French tourists are turning away from the US It's common for a country to attract fewer tourists for security reasons or because of a natural disaster. "But for political reasons, it's rare," he said, observing that "people are flocking to Canada and Mexico www.lemonde.fr/en/economy/a...

French tourists are turning away from the US
Travel agencies are seeing a notable decline in bookings due to prices and the political context. Among those who do choose to go to the US, travel habits are changing.

Just to remind everyone, Trump negotiated the most recent trade agreement with Canada. Every time he says it's shit, it's his own work he's burning.

I know everything feels grim right now but let's be realistic. These people are idiots. They're going to tank their economy. They're going to fuck-up every deal they sign. They're going to leave America looking shattered and deranged. And all those who supported them will look as idiotic as they are

For them, it seems, the only speech that should be free is hate speech.

I love how Trump, Vance and Musk style themselves defenders of free speech, while simultaneously banning government agencies from mentioning climate change or diversity (inc biodiversity!), equity and inclusion, or even possessing maps which show the Gulf of Mexico. Torquemadas the lot of them.

If ANY oligarch ANYWHERE can silence EVERY activist voice EVERYWHERE, we do NOT live in a democracy but in a KLEPTOCRACY.
A screenshot of a tweet by Elon Musk shows his verified X (formerly Twitter) account. His profile picture displays him speaking on a stage with an American flag in the background. The tweet reads:

“If ANY judge ANYWHERE can stop EVERY Presidential action EVERYWHERE, we do NOT live in a democracy.”

The text emphasizes certain words in uppercase for impact. The tweet comments on the judicial system’s power to block presidential decisions, questioning its compatibility with democracy. The “Follow” button and X platform interface elements are visible.

JD Vance just showed his true colors in Munich: Trump’s lapdog, serving MAGA chaos abroad. He trashed European allies, echoing his master’s disdain for unity. Vance isn’t a leader—he’s a laquais doing Trump’s bidding.
The image is a political cartoon depicting Donald Trump and JD Vance standing side by side in front of a campaign-style sign that reads “TRUMP VANCE 2024” with the slogan “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.” Both are wearing suits with red ties and have white earpieces in their ears. Trump is shown with his characteristic smirk and hairstyle, while Vance is depicted with a beard and a button labeled “16” on his suit. They are making identical “OK” hand gestures, symbolizing Vance parroting Trump. The earpieces suggest Vance is merely echoing Trump’s words, emphasizing his subservience and lack of independence. The cartoon is signed “MATSON,” from “Cagle Cartoons” and “Roll Call.”

Of course, the world hasn't gone mad. The Right has gone mad and is trying to drag the world down with it.

If George Soros held an Oval Office press conference explaining his plans for the Biden administration and then the State Department awarded a nine figure contract to the Open Society Foundations then Washington D.C. would’ve consisted of mostly ash and blood within 72 hours.

I realize now that I have a “trade deficit” with the store across the street. I walked over and bought a jug of milk. The store is abusing me and I’m tired of subsidizing it by buying something at a fair price that I want. I’m going to apply a tariff that will raise the future price of milk for me.

Au Canada, au Mexique et en Chine, la réponse aux droits de douane américains s’organise
La réponse du Canada aux tarifs douaniers imposés par le président américain s’appuie sur une vaste réponse fédérale, avec l’imposition de taxes sur une liste de produits exportés par les Etats-Unis, et sur des représailles provinciales ciblées. Le pays, comme la Chine, va porter plainte devant l’OMC. Le Mexique devrait dévoiler des mesures lundi.
