I cant but help but think that the whole tariff, collapse in the dollar thing was deliberate and by extension so was the Liz Truss thing in the UK.

These are essentially the same crowd of people, same network and so on

Just another way to scam a few billion more.

Its all a bit too convenient especially when you consider Trump owes people a lot of money.

which cultures?

im genuinely interested as i am unaware of this non binary debate/issue/topic being anything other than a modern concept?

I assume he means groups like Hijra in India.

Probably. That’s why he’s so savvy - he understands half the population have no trust in “mainstream media” so understands poor 'ickle snowflakes should have their feelings validated in his new media coverage of issues and so often goes to talk to the people who he knows are lying, and who know he knows they are lying.

Regarding the skeets (what do we call posts from blue sky) Livy posted, what we see from Trump is a distraction. There are legal pathways to do what he claims needs to be done to USAID. But having private citizens not approved by the senate and who have not passed a background check shut down a statutorily approved government agency just because of [insert conspiracy theory] is not it

Found it (he’s definitely been on more than this, I now remember that I’ve heard his name through listening to the Knowledge Fight podcast and he’s come up quite a few times)

HAHA fuck. I completely got the wrong end of the stick. I thought you were talking about Semafor’s Ben Smith not Beattie :joy:

Ah my fault I should have defined “he”. No wonder the right hate pronouns so much.

Honestly, I was so rage typing so hard hating on Ben Smith that any clarification would have probably gone right over my head

That’s basically Instructional Design. How to bring the level down to a basic level. Democratic party should employ a good instructional design shop that gets this point and create their messages. Pity this wasn’t thought of 6 months ago, not that hard with the right people doing the messages.

I remember back in the day when Republicans got elected by prosecuting in the court of public opinion that the other side used data protection practices that were a security risk

But then I also remember when they made getting gas in from Canada via the XL pipeline one of the key issue of the election.

Oh those heady days, back when Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander Arnold played for liverpool

I have said from the week after that Truss and (particularly) Kwarteng crashed the UK bond markets to make his old boss (and others) millions. This certainly stinks of the same shit.

It’s a bit like Juncker and that soybeans ‘deal’ 2018.

Most Americans hate this stuff. That’s why most Americans have an incredibly high negative opinion of the Democratic Party.

But the party operates in a continuous doom loop of far left wing virtue signaling identity politics that turns everyone else off.

Don’t worry, they’ll continue to have no idea what’s going on.
