He can't believe Canada would do this to him.

You should totally build your factory on this very large pile of dynamite because the cackling madman over there might not light the fuse.

It's almost as if, and stay with me here, domestic and global financial markets don't have the attention span of a goldfish.

Two weeks before the election. Trump was loudly announcing that he would "fix" the economy with mass tariffs two weeks before the election. Anyone who claims they couldn't see this coming is either lying or so breathtakingly stupid they probably shouldn't be out in public without a handler.

A month ago these same people were all about crypto-bros and the stock market, despite those being the literal opposite of "working with your hands". It's just the latest iteration of their isolationist, nativist, "My opinion is whatever makes me right" worldview.

Trump tariffs based on massive error, conservative think tank says The error over-inflates tariff rates by about a factor of four, AEI's economists say.

Remember that time we crashed the strongest economy on Earth because the administration forgot to double-check ChatGPT's math before launching the stupidest trade war in history?

I really don't know how to feel about this. Like, pulling a protection detail as punishment for disloyalty is unequivocally wrong, but also may be don't be an irredeemable warmonger who openly calls for the destruction of a foreign nation if you don't want people to want you dead.

Trump gets all the headlines, but you're absolutely right in the GOP owning this. Trump is fairly limited in power if Congress simply told him 'no' and threatened targeted budget holds and legal action for noncompliance.
Republicans are destroying this country.

Ironically, this tactic highlights something they really try to keep quiet: undocumented immigrants pay taxes, which go to services they themselves frequently do not qualify for. They contribute far more than they take.

"He doesn't really mean it" has been the rallying cry of Trump supporters for a decade now. Which is a bizarre position to take with someone they claim should be in charge of everything.

Even when they "figure it out" they still have to hang on to at least a little bit of brain-rot propaganda like it's absolutely foundational to their world view. "Trump Derangement Syndrome" was never a thing. It was an excuse to ignore criticism and warnings about a profoundly dangerous person.

all that money was woke, you see

To be fair, they say the camera subtracts 500 points.

happy liberation day. I just got liberated from ~30% of my income. thank u president.

Elon Musk, well known for his grace and humility when being publically rejected. This will be gasoline on a dumpster fire.

If you think that any one of us couldn't become an "administrative error", you're not paying attention. It's taken us barely two months to get to this point. Two months.

I asked my waitress in Savannah about Trump’s suggestion that he’d run for a third term. She said she disapproves of violating the Constitution but added that the election is years away, and ultimately she’d vote for whatever candidate ran the most alarming anti-trans ad.

once again, "having rizz" is paying homage to rizzo the rat. not many people know this

France is moving far too fast against Marine Le Pen.

You forgot the part where coal industry bosses waited until Trump won to come out and admit that Hillary was right and coal couldn't compete with natural gas.

Interesting that you support onerous government regulations yet you’re also a fan of many superheroes who got their powers from workplace accidents 🤔

Him existing in that group in the first place is likely the biggest story he was going to get out of it. Leaving when he did was the smart decision.

So many great questions to be asked in the non-stop Congressional hearings that should be going on from now until 2029.

If the US weathers this administration and still survives as a semi-functional democracy, there had better be Nuremberg-style trials for everyone who had a hand in these blatantly illegal and inhumane acts. "Just following orders" was found to be an inadequate defense a loooong time ago.

Did Cheeto Jesus already pass a nationwide ban on mask requirements, or am I just assuming that's in the pipeline?

Buying loyalty, plain and simple. The other guys followed orders by the chain of command, and that doesn't always go in the dictator's favor. The rebels he "personally" paid, on the other hand...

Pretty sure that deciding you don't like someone anymore based on their actions and associations is a very obvious example of "thinking for yourself" there, Benjamin.
