Or in reality TV terms, the inevitable sequel to "Liberation Day, the Making of Donald Trump's New American Economy as Poster Board Show"

This couldn't happen without the screwups of DOGE and Musk's hacksaw approach to cutting government funding, all part of Project 2025's agenda to privatize government services. That's Duffy's "concern"-- more like his mandate.

We need their precious metals, cookie, and they're not going to sell them to us as long as your boy plays this stupid game.

Just selling the sitcom: episode one, do the charts with the lies; two, crank up the mega/MAGA tariffs for the working man; three, do the two hour speech about countries groveling for better deals; four, claim victory, make sure your rich friends make a killing on rising stocks, then retreat.

Can we get more of this? โ€œThe Japanese American National Museum will โ€˜scrub nothing,โ€™ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI.

Liberating us from our money to give it to his rich friends. That's what this is all about. All this WWII we need to sacrifice bullshit is nonsense, deflecting from the real issues--they're all power hungry greedy bullies who prey on the rest of us.

They know they can't get rid of this. They want to privatize everything. Everything.

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

And Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin and the other weaklings couldn't stand up to them. And they wonder why progressive people don't identify as Dems anymore.

It's the MAGA government, not the Americans. Most Americans think this is crazy, wrongheaded, terrible.
