Nova pobeda Trampa u vezi tarifa.

Covek jesnostavno ne moze da ne bude najbolji, I kad gubi. 😃

 

Sad svi da traze pare nazad kao governor Ilanoja danas, 8 milijardi dolara. 🙂

 

 

 

 

[Malkolm Brogdon]

Supreme Court odlucio da su Trampove tarife ilegalne, ovaj se naljutio pa dodao svima worldwide jos 10% u stilu osmogodisnjaka.

 

Uspavao se na sastanku Board of peace, ili sto bi neko napisao "bored of peace".

 

 

Alocirao prakticno sam sebi 10 milijardi dolara

 

 

Preko DOJ razvukli masivan baner sa njegovom facom. Sve ovo u malo vise od poslednjih 24h.

 

Jedva cekam State of the Union da vidim sta ce da izbaljezga.

[McLeod]

Gde su oni koji su pravili milion memeova na Bajdenov pad s bicikla, lik ga je prejebao po demenciji vec sad

[Malkolm Brogdon]

Pitanje je dana kad ce da se oklizne i da spomene da je bio na ostrvu ili nesto slicno, evidentno je da je inhibicija sve slabija.

[Smrtokapa]

Ovaj Trampova dremka je zapravo power move, ko u Ratu i miru kad Kutuzov zakunta pred Bitku kod Austerlica.

Nedavno smo na topiku mogli da pročitamo tvrdnju kako je X slobodna mreža, na kojoj se podjednako čuje svaki (politički) glas. To baš i nije tačno.

 

Research Shows X Amplifies Conservative Political Views

 

Quote

We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm. These results suggest that initial exposure to X’s algorithm has persistent effects on users’ current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship.

 

Quote

The Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post have also published their own separate analysis reports, both of which demonstrate how X now amplifies right-leaning political content over left-leaning perspectives. In addition, Queensland University published a report that found X’s algorithm pushes pro-Republican accounts.

 

Quote

In some ways, Musk himself could be the best indicator of X’s political leanings, and potentially, the most significant single factor that drives opinion in the app. And with Musk clearly leaning towards the conservative, it seems logical that X will also lean this way.

Šok i neverica. 

 

Sad će gromovnik da ti objasni.

Ahhh sistem funkcionise? A mene ste zamalo uverili da je fasisticki diktator.

Sta guverner IL ima da trazi, na koji nacin tarife imaju veze sa njim, ozbiljno pitam.

 

Naravno, Trump ima nacine da zakonski ponovo uvede tarife, ovo je samo presuda da ne moze da koristi emergency act.

Zanimljiv clanak. Navodi paralele sa Nixonom i Watergate skandalom, pa pokazuje kako bi se danasnja situacija mogla razviti.

 

Dramatic developments show Trump's presidency on the verge of collapse

 

ByThom Hartmann - Commentary

February 21, 2026 8:02AM ET

 

We’ve only had one genuinely failed presidency in the modern era: Richard Nixon’s. I believe we’re on the verge of the second, and for very similar reasons. If it plays out the way I expect, the consequences could be world-changing, and will certainly alter how our politics work for decades to come.

The tipping point began in a big way when Attorney General Pam Bondi went before Congress to defend Donald Trump. When asked how many of Epstein’s co-conspirators she’d indicted, she refused to answer and instead completely lost it, going off on a bizarre rant that included:

“Donald Trump signed that law to release all of those documents. He is the most transparent president in the nation’s history. None of them asked Merrick Garland over the last four years one word about Jeffrey Epstein.
“Donald Trump — The Dow — the Dow right now is over 50,000. The S&P at almost 7,000 and the Nasdaq smashing records. Americans’ 401(k)s and retirement savings are booming. That’s what we should be talking about.”

 

Nobody was buying it any more than when Trump said on Wednesday of this week, “I’ve been totally exonerated. I did nothing.”

Instead, both became punch lines for comedians and have Republicans hiding to avoid being interviewed.

And on Thursday we saw the bookend of this Watergate-like tipping point, when the former Prince Andrew was arrested by the British police. They didn’t even give the royal family an advance notice, didn’t invite him to come and be questioned, but instead just showed up and took him away, then tore apart his residences looking for evidence.

Consider the analogy.

