The Trump Presidency, Season 2

I'm wondering if this is why Havana Club rums are available from most UK supermarkets and online liquor stores but not Amazon UK. I realise there's a US trade embargo with Cuba, but that doesn't affect the UK.

I guess it does if, as in the case of that sandwich shop, somewhere in Amazon UK's payment processing chain there's a US bank.

Although it is interesting how often he enjoys talking about women, especially the "deeply physically unattractive" birth control taking ones who don't get that a feminism is a cancer.

A while ago I read a theory that has proved to be very true in my experience. Gay men seem to be sharply divided between those that adore women as one of the girls, and those that see absolutely no use for icky girls!!! Milo is obviously an extreme example of the ladder. He's always had a deep, and overt hatred for women and will grasp at any dumb excuse to justify it.

Milo Yiannopoulos is a charming devil and one of the worst people I know. I have seen the death of political discourse reflected in his designer sunglasses. It chills me. We met four years ago, before he was the self-styled “most fabulous supervillain on the internet,” when he was just another floppy-haired right-wing pundit and we were guests on opposing sides of a panel show whose topic I don’t remember and can’t be bothered to look up. Afterwards we got hammered in the green room and ran around the BBC talking about boys. It was fun.

Since that day, there is absolutely nothing I have been able to say to Milo to persuade him that we are not friends. The more famous he gets off the back of extravagantly abusing women and minorities, the more I tell him I hate him and everything he stands for, the more he laughs and asks when we’re drinking. I’m a radical queer feminist leftist writer burdened with actual principles. He thinks that’s funny and invites me to his parties.

Netherlands moves billions in gold to London in 'crisis preparedness' move

The Dutch central bank (DNB) has confirmed that billions of dollars in gold has been taken out of north America and relocated to London, citing "increasing geopolitical unrest".

DNB said on Wednesday that 86 tonnes of gold had been removed from the US and Canada in a complex operation that took several months. It is now being held by the Bank of England, where the precious metal can be traded more easily "in a crisis situation".

Bank president Olaf Sleijpen said the move was "necessary to strengthen our resilience and preparedness".

Makes sense and is on brand for him. He's got ZERO empathy for anyone. Many people like that are often quite genuinely unable to see the pain of others, so they often struggle very hard to even realize that is real. To people like that, hurt people just sound silly, and "emotional." They see their cold apathy as calm, rational thought. I really think Milo is genuinely unable to understand why arguing against basic human rights for others could be a bigger deal than telling a fart joke.

There is still a lot left of our gold in the US and Canada, but it is a bit more evenly spread now. Just in case someone wants a golden necklace or nose ring or something during WOIII.

Milo believes in almost nothing concrete—not even in free speech. The same is reportedly true of Trump, of people like Ann Coulter, of Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage: They are pure antagonists unencumbered by any conviction apart from their personal entitlement to raw power and stacks of cash.

Taken from this lengthy piece of Trump's latest posting extravaganza

The President is a reckless madman

At 9:10 this morning, after spending the entire weekend hiding inside his Bedminster golf club, avoiding the waiting press and their cameras, Donald Trump posted his first social media post of the day. By 10:35 this evening, he had posted more than 60 times, with each share more concerning than...

If this were someone we loved, like an aging parent or grandparent, we would be having one of the hardest conversations a family can have. We would be asking whether they could still live alone. We would want to know if they were eating, if they were keeping up with basic hygiene, or if they were even capable of taking care of themselves in that way. We would also be asking if they understood what they were doing when they picked up their phone and shared 60 images of themselves commanding robot armies and detonating nuclear explosions from outer space. We would be heartbroken, scared, and most likely calling their doctor and taking away their car keys. Instead, we are letting the person posting this nonsense command the most powerful military on Earth. He holds the nuclear codes and is ultimately responsible for the safety of more than 330 million Americans. He has already botched a pandemic that killed more than a million people, taken us into another forever war in Iran that he said he would never start, and now he is destroying everything in his path.

Trump Just Launched The Dumbest Anti-Canada Truth Social Post Ever And Someone Needs To Call The Doctor. JFC.

He can't explain the post. His staff can't explain the post. He’s big mad that Canada and Carney stopped taking his calls three weeks ago and he’s losing his mind. Completely.

He is mad about the single most normal fact in North American economics. Peter Ratcliffe, a retired Canadian who was in the replies, pointed out that since 1976, the U.S. dollar has floated anywhere from 1.06 Canadian dollars to 0.67 Canadian dollars. It has gone up, it has gone down, it has gone up again. It did that under Reagan, Clinton, both Bushes, Obama, and Trump the first time. Nobody in Ottawa sets it. The Bank of Canada does not peg the loonie to anything. It floats. It has floated for more than fifty years. It moves on oil prices, interest rates, capital flows, and the extent to which the rest of the planet trusts your economy.

But what he’s REALLY mad about is that we simply don’t GAF, and Carney has literally stopped taking his phone calls because, as someone in Carney’s orbit told me recently, “Mark thinks he’s very unwell and will wait until Epstein or the midterms take him out.”

Revealing himself. Antichrist. I am sure the faithful MAGA will just say, "Oh, that's just Trump's humor."

He has no sense of humor.

At this point, he making himself an irrifutable argument for stricter limits on presidential power.

Only 2 years and 4 months left DonnieDumpsInPants... I'm sure you can finish destroying the Republican party along with the rest of our once great nation by then. Need to borrow a fiddle?

There are only 4 months left.

The GOP will turn on him the instant they reach the halfway point.

Then ten years of Vance and real Christofascists in charge.
