Setting aside an executive order probably can’t legally do this, I can’t imagine many more actions that indicate the Russia Hoax isn’t quite so Hoaxy. There is no logical reason for him to do this

Well, the single most predictable action of the Trump second presidency happened just a few hours ago. Trump signed an executive order that exempted Russia from all of the key possible sanctions that could have been placed on it by the Graham-Blumenthal bill.

Pretty remarkable that NATO nations need to move away from US run international finance infrastructure to safeguard our security and sovereignty just like if we are Iran, Russia or China

One reason why I’m increasingly skeptical that schools should even feel morally accountable to parents and studentd. They are accountable to society to educate.

There could be an existential danger to us all, but we, your elected leaders, aren’t smart enough to figure it out so let’s just roll the dice and see what happens…

Export bans aren’t that easy. USA isn’t that integrated of a market. Prices will fall along the gulf but an export ban could trigger price rises across the east and west coasts, where diesel is often imported from international markets (which will go up post a US ban)

I hope engineers saying human extinction is 10% probability in 10 years aren’t being precise because what would the 20 or 30 year probability be?

That was post 1858 UK. Pre-1858 UK: “By George, did you know Lord Ablesmiths 3rd son made £10m last year working for something called “The East India Company?” Turns out they’re bloody good deal makers!”

In order to convince the base he won, he does have to stop Iran from waging war… which is sort of Iran’s choice. Hard to gaslight Israel.

I have no basis in fact to ask this, but will the first point of the day be Trump demanding allies pay Iran 100bn in reparations in order to re-open Hormuz as a part of the deal that will be signed Friday?

Trump might have to be impeached for there to be peace. He cannot be trusted and how does one reach a truce with a madman liar whose word cannot be trusted?

This is the generous interpretation. The alternative is a group of consistent liars lied about the agreement and are gradually being discovered

There is going to be a point when the market realises they lie to serve their short term interests like calming oil prices

NATO is a mutual defence alliance not Trumps personal alliance of conquest. Rutte should articulate this or resign

Rutte’s sycophancy isn’t in the best interests of NATO or the Americans and Europeans the alliance protects

I'm seeing a lot of these fake Donald Trump truths being posted on BlueSky (and lesser sites) at the moment. Its pretty easy to check, and you owe it to yourself and other people before sharing it.

ICE is bad. Foreign policy is bad. Lots of things are bad. The shut down should be defined by 1-3 objectives that poll 70-30. No compromise until Rs cave on those points. No compromise at all. Let the FAA allow the planes fall from the sky and see who gets the blame.
