US politics - the new orange wave (Part 7)

Anthony Kennedy was right next to her applauding.

It’s good to watch Trump only because of the ripples American Tariffs have through the world.

Much like trade sanctions on Russia, effect of war on Ukrainian grain production etc.

Him otherwise making some Americans lives misery(or good depending on who you ask). Well that’s just entertainment.

Don’t have that much off job time to get individual names of folks who have suffered and died so far but a picture from Nicholas Enrich — USAID’s acting assistant administrator for global health, who just got fired for no reason - of what just the first onslaught of cuts to this international effort by the US will do

  • An additional 12.5 to 17.9 million cases of malaria over one year should programs be permanently halted and up to 166,000 more deaths annually.

  • An additional 200,000 paralytic polio cases per year if programs are permanently ceased.

  • One million children not treated annually for severe acute malnutrition.

I’m not mate. Seriously I’m as left as they come.

The reporting ■■■■■ me to tears. So the only way I can handle it is to ignore it and wait for something to happen.

I probably jumped on Jono too hard this morning. So @jonovdp I’m sorry for that.

It’s a shitshow for sure.

I guess retired ones can then.

Seems a bit odd, especially for Kennedy.

“Rapture is upon us” sing one chorus line of the US Admin, “Overpopulation by inferior breeds getting solved” sing another, “We’re going to make soooooo much money”, “We’re going to restore the US to its pure blooded white roots”, “We’re going to have a lot of fun”.

All the hits from the worst musical theatre production in history, which is saying something.

That’s just opinion LF. The Ant needs facts!

Read an article where perhaps that is the plan tariff threats and all the doge stuff to scare economy into faltering lowering interest rates, then they can refinance the govt debt at a lower rate than currently 4+%

Has this actually happened?
Have these programs been stopped? There are lot’s of ‘should’ and ‘if’ in those sentences.

We also assuming other countries won’t come to the rescue.

Buffett appears to increase his cash holdings every time he thinks the market is running too hot and there aren’t good opportunities or returns. He doesn’t claim to ever have an actual intuition as to a crash. He just operates on certain metrics. Be fearful when others are greedy…

And neither got standing ovations, grovelling at the messiahs feet etc etc for it, and his other various autocratic bullshit.

Something very very strange and unhealthy is in full stride here.

Yep, a Government which is talking tough about immigration……. But understand that they’ll p*ss off their donors if they take away their cheap ‘cash in hand’ workforce.
