This is what toxic masculinity looks like.
They're threatened by her intelligence and academic success and they revert to caveman mode because that's their only response; if it's male hit it, if it's female, mock and belittle it.

Most of these guys probably don't have opposable thumbs...

Bessant/Nutlick/Trump: tariffs are paid by the exporter not the importer.

Also, Trump cutting tariffs to ease inflationary pressures.

I don't think they've thought this one through....

Listen to a combative interview between Carol Masser and Eric Trump as he outlines his family’s latest grift… where were you Tim Stenovec? Strangely silent. omny.fm/shows/bloomb...

Listened to a ‘Bloomberg Business Week Daily’ podcast today with Eric Trump. Carol Massar got very combative with him and Tim Stenovec just went mute and didn’t contribute… how f**king dickless is this guy. Hang your head in shame.

#MAGA faithful writing off the Access Hollywood #GrabEmByThePussy comment by #Trump as 'locker room talk'... were they talking about the locker room at the local kindergarten?

Michael Burry of Scion Asset Management (and "The Big Short"), the investor made famous for his bet against the US housing market ahead of the 2008 financial crisis, is closing his hedge fund as he warned that MARKET VALUATION HAD BECOME UNHINGED FROM FUNDAMENTALS.

Nothing works both ways in Trump world.
China can’t have the latest Nvidia AI chips… see, we hold all the cards.
China limits exports of the rare earths necessary for most electronics.
MAGA world freaks out… how dare they.
Maybe we don’t hold ALL the cards 🤡
Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

I'm thinking about relocating to #NewYork to take advantage of the fact that 1 million of the world's biggest c**nts will be vacating their properties to go and live in the Florida retirement waiting room...

When the CEO of the world's leading chip maker says the Chinese are going to win the AI arms race, be afraid, be very afraid... the US economy would be deep in recession territory without the huge spending on AI technology.

“Donald Trump is a weak man pretending to be strong. He is a small man pretending to be big. He is a faithless man pretending to be righteous. He’s a perpetrator who can’t stop playing the victim”.

We're back to Trump/Putin deciding on how the war ends... they think they can carve-up the spoils without Ukraine or Europeans sitting at the table.

The #BudapestMemorandum2.0 will be as meaningless and hollow as the first.

I’ve spoken to a few Russians and pro-Russia Europeans in recent weeks. They tell me that Russia hasn’t committed its best troops or its most lethal missiles… that’s why progress is slow.

I wonder what they’re waiting for, and what will be the deciding factor in deploying them?

Palestinians and Israelis share significant genetic similarities, indicating common ancestral roots in the ancient populations of the Levant, such as the Canaanites.

So the only real difference stems from religion.

It’s always religion…

A basket of 30 AI-connected stocks now accounts for 43% of the total market cap of the benchmark S&P 500 equity index, according to JPMorgan.

Research by Mark Zandi, an economist at Moody’s, shows the top 10% of the population by income are now responsible for around half of all US consumption.

As I've said elsewhere, Israel has no intention of ending its war with Palestinians. Gaza is already 75-80% destroyed and they'll finish the job once they have the bodies of the last hostages.
It was always the plan, with Trump's full support, to turn the Gaza Strip into a 'Monaco of the East'.

The US tried to control China's access to semiconductors.
China retaliated by blocking rare earth exports and stopped buying soybeans.

#Bessent doesn't understand that trade is a 2-way street.
China won't be cowed into submission by bullying tactics.

US consumers are paying the price.
