No, they don't. Only you and Vought want the tariffs. It's part of the grift/ destroying America.

Not sure when this photo was taken, but don't confuse protocols for endorsement. Netanyahu is a foreign head of state and photo-ops like this are sometimes required acts of politesse. And before the backlash starts, Bibi is as much a monster as Putin and Trump. May they all burn in hell.
Yes, create spectacle, but also to gin up the protests to justify a live-fire response, thus giving him an entree to claiming sedition. He's been chomping at that bit since 2017.
I'm having difficulty deciding if they are just that dumb, if they think that we are that dumb or if it is some combination of both. Regardless, it is disturbing watching the Dunning-Krueger effect in action by so many in this administration.
What is it with these guys and this word salad that they spew? We stand a better chance of getting "Hamlet" from 1000 monkeys on typewriters than these asswipes making sense answering a simple question.
Jr's brain is too far gone for that to have any effect. Between the damage caused by addiction, the dysphonia and whatever amoebas he picked up in that last swim in the creek, the brain worm is probably the only thing keeping him upright.
Why do these guys hate other human beings so much? Altman, Musk, Thiel, etc. must be so broken inside that they cannot stand the thought of human interaction and labors so much that they must eliminate them. This is not a function of neurodivergence; this is a deep soul sickness.
So, I wonder what Benny's FSB code name is?
I've smelled used fish wrappers that stink less than this digital rag.
Their share will be yellow, wet and warm.
Propagandists.
The Fourth Estate has fallen. Our founding fathers intended us to have an informed electorate, but they have been captured by the current attention economy. It’s up to us to find a way out.
It is because, though he was born in America, he is not an American in his blood, in his bones or in his soul. There is no pride or love for it, only hatred and rage.
This has been the most frustrating thing for me. All of these issues are important, but Dem leadership and our voters have been missing the forest for the trees for decades now.
Martha wants to keep her job and the access it grants her. This is how they all dance for their corporate media owners. I miss her from her NPR days when she would ask hard questions with harder follow-up questions.
It's sad. These things were innately known when I was growing up. WTF happened to us?
This has been the plan all along. They want our populace stupid, angry and armed, and easily triggered (no pun intended) so that we lash out at each other with the slightest provocation. That's the entire point of the 2A crowd, anti-trans and all of the other culture war issues.
An idiot without an inanimate object will cause less harm that one with one. And then there is Gorka, who is both an idiot AND an inanimate, non-sentient object.
Expect to hear more and more about the trans issue. This is the new directive from leadership to distract from the current shitshow of Epstein and Trump's declining health. Kudos to Bell for calling this out. We need to do this every time they yell "squirrel."
And let me posit this: Do you think that all of the chatter about him running in '28, right or wrong, is an attempt by some to destroy the message by damning the messenger? That is classic PsyOps.
Fair enough. I haven't forgotten his flaws as much as I am supporting him now in this fight. Definitely not whitewashing. I believe that there more people out there that can walk and chew gum at the same time, but we shall see. Praying hard for that!
He's trying to win back all of the QAnon followers that he lost because of the Epstein file debacle. The poll numbers don't lie.
I don't think that even AI hallucinates this much.
We had this with Biden, to a certain extent. Unfortunately, that ancient Chinese curse has come true.
Now there is a diagnosis that you won't get from his bought-and-paid-for White House doctor.
Um, states' rights?
I felt that you deserved a more nuanced response. Please accept it with that intent.
Newsom may be in this very same mode, but I want to win this war and make sure that we CAN vote for a president in 2028. Do I hope that there are better Dem candidates than him? Fuck yes! but I will vote for him if the alternative is another MAGA admin. I cannot sacrifice the good for the perfect.
We need assholes in this war. Macarthur won significant battles in Japan and Korea. Would I want him as president? Hell, no! I still chafe at some of the comments he made as mayor of SF.
I disagree with that assessment. Speaking with those two knuckleheads was a mistake. I've heard him admit as such. He was trying to navigate this complex landscape that we are in. I think that he's found a better formula. It's rattling their cages.
