'Murica

[Bennett]

I agree with you Bennett but Hasan Piker is a notorious liar and shitlord. For those of you unaware, dude makes money off his stream claiming to be pro-palestine but gives none of it to actual agencies to help. Watches houthi propaganda and dances to it. Interviews literal terrorists on stream helping promote their cause, and frames it as him being a 'journalist' whilst asking not a single critical question. He's a poser, like the Piers Morgan of the left. In it for the monneeeyyyy. Almost as proof he actively supported Donald Trump during the election because it suited him at the time. Framed it as "Kamala=Israel" and that by voting for her you actively supported the murder of Palestinian babies. As opposed to trump, who, as we can see, has stopped the violence...

Him saying he was detained excessively is one of those things where I don't necessarily 100% disbelieve him (He's a non-white man and US border officials are notoriously racist), but he's probably exaggerating it for more engagement and more money. He probably got pulled aside for questioning but I think it was probably because he's arab-passing. Not because of his streaming.

I'm not sure I want to get into a para social defence of Hasan, but I don't agree with you (apart from your hashtag)

I agree, Tails is as evil as Thatcher

Thatcher was childs play compared to me

I see some court has vetoed Trump’s whole tariff ‘policy’. Judged he has overstepped his authority - only Congress can authorise.

The whole tariff thing uses powers that are given to the President for use in cases of emergency, bypassing congress. It's not that he can't levy tariffs at all outside of that, it just needs to go through congress in the same way it would need to go through parliament here.

Trump has chosen to interpret the trade deficit as an emergency, despite the US last having a trade surplus in 1975.

It's obvious bollocks, but I'm sure it plays well to his base.

Trump has pushed the boundaries of laws on a lot of stuff recently, especially on the immigration side.  I don't see that injunction standing once it gets to the Supreme Court though.  They likely suggest the Executive Branch has broad ability to interpret what constitutes an Emergency.  While Trump will spout utter rubbish, some of the Govt lawyers will likely be able to provide sufficient evidence of impact to National Security for example.  A few in the background may be borderline evil, but they are not stupid, like the front man.

[Wobbly Bob]

The irony is that America might not be "great again" with Trump at the helm.

Then again I will profess some ignorance as to what that actually even means.

Unacceptable behaviour, not getting into a fight on the internet. Can you not at least call me a Zionist and leave it at that?!

Back to the main topic, nice to see that the market turmoil turns out to be a storm in the teacup. I'm sure nobody (with vast amounts of wealth and forewarning this was going to be happening) has lost out in this whatsoever.

gulp

[Leggett]

Who'd have guessed the orange shitgibbon would follow the Israeli lead and drag us all to the edge of the next World War?


Deep sigh

[tans]

Been nice knowing you all.

All the best.

[Batch]

Fucking Israel too. They kicked this offf. Cunts.

[Nemo]

I'd really prefer the nuclear apocalypse didn't happen whilst I was at work.

This.

Bob Dylan got it right.

Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
While the young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
That even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
And your death will come soon
I'll follow your casket
By the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead
