Watching this #Trump sh*tshow unfolding with aghast from overseas

With apologies to those not obeying in advance, I am stunned at the amount of shoulder-shrugging & half-assed attempts at rational🤮 takes on the incoming administration

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

I'm so glad these people are being exposed for morons.

Please do more interviews, Alex Karp, Sam Altman, Thiel and others.

These billionaires are freaks, folks. They aren't prophets or geniuses who will save humanity. They're more like the pharoah, but dumber.

The way Trump talks about the problems he caused by unilaterally imposing tariffs is fairly insane, even by his standards.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

Q: “You said you would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd.”

Trump: “I didn’t say that. You said that. I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news.”

Trump on Dec. 3: “Whatever they have, we’d certainly release. No problem.”

The U.S. has become a "side character" in the global story of renewable energy, experts say. China dominates the sector, with positive implications for the climate and their economy.