No panties involved. You saying "fuck you", indicates that this is no longer a serious conversation. Continuing it is pointless as you will only lob more ad hominins if my position differs from yours. Go collect your hurts somewhere else.
You know nothing of what I do off of this board to support keeping our democracy. I have not missed a single vote since I turned 18. I vote for candidates that support the greater good. Go ahead, have all the fun you want. May you get everything you wish for... and choke on it. Goodbye.
Are you still talking about an election that is three years away? We don't win wars by only sending the "nice" people to fight. Will you focus on the fight at hand, for fuck's sake? Bringing a pillow to a gunfight is why we've been losing for the last 20 years. Still not crying. Nice try.
Also, I read your initial post as a troll post. My apologies for that misread, but my broader point still stands. Trump and his side must go down, and go down hard, as in the ending to the Civil War that we should have had. No one can be free until this scourge is eliminated.
Have I at any time said that I want Newsom for president? No. Do I want him rubbing Trump and MAGA's face in it every change he gets? Fuck yes. We need every person we can at the front lines. You can't let your feelings about him get in the way of the larger task.
You want to vote against him if/ when he runs for president, that is you right and privilege (for as long as we have them). In the meantime, don't take players off the board when we need all hands on-deck. Trump and MAGA and Heritage/ Project 2025 are the enemy. Focus on the task at hand!
Whose side are you on? Gavin hurt your feelings and you just can't get over it? JFC! We don't have time for any of your fucking purity tests. Its BS like this that got us into this mess in the first place.
Yay!
Let's get to the point that we can have elections again. That isn't until 2028. Like I told Zota, stop being so precious. You don't want Newsom for president, then don't vote for him, but we have to get there first. And I never said I want him as president either.
If there are no rules, why are you bitching about this? Until we can get back to regular order in this country, I'll accept anyone that is willing to fight. I'm not that precious. So how that face looking now that you've cut off your nose?
Also, how do you suggest that we counter what Trump and his party are doing to this country? Write a strongly worded letter? This strategy, as offensive as it may be, seems to be one of the few that is getting any traction, besides lawsuits.
Agreed.
Not a rage bot and he's my governor too, thank you, but I'm very upset that our country has taken this disgusting turn. I wish that the old rules and norms still applied, but they don't. Play the game you are in, not the one you want to be in.
The republicans (at least the politicos and operatives) knew it, but they wanted access to the power and the perquisites of their positions and toeing the line was the only way they saw forward, their oaths to the Constitution be damned. The rest are gullible sheep, fed on outrage and cruelty.
It's that blissful ignorance that is going to end our country, and probably without the fascists firing a single shot if these people cannot be bothered to pull their nose out of their phones and their heads out of their asses.
My God, you are obtuse. We get the joke. It's called mocking. He is taking every demented aspect of Trump that you have celebrated over the last 10 years and is throwing it right back in your face. And you guys are getting your panties in wad because you can't stand it. Have good cry, snowflake.
But please, not a red one. Blue works for me.
And that is all that Trump is about: branding.
But defacing our constitution, government and people is allowed? Damn!
This is not strength. It is weakness in its most banal form. These people are cowards to the bone.
The oath you swore was to uphold and protect the Constitution of the United States and it is still valid. What these traitors are doing does not invalidate it and I thank you for your service, past, present and future.
May their cruelty reflect back on them 1000-fold. I'll be there to help, if needed.
RFK Jr.: the Joseph Mengele of our times.
Ooh, yum! Which appetizers?
A good IV drip of bleach should clear that right up. He said it would work for COVID too!
Well, our SecDrunk is bringing them all out of storage, so there is that...
Isn't taxation without representation how this whole thing started 250 years ago? These Tories lost the first time, they lost in 1865 and they will lose again. The dumbshits never learn.
We'd run out of rocks!
Too late. It is already a diplomatic embarrassment, and you and your president are the lead culprits. You can throw Nutlick, sorry, Lutnick, in that group too.
It has always been a nexus of time, availability, food education/ familiarity and cost. It is a struggle for those with food insecurity who work multiple jobs to provide any calories for their families, thus the reliance on fast food.
