The most infuriating part is that Trump can’t make his mind if the tariffs are a negotiation tool for those 70 beautiful trade deals, or a revenue generator to eliminate income tax.
The first rule of Youth Club is that we never talk about Youth Club.
Yeah, he’s the tops, all right. Much like New Mexico: so high on all the “bad” lists and low on the “good” ones…
I forgot to say the firehose of madness is international
Greenland military exercise caught on tape.
I thought his number was 666.
What is the protocol when the president is receiving a salute from a service member?
And then I also noticed that he shows zero acknowledgement that they are even there.
And finally, damn that a cold departure between a man and wife. They both look like they want to get away from one another as fast as they can.
I wonder if they feel dirty afterwords.
Fascinating that Trump thinks it’s ok to declare economic war on the whole world. Because the rest of the world has no economic weapons to fight back with? Or something. Surprise
And he also expects the whole world to which he declared economic war help him beat China
He ought to be in a crib with a diaper…
I know! Having a targeted list of all Americans cross referenced with income data is pretty much the Holy Grail of advertisers everywhere. Boy, a social media platform with that is going to just be able to print money.

On “60 Minutes” Scot Pelley did a great job of explaining why Executive Producer Bill Owens resigned rather than allow any apparent loss of journalistic integrity.
“None of our stories has been blocked, but Bill felt he lost the independence that honest journalism requires. No one here is happy about it. But in resigning, Bill proved one thing – he was the right person to lead 60 Minutes all along,” he said.
I saw that TSF was demanding an on-air apology and an acknowledgment of wrong-doing for the Kamala Harris interview as part of fulfilling TSF’s demands on CBS (he’s also demanding big $$$$$) and Owens refused to go along with it.

When the plan is to fuck over millions of people in a short period there really is no time for something as clunky and slow as “due process”
Yeah, and wouldn’t you love to see it applied to the First Felon himself, and all his Maladministration and Billionaire Buds? And why not? PRECEDENT!!
It’s almost certain that consumers are changing their purchasing habits though. Stocking up on items that might become scarce, fixing up present cars instead of purchasing new ones at inflated prices. Putting off discretionary purchases, like new electronic devices, cameras, etc.

I can’t stand this any more. “Subsidize Canada”? We are exchanging money for goods.
It would seem the most straightforward solution would be to simply stop importing all those worthless goods we get in exchange for our ‘subsidies.’
Cut the subsidies, too, and then everyone will see what’s going on.

One of the reasons I always cast a jaundiced eye at our “politics as sporting matches” culture.
Well, I’m sure the GOP is very happy with the increased diversity of “thought” these groups represent.
On a more serious note, sadly this is functionally no different than the youth groups the Christian Nationalists have been running for decades. There is the deception that the Christian Nationalists are teaching about Jesus and patriotism, but the actual end results are indistinguishable.
