The Trump administration is genuinely freaked about losing the off-year elections so there's a chance this actually happens, but I don't think Bessent has that kind of pull among Trump's scheming viziers.

"but did not say how"

www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...
Screengrab from the NBC news article says "He indicated that coffee, bananas and other fruits would be among the items to see some import tax relief, but did not say how."

This is the screengrab from the quoted post:
Screengrab from "CNN Politics" covering Spanberger's answer when asked about Mamdani "Then maybe," she said, "he should be a Democrat." Acknowledging when pressed that Mamdani is in fact the Democratic nominee, Spanberger said that for all the talk — including from within the Democratic Socialists of America itself f- about the DSA's growing power, she doesn't see democratic socialism on the rise. She argues there's a level of dishonesty in some of the big promises Mamdani is making that she worries could hurt Democrats with voters long term, saying the reason she doesn't have a Mamdani-style proposal for government-run grocery stores is "because I couldn't ever pass it.' "People do want us to be aspirational and dream big. They also don't want us to lie to them," she told CNN. "When you have a party that makes promise after promise, and then say, 'Oh, we passed it in the House, it's not our fault' - vulnerable people believed you. Maybe he is going to get Albany on board with totally refinancing public transportation. But there's a lot of people who believe him."

So many people are dunking on this guy's stupid post that he just posted that he wishes he could block quoting.

If you don't want people to engage with your ideas, write them in your diary.

Might be related to this:
A screenshot from Twitter user Erica York @ericadyork says "the permanent emergency is that Trump this "TRADE IS BAD" there's a screenshot of an article that says "Coming back from the G20 summit, Trump was editing an upcoming speech with Porter. Scribbling his thoughts in neat, clean penmaship, the president wrote, "TRADE IS BAD" (TRADE is BAD is repeated again in scrawled block print as though taken from Trump's notes). The text then continues "Though he never said it in a speech, he had finally found the summarizing phrase and truest expression of his protectionism, isolationism and fervent American nationalist."

Also, unless you are wearing thick or specialized gloves do not pick up tear gas canisters and throw them back. It's hot! You are likely to severely injure yourself, the police are wearing masks, and the reaction from the police is likely to be even more tear gas.
Screengrab of text describing the heat of the tear gas canisters. It says "The canister heats up very quickly due to the combustion process. A canister that has just landed will likely be too hot to touch with bare hands."

The financing tool is, you go to Broadcom and you put your arm around their shoulder and you gesture sweepingly in the distance and whisper "omniscient robots" and they whisper "yesssss" and you say "we'll need a few hundred billions dollars of chips and equipment from you" and they say "of course" and you say "good" and they say "do you have hundreds of billions of dollars" and you whisper "omniscient robots" again and they are enlightened. And then you announce the deal and Broadcom's stock adds $150 billion of market capitalization and you're like "see" and they're like "yes" and you're like "omniscient robots" and they're like "I know right." That is the financing tool! In some loose postmodern sense, OpenAI has borrowed hundreds of billions of dollars from Broadcom. You can buy hundreds of billions of dollars of equipment to build the robots to sell for money to pay for the equipment, because you've gotten everyone to believe.

In that little speech he mentions that the ships traveled in a straight line, but he seems to think they were doing that as some sort of parade, rather than... you know... to compensate for their major military weakness.
Goose meme. Top panel shows the goose's head saying "Why were the ships all in a straight line" the second panel shows the goose angrily chasing a man running off the panel it says "Why were they all in a straight line?"

This is basically where we are
The "epic handshake" meme. Two men's arms embrace. The men are very muscular and their hands seem to entwine. The left arm is labeled "Wealth Hoarders" the right arm is labeled "Nazis" and the point where their hands meet is labeled "Destabilizing Liberal Democracy"

Weird how many people don't like their "favorite president"

from here: www.economist.com/interactive/...
screengrab of the economist's approval tracker. It says "239 days into Donald Trump's term The president's net approval rating is -13%, up 0.1 points since last week. 41% approve, 55% disapprove, 4% not sure Last updated on September 16th 2025"

Yeah, he's talking about drones and he's just flat wrong.

The world's oceans are really big.
screengrab from the linked article: European defence companies are already developing technology designed to track enemy submarines posing a threat to the West. Autonomous mini-hunter submarines that can lurk under the sea for months on end will be able to use artificial intelligence to detect and identify sounds that could betray the presence of a sub — part of the new Lura system, developed by Helsing, a European defence company. Experts believe this system will effectively “illuminate” the oceans and make the hunt for Russian submarines much easier.
