I cannot agree that any meaningful strike back at prez trump has happened yet. The honeymoon phase is continuing and those of us who see a great deal of damage coming outta the amerikan prez’s acts wish that the liberals who have been mouthing off about delusional shit since trump first threw his hat in the ring for the ’16 gig would just shut the fuck up as all they are doing is ensuring reasonable objections to the trumpian act won’t be heard as they be drowned out by the legions of retired librarian ladies whining over those irrelevancies which amerika’s famed subjective media has enabled, the better to sell their product to people incapable of thinking for themselves.

Trump may save America, but it won’t look like Obama-era America ever again.
If I were an American, I would try to see this as similar to the transformation from an agrarian southern-based country to an industrial northern-based country.
People who are willing to look can see how completely rotten the system has become.
I am not saying that what Trump will leave behind will be better, but it will be different.

Trump Says 25% Tariff on Most Canadian Goods Will Take Effect March 4
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trump-tariff-march-4-1.7469928
“US President Donald Trump says he will end a month-long pause and slap a 25 per cent tariff on most Canadian goods as of March 4, claiming he needs to take action because ‘drugs are still pouring into our country…’
Even before the new efforts, Canada represented less than one per cent of all seized fentanyl imports into the US, according to federal data.”

In a clip of an interview on MSNBC News last month, the prime minister talked about an earlier meeting he’d had with then president-elect Trump.
‘He has concerns about the border between Canada and the United States, particularly around migrants and around fentanyl, adding, ‘I was pleased to highlight that less than one per cent of the illegal migrants, [and] one per cent of the fentanyl that comes into the United States comes from Canada.”
Why does President Trump tell so many obvious and easily disprovable lies?

Now the German authorities, want Germans to inform on their family members – who will then be take away from their loved ones – and sent them to somewhere – that specialises in these matters for torture, sorry I meant help.
“Germans who suspect that their relatives or friends have fallen for conspiracy theories can now seek official guidance, the Interior Ministry has announced. The government has launched a nationwide consultation center to combat “lies and disinformation.”
Known as the Advice Compass on Conspiracy Thinking, the service was launched on Thursday and is accessible online or by phone. According to the ministry, it aims to provide “the most tailored help and advice possible” for those seeking guidance.
The center offers consultations and can refer individuals to specialized agencies if necessary, according to Minister for Family Affairs Lisa Paus, without specifying which agencies will be involved.
Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said that an “open dialogue on equal terms” is often difficult with individuals deeply immersed in conspiracy beliefs. She hailed the initiative as “an important building block in the holistic fight against extremism and disinformation.””

One thing is for sure for ‘guacamole-mushy pea confusing’ gaylord to send himself to that working post means they is well worried and want to be on the spot for the next 4 years.
Of course the Mossad link is also about the Epstein files still not being immediately released! Except though some teasing by their totally in the pocket ziofascist few? Why?
Why are they getting first sight and able to control what is made public??
It’s the grand cover up – Mandy is there to help protect the Maxwell connection and KingC3Poo has obviously had his arm twisted … Andrew must be have been well and truly caught in that child sex blackmail ring.
I’ll repeat the person supposedly in prison as Ghislaine Maxwell is absolutely unlikely to be the real her! A Mossad agent is doing that time!
There is zero chance she, her siblings or the Mossad would have the real daughter of ‘Robert Hoch’ actually doing any time.
I’ll also mention the also delayed JFK records – agiain seemingly going through the hands of the same Aipac owned and controlled Representatives!
So Kash Patel after a supposed fiery clean handed start turns out to be showing his true Color as a mere tax collector apparatchik of the east India company ! Just as his ancestors were moulded by the shapeshifters as being in the image of those they sought to rob and murder on the sub continent. True that!

