I was talking to my friend who was my Airbnb host in Charleston SC last time we visited. She used to own an art gallery in Paris, and once the election was over she put her house up for sale and is moving back despite several years in Charleston and really liking it there. Says she’s not hanging around for this shit. Honestly people should take a very hard look at getting out.
yep, I’ll just hop on my invisible jet and fly off to Fantasy Island!
Fwiw, France nearly went full fascist this year, the fact that they barely lost suggests it’s coming very soon
Only because the liberals joined with the fascists.
Weird how they keep doing that.
His threat was directed at countries in the so-called BRIC alliance
What is meant by this? “so-called” is a qualifier we like to use to infer that something is using a name that doesn’t actually define it well. Is this not actually an “alliance,” or is this just unapologetic journalist bias trying to use negative language to speak about this group?
Genuine question. I can’t think of a third option, but if there is one, please, chime in.
It used to be BRIC (Brazil, India, China, Russia) or BRICS (same + South Africa). In the article, it has been extended again to other nations, therefore “so-called” because its membership is not the same anymore. Also, the membership seems very informal, it’s just a bunch of countries maintaining ties and having discussions, not a real group of countries, with its own set of rules and institutions.
That makes a lot more sense. Appreciated.
Soon no country will be left to trade with US.
All according to plan.
Burn it all down, his gates won’t hold when there is nothing left.
Threats usually work very well to keep everyone in their place.
He’s basically threatening Americans, since they’ll be paying this tax.
Yeah, but most of them voted for this. Those that didn’t vote, well, hope it is all worth it.
but genocide! /s
Don’t worry, we’ll be getting plenty of that too.
