Analysis: "Trump’s Tariffs Give Him a New Way to Dole Out Reward and Punishment"
"Tariffs are a tool the president enjoys… He doesn’t have to go through Congress. He can exercise personal power.

@anandamide It’s very simple. There are some acolytes and I’ve forgotten most of their names but they did some stuff and now they must go to this other city except, no, wait, they’re going to a slightly different city. Just meeting up with the baddie from the last season because we do coffee now. It’s a thing. Ooh, look at the one in red walking in an evil way! PSYCH! We’re actually going to a different city! Oh no, they stole the McGuffins of power!

It’s just boring. It’s all boring.

@llondel Railing’s stupid invention would have sort of worked had they re-numbered after opening platform 0 because then 9 and 10 (present 8 and 9) would have had what is now the floor under the Parcel Yard pub between them.
I'm Sarah. I'm a Brit who fled to Portugal on account of Brexit, increasing intolerance and the British weather. I like climbing (although I can't do much any more for health reasons) and sailing. This is a Friendica account. Friendica is kinda like Facebook as Mastodon is kinda like Twitter, except they can talk to each other.
