[secludedsunflower]

I modified the lyrics to the adams administration rap so its like Gen Z @ trump and i kinda like it

Here:

A short tweet to the fat,

Arrogant

Anti-charismatic national embarrassment

Known as President Donald Trump

OOF!

The man's irrational

He claims that we need

to go back to school in the midst of quarantine?

Bitch please!

You wouldn't know what cops are doin'

Being racist and fascist-

But ya never wanna do any work

Give our regards to the conservative protestors (note: the ones in march and april not BLM protestors)

Next time you rant about the rise of COVID cases

At least we wear our masks throughout this whole rumpus

The line is behind us

We crossed it again while the president lost it again

Aw, such a rough life

Better run to your phone

Now the boss is tweeting again

Let me ask you a question.

Who sits at your desk when you're driving around going golfing?

They were calling you a dick back in twenty ten six

And you haven't done anything good since!

You're a nuisance with no sense

You'll die of irrelevance

Go ahead, you can call us the activists

You aspire to our level

You inspire to malevolence

Say, "Hi", to the Billionaires!

And corporations all around us,

Maybe they can confirm

We represent our generations beliefs in this thing on twitter and

We’re confining you to one term

You fat motherfucker!

Will We Be Any Better Off After A Year Of Trump?

New Year’s forecasting is a traditional theme at this time of year for Outside the Box. So let’s take a look across the pond and see what Ambrose Evans-Pritchard of the London Telegraph thinks about our prospects for 2017.

Ambrose is less optimistic about 2017 than I am in my forecast. His title pretty much says it all: “Trump, interest rates and Chinese panic: Why euphoria could turn to a credit crunch in 2017.” It seems that his view back across the pond at us has him seriously squinting.

Let’s see why he’s so pessimistic about our chances this year.

Trump, Interest Rates and Chinese Panic: Why Euphoria Could Turn to a Credit Crunch in 2017

By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard

The Trump effect is to accelerate capital outflows from China, increasing the risk of a painful reckoning this year.

Donald Trump's reflation rally will short-circuit. Rising borrowing costs will blow fuses across the world before fiscal stimulus arrives, if it in fact arrives.

By the end of 2017 it will be clear that nothing has changed for the better. Powerful deflationary forces retain an invisible grip over the global economy. Bond yields will ratchet up further and then come clattering down again – ultimately driving 10-year US yields below zero before the decade is over.

There are few ‘shovel ready’ projects for Trump’s infrastructure blitz. The headline figures are imaginary. His plan will be whittled down by Congress.

The House will pass tax cuts for the rich but these are regressive, with a low fiscal multiplier. The choice of an anti-deficit Ayatollah to head the budget office implies swingeing cuts to federal spending. These will hit the poor, with a high multiplier.

This Gatsby mix is mostly self-defeating in economic terms. To the extent that there is any extra juice, it will be countered by the Fed at this late stage of the cycle. Tight money will push the dollar higher.

Once markets accept that Trump is not bluffing – that he really does intend to smash globalism – euphoria will give way to alarm. For now Wall Street remains drunk on wishful thinking.  The longer the delusion lasts, the stronger the dollar, and the greater the trouble in Asia and Latin America.

The broad dollar index threatens to reach all time-highs in 2017, hammering vulnerable regions of the world. Credit: St Louis Federal Reserve

Such is the currency paradox. As the Fed’s broad dollar index pushes towards an all-time high of 130, the mechanical effects will expose the Achilles Heel of an international system that has never been more dollarized – and never been more sensitive to US interest rates since the end of the Bretton Woods era.

King dollar will tighten the noose on emerging market debtors with $3.5 trillion of liabilities in US currency. It will force banks in Europe – through complex hedging contracts – to curtail offshore lending to the Pacific Rim, Turkey, Russia, Brazil, and South Africa. It will lead to a credit crunch in the developing world.

China moves to a different rhythm but it cannot hide from higher US rates. The imported squeeze will come just as the latest 18-month boomlet rolls over, a form of pro-cyclical tightening on a Chinese economy that has already reached credit exhaustion.

