Trump says he’s ‘not a dictator’ but he could be an authoritarian

The Trump presidencies have always produced something of a strobe effect. There are so many flashing and pulsating…

#Trump droht #EU mit Zöllen nach Strafe für #Google

Okay, die Google-Mutter #alphabet soll 2,95 Milliarden Euro Strafe zahlen, wegen Wettbewerbsverstößen mit ihrer Suchmaschine Google.
Der #uspresident sieht die Maßnahme als "sehr unfair" und bedrohe US-Investitionen und Jobs.

"Don't bei evil!" Ist bei Google seit 2018 obsolet.

"... and if you see something that you think isn't right – speak up!"

Tja das ist schon länger nicht mehr aktuell.

Mal sehen was passiert...

After watching an eye-opening story about US presidential pets on PBSNewsHour, I had to look up more details.

Did you know that President Roosevelt had a pet badger called Josiah? Josiah was presented to Roosevelt in Kansas by 12-year old Perl Gorsuch and named after Perl’s father.

President Coolidge had a pet raccoon called Rebecca. Rebecca had been sent to the White House to be eaten as part of the thanksgiving dinner but they didn’t want to eat her.

“At times, she [Rebecca] could be mischievous and was known to unscrew lightbulbs, open cabinets, and unpot houseplants. She was known to nestle in Coolidge's lap when he sat by the fireplace.”

Later, when President Hoover was in the White House, a possum moved into Rebecca’s old cage and Hoover called it Billy, in reference to President Taft’s unsuccessful attempts to replace Teddy Bears as toys with Billy Possums.

(This is back when US presidential politics could be fun.)

Good lord..I was just watching this 1993 interview of #CharlesManson with #DianeSawyer. The most terrifying thing about it today is the fact that his spewing word salad and nonsensical rambling sound like a certain #USpresident who looks like an Oompa Loompa.
Listen for yourself. I don't think I need to tell you it's disturbing.

Sad Day Of "Reckon Uh" For Bullish Rube #Investors That Went Long On #Melania #MemeCoin As Value Has Sunk 98% Since Election Day, Down To Approx 25 cents from a high near $10.

#USPresident's Personal "Coin" Brand Doing "Much Better" Almost Retaining Nearly 10% of Value...but uh, really more like 9%

The His & Hers #Blockchain offerings lost 50% of their value within the first 24hrs of inaugural weekend launch, so further declines in the obvious #scam offering should come as no surprise.

The con-coins were billed as "official" and approved and endorsed by both #POTUS & #FLOTUS who promoted them on their personal websites &social platforms hyping them with hyperbole like “The Official Melania Meme is live! You can buy $MELANIA now.” back when the #crypto asset hosted on the #Solana #blockchain went live.

The #FinancialTimes revealed how "insiders" reaped nearly $100 million by dumping the #Melania digital coin at its peak minutes before it traded downward on publicly accessible markets.
