People try to ascribe motives, strategy and logic to Trump but it's not acknowledged nearly enough that he's simply a spectacularly stupid man who happens to be extremely rich and entitled with it and therefore has gained a lot of power.
He's a very clear example of the Dunning Kruger effect.

Q: The premier of Greenland said today, 'We prefer to stay with Denmark.'
TRUMP: Who said that?
Q: The premier of Greenland
TRUMP: Well, that's their problem. I disagree with him. I don't know who he is. Don't know anything about him. But that's gonna be a big problem for him.

Good morning.
A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive.
That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power.
Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

More good news, the renewables investment and industry just keep on winning. It's laughable watching America try to drag it's economy back into the 1800C, just because an orange demented idiot is bought and paid for. Sad 😂

Why is the UK so thick as to not reverse this Brexit nonsense - it doesn't make any sense.
And Farage claims that proper Brexit has never been done and threatens to rip up any attempts to fix to this barrelling shitshow…
FGS, UK. Let’s just admit this epic mistake/con and bin off all those who demanded we screw ourselves over like this.

Good, he can elucidate just what a loathsome piece of scum the orange idiot is. We need more people to stand up and take a stand.

Very impressive, and I know London has done a similar job. About time humans came before cars and lorries.

Reminds me of Douglas Adams immortal genius: "If you try and take a cat apart to see how it works, the first thing you have on your hands is a non-working cat"
In conversation back in 1994, the late Russian environmentalist Alexi Yablokov explained the problem of rebuilding democracy this way:
"If you have a tank of live fish, it is fairly easy to make fish soup.
Once you have fish soup, however, it is very difficult to make a tank of life fish again."

Last night’s moderate #SolarFlare likely released more energy than the majority of larger X-class events. Why? Flare classifications are determined by the flare’s *peak* emission. Although last night’s flare capped at an M3 level, it continued releasing energy for over 12 hours!
