Storage is nice, especially if it doesn't rotate
In the Trump-ed up America Great Again world, along with most major newspapers, the 3 major (non-Fox) broadcast TV networks, Associated Press, CNN, . . .
From https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trumps-anti-media-rhetoric-turns-action-rcna191949:
"The president has prevented The Associated Press from entering the Oval Office while his FCC goes after other media outlets."
From https://apnews.com/article/trump-ap-journalism-first-amendment-8a83d8b506053249598e807f8e91e1ae:"White House bars AP reporter from Oval Office because of AP style policy on ‘Gulf of America’"
etc., etc.BTW, along with Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, he has renamed the FCC to the Fascist Communications Commission.

From another commie-pinko website, https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/03/epa-launches-full-assault-on-environmental-protection:
In related news, Donald Trump has announced that the EPA will stand for Environmental Pollution Agency.
. . . the Trump administration’s widely anticipated assault on regulation on all fronts at once, announcing 31 separate actions to roll back restrictions on air and water pollution

Storage? I am Storage!
All this is going exactly as I predicted. We're going to destroy the planet, make workers virtual slaves, treat women and girls like property, all so a few billionaires can become richer. We have to stop this by any means necessary.

This week, Citi and UBS analysts independently issued blanket investment advice to seek European and Chinese securities and investments over those in the US. China's economy is a mess; it keeps trying to jump start a consumer economy and it has a negative trending real estate market because it's already overbuilt, but these guys whose advice moves money to the tune of tens of billions of dollars are saying THAT is a better idea than leaving money in the chaos that is Trump's regulatory regime.
And he's STILL talking about taking Canada and Greenland somehow.
Also, there are laws in this country about how long we can go without a legal budget. Our current Congress has decided that, rather than follow those rules, that the FLOW OF TIME has stopped for administrative purposes. Which is not a power I knew that humanity had. So that's neat.
Universities are revoking granted degrees from graduates known to have participated in non violent protests against Israel in Gaza and a legal alien is currently being held without charges because the current administration believes that mere public dissent is enough reason to deport him.
I suspect mass protest season is going to get real, real ugly this year. None of the BLM actions I went to in 2020 were as bad as the ones in Portland or Minneapolis, but I suspect the administration will try to implement actual orders to fire on lawful demonstrations this year. They'll blame it on Antifa before declaring that even protesting makes someone Anti fascist and thus subject to these consequences.
I also think Congress will go right ahead and approve a state of emergency this summer so they can go ahead and give Trump imperial control of the government. National level Democrats have been worthless in all of this. Our only real hope is that states and cities remain independent enough to keep national guard and full military forces from being used to override local government. I truly think they'll try to cancel elections. We're there already. The writing is on the wall.
