  • Even if you expected some tariffs the degree and arbitrariness have exceeded almost every expectation. Charitably you could have assumed he meant he would implement tariffs in a way that makes some kind of sense, you know, warning well in advance so businesses can actually plan for them.

    It’s kind of amazing the market hasn’t dropped even more now that the administration has revealed that it has no guard rails guiding Trump’s dementia fueled decisions and that he doesn’t give a fuck about wall street at all.









  • Work doesn’t stop being work because it’s artistic.

    If you violate your visa you can get deported, that’s pretty normal globally and does involve an arrest. It’s only exceptional because of the inhumane conditions of detention facilities in the US and because she was arrested immediately instead of being denied entry or educated on the restrictions of the visa. If she presumably told CBP she was intending to violate the visa waiver she probably thought it was acceptable for some reason.

    “Why yes customs agent, I am intending to perform work in exchange for money while in the US on a tourism entry permit” -Privileged and naive white tourist used to the Schengen area about to dive face first into a poisoned spike pit that was meant to catch brown people

    The problem is the spike pit, not really the person diving into it making headlines because they happen to be a white woman.

    If it was intentional I don’t think he would choose this venue. Trump has gotta be so pissed at him for stealing the media spotlight and making him look bad.

    Fundamentally I don’t think he thinks of himself as a neo-nazi whether or not he functionally is one. And I don’t think he’s bold enough for a dog whistle this blatant even if he does.

    He did put on a weird stank face when he did it. He thought he was doing something but I don’t think he was aiming for nazi salute. He’s happy to trigger the libs over it but I think in the moment it was somewhere between the weird jump he did on stage and the ketamine putting enough holes in his brain that he thought this was a normal ‘my heart goes out to you all’ gesture.
