Trump has no idea.Full Stop!
He is being led by the nose and still really believes he is leading!
Itās such a lost opportunity. It feels like that gesture was the last step, the thing that would finally end racism for good. Weāll never know now.
The title of the link is a bit misleading, they havenāt removed it, they have just decided on a different diversity slogan for the End Zone.
Reading the article, since 2020 NFL teams have had different Diversity slogans stencilled into their end zones. This year it was decided to go with āchoose loveā. They have justified their reasoning, citing recent tragedies.
If anything, by replacing the āend racismā stencil it has actually given their message and the other diversity messages more publicity.
For example, I am now aware of the NFL diversity campaign, the media are talking about it and additionally we are discussing the issue between us.
The most important thing is that we as fans, human beings keep pushing the diversity messages with equal importance, reminding organisations of their responsibilities and holding them to account.
Are you telling me you donāt know who won the Victorian state by-elections?
Les Patterson?
Nah mate it was Crocodile Dundee and some bloke called Paul Hogan won the other seat.
To contextualise the recent debate, an article from just after the elections. Highlights include:
Notice the word āliesā? Iām not sure how itās about sports when the scaremongering was quite clearly about people who donāt conform to the heterosexual cisgender norms.
But who gives a shit about nuance and making good policy when optics are more important, eh?
But itās all about the Democrats! Not the fact that itās literally an invented issue.
But apparently itās the Democrats talking too much about it.
I also believe that Musk has removed Pride or some action like that on X.
Back to the conversation earlier on having progressed or not.
He is just an utter gobshite.
Musk, Vance, and the rest of project 2025 goons basically let him have his ātariffā toys to keep him out of their way when they do the real damage to the country.
Edit I read that the Pennies are minted in Philadelphia, thatĀ“s a bit pathetic.
No words
Aluminium last time around was a direct increase in prices for American consumers, 1:1 ratio. American output did rise 10%, but not due to any investment in capacity.
Steel was more complicated, but the net effect was a 1% reduction in US steel output. Best guess is that it fell because US and imported steel were both used in a significant percentage of products that saw a price increase, and demand went down accordingly. Minimal substitution of domestic production for imports in any case.
The buffoon has picked two of the most inelastic US produced goods.
Dropping the tariffs on small shipments was fairly inevitable too - US customs simply doesnāt have the capacity to process that kind of volume, and nowhere did the GOP ever envision hiring the increased number of customs officers. Even applying the tariffs is a significant challenge. Due to our HST (a VAT) it was fairly easy to roll out the retaliatory tariffs, they would have gone live on the stated day. US Customs was in an internal crisis simply at the prospect of having to do it.

Among the other Trump actions being challenged in court cases are:
-
Ending birthright citizenship -
Migrant transfers to Guantanamo -
Establishment of Doge -
Offering federal workers a buyout incentive -
Housing of transgender inmates -
Ban on transgender individuals serving in the military -
Ban on DEIA initiatives in the executive branch -
Removal of independent agency leaders
This should not come as a surpriseā¦ Iām afraid this wonāt end well.

For our non-American friends, or even the younger Americans who dont remember, it is worth pointing out the history of the fans who booed Taylor - these are the same fans who famously once booed Father Christmas

Everything they say they are trying to do there are defined pathways for them to do it.
- Spending is dictated by the budget that the president has increasingly had say over. Get Congress to pass one that matches your priorities
- Use the GAO and various IGs to identify and root our the fraud you claim to be after.
- Use qualified people, senate approved where required, and subject to stringent background checks
- Respect government rules on needs must data access and follow the data security practices you had previously claimed were of critical importance.
The fact they are doing none of this is telling. Either they are too stupid to know how any of this works and therefore should be viewed as not knowing enough about government to determine how to improve it with these actions. Or they are lying to you about what they are doing and why.
Do they still exist?