The Watergate scandal that brought Nixon down began in June 1972, but Nixon didn’t resigned until August 1974. It crossed over his re-election in November 1972, and was barely a factor, just like Epstein was only a footnote to Trump’s election in 2024. For over two years, most Americans thought Watergate was overblown.

Early reporting in the mainstream media largely dismissed the initial furor of Democrats over their headquarters’ offices being broken into as partisan huffing and puffing, because almost nobody thought Nixon himself had anything to do with the crime.

Conservative media at the time ridiculed Democrats’ concerns as political opportunism, calling the event — as Nixon himself said — “A third-rate burglary.” The legal system was largely disinterested, beyond holding the burglars themselves to account for a crime where it wasn’t clear that anything was even taken from the offices.

And the Nixon administration — and his Department of Justice and its leader, Attorney General John Mitchell — ridiculed both politicians and media folks who expressed concern that Watergate represented an actual threat to our constitutional system of government.

What changed when the tapes were finally released (analogous to the release of 3 million documents by the DOJ and Bondi’s evasive testimony) was that Americans finally realized that the president was, in fact, “a crook” and that the institutions of the federal government — particularly the DOJ — had been covering up for him.

We’re damn close to that moment now.

The recent DOJ release included reference to a report that a 13-15-year old girl reported to the FBI that Trump beat her up when she bit his penis as he forced her to perform oral sex.

This week, reporter Roger Sollenberger found that she was interviewed at least four times by the FBI and those more in-depth interviews ­(case number 3501.045) had mysteriously gone entirely missing from the documents released by Patel and Bondi.

The story made a headline on the conservative news site Drudge Report, among others; this mirrors the period immediately before Nixon resigned when rightwing sites and elected Republicans stopped publicly defending him.

Nixon fell when institutional America and the GOP stopped speaking out in his defense. It wasn’t just the break-in or the hush money he paid the burglars that broke the dam; it was when the elite consensus turned on him.

Late in the evening on Aug. 7th, 1974, three Republican leaders — Barry Goldwater, Hugh Scott, and John Rhodes — walked over to the White House and told President Nixon that the evidence against him had accumulated beyond spin, loyalty, and even partisan defense. The center of gravity had shifted, and two days later he was gone.

I’m not suggesting Trump is losing his presidency this week or next; after all, Watergate took over two years and Nixon didn’t have Fox “News” or 1,500 rightwing radio stations or Vladimir Putin and Elon Musk churning social media on his behalf. Trump has a much more powerful firewall than Nixon ever dreamed of. It may sustain him for months or even another year.

And, as president, he has a lot of tools at his disposal to keep changing the subject, which is where these revelations about Trump could become “world changing” if he comes sufficiently desperate.

A war with Iran appears to be his latest gambit. During Watergate, Nixon’s aides developed what they called a “modified limited hangout,” a strategy not of disproving the scandal but of suffocating it in the media by overwhelming the public with competing announcements, threats, events, and crises.

Nonetheless, while Americans will tolerate misconduct, abuse of office to escape accountability is an entirely different animal. And allegations of child rape are a much bigger deal than breaking into the DNC; Nixon didn’t even participate, he just gave the orders and supervised the cover-up. Trump, on the other hand, appears to be right in the middle of Epstein’s operation, perhaps even including his teen modeling agency and Miss Teen USA pageant.

It’s a cliché that “the coverup is worse than the crime,” but they keep doing it.

And now it’s metastasizing beyond Epstein.

Bondi and Patel insist the Epstein investigation is closed. Kristi Noem and Kash Patel refuse to give Minnesota police evidence in the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. ICE defies over 4,400 court orders and refuses members of Congress or the press entrance to its brutal concentration camps. Trump goes after the FBI agents who uncovered Putin’s efforts to make him president in 2016. He and his family make $4 billion off his presidency in less than a year. Trump sucks up to Putin.

Trump’s level of criminality and corruption exceeds Nixon’s by orders of magnitude.

The coverups were why Nixon’s Attorney General John Mitchell went to prison, as did his Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman, his Assistant for Domestic Affairs John Ehrlichman, his Special Counsel Charles Colson, and his White House Counsel John Dean (who’s since been a frequent guest on my radio/TV program).

That has to be waking Pam Bondi and others around Trump up at night. And it should be giving pause to every elected Republican facing the November midterms.

