For all his warts, GWB did one thing right : PEPFAR, which is credited with saving tens of millions of lives.

Trump ended USAID last year. An estimated 700,000 have died, mostly children with AIDS. All of which could have been prevented.

What next ? Melania ticket sales aren't real ?

Corporations are not good people. Or people.

He already murdered an estimated 700,000 people with HIV, mostly children, in the last year alone, by ending USAID.

These officers also should be required to "show their papers". There have been many cases of masked ICE impersonators.

Call it what it is - a regime, not an administration.

Please lose the term "normal". How about "rational" ?

Wait until you learn about the "white" house.

Now do project managers.

No argument from me. And unfortunately, the institutions that are supposed to constrain him have all abdicated their role. Some checks and balances we have.

I disagree about trust not being needed to trade. Even the US' own corporations can't plan when the tariffs change willy nilly on the whims of the dicktraitor. Of course, the foreign policy impact is even bigger.

Sadly. With at least 1 stolen seat.

Turned it into a meme, with a 1-word change.

Yes. Should be white supremacists.

It's not just the number of uninformed or non voting citizens. The US electoral system protects wealthy white landowners. The electoral college and the Senate, with 2 senators per state, are highly effective at suppressing democratic voices. Europe doesn't have such an anachronistic system.

Close to one of the tshirt designs I made last year.

Will the new white house ballroom be ready for those parties, so the people can dance on his grave ?

I'm not that optimistic. Tariffs are only one part of it. The US is no longer being viewed as a reliable partner, economically or not. The word and signature of otherwise. Previous treaties are no longer being honored. This may affect the reserve currency status of the US dollar.

It makes sense in retrospect. Predictions are useful to investors only to the extent that they are probable, and their timing, though. No one can time markets. I believe the Trump regime will cause deep and lasting damage to both the US and world economy. To what extent and when, I don't know.

True. But one year is a fairly short term investment period. 2025 was an outlier. US stocks over longer periods have vastly outperformed.

Respect does not belong in the same sentence at Trump.

Just in time to start polling of the Melania movie ratings.

Ordinary people serving on grand juries have become a new front line in the resistance against the Trump regime.

They’re saying no to Trump’s vicious prosecutions, and no to the federal prosecutors pursing them. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-citizens-revolt

But he is still here.

She is malevolent.

Either corruption, or kompromat. Or both.

I always look at the source when reading something. Often following the link. Maybe this didn't reach Weiss, she was on vacation, or they only want to be Fox News lite. Or someone is going to get punished for doing journalism.
