Not wrong. But I will point out that this will funnel a lot more money to China, which has been investing much more heavily in greentech than the US has. So overall it could actually be a plus - for climate change at least.

Whole lotta minerals that will get a lot easier to exploite as the planet warms.

President Trump said in a middle-of-the-night social media post early Thursday that he would come after the European Union and Canada if they banded together to “do economic harm” to America, opening a new front in the unfolding trade war.

“If the European Union works with Canada in order to do economic harm to the USA, large scale Tariffs, far larger than currently planned, will be placed on them both in order to protect the best friend that each of those two countries has ever had!” Mr. Trump wrote.

Mr. Trump’s post creates a new problem for the European Union, which is already trying to respond to his tariffs on steel, aluminum, autos and potentially a broader array of goods and services.

The United States is by far Europe’s most important trading partner, and the prospect of worse trading conditions has left the European Union scrambling to negotiate. But the Trump administration has showed little appetite to strike a deal so far.

“In the end, as it is said, one hand cannot clap,” Maros Sefcovic, the trade commissioner for the European Union, has said.

That has left Europeans seeking to strike new alliances and deepen existing trading relationships. And concerns about President Trump’s shifting stance on military support have driven partners like the European Union and Canada closer together. Canada is already working toward providing industrial support for Europe’s rearmament push.

European Commission officials did not immediately comment on Mr. Trump’s post.

“If the European Union works with Canada in order to do economic harm to the USA, large scale Tariffs, far larger than currently planned, will be placed on them both in order to protect the best friend that each of those two countries has ever had!” Mr. Trump wrote.

‘Be my friend or I’ll hurt you’ is literal crazy child shit.

Anyone think about what they used to do before we started making indelible records of all our social activity? Probably ask you some questions and that’s it. Yet now they think it’s ‘vital’ that they be able to see everything you ever said to your friends? Bullshit it is, they’re just powerhungry petty tyrants.

Martial law generally has legal mechanisms in place to provide some limitations to duration etc.

In other words, it would be an improvement over what is currently happening.

Just pointing out that your ‘handling your own response’ sure seems to include getting a lot of money from the feds.

Rent free.

That amendment doesn’t nullify shit. It’s waffle language. When the court cases eventually come up over this, judges will shrug and say that it doesn’t clearly forbid it, so it’s fine. Mark my words.

Wow, it’s almost like if you routinely put people in authority over others, someone will misuse it. Huh. I wonder if anyone had maybe thought about that before.

Actually, what it does is ensure that members of the community who do not own property (most of them) will be impacted without any say in the matter. It’s an incredibly stupid and unfair system, and is pretty obviously so.

Unlike most of the Democratic Party, Bernie does not support the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

Get back at them by just not buying eggs.

Go make some chili or something, it’s cheap.

LLMs are incapable of helping. If he cannot find time to construct his own legal briefs, maybe he should use part of his money to hire an AGI (otherwise known as a human) to help him.

The Harris campaign had to cover the governor’s tracks when he tripped up during a California fundraiser by stating that the constitutionally-mandated system used to select the president, otherwise known as the electoral college, “needs to go”.

How the hell is that a gaffe? It’s both the truth and exactly what people want to hear. Any lib who thinks like that needs to kindly keep their mouths shut for the next four years. This country needs radical change, the only choice you get is which one you want.
