We're only hurting ourselves.

"Canadian exports to the US plunged 6.6%, the biggest drop since the pandemic, while imports fell 2.9%. Canada’s exports to countries other than the US jumped 24.8%, however, almost entirely offsetting the decline in shipments..."

Back in the day, a few months ago, the UK was an enigma, a country that self inflicted unnecessary pain on itself and couldn't admit its errant ways enough to correct things.

Never thought the US could or would top that.

My favorite Kurt Vonnegut quote--"you are what you pretend to be"--comes from Mother Night, a novel about an American spy who pretends to be a Nazi propagandist only to realize later in life he was just being a Nazi propagandist
Think I’ll pass on the piece in which a racist creep explains why a major party embracing the Nazi salute really isn’t a big deal.

Meetings today with a visiting colleague from Fiji. He shared with us his experiences during their four coups, the last of which was in 2008, his observation that we are clueless as to what is happening.

So, Trump knows about South Africa's land expropriation issue and has a strong enough opinion to say and maybe do something about it. How can this be? Who might this be important to?

Lmao THR having more sack than the mainstream press
Sometimes a Nazi Salute Is a Nazi Salute
Did Elon Musk intentionally "sieg heil" at Donald Trump's inauguration rally? Sometimes it only matters what you do, not what you intend.

The Harris campaign should just air a supercut of Trump selling garbage: coins, NFTs, picture books, bibles. Especially bibles. Just make him look like the embarrassing late night cable huckster that he is.
Kind of cool to see Trump selling coins that he claims to have designed himself. It's his true calling. Going on TV (or the internet, which I'm sure he thinks is the same thing) and selling chintzy garbage. Everyone would love him if he'd decided to be the Sham-Wow guy instead of president
