual subject of the story rather than showing #felontrump? This would show what the story is actually about and not inflate his already HUGE ego. Thanks.

"Why are they so enthusiastic? Not only can they make fortunes, but crypto advances their long-term aim of shifting financial controls out of a democratically elected government and into their own hands. ...

Trump and his family stand to gain substantially. The rest of the economy — including, increasingly, large Wall Street banks — will be subject to large and unregulated risks. Beware."

"Yesterday, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. announced they were joining forces with a Bitcoin mining company to create a firm called American Bitcoin. Eric will be co-founder and chief strategy officer. ...

Let me remind you, in addition, that cryptocurrencies serve no useful purpose other than the purchase of other crypto assets, money laundering, extortion, and scams."

Robert Reich · Trump’s Crypto Inc.By Robert Reich

“We will never know what would have happened if the US justice system had not totally failed at protecting the rule of law against an attempted coup d’etat. On the other hand, we know the consequences of not acting: the destruction of the rule of law and state capacity, the creation of a parallel system of prerogative and privilege from proximity to political power, and a slide towards outright fascism.” #justice #law #corruption

"The Center for Public Integrity, a thirty-six-year-old nonprofit newsroom in Washington, DC, that won acclaim for its investigations but has endured financial and organizational turmoil for much of the past decade, has ceased publishing and is in talks to turn over its archives to the Project on Government Oversight (POGO), an anti-corruption watchdog group."

Marine Le Pen quitte le tribunal avant l'énoncé de la peine, image terrible pour le RN: non seulement celle qui prétendait à la fonction suprême fait preuve de lâcheté mais en plus, elle n'assume plus sa défense sur les faits qui lui sont reprochés et qu'elle a nié avec le reste de ses séides. La présidente, imperturbable, est en train de fixer le quantum des peines pour détournement de fonds publics.
