becoming extra nationalistic after experiencing 2020: the year your country grossly mishandles a pandemic leading to innumerable deaths while BLM puts a spotlight on the violent systemic racism around you

“By placing massive and disproportionate tariffs on our friends and our enemies alike and thereby launching a global economic war against the whole world at once, we are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business, and as a market to invest capital,” Ackman wrote.

He argued that Trump should consider calling a “90-day time out” that would allow him to negotiate and solve “asymmetric tariff deals, and induce trillions of dollars of new investment in our country.”

If that doesn’t happen and instead the U.S. launches “economic nuclear war on every country in the world, business investment will grind to a halt, consumers will close their wallets and pocket books, and we will severely damage our reputation with the rest of the world that will take years and potentially decades to rehabilitate,” Ackman wrote.

“What CEO and what board of directors will be comfortable making large, long-term, economic commitments in our country in the middle of an economic nuclear war? I don’t know of one who will do so.”

Ackman predicted that if markets crash, “new investment stops, consumers stop spending money, and businesses have no choice but to curtail investment and fire workers.”

tariffs on just denmark would be quite literally impossible; he'd have to tariff the entire EU

remember that meeting with merkel where he kept insisting he wants "a trade deal with JUST germany," and she had to explain like 14 times that he can only do one with the EU, because it's a single market? i love how little he's learned about geopolitics from being president lmfao

O'Brien detailed how Harris reportedly cut short her union roundtable, taking only three of 16 planned questions before departing 20 minutes early.

His account described Harris telling a board member, "Teamsters? You better get on board. Better get on board soon," before the meeting.

kamala harris being considered "youthful" when she'll be 60 on election day just tells me the bar is on the ocean floor. lmao obama was 47, bush was 54, clinton was 46

she's not even gen x, she's just a (late) boomer and would be america's 5th boomer president lmfao. love how when biden said he's "passing the torch to the next generation" he just meant from his silent gen ass back to another boomer

i have not ONCE seen kamala look or act remotely with genuine anger until pro-palestine protestors interrupted her. she almost always seems a bit upbeat even when assertive, but there she looked full of pure contempt.

"I just told her I didn't respect her as a competitor," Navarro said of the exchange, per AFP. "I think she goes about things in a pretty cut-throat way. It makes for a locker room that doesn't have a lot of camaraderie, so it's tough to face an opponent like that, who I really don't respect."

"She told me she doesn't know how I have a lot of fans," Zheng said. "It looks like she's not happy with my behavior toward her. If she's not happy about my behavior, she can come and tell me. I would like to correct it to become a better player and a better person."

Zheng clarified that she wasn't upset by Navarro's words. "I'm glad that she told me that," Zheng continued. "I will not consider it an attack because she lost the match."

this is one of three times a US tennis player has acted like a sore loser in the past several days:

Danielle Collins scratches her match due to "injury" as she was losing. After her Polish opponent congratulated her on her career, Collins calls her "insincere" before walking away. She then played doubles 2 hours after her supposed injury.

Coco Guaff argues with chair umpire after losing to Croatia, says "this always happens to me" while crying. (i think some people are debating if her gripe was somewhat fair, but i feel like implying the judge is always out to get you is definintely doing too much. at least she didn't disrespect her opponent 🤷)

just learned that not a single president has won a second term with an approval rating below 48% before election day (dubya in 04 was the lowest and only won by a pretty small margin)

lmao joe biden's at 37%. lyndon johnson dropped out of the race when he was slightly higher than that (from 538, data since 1945, scroll down n hover around day ~~1,835~~ 1,385)

Archive of his account: https://search-new.pullpush.io/?author=acebush1

Let's search "Jew" and "Jewish" and see the type of comments he actually made:

brainwashed Zionist logic, which is: Israel the state = the Israeli population, and the Israeli population = the Jewish people. This is racist ethnonationalist logic. Israel is a state, not a people.

[Goblins of Harry Potter] are based on antisemitic stereotypes.

Illuminati conspiracy theorism is closely linked to antisemitism (“Illuminati” is basically a euphemism for “the Jewish Cabal”), so the idea that they are deeply involved with the hip hop industry is essentially just a cocktail of antisemitist and anti-Black racism

[Conspiracy subs] lack class-based analysis and it keeps them stuck in a hall of mirrors (until the fashies come along and start steering them towards the Jews and the queers)

After a terrorist threat against Jewish people in his city:

Is there anything non-Jewish people can do? Are there any events planned or something to show solidarity?

Is there anything non-Jewish residents can do to help??

Under a Bakunin post:

I do not buy the "his faults were common for his time" apologia, in any circumstance. ... It doesn't matter if 100% of the people in a given society were antisemitic; they should all be consigned to the dust bin of history and none of them memed. If they wrote some nice things, we can read them critically, take the ideas, and leave the rest. ... This guy saw Jewish people as a threat to the rest of humanity. For those who are directly threatened by those views, and for those who care about them, this meme, uh, doesn't exactly hit the same. By posting this picture, you disregard their perspective, and make the space less comfortable and less safe for them. You marginalize them.

Wonder if she'll denounce some actual antisemitism outside the screening:

"Arab! She’s Arab!”: pro-Israeli demonstrators mace a pro-Palestinian Jewish woman, accuse her of being Arab and sexually harass her in front of the museum of tolerance.

Prior to this vid, this woman was driving by when a Zionist smashed his flags + flag pole onto her car’s hood. The flags blocked her windshield, so she hit the breaks. Her (also Jewish) bf got out of the car. A bunch of Zionists jumped him and then pepper sprayed him & the woman.
