When will it be time to Make America Normal Again? Or is America finished as a (small ‘l’) liberal democracy? #MANA #Trumpland

Good that the Musk-backed candidate lost, but the idea that judges should be elected rather than appointed for their skills and experience highlights the hyper-politicisation of US institutions—something that is being hugely accelerated by the #Trump administration. #Trumpland

Trouble in #Trumpland? No wonder they want to restrict #VotingRights !

#Greenland “cold as shit”, says JD Vance. Seems like a charming fellow. #Trumpland https://apple.news/A_7ktfDA4QhG1qX5OB7q20g

The wheels have literally fallen off the clown car and the driver claims not to recall having any mechanical trouble. #Trumpland #USCorruption #Signalgate

The F-47 fighter jet will be built by #Boeing? Fine if you want them falling apart in the sky I guess… #Trumpland https://apple.news/Am2bA8xhyTZ6KBN1NT_QAfA

#Trump administration fails to provide legally mandated American Sign Language interpretation of briefings after placing deaf and hearing staff on leave “with plans for their termination”. #Trumpland #USCorruption #DEI #ASL https://liamodell.com/2025/02/05/white-house-donald-trump-national-association-deaf-nad-american-sign-language-asl-interpreters-dei-susan-wiles-chief-of-staff/

“To his credit #Roberts avoided joining with #Trump expressly, but the meaning of his speech act was plain: it was a public correction, if not a contradiction, of the president of the United States. It was a public rebuke.” #Trumpland #USCorruption https://emptycity.substack.com/p/making-sense-of-the-trump-roberts

“One cannot tell the extent to which [JD Vance] is an unprincipled opportunist, a true believer, or just a very online guy. What we do know, however, is that he moves among a small circle of intellectuals who toy with dangerous, deeply un-American ideas.” #Trumpland #USCorruption https://www.thebulwark.com/p/influence-austrofascism-on-jd-vance

‘Tea shock’ is still better than Liz Truss’s effort of ‘tea sock’ ! #Trumpland https://apple.news/AqjttiRVQS8mCndClp659cQ

#Trump is not using tariffs as a tool of economic policy (for which they have been disastrous), but to achieve foreign policy objectives. He threatens his opponents with increasing tariffs until they comply with his demands. #Trumpland #TrumpTariffs

“In Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, treason is specifically limited to levying war against the U.S., or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.” #Trumpland #TrumpIsARussianAsset https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treason_laws_in_the_United_States?wprov=sfti1

Kurt Vonnegut once said “There is no reason why good cannot triumph as often as evil. The triumph of anything is a matter of organization. If there are such things as angels, I hope that they are organized along the lines of the Mafia.” But now it’s the US government that’s being organized along the lines of the Mafia, while the angels are sent to detention centres. #Trumpland

You don’t pause intelligence sharing with an ally in the middle of a war. At this point we can only assume that the #Trump administration is doing the Kremlin’s bidding. #Trumpland #TrumpIsARussianAsset https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwygxvvrd8do

“If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness.” #Trumpland https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-trump-column-read.html?unlocked_article_code=1.u04.J7n6.9uDfiocxfAUT&smid=url-share

The #Jetstream over North America, with its U-shape, indicates that polar, cold air may flow south.

Due to #GlobalWarming, the jet-stream is becoming weaker and wavier.

The coming cold weather in some areas of #TrumpLand points to a #ClimateCrisis.