He made reference to the heavy duty purging going on right now by the South African DOGE guy and the guy who linked the revolting satanic AI Gaza video on “truth social”. Also he made a point of emphasis how many on the MAGA team are in the same camp as crackpot WH spiritual advisor Paula White. (most of them are)

A great quick take on the fiscal bomb that is sitting under the Trump administration on the Jimmy Dore show. Trump wants to keep his tax cuts (expiring in 2025) for the rich and keep defence spending at US$1 trillion a year, while cutting “inefficiency” (social spending) and raising taxes on the poor through tariffs. Its like moving deck chairs on the Titanic while making sure that the doors of the lower decks are firmly locked shut.
But with govt. debt to GDP of over 125% of GDP and a deficit trending to 7.5%, and debt being rolled over at higher rates, Trump is damned if he keeps spending given the fiscal position and damned if he raises taxes/cuts spending which will create a major recession (which then cuts tax revenues). The only wait out is full on monetization of the debt by the Fed, with stagflation being the result. This will happen, QT will end and QE will start even if Trump has to toss the current head of the Federal Reserve.
Given the highly oligopolistic structure of the US economy, and its de-industrialized reality (heavily dependent on manufactured imports), and the widespread corruption, and the lack of investment in the already creaking infrastructure, and the deficits to pay for tax cuts, monetization/MMT will drive inflation and dump the value of the dollar. The 25 years of running the escapades of Empire on debt are coming home to roost. As one of the commentators so well said, without Biden reopening the government spending spigot in late 2022 (and the Fed blinking in early 2023), the last two years would have seen a recession. Q1 2025 is now looking like negative GDP due to an import surge ahead of the tariffs, showing the economic weakness. With 50% of consumption dependent on the top 10% of households who increased spending enough to offset the other 90% who cut consumption in the past years, the economy is set up for a very rapid fall in demand if that top 10% start reining things in on top of no new incremental government stimulus.

Posted by: Roger Boyd | Feb 28 2025 18:18 utc | 147

If Trump actually attempted to cut the deficit he would create a very major recession as the deficit is around 7% of GDP, he would be taking 7% of GDP’s worth of demand out of the economy. Then you have to add the multiplier effect, as these cuts affect the propensity to spend and invest by other economic players. With economic activity collapsing, tax revenues would also collapse offsetting the cost cutting/tax raises. Milei cut 30% of govt. spending and the primary government balance only went from -1% of GDP to +1% of GDP because of the collapse in tax revenues.
The only way to do this would be a long hard slog for a decade where the government stimulus was slowly unwound through tax raises on those with a lower propensity to spend (the rich) and cutting spending in areas with lower domestic economy multipliers (foreign spending on “aid”, foreign bases, foreign wars, foreign covert operations, etc.). With very slow economic growth and a falling stock market (which will drive that 10% of households who represent 50% of spending to at the least not increase spending). The US would have to shrink its foreign foot print while China continues its 5% GDP growth and the growth of its influence around the world. So NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.
Massive indebtedness (government, corporate and personal) as the US has now is an End of Empire symptom, as is the decline in living standards of the many while the elite attempt maintain their lifestyles through greater and greater extraction from the many. The US Empire is tottering. But it may very well be a painful denouement.
As I noted above, the conditions for the use of MMT do not apply. Only perhaps the imposition of currency controls (anathema to the US global corporations), spending directed at improving domestic infrastructure, and a wholesale intense imposition of anti-trust actions, could even give it a chance of being successful. Currency controls would remove the US$ as the reserve currency.

What I fear about China:
Christianity has an ethic of forgiveness and loving your enemies. Regardless of how much Christians manage to ignore this, they’re stuck with it. It’s always there, in the background nagging them.
In similar fashion, China – atheist and Communist – has only one ethic – “Serve the People”. So, I wonder if that will always be their default position. Sure, there will be corruption and foolishness but that standard will keep coming back, nagging, reminding, demanding. By contrast, Democrats now are wringing their hands, hating Trump, not knowing what to do. They don’t have a default position other than some impractical Woke nonsense that can weaken society.

The EU is trying to block Calin Georgescu Romanian presidential candidacy – by fitting him up using false charges – no proof exist of any collaboration or Russian influences which led to this.
“Romania was plunged into political chaos late last year when Georgescu, a pro-Russian, far-right firebrand and NATO skeptic, won the first round of the presidential vote and was scheduled to face reformist Elena Lasconi in the second round.
However, the Constitutional Court annulled the first round of the presidential election after an alleged Russian operation to influence the result.
The court’s decision sparked controversy, as both far-right parties and the liberal reformists of Lasconi’s USR party viewed the annulment as an attempt by widely distrusted old establishment parties — the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and the center-right National Liberal Party (PNL) — to hold on to power by pulling strings within the judiciary.
The new election is scheduled to be held on May 4, with a runoff planned two weeks later on May 18.”
