Casually back to war with Iran

Casually back to violent confrontations with ICE

Casually back to sporadic trade war policy (Spain)

Casually back to demanding Greenland.

And soon to be casually back to litigating the Epstein files (Blanche hearing)

Trillion dollar military budget still somehow can’t afford war. We are being robbed.

BREAKING: SpaceX is now worth more than Amazon.

SpaceX market cap is $2.75 trillion, Amazon's is $2.65 trillion.

Amazon's profits were $78 billion last year. SpaceX lost $5 billion last year.

@ProfessorPape @mashabani Why is china easing energy consumption?

[Robert A. Pape @ProfessorPape]

Pres Trump just said 200 ships have secretly passed Hormuz since the war began

That’s compared to over 10,000 in the normal 100 days since the war

200 is 2% of the norm

World heading to historic energy crisis

We Are Living in the Dumbest Timeline

Donald Trump just posted a photo of a wind turbine next to birds and captioned it “Killing birds by the millions!”

He posted this without irony.

For every single bird killed by a wind turbine, nuclear and fossil fuel plants kill 2,118 birds. Coal alone kills roughly 7.9 million birds a year in the United States. Wind turbines? Between 140,000 and 328,000. That is not a defence of wind turbines.

We are living in genuinely, historically stupid times. Only rivalled, frankly, by the medieval peasants who blamed the Black Death on cats and promptly killed all the cats, which meant the rats multiplied, which meant more plague.

At least the peasants had the excuse of having no access to information whatsoever.

Trump has the internet. He chose this.

The most darkly funny aspect of this video is that Ivanka Trump speaks as if she went on some profound, prolonged spiritual and philosophical journey to ascertain the meaning of life, and concluded that the most elevated human state is to live on a gigantic private island in the Mediterranean, in a sprawling mansion paid for with the billions of dollars given to her husband by the Saudis and Emiratis to ensure favorable treatment by him and by her dad in their exercise of the powers of the American Presidency. Real uplifting stuff. 🙏

[Matt Stoller @matthewstoller]

This is really bad. It’s also directly a result of libertarians and Republicans, who think the government shouldn’t exist or is bad at stuff.

The fact that some 80 year old pedophile who lives in a Florida brothel can single handedly cripple the world economy, trigger a global war, trash the White House, and grift people out of billions is insane if you think about it
