If you follow me on Farcebook or Instascam, I am (hopefully) noticeably absent:

Boycotting both May 5 through May 10 since Suckerberg seems to have little interest in curbing misinformation

That unfortunately is beyond the intellectual grasp and negotiating skills of the Mango Moron.

However, it is red meat for his (usually) financially illiterate base...

Truth or dare:

Do we really want low paying marginally skilled jobs and the pollution that often comes with them coming back to the US?

Lower gas prices--if it means living next door to a refinery?

What some (most) of us want is for the Chinese to stop counterfeiting US goods and copying tech

Rumors abound that Scott Bessent is the only adult in the room...

Diplomacy requires a certain amount of tact, something THIS administration clearly lacks. China responds with levies of its own, sending stocks into another tailspin. But the rhetoric took a personal turn as Beijing called out Vice President JD Vance for his reference to Chinese peasants. Smooth.

"Businesses have filed hundreds of requests in recent months to the US Trade Representative for exemptions on China tariffs for machinery needed to set up US production lines and that they say cannot be sourced domestically."

(from Bloomberg)

...and these exemptions: Who or what donors get them?

...and let's NOT talk about the bottom feeders who are poised to swoop in and buy at "fire sale" prices.
We pretend to be a Christian nation: Is it now time to throw the Wall Street money changers out???

Rubio says ‘economies aren’t crashing, markets are crashing.’ What a relief!
He will later explain how folks who WERE relying on 401Ks and IRAs that ARE in equities are just imagining problems and every thing will be okay as long as we give billionaires more tax breaks--or something like that.

The robot that takes your job: Will it pay taxes or pay into Social Security?

Asking for a friend...

Medicare Advantage. A joke IMHO I'm paying for services that aren't actually available.

In 2025, (we) estimate that Medicare will spend about 20 percent more for MA enrollees than it would spend if those people were enrolled directly in FFS Medicare, a projected $84 billion difference,

Ratcliffe denies Signal chat leak was a huge mistake?

Is the implication that someone inside this administration is deliberately trying to expose the gross incompetency and lax security--maybe even undermine the Mango Moron?

...asking for a friend.

More headaches for Tesla? Chinese automaker BYD unveiled a line-up of electric vehicles that it says can charge almost as fast as it takes to refuel a regular car. The new battery system allows for 400 kilometers of range in just five minutes of charging—that’s quicker than anything else out there.

EPA chief Lee Zeldin announced the potential gutting of environmental and climate protections implemented by the Biden administration. The proposals line up with the Heritage Foundation’s far-right Project 2025 and came amid a series of EPA rollbacks likely to kneecap efforts to slow global warming

The US is exploring working with Gazprom on global projects. Partnering with the energy giant could mean closer ties with the Kremlin while Trump pushes a Ukraine peace deal. Putin hinted that energy cooperation could result in resuming supplies to Europe. Gas futures dropped 4.5% on that news.

Drill baby drill?

Wondering about the shit quality health care you seem to be getting?

"The US health-care system spends as much on billing and claims processing as it does on treating cancer—around $200 billion a year. "

Now there's something DOGE SHOULD address--or will that cut into corporate profits too much?

The nonstop bots and trolls on other social media sites?

Your first clue that most of us see through their BS and a desperate attempt to convince us of the righteousness of "their plan" --which seems to be divide, conquer and then empty the coffers

Awkward. Apparently Wall Street is letting us know how they REALLY feel about Shitstain and Doughboys policies

A "star on his high school dive team"--but it is apparent that neither one had done much diving in the bedroom

Wait for the Human Skidmark to start speaking, then stand as a group and solemnly walk out, please.

We've had enough of the lies and misinformation

Tesla stock is down almost 50% from it's Dec high!

Keep up the good work my friends.

...asking for a friend: What kind of parasites?

...and it could be a good thing--for the vultures who swoop in to buy at fire sale prices

"move fast and break things" (the doughboy) apparently rules out workplace and worker safety.

Looking forward to that--not!

You have friends that drank the Kool Aid?

"Musk’s companies are set to add $613 billion in value since the election and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has built a new dynasty on Wall Street as he hands control of Cantor Fitzgerald to his sons."

from Bloomberg

So much for draining the swamp..

Most of us more or less already saw this coming: More largess for the Billionaire Boys Club

(from Bloomberg)

"Congress meanwhile is considering major reductions to Medicaid in order to pay for the renewal of 2017 tax cuts"

The muskrat is now on his 13th attempt to (choose one)

A. Prove his sperm is not defective
B. Improve his parenting skills
C. Address overpopulation by having more children
D. Prove that women find him and not his money attractive

13 children--by how many different women? I detect mad parenting skills-- with him spending tremendous amounts of quality time with his children (when he is done running the country into the ground)

Just kidding.

Wagers on how damaged emotionally those children will be?

Elon Musk, embarrassed that he cannot make money without government contracts or subsidies, insists Open AI remain a non-profit.

Not a problem if he somehow assumes control...

Recipient of billions of dollars in federal funds, Elon Musk, will determine if he has any conflicts of interest in policing who gets federal funds.

And Mexican drug cartels will report to the police every time they break any laws. Honest!