Every Watergate moment looks impossible right up until the hour it becomes inevitable. And when that hour arrives, it never feels sudden to those who carefully read history; only to the people who insisted, until the very end, that it could never happen here.

Sad sam videla Pritzkerovo objasnjenje 😀 mislim da stvarno ne zeli da Trump posalje cekove. 

Ne razumem tvoj komentar, ovo je izgubio na SC, ali tako sistem funkcionise, zato imamo tri grane vlasti. Ne moze bas sve da dobije. Medjutim uvek je postojao plan B. Ono sto je ocigledno je da Kongres ne radi svoj posao, jer svim predsednicima daje sve vise moci. Dok SC ocigledno radi svoj posao.

Iščekuje ceo svet nove carinske stope od dodatnih 10 %, a što da ne i 20,30,50 % ako Fuhrera bude i dalje nervirao Vrhovni sud. A uvek može i da nađe neki zakon iz V veka p.n.e.

[HAMMER]

njemu od midtermsa bukvalno zavisi ovaj drugi prezidensi jer mu impicment visi za vratom ako demokrate dobiju.

[melankolic]

Nema od impičmenta ništa.
Preuzeo je sve bezbednosne službe, rasterao profesionalne i doveo lojaliste i šarlatane, vojsku je počistio od razumnih, mejnstrim mediji mu se klanjaju ili su na nivou “Insajdera” u Srbiji, mase se stalno drže u stanju neizvesnosti i pretnji, demokrate su jake samo na rečima bez liderskih sposobnosti, republikanci su potonuli u fašizam i sad još i ove stateški najavljene vojne i ekonomske  intervencije proizvode dodatni haos. 
To je klasična strategija populista i diktatora- izazivanjem konstantnih kriza zamagljuju se pravi problemi.

Nixon je bio apsolutni amater i imao je jakog protivnika na ulicama, javnom mnjenju i politici. Ovo sada je apsolutni sumrak demokratije i na ivici noža je opšti sukob unutar države.

[Nek grmi jako]

Koliko su zapravo bile besmislene kategorizacije po kojima su republikanci monolitni pod Trampom i koliko toj monolitnosti doprinosi i Vrhovni sud, videli smo u dva slučaja koja su se desila u par dana: prvi je odluka Vrhovnog suda o carinama, a drugi intervju Takera Karlsona sa američkim ambasadorom u Izraelu Majkom Hakabijem.

 

I da li je neko u trenucima te apsurdnosti, koja najbolje potvrđuje kako su se neke stare karakteristike pokazale bespredmetno smešnim, dakle kada se povlačio znak jednakosti između monolitnosti republikanaca, odluka Vrhovnog suda i stava konzervativaca prema Izraelu, mogao da i zamisli scenu u kojoj Karlson sleće na Aerodrom Ben Gurion, provodi dva i po sata rešetajući američkog ambasadora u nekoj aerodromskoj čekaonici, a zatim beži nazad u SAD, a da pošteno nije ni udahnuo izraelski vazduh?! 

 

I čim su avionski motori utihnuli, krenulo je čerupanje, pa je Taker izjavio da su mu producente ispitivali kao špijune, dok ga Hakabi, bez mnogo uvijanja, naziva lažovom. Ali ta njihova svađa je samo ukras za pravu dramu koja je u samom intervjuu, a koji je postao autopsija jedne velike podele unutar republikanaca koja će definisati njihovu narednu deceniju i vreme posle Trampa.

 

Jer kad se "Božansko pravo" sudarilo sa realnošću, jadni Hakabi je izgledao poprilično izgužvano, pa se čovek koji je navikao da mu republikanci automatski kliču, odjednom našao pred zidom nerazumevanja nekog novog republikanskog auditorijuma. 

 

Bivši guverner Arkanzasa i verovatno najvatreniji hrišćanski ljubitelj Izraela kojeg je Vašington ikada poslao u Jerusalim, nastupio je sa starom pričom po kojoj Jevreji imaju božansko pravo na zemlju, dok palestinski identitet za njega kao i da ne postoji. Ali Karlson je došao na izraelski aerodrom sa naoštrenom olovkom i sa jasnim ciljem da skine neke maske. I kada je pitao da li biblijsko obećanje o zemlji od Nila do Eufrata znači da Izrael treba da proguta pola Bliskog istoka, Hakabi je ispalio da bi bilo u redu da Izraelci sve to zauzmu. 

