They voted for the guy whose fault it is that China is leveraging the market, fercrissakes.
He told them he would do it during the campaign. They voted for him anyway.
America has to find the bottom of the barrel to finally wake the hell up.

Emanuel: China's basically found leverage; they're applying pressure, and they're doing it to soybean farmers. Our farmers have lost that market, are out a huge amount of money, and could see a lot of bankruptcies in the rural parts of the Midwest.

I don’t love Gavin Newsom, but
I voted for him because I understood the assignment. I don’t have to get everything I want because I don’t hold politicians up to some impossible purity test. Governing kinda sucks. But am I wrong for finding myself swayed by him lately?

THE MOST MARAVILLOSO TIME OF THE YEAR For Maduro, it's become an annual tradition:

The economy’s in free-fall? Declare Christmas. Lost the vote but claiming reelection anyway? Declare Christmas. The U.S. is blowing up boats and threatening stronger action? Declare Christmas

Bracing for war, Venezuela’s Maduro starts Christmas early — again

It’s an annual tradition: Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro, feeling pressure from opponents or enemies, plays Santa. Venezuelans aren’t buying it.

Marie"Claire : Le cancer du sein, le courage des hommes. 💀

Ok bah parlons-en du courage des hommes :
Après l'annonce d'un cancer, 20,8 % de femmes sont quittée par leur mec.
Seuls 2,9% des hommes sont quittés après un diagnostic.
Le courage des hommes. 🚮

Post Insta Marie-Claire, photo en noir et blanc un homme torse nu porte dans ses bras une femme en culotte noire. Il a le regard droit et valeureux, elle a la tête enfouie dans le cou de l'homme.
Texte : "Ce portrait saisit un instant suspendu, où l’amour et le soutien prennent toute leur force. Elle révèle ce lien profond que la maladie ne peut effacer, ces gestes silencieux, ces regards porteurs d’émotion, cette force invisible qui éclaire les jours sombres."⁣
⁣
Joséphine Neuville a photographié Aurélie, touchée par un cancer du sein. À ses côtés, Jérôme, son compagnon. "Il est cette présence constante, discrète mais essentielle, qui soutient et accompagne sans relâche", écrit la photographe qui fait partie des 40 finalistes de la 14ème édition du concours Pink Ribbon Award, concours photo engagé à l'initiative d'Estée Lauder et de l'association Ruban Rose qui réunit des professionnel·le·s du monde de la photographie ainsi que des acteur·rice·s engagé·e·s dans la lutte contre les cancers du sein. ⁣⁣
⁣
Cette image raconte "une histoire d’amour, de lutte, de tendresse et d’espoir", nous dit Joséphine Neuville qui veut, au travers cet instantané noir et blanc, "reconnaître la dignité et la beauté de celles et ceux qui avancent ensemble, malgré l’épreuve."⁣

No institutional design can overcome a lawbreaking president, a Congress defending lawbreaking and forfeiting its own power, a Supreme Court that pretends legal text doesn’t count to facilitate lawbreaking, and a citizenry that votes for all that.
Need at least one that wants rule of law. Maybe two.
