Can someone tell me why Russia and China are winning in the trade war yet America seems to be collapsing?

The only thing we trade with Russia is the oil that funds their adventure on the frontier. Why China would be a winner, as they import a massive amount of food & fuel, and their economy relies on the US to subsidize shipping costs to the US? Meanwhile Trump is up 6 points with Democrats.

There are conspicuously very few "big law" firms on this list. I counted around 5 national firms I knew of. I saw Freshfields, which is a UK firms with offices in the US. The biggest and most profitable firms—almost all of them—are just waiting and playing possum. At the core of it, messing around with Trump is far worse for your bottom line than being a Twitter (or LinkedIn lmao) hero. Your big litigation client doesn't care about doing justice to Trump when it's their money and lawsuits that are being screwed with.

It's no doubt unconstitutional to bar them from federal buildings. There's a good Privileges and Immunities Clause argument going back to the Slaughterhouse Cases that the ability to freely come to government buildings, like federal courthouses, is a Privilege or Immunity under the Constitution. It could be extended to these other federal buildings.

BTW: in case people forgot this is the judge who called Trump a Dictator and Tyrant and donated 750K to the DNC in 2020 and is a director of a NGO whom will directly benefit from the FEMA money being released. But the RI appeals court ruled that of course there was no conflict of interest here.

That's nice. Now the judge can enforce it.

Oh wait, he can't? Huh, weird. Guess he can cry impotently then.

Man, who knew dealing with a corrupt judiciary was so simple? And weirdly similar to dealing with deranged Bluesky leftists.

Don't those only apply to people, of which Democrat lawyers are two categories removed from?

And I thought entering a building was a huge problem during J6?

The firms signed a legal brief supporting Perkins Coie, calling the president’s actions a threat “to the rule of law.” The largest firms declined to sign.

Hundreds of protesters turn out in European cities against Trump

FRANKFURT/BERLIN, April 5 (Reuters) - Hundreds of people protested in European cities on Saturday against U.S. President Donald Trump and his adviser Elon Musk, following a bruising week for financial markets after Trump unveiled sweeping global tariffs.

In the German city of Frankfurt, the "Hands Off!" demonstration was organised by Democrats Abroad, the official organisation of the Democratic Party for U.S. citizens living overseas.

In Berlin, protesting in front of a Tesla showroom, demonstrators held placards calling on fellow Americans living in Germany to protest for "an end to the chaos" at home.

Gathering at Frankfurt's Opernplatz, members of the overseas Democrats group demanded the resignation of the U.S. president, with placard slogans reading "Restore Democracy", "Hands off our personal data" and "The world is tired of your bullshit Donald, be gone!"

In Berlin, slogans directed at Musk read "Shut up Elon, no one voted for you," and a dog wore a sign that said "Dogs against DOGE," referring to the Department of Government Efficiency run by senior adviser Musk, an initiative of the second Trump administration to reduce federal spending waste, fraud and abuse.

In the French capital of Paris, about 200 people, mostly American, gathered on the Place de la République to protest against Trump. Some gave speeches to denounce the president, with protesters waving banners ranging from "Resist Tyrant", "Rule of Law" "Feminists for Freedom not fascism" and "Save Democracy". One sang and played the Bob Dylan song Masters of War.

Protests against Trump and Musk were also held in other European cities, including London and Lisbon.

In the British capital, a few hundred people gathered in Trafalgar Square, holding signs saying "Proud American Ashamed" and "WTAF America?" The crowd chanted "Hands off Canada", "Hands off Greenland" and "Hands off Ukraine" while listening to speeches criticising Trump.

It's been mentioned a couple of times, but it's hilarious that all the signs are in English.
