Well the bike bag project on Kickstarter which was supposed to start shipping now, is now no longer shipping to the US. It's just not feasible. They also don't want to pass the full impact of the tariffs onto customers.

Shipping to other international countries will commence though. Amazing. This is a company based in the US started by passionate cyclists.

Even as an outsider Trump will have power. He did during the Biden era. And even after he passes, are we sure that his son's won't be able to pick up the MAGA loyalty?

Trump will have power as long as he can communicate with his base. Two things that will stop that, when he stops breathing, or locked away from cameras and microphones in prison.

I suspect all but the 5% hard core of MAGA see his sons as anyone to listen to. Even brainless stooges recognize other brainless stooges.

They will have another leader, a Russian one. That's the issue of that 5%.

Pathetic! ... Did they have to jangle a set of keys in his face to get his attention? Even his administration realizes Trump is out of his mind. Trump thinks the nation is a casino. They were kept waiting while King Trump tried to tap out a Truth Social.

"Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people," - BS Barbie, Trump's spokesperson

So, why would Trump put a pause on his own tax cut? Total clown show!

Somehow, the dumbest Americans convinced themselves that they needed to be jealous of Bangladeshi factory workers sewing t-shirts for $4.27/day and that they were willing to run the economy into the ground in order to take those jobs.

If China has a 100 year Economic Plan America has a 'Who did Trump talk to last?" plan. And right now Donald Trump's cabinet is filled with Heritage Foundation project 2025 nutters and ultra-rich billionaires.

In an ideal situation the president wouldn't have to be treated like a temperamental child.

This is normal.

No, really.

This really is the most absurd aspect about all this nonsense. The rehtoric claiming victimhood, and the insistence that the US is the poor, put-upon victim of superpowers like Cambodia, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, whose people are living lives of luxury because of their cunning exploitation of poor hard-done-by Americans. Especially when at best (if it has any rational basis at all) it's an attempt to conceal the reality of a problem internal to the US.

And once that 99% starts to screw them up, if that 1% has enough automated weapons, will declare a kingdom or empire without democracy... good bye old era.

Not only that, but they're preparing in the future for building completely automatic robotic factories, meaning no more worker headaches, salaries, unions, etc... Pure cold profit.

Issue is... to whom to sell if they are outright killing their clients?

Probably export. They will have serfs and slaves here and keep selling outside of the country. Who knows, because it seems idiotic. It's a path that goes to universal basic income, which can be set so low that people can survive but that's about it.

That's the issue. For Trump there is no low class... he wants to make US live for the rich, but since it fails wants to conquer Greenland (which fails) or even Antartica which with a secret base would make the rich live way better.

Yeah he gave up Australian citizenship to become an American, otherwise he couldn't own USA media companies. Australian politicians occasionally still pay homage at his home in America when there is a Australian Federal election coming up, but that seems to have switched to his son Lachlan...

Politicians may bemoan Murdoch's power but still they line up to kiss the ring

It's a well-worn path for Australian prime ministers to meet with the world's most powerful person while in the United States. They also usually meet with the US president, writes Brett Worthington.

So is the syphilitic orange menace following the Hitler tariffs and schemes?

Atlantic article, paywall free.

Hitler’s Terrible Tariffs​


First two paragraphs:

'By seeking to “liberate” Germans from a globalized world order, the Nazi government sent the national economy careening backwards—and drove up the price of eggs 600 percent.

From almost the moment Adolf Hitler took office as chancellor of Germany, tariffs were at the top of his government’s economic agenda. The agricultural sector’s demands for higher tariffs “must be met,” Hitler’s economic minister, Alfred Hugenberg, declared on Wednesday, February 1, 1933, just over 48 hours into Hitler’s chancellorship, “while at the same time preventing harm to industry.”
