Softening up the public. If they’re saying they’re talking about it, they’re going to use it.

Trump administration officials seriously discussing invoking Insurrection Act, sources say

A decision is not expected to be imminent, one source said, but debate within the administration has shifted recently to more deeply exploring how and when the act might be invoked.

Carney understands those circles, yes, but his track record demonstrates care for the whole. He understands economic systems & how to stabilize them, which is vital for 🇨🇦 right now. There is no magic money tree. Carney has to make sure the entire economy remains solvent not just select sectors.

Sure, it profits a man nothing if he sells his soul even for the whole world, but what's the percentage on swapping your soul for a hastily-thumbed text message from who knows who?

Probably less than nothing, Jake Tapper.
That's a spiritual give-away; a celestial bargain basement fire sale.

Sorry, yes, he was brought in to stabilize the UK economy after the financial crisis. I was mistaken in which crisis he was brought in to fix. He was staunchly opposed to Brexit and was then tasked with helping to fix the damage.

You said Carney was Harper & BoJo’s banker. Utterly false. I keep seeing the left sharing ignorance & disinformation about what a central bank is & what it does. Why do you think far right billionaires are trying to destroy the central banks in democracies? Because it’s a bulwark against their power

Then please be more careful with spreading baseless propaganda. Especially at a time when an authoritarian regime is waging economic warfare against us and wants to annex us.

Moving the goalposts again. Accounts only get labeled as follow farmers for engaging in follow farming. The labeller is automated. It recognizes account follower farming activity & labels it as such.
You then once again try to manufacture straw men since facts & logic clearly don’t matter to you.

You aren’t the account I was talking about, which is clear from the screenshot. But thanks for once again demonstrating that facts don’t matter to you.

I’m so sick of this disinfo & lazy ignorance of what a central bank is & what it does. NO Carney was NOT ‘BoJo’s banker’. Nor Harper’s. Carney was brought in as globally renowned economist to help stabilize the tanking UK economy due to Brexit. Bringing in an expert isn’t a mark against that expert

@dbcurren.bsky.social , @heathermoandco.bsky.social , @canadianerrant.bsky.social and I are starting up hostilities in the #WaroftheRoses again. Here were some really cute pink ones on Symington on Sunday.

A very tall, 8 foot rosebush with four pink blooms behind. It is a house with gray brick and a front porch with an easy chair.

Detail of two of the pink rose blooms that are fading a bit, and have white with a gray wood slat balcony in the background

Carney isn’t appeasing him. Carney has been working nonstop to diversify away from the US economy, making deals with other global partners. But these deals will take years to transform. In the meantime, the US can do serious harm to 🇨🇦. Being diplomatic & managing a dementia patient ≠ appeasement.

The Majority Report is mixed for me. You have to find who you trust, I guess. Nicole Wallace on Deadline White House (MSNBC) has been hitting it out of the park. Chris Hayes also good. You have to cast a wide net, I find. Wired has been doing fantastic work for example.

Bsky also recognizes this account as a follow farmer. So not only does the account spread disinformation memes, it’s also trying to gain inauthentic following.

Wrong. I’m so tired of this lazy propaganda. Carney has been working nonstop to diversify the Canadian economy away from the US. It is a monumental undertaking & will take years. In the meantime he’s trying to prevent a madman from destroying our economy. 🇨🇦🇺🇸 economies are entwined like no other.

#NigelFarage (surprise!) lied about his ties to paid Putin stooge, #NathanGill.

Kremlin influence operations just keep turning up around Farage. 🤔🧐
