Donald Trump announces his a "trade deal" with Vietnam, which increases taxes on American consumers while decreasing taxes on Vietnamese consumers.
The zero-rate tariff offer in Vietnam was proposed on April 4. He's essentially done nothing in 3 months.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

My first attempt to clean silver the 'green way' with baking soda, aluminium and salt bath went catastrophically bad.
TIP: Do not add baking soda to hot water rapidly.
Far more pyrokinetic than I was anticipating.

This is the situation with our homegrown idiot. Yes, correlation does not prove causality even in relationships. But if you are knowingly interacting with a man who is a convicted sex trafficker, what the hell is wrong with you, thing 1. Thing 2, I don't have to like you and/or forgive you.
“Haven’t we all met terrible people” yeah sure but we haven’t associated with them for years after finding out how terrible they were and then lied about it until the DOJ releases a stack of PDFs.

America: Where the phrase "We're Number ONE!" is so ingrained a cultural trait that they are speedrunning to authoritarianism faster than any other country. Woo and even hoo.
Great chart "US backsliding under Trump is steeper than any recent precedent" in ⬇️
Although nowhere near as steep where would the actions & statements of the NZ National, ACT & NZFirst coalition put Aotearoa?

Still can't believe the latest Epstein Files release just casually confirmed the anti-SJW movement was planned by pedophiles.
"The entire reactionary anti-woke backlash was masterminded by child traffickers" is the kinda shit I'd say as hyperbolic agitprop, but it was true the whole time.