It is whispered – and always denied – that the US agreed last February in Shanghai to delay rate rises, buying time for the People's Bank to calm the yuan panic. The Fed retreat worked like a charm. Markets did indeed stop worrying about China. Global bourses rebounded. 

Next time – and it is coming soon – there will be no such accord. The Trumpians want China to blow up, thinking they can handle the blow-back. They can't.

Draconian controls by the People's Bank will not be enough to stem capital flight. Nor will reserve losses blowing past $100bn a month in January. The nuclear risk through 2017 is that Beijing's ‘weak yuan’ mandarins will prevail. If they let the exchange rate go completely, the Asian currency storm that must inevitably follow will unleash a deflationary tsunami through the world. I think China will hold the line, but don't bet on it.

China's slowdown will kill the commodity rally stone dead. Saudi Arabia and Russia will find that output cuts agreed in Vienna are not enough to clear the oil glut this year, pushing off the desperately-awaited rebalancing into the distant future. Neither country can handle the implications of this. Riyadh will buckle before Moscow.

My New Year’s piece last year spoke of sunlit uplands: “The economic sweet spot of 2016 before the reflation storm." I hoped the treacherous moment could be deferred until 2017. Unfortunately we are now almost there.

The tailwinds of global recovery are fading whatever equities purport to tell us. JP Morgan's 'Nowcast' measure of world growth was been slipping quietly for the last six weeks and is now down to an anemic 2.6pc, even before the China's credit curbs kick in and the Asian slowdown becomes obvious.

We have already enjoyed the $2 trillion consumer windfall of cheaper oil. Europe has already enjoyed austerity relief. The European Central Bank has already played its cards. On a flow basis the ECB will soon be tapering, and therefore tightening.

Yields on Italian debt will climb well above the growth rate of nominal GDP – the fatal threshold – as markets anticipate the loss of the ECB shield. This means attrition on €400bn of sovereign paper held by banks, eroding capital buffers. Rome’s €20bn fund for bank rescues will run dry within months, and the political costs of a second bail-out will be much higher. 

It will become clear again that Euroland has resolved nothing. The fatal pathologies – lack of fiscal union, lack of a banking union beyond the name, the one-side adjustment imposed on the South, Germany’s unpunished current account surplus – have merely been veiled by QE and the Draghi Put.

None of the elections in Holland, France, or Italy will bring an anti-euro government to power, but they will come close enough to rattle nerves and drive the euro below dollar parity.

The parliamentary balance of power will shift, greatly weakening the ideological lockhold of the Maastricht elites and free movement purists. Alternative fur Deutschland will make it into the Bundestag. The centre-Right will harden everywhere to stop leakage to the populist fronts.

Brexit Britain will no longer stick out in quite the same way. It may even start to look like a liberal haven set against Europe’s unanswered rage, and this will change the narrative. The threads will become confused, the pieties of Remain less certain, the Scottish temptation a little less alluring.

The UK economy will not perform any better than the eurozone in 2017, but it will not do any worse either, and those who talk of ‘punishing’ Britain in EU capitals will discover the asymmetry of political risk. The British can perhaps fall back on the Dunkirk spirit. Brussels can fall back on nothing.

The next global downturn will come before the G4 central banks have been able to replenish their ammunition, while the bar on New Deals or budgetary largesse is dauntingly high. World debt ratios are already 35 percentage points of GDP higher today than they were at the top of the last cycle in 2008. Emerging markets cannot come to the rescue as they did after the Lehman crash. They too are now mortgaged, and psychologically battered.

As polities fray, those nation states with an organic cultural unity and strong allegiance to sovereign institutions will fare best. Utopian constructions and brittle dictatorships have less margin.

Will we make it through 2017 before the reckoning hits? Probably, by the skin of our teeth.

Happy New Year.

PREHAPS THE REAL HOAX IS THE CURRENT OCCUPANT OF THE WHITE HOUSE WHO HAS LOST GRIP OF REALITY AND FUNCTION

President Trump has called many things hoaxes over the years — the investigation into his 2016 campaign’s dealings with Russia, his impeachment, global warming — but on Monday he called into question the existence of an epidemic that has killed more than 135,000 Americans.