I try to follow MLK's admonition to judge a person by the content of their character. In today's world, it is a daily struggle, but I've met too many assholes of every race, creed, color and gender that prove his words true and bolster me.
The word was used in quotes for effect, not to indicate any support for that asshole's position. It harkens back to the days of Jim Crow from close to 100 years ago. That is the world that Homan and his crew still live in.
Under any previous administration (#45 excluded), this monster would have been already in custody and under a serious psych evaluation. But under Trump? Crickets. They'd rather send body bags along with the thoughts and prayers.
So, tell me Ms. Levitt, when was the last time a prayer stopped a bullet? Would you care to stand in front of this wall, start praying and demonstrate for us how effective that is against an incoming round? You choose the caliber. We're waiting...
Anthony, they’ve taken that step. They just haven’t started shooting yet.
He definitely behaves in an anti-Christian manner. Maybe not spawn of the devil, but certainly one of his devoted minions.
Sounds like a self-own to me. I swear, they are so dense.
Is Grassley next? One can hope...
I think that her walking (whistling?) through the graveyard in that rebuttal video was the final nail in her coffin.
Was he sitting on a couch? If so, JD's gonna get jealous.
The South is trying to rise again. We must end this nascent Civil War now.
Museums are not for "making people feel warm and fuzzy inside". They're meant to document our world's history, in both geologic and human timescales, from our greatest successes to our most abject failures. Those who are too pained to look in this mirror need to grow a set or run to their safe space
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands..." These guys should be scared. We've done it once before. we can do it again.
It's all implied, even for the non "colored" folks.
This is what I want for so many of these stooges. www.youtube.com/watch?v=25_5...
This man, just like Mamdani (sp?) in NYC, scares the shit out of these establishment Dems. They don't give a damn about the party donors and are speaking directly to their constituents. I've heard multiple interviews, and he is a no-nonsense, get stuff done candidate. We need more people like him.
Regardless of any external actors, I don't think that he'll make it to the end of the year. The thing is none of his sycophants can command this cult of personality once he is gone. It will be like rats in a bucket, gnawing each other to death. These are my happy thoughts,
I doubt that he has a doctor monitoring any mental declination or other related symptoms. I swear, we are living in the movie "Idiocracy."
Sorry, but that was a definition of "fun" that I was not aware of, nor one that I wanted to be.
Unless you are rich, then spare no expense!
If they were in Texas, yeah!
It would be karmic retribution if he or a loved one of his got shot (not killed). His pivot on this position would be so fast...
Just to be clear, I'm referencing Bush.
Yeah, but you still got rolled by him. "Saw his soul", my ass!
I would love to see it become a mark of disenfranchisement. This is not a matter of supporting a different party; it is support of treason/ sedition.
Also, my use of the word "socialist" that they keep lobbing about refers to their claim that the government is capturing the means of production. Seems to be what this current WH is doing with their capture of business profits (i.e. Intel).
Fair enough. Acronym was the closest word that I could come up with at the time of my posting.
No, they can indict a ham sandwich, just not the guy who threw it.
I feel the same way about the Calvinists. This rotten thread has woven itself throughout American and Christian history as a blight. There is a throughline from these heretics all of the way through American slavery and the current Lost Cause revanchists.
Can't he just inject that bleach and be done with it?
No, that's where Corey is.
Poor rat!
If their lips move, they are lying.
It's not about any crime. It is all about the intimidation and financial and reputational harm along the way. They either want to break you enough to get you to shut up or ruin you sufficiently that shutting up isn't a choice.
I think she needed a bigger basket.
And they are all in his head.
Just to be clear, I am as pissed off as anyone about what has happened to our country and will use my power as a voting citizen to fight this when and where I can. But lashing out in this manner serves no one and drives division. Step back and take a breath, please.
And Wow! you are grumpy.
NO, but I'm throwing the semantics back in your face and congrats for knowing what year it is. Both the actual Nazis and our current occupying government are fascists, but these labels get bandied about because they elicit a visceral response. We all need to be more precise with our language.
You do realize thar the translation of the NAZI acronym from German is "National Socialist German Workers' Party", don't you?
