- Comment on China tells US to ‘cancel all unilateral tariffs’ if it wants talks 3 days ago:
China is definitely winning the posturing game, and Trump saying “trade negotiators met today, but cannot be named” is yet another of his obvious lies.
China having meetings with Japan, while Japan’s meetings with US don’t go anywhere, because Trump is only interested in complaints instead of asking anything specific and reasonable, is simply a continuation of the original reason reciprocal tariffs were suspended for 90 days: Chinese trade and diplomacy exploded in just a few days.

Liz Truss was so horrible that if she did not actively poison the Queen, made her so digusted with UK/world as to give up all hope for life. JD, as vice anti-Christ, can have a similiar effect.
- Comment on Who should america be more concerned about MS-13 or Russia? 1 week ago:
The US has threatened Russia for last 80 years. At increased levels in last 20 years. Forcing Russia to defend itself in last 3 years has made it stronger. There is absolute blowback danger from Russia, that can extend to nuclear destruction, but it as fully self inflicted as going around zoinking Grizzly bears’ tails. Foreign national threats to US are entirely the result of US evil, and US desperation is making it worse.

- Comment on California Is Preparing to Sue Trump to Stop His Tariffs 1 week ago:
This is a tiny (insuficient without more) step towards that. Declaring ICE and other Federal agents to be outlaws (No penalties for murder, theft, rape) would reduce their presence. South Carolina declared that it should not collect/submit to 1828 tariffs, and were the seeds of secession 30 years later. That Californians should be forced to buy cars from Detroit made $20k more than Chinese EVs, or Pensylvania steel 50% more than Chinese, requires a desire for unity, and conditions of harmony.

China’s announced reduction in big studio releases can place a positive influence on original/independent films.

Minecraft is only technically an original movie. Video game “franchise” popular with kids is usual “formula slop” leveraging past pop culture.

- Comment on Give us your craziest ocean facts. 🦑 2 weeks ago:
My theory on tipping points with ocean to air temperatures is that El ninos cause a step up in air temperatures now. This happened in 2015/2016, where air temperatures stayed above 2015 levels every year afterwards, even if 2016 record stayed up for a long period. 2023/2024 was another step up. Ocean and air temperatures help each other set summer records, and that ocean heat persists into fall/winter to help moderate winter air temperatures, that makes spring have a head start on new summer records, or at least keep the new el-nino set baseline, until another step up the next el-nino.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 2 weeks ago:
JFK movie, Oliver Stone, got a lot of it right, with mob cutouts including Jacob Rubenstein. The Israel motivation is the threat to force zionist supremacists to register as foreign agents, and disapproved of Israel’s nuclear program. Global peace rhethoric, and lack of full war on Cuba, Laos, Vietnam made a lot of other enemies within US.
The obvious coverup of the assassination, was not to protect a small gang of agitators where involvement would end, unless they could rat out higher ups.

Apparently, any and all blatantly false national emergency declarations just sail right through any checks and balances. Martial law is just as easy. Surely a fentanyl tweaker Mexican anti fa supporter will be accused of rape at some point.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 2 weeks ago:
CIA with Israel killed JFK. Israel picked Trump as the most supportive of genocide. It’s fair that every other politician would still support it, though perhaps not as far as a war on Iran.
The CIA is a “US Corporatist global champion deal facilitator”. But Trump has picked loyalists at the top of intelligence and military apparatus. Unlike the past, where best people, defined as pure warmongering evil devoted, had these jobs, current batch of diaper licking appointees lose their jobs if “crazy daddy” impeached/exterminated from policy relevance.
So none of “JFK’s checks and balances” apply today. Russia war not as important as maximum zionism.

Global warming has a slower effect on the oceans than in air temperatures, yet we’ve passed a tipping point where many sea regions are consistently 3C warmer than pre-industrial era, and they are helping air temperatures set records too. Even since 2016, summer tropical North Atlantic ocean has been over 2C warmer than 2016. This region is also called “hurricane alley”, and ocean heat has an exponential effect on hurricane strength.

Trump declared a national emergency that the world gives us stuff for what we are willing to pay for. An emergency declaration allows suspending elections and other martial law.

- Comment on Do people really think setting up domestic manufacturing in the USA is easy? 3 weeks ago:
If Nike shoes go from $200 to $300 from tariffs, there is a big opportunity for crossborder shopping in Canada or Mexico, where in Canada they would be $213. And then more opportunity to smuggle them with volume discounts for US ebay listings. A peer to peer smuggling network takes away from “backbone of retail economy”, and then lowers value of US official market such that making $300 shoes inside the US costs a big investment.
Apparel industry jobs tend not to be as glamourous as Boeing, Catterpillar, Deere jobs which are pretty much only US manufacturing export sector than defense. Losing export markets from hatred of US, doesn’t get replaced with good jobs in apparel, or exports of expensive US apparel.