During a flurry of activity on his Twitter account, Trump retweeted a message from game show host Chuck Woolery that claimed “everyone is lying” about the coronavirus as part of a plot to sabotage the economy and hurt Trump’s reelection campaign.

“The most outrageous lies are the ones about Covid 19,” wrote Woolery in the message promoted by Trump. “Everyone is lying. The CDC, Media, Democrats, our Doctors, not all but most ,that we are told to trust. I think it’s all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election. I’m sick of it.”

Asked about the retweet at a briefing later Monday, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said that the “notion of the tweet was to point out the fact that when we use science, we have to use it in a way that is not political.”

A key problem keeping the economy from coming back is the 135,000 Americans dead from the coronavirus, per tracking by Johns Hopkins University, which reported 61,352 new cases and 685 deaths on Saturday. Woolery didn’t say whether he thought the death toll was faked. Florida set a record for most single-day cases of any state so far with more than 15,000 reported Saturday, the same day Walt Disney World reopened in Orlando. Arizona, California, Florida, Mississippi and Texas have all set record highs for daily deaths over the last week.

Trump sometimes uses “hoax” as an all-purpose denigration of opinions — or facts — he doesn’t like. In February he called criticism of his administration’s response to the coronavirus the Democrats’ “new hoax,” but he didn’t quite deny the existence of the epidemic, as Woolery appeared to do in his tweet.

There is no obvious precedent for a president repeating criticism that a key agency in his own administration — the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — is lying, except for Trump himself, and the many times he has accused the FBI and the intelligence services of intentionally undermining him.

Rant ahead:

Trying to explain to my 11yr old stepdaughter about celestial admistrative bodies and magickal power dynamics after telling her that no there isnt -technically- a spell to make things fly but if you apply archaic alchemical principles onto modern technology then the mathematics behind aero-engineering and maglev trains are a form of high or ritual magicks based upon monas hiero base theorems.

Then going a ramble about the persecution of ancient scientists for heresy and witchcraft during the witch trials and inquisition meanwhile my reformed pagan ex baptist husband is like "hun this is the bible belt. They still insist that they were actual witches in league with satan that were hung."

So my brain is brrrrrrzzzt on how do i explain my understanding to her without getting her in trouble with all these bible thumpers? The children will accuse you of being a satanist just for voting democrat because their parents' preachers said so.

Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh.....

I feel so stupid when im optimistic about the future because of thebknowledge i have accumulated.

But im sitting her blowing spit bubbles and getting undeserved pleasure from thinking about the potential for human evolution and individual enlightenment and still have to fucking bite my tongue like its 15th century england.

Cannon heads. All of them are cannon heads. Loose cannon heads.

There is so much to learn if you stopped spitting in fear of satan and god and just stfu . Life would be so much better for everyone as a whole planet if you stopped cowering and listened.

Cannon heads

Damn it. Damn it. Damn it.

*smacks head against wall*

WAAAH!

In conclusion:

No, it takes a scientific understanding of flight and a application of that knowledge to achieve lift for flight like seen in birds or airplanes. Magnetic propulsion can achieve a similar linear principle for long distance land/sea travel and open limitless opportunities for sustainable energies. No coal or oil required.

How would you explain these pseudo-witchy things an 11yr old country child (with no knowledge of the witch trials or spanish inquisition) growing up in trump americas bible belt?

Blog Post #4 ELECTION 2020 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES ASSESSMENT

1) A brief statement assessing the position of EACH candidate.  The links above should send you to the candidates' issues page.  

  The Biden/Harris campaign has spoken about their support for abortion rights and for it to remain legal in the US, Harris has also said “Women have authority to make decisions about their own lives and their own bodies”.

           The Trump/Pence Campaign has been frequently anti-abortion,        under their admistration they have brought changes to Title X to stop taxpaying dollars from supporting abortion providers. Trump stated everyone should have “a god given right to life”, when speaking on the issue of abortion.

