Reporter: Wall Street analysts have a new term called the TACO trade.. Saying Trump always chickens out on tariffsโ€ฆ ย 

Trump: I kick out?

Reporter: Chicken out.

I have already canceled plans for a couple of trips and told US based airlines, hotels and rental car agencies why.

Have done the same to brands I cannot not buy anymore - write or call their customer service folk to say why and what you swapped in instead.

Give their economic loss a name.

In Trump's first term, I avoided the silly red places and only visited and spent money in the blue parts.

This time the whole country is off limits.

And largely because CPB were always cunts on power trips - and they've got free reign now.

Was it the right reaction? Probably not, but better than many others.

Next time, all of you shouldn't show up. That makes it a partisan address.

Hold an event immediately outside the Capitol the fascists would have to enter and exit through. Get TV cameras on that

Don't be sadโ€”everything is temporary, including those who run the show with their executive orders day after day, including the super wealthy who count their fortunes in marble halls.

So, do what Canada aka "the 51st State" did years ago?

Perhaps the USA should be our 11th province, because your bold new ideas are old.

I've canceled an American vacation and told the spaces I booked why. The more people realize their bottom lines are directly affected, the better.

Already canceled an American vacation and told Brand USA as much. No way I spend a dime in the USA unless it's an emergency and I have no choice. Will return when under new management.

Gutfield is the least qualified white male "comic" since Kenny Bania.

A four-panel comic called Cartooning Benefits Package. The benefits are: "Vacation Time", showing a cartoonist in the shower. "Health Insurance" shows a failing GoFund Me campaign for a sick cartoonist. "Retirement" shows a cartoonist's gravestone. In the background are tombstones for a musician and a writer. Because this comic is applicable to other creative people and freelancers and that is acknowledged by the inclusion of those other tombstones. (there are always people who chime in about how a joke or comic or post doesn't include their particular field or medium. For gosh sakes, I know it's the same shit-show for all creatives. I'm writing about my field, largely for people acquainted with comics and cartooning. Folks can go write a story or sing a song or design a game about the lack of benefits in their field, I won't bother anyone if they don't mention artists or cartoonists)

As a resident of territory under consideration of US expansion, I cordially invite vice-president elect Trump to fuck off, and president-elect Musk needs to go to rehab.

Biden should override all of this with emergency funding that times out the moment Trump is inaugurated.

Let him own every bit of the chaos.

Imagine thinking that's even remotely the cause of the deficit.
Representatives haven't had a pay raise in 15 years. Even the useless performative rage clowns in the GOP deserve one.

Most Canadians have no interest in doing this, even under sane American leadership.

Those who did, like failed professor and psychologist Benzo Kermit, left. And good riddance to them.
