This captures much of the frustration of today.

The image is an X post by @RealJakeBroe from 7 hours ago, featuring a two-panel comic. The top panel shows a scientist pointing to a chart with a general trend and an outlier, illustrating a rational argument. The bottom panel depicts a person labeled "ANTI VAX" pointing to a similar chart, labeling it "CONSPIRACY THEORY" with "Lies" and an outlier called "IRREFUTABLE PROOF!!!", satirizing irrational arguments. The caption reads, "It is difficult to win an argument with a smart person. It is impossible to win an argument with an idiot."

We are currently in a war being run by reality TV personality Commander-in-Chief and his TV talk show chatterbox Secretary of Defense. Have a nice day.

Lemme explain what bilateral trade deficits are, so that you can better understand -- and perhaps be infuriated by -- the intellectual error that's transforming our economy. #TeachEcon

I'm an Aussie who just witnessed the oval Office meeting with the South African prime Minister. This is one of the most embarrassing moments ever.

Trump’s tariffs won’t wreck Australia’s economy. But America’s could be cooked. On this Dollars & Sense, @grogsgamut.bsky.social & @haydenstarr.bsky.social discuss Trump’s tariffs, the RBA's magic 8-ball monetary policy & why minimum wage increases don’t drive up inflation. #auspol

Trump's tariffs won't wreck Australia's economy. But America's could be cooked.

Americans are going to bear the brunt of Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs.

I'm an Aussie and I am shocked by the cost of pharmaceuticals in the US. OMG how do people there afford this. Does this explain why estimated life expectancy in the US is plummeting??

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

A lot of people are surprised by this?

One of many reasons why Canadians should never be part of the US. And don't start me on guns, racial problems and drugs.

Just musings from an Aussie observer.... Are friends and relatives from US and Canada still talking to each other??

Alan Simpson @simmofrombrissie.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

The difference between 1990 and 2025 is the same as the difference between 1990 and 1955. Think about it. How scary is that??

Sooo ... How are my friends in Canada and the US today. Everything perky and sharing coffee and cookies over the fence??

In relation to Ukraine, its interesting that the only countries to have breached their obligation in accordance with the 'Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances' are Russia and more recently USA. Birds of a feather huh. A glimpse of the future?? The US has sunk to new lows.

Alan Simpson @simmofrombrissie.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

How wonderful to see most other countries supporting Ukraine after Trump and Vance's embarrassing attempt at extortion. There is good in this world, just not in the Oval Office apparently.

So... Zelensky was the third world leader in a few days to call Trump a liar to his face. I hope the rest of the world lines up as well.

I'm a curious Aussie. Are the corrections pointed out by France's President Macron and British Prime Minister Starmer against statements made by Trump and Vance been on American television??

Alan Simpson @simmofrombrissie.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

To my American friends..... Is Trump's and Elon's behaviour becoming normalised in the eyes of general America?? Are there ramifications??

I'm just curious from Australia. Are Americans confused about the law of the land, IE courts sometimes contradicting or pausing Trump's executive orders. Or is it just me??

A question from Australia. Is the first few weeks of this presidency even more terrifying that what you imagined?? I would love to hear!!