2) Do you agree with their position? Why or why not?

The position I most agree with is the Biden/Harris position, because I do believe in the right of having a choice in this issue. In the evidence surrounding the legalization of abortion, we have seen that in countries, as well as the US before Roe V Wade, where abortion is illegal, it does not end abortions as a whole, it only bans safe abortions. As far as the Trump Admmistration’s ideolgys around abortion, I fundemently disagree.

  3) Compare the candidate stance with the party platform      researched in blog post #3.  Explain whether their position supports or conflicts with the party platform.

These positions of the democrat candidate Joe Biden align with the statements made on the Democratic Party Platform. The platform states its believes on keeping abortion legal and pushing to secure reporductive rights.

The GOP party platform stated “including the inalienable right to life and the laws of nature and nature’s God”. This aligns with the anti- abortion stance that Trump has taken on.

8/24 In The News

Kellyanne Conway, one of Trumps longest serving advisers has declared that she will be leaving the White House soon. Her main reason for this decision is to focus on her family where drama has arisen. Her daughter Claudia, has been very outspoken on twitter recently and has been making negative comments about the Trump administration and her mothers position (which she should do). This has created a rift in the family that Kellyanne apparently needs to solve. Another interesting twist in this situation is Kellyanne’a husband George. George is a conservative lawyer for the Lincoln Project (a republican group dedicated to defeating Trump). This creates another rift in the family because he as well as his daughter are bashing the admistration their wife and mother work for as well as bashing Kellyanne herself. Personally, I agree with everyone’s decision, even Kellyanne’s because she does nothing for anyone in this country and rarely (never) provides anything useful for anyone. Hopefully their family can solve their disagreements and move on to live peacefully together. As Kellyanne put it “Less drama and more mama”.

Days after the redacted Mueller report was released, the Trump administration seems to have changed its tune. Instead of denying collusion, Rudy Giuliani is now saying that collusion is perfectly okay. 🇷🇺

Well friends its the end of 2017 and like we predicted Donald Trump’s is still an asshole, Republicans prefer their rich friends who give them money and their tax bill is going to do real harm to the ACA, and the supreme Court has allowed to admistration to fully enforce their deeply bigoted Muslim ban.

In 2018 I cannot tell you how important it is to vote. I cannot tell you how important it is to be informed and beyond that I cannot tell you how important it is to interpret information for yourself. The truth still matters and the American people will always be more powerful than this president. The people driving this nation forward, that’s progress.

Anyway, enjoy some tunes, embrace the ones you love, and know that when it comes down to it I vote with you and I stand with you through all of this bullshit.

I sent masks to health workers but the Trump administration seized them instead of helping

As the federal government failed to provide essential equipment, our small group of volunteers has successfully delivered nearly 200,000 FDA-certified, CDC-approved KN95 masks to front-line workers in hard hit areas  — New York City, Detroit, New Orleans, Chicago, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico  — in just a matter of weeks. But it wasn’t easy, because when the federal government finally decided to act, it wasn’t the way we’d expected. Instead of helping us, they seized some of our PPE shipments without telling us where they were taking them.

Unprecedented federal interference On April 11, during the peak of COVID-19 cases and deaths in New York City, the Federal Emergency Management Agency intervened and demanded orders of medical equipment allocated to our relief efforts be redirected to the federal government. FEMA then seized 50,000 N95 respirators we had ordered without giving us an explanation or telling us where those respirators were going.

In my 15 years of working in the manufacturing industry with international and domestic supply chains, I have never — never — had the federal government interfere like this.

Workers unload a donation of medical supplies at Andrews Air Force Base in Prince George's County, Maryland, on April 28, 2020. It wasn’t long before I realized it wasn’t only happening in New York and New Jersey. FEMA confiscated San Francisco’s PPE order as it went through Customs, even as the Trump administration told states and cities to procure their own equipment rather than rely on the federal government. Since those reports of FEMA quietly seizing materials, at least six states have lodged similar complaints against the federal government interfering with their supply chains.

Story continues
