Dan GillmorNY Times is publicly baffled that Trump's tariffs don't apply to Russia. This would be grimly laughable, but then again it's the Times we're talking about.
mattg@dangillmor they're stuck on the idea that things the administration says are news. They just can't get over that point.
Anne@dangillmor Well, the USA doesn't trade much with the penguins on Heard and McDonald Islands, but the tariffs apply there.
@dangillmor but we did put tariffs on Bhutan and uninhabited islands b/c of all the trade we do with them.
Tito Swineflu@dangillmor Here's what's really weird about this:
1: They use chat GPT to make the list of tariffs. (https://www.latintimes.com/trump-accused-using-chatgpt-create-tariff-plan-after-ai-leads-users-same-formula-so-ai-579899)
2: A human reviews that list, and removes Russia.
3: That human doesn't remove those random islands with only penguins on them.

Jeffandthekid@tito_swineflu @dangillmor A President who thinks he can run the country by the seat of his pants, has shown that he has shit his pants.
Rob Ricci@dangillmor this just may be the most pathetic headline so far this year
Michael Wyman@dangillmor the NYT makes a living not looking up from their feet.
i_give_u_worms@mwyman @dangillmor it's okay you can name the NYT as accomplices
jz.tuskThe NYTimes works its hardest when it's not reporting on a story it doesn't want to report on.
jules / cowbell as fuck@dangillmor so we do a lot of trade with the penguin islands?
Minnesota 123456The only person who would not know why Trump spared Russia from tariffs would have to be a kind of modern day Rip Van Winkle who fell asleep before Trump descended the escalator on 16 June 2015. Anyone else could at most pretend not to know.
AutistiCritic@dangillmor What’s worrying me is how little this is being reported. I haven’t heard a single mention in the news about Russia being spared. 🤨
Ted Spence@dangillmor this is Pitchbot level obliviousness
(((Cindy Weinstein)))The NYT is doing such a good job parroting the Onion.
Dean F.@dangillmor The Old Gray Lady clearly has Alzheimer's.
WallyThe US does zero trade with Emperor Penguins yet they're being hit with a 10% Tariff...
@dangillmor you cant tarrif zero trade, right?
maybe im misunderstuanding this but it really seems that simple

An_drew@dangillmor Do you think something might be going on between tRump and Russia? I always accepted that "Russia, Russia, Russia" was a hoax, but now this reporting has got me thinking. Might the New York Times have stumbled on the scoop of the century?
Mercurius GoldsteinWhy do so many Russian dissidents keeps slipping and falling near open windows?
Mastodon MigrationAG still hoping for a Christmas card.
Frank Bennett 🇯🇵@dangillmor Very bold of them to publish state secrets like that.
Gareth Kitchen@dangillmor North Korea escaped them too. ;)
K_L_Cooper@dangillmor
But we're doing a great deal of trading w Heard & McDonalds Island⁉️ 🤔 🙄

Serge 🔻@dangillmor what could mysterious genius trump be up to? It’s probably unknowable for us common folk due to the staggering complexity of his machinations. 🤦♂️
JB@dangillmor I think Krasnov knows the answer. It agains demonstrates where his allegiances ( and master ) lies
Trumtins Electro Shark 325ppmMost of all: They are flat out lying, these journalists in name only #jino
Look at this from the soon to be dismantled 'US Census Bureau'
Urzl@dangillmor It's really important they talk *around* the news to keep up the appearance that they're reporting things.
They should explore the possibility that the tariffs are Trump self-sanctioning the USA in retaliation for Russian sanctions.
@dangillmor Dylan told us, "The Times they are a changing..." The Times is stupid.
@dangillmor this should only be phrased as the accusation with receipts that it is