 

Posle se pravdao da je to bila samo hiperbola, ali duh je izašao iz boce.

 

Kada ga je Taker pritisnuo pitanjem o stradanju dece u Gazi, Hakabi je posegnuo za standardnim arsenalom u kome su četrnaestogodišnjaci operativci Hamasa, a izraelska vojska moralnija od svih drugih, uključujući i američku. Karlson mu je tada postavio jednostavno pitanje:

 

Čuješ li ti sebe?

 

I tako je čačnuo tamo gde drugi ne smeju ili ne žele, a nadalje je, fudbalskom terminologijom, postavljao glavu tamo gde drugi ne postavljaju ni - nogu. Pitao je zašto se Hakabi tajno sastao sa Džonatanom Polardom, špijunom koji je SAD olakšao za brdo dokumenata, a Trampa nazvao ludakom. Hakabi je na to slegnuo ramenima i nešto bulaznio o "kurtoaznoj poseti", a još neprijatnije je bilo pitanje o američkim pedofilima koji u Izraelu nalaze sigurno utočište, poput onog visokog zvaničnika Toma Aleksandroviča.

 

I tu je taj prelomni momenat koji moraju da priznaju i kritičari Karlsona, jer se zbog takvih pitanja neretko završava u nekoj rupi. Kao što i zbog ovakvih formata propagandne kuće zaodenute u plašt mejnstrim medija nepovratno gube bitku za gledanost...

 

Ispostavilo se, videli smo, da Hakabijeva teologija, skrojena za aplauze u crkvama Arkanzasa, nije dizajnirana da preživi unakrsno ispitivanje, pa kad ga je Karlson, pokazujući zašto ovakve njegove intervjue gledaju desetine miliona ljudi, pitao o razlici između "naroda zaveta" i sekularnih osnivača države, Hakabi više nije znao da li je Izrael levo ili desno od Albukerkija.

 

Jer, brojke ne lažu, a mlađi republikanci još manje, pa dok Hakabi drži propovedi, Karlson - koji svako jutro čita Bibliju - osvaja teren podacima iz 2025. godine, brutalnim za stari gardu, po kojima je 53% republikanaca mlađih od 45 godina protiv novih 38 milijardi dolara za oružje Izraelu, a 41% svih republikanaca sada ima nepovoljan stav prema izraelskoj vladi.

 

Karslon je i ranije otvoreno pričao o uticaju koji ima AIPAC i tome kako ljudi stradaju čim postave neko pitanje, pa ga je organizacija StopAntisemitism odmah proglasila Antisemitom godine a Bibi ga nazvao - nacistom, ali njega to ne dotiče jer zna da je njegov završni udarac onaj koji najviše boli prosečnog glasača u SAD, dok ga glasači u Izraelu mnogo manje zanimaju.

 

Pa kaže: Ljut sam na svoje zakonodavce što ne štite moju zemlju sa brigom kojom su štitili Izrael...

 

I tu dovodi priču na teren gde se sukobljavaju čekovne knjižice i glasačka baza...

Dugo je, naime, hrišćansko-izraelski pakt stajao na tri stuba: teologiji, namenskoj industriji i izbornoj strategiji. Prva dva su se ozbiljno poljuljala, a ostao je samo onaj treći – novac.

 

Milijarderka Mirijam Adelson, kao najveća živa čuvarka interesa izraelskog političkog sistema u SAD, istresla je 106 miliona dolara za Trampa i sada, uz ekipu poput Polsona i Singera, juri glavu Tomasa Masija, onog retkog republikanca koji ne uzima novac iz AIPAC koverte. 

 

Tramp je već stao na stranu novca, nazivajući Masija - mrziteljem Izraela.

 

Jasno je, međutim, da glavno pitanje nije da li republikanci mrze Izrael, jer je jasno da ako od dve strane američkog političkog spektra neka zaista mrzi Izrael, to svakako nije konzervativna strana. 

 

Pitanje svih pitanja zapravo je da li može čekovna knjižica Mirijam Adelson da kupi politiku koju Hakabi više ne ume da odbrani, a America First publika više ne želi da puši?
