Republican lawmakers are starting to break ranks. Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mitch McConnell, and John Kennedy; all once obediently toeing the Trump line, are now speaking out against these tariffs.
Michael, considering that the market is up hugely this morning because there's supposedly a possibility of negotiating deals, I am absolutely convinced that this chaos is intentional. T and his rich friends undoubtedly bought low yesterday and are now reaping their profits. It must be nice to be able to rig everything to your benefit.
As for the military parade, how can people he calls suckers and losers participate in such an odious display of hypocrisy? I hope they scuttle it this time the way they did before. What an obscene display of ego as well as a flagrant middle finger to the people who've lost their jobs with the government.
Actually, Bloomberg Intelligence ran a story this morning about firms buying back stock because they're down. It's a free-for-all at the expense of the middle class. Once again, wealth "DOES NOT" trickle down. Reagan tried that, remember? At least he stood up to the Russians, communists, and fascists! I guess not :-(
All I can say is that at least Bloomberg is telling people what's going on (although it is obvious if you pay attention). I have no idea how to stop stock market manipulation under the current circumstances. You know, George, it's really surreal when you start being nostalgic for Reagan, but I too find myself feeling exactly the way you do about this. What a world.
Believe me, you are not alone. I'm sorry you're surrounded by MAGA--it must feel awful. But there are more of us than there are of them. I hope that helps a little.
Indeed, Trump doesn't care. Yet here in Miami, Florida, WPLG (no longer an ABC affiliate) interviewed folks around town, and still, people are buying into the cult. It's mass hypnosis of sorts, but off-camera, I hear folks whisper concerns because of other issues. Mainly, Improper deportations are on the rise, even for people with green cards. I guess it's a matter of "Kool-aid" or not!
Another one of your best!!! I say this with every post, I have listened to you for years and always believed every word. When he came out with that military parade yesterday on his bday for $90 million on top of everything else, as the DOW was plunging, Audi not unloading their cars from the container at our US port because they don't know what to do with the tariffs, I said this is it. The final blow. Rand Paul is not stupid. John Kennedy may sound like Gomer Pyle but he is a.Rhodes or Fullbright Scholar. Oxford. Ted Cruz as much as I despise him is Harvard. Even that Fossil Chuck Grassley is turning. No one gives a fuck about what that moron Tommy Tuberville or Markwayne Mullin or the MAGAS think. Fuck them.all! 🖕🖕 The revolution is happening and it will be televised. No one in this country rich or poor is immune to rthe ravings of this erratic lunatic. Let them take out Peter Navarro and Howard Lutnick and Scott Bessent while they are at it. Elon will OD himself from Ketamine 💉The WORLD is in turmoil from him. I don't care if it's peaceful or not. Let his Oath Keepers and Proud Boys if they have money left for ammunition take him out. He must be removed with JD Vance too. There are no other options anymore. I think of you always relating the story of MBS rounding up his family (100s) and putting them in a 5 star hotel and torturing them till they turned over.their billions. And if the SAUDIS lose billions too from their "investments" here? Fire up the chainsaw. Trump and Jared will wind up in a blender. And I am here for every minute of it.
So much of what you've spent years warning us about is coming true 😣

Thanks! Great to feel I’m not alone on this. I’m in a Ruby Red Cult Confederate State, and unable to stop the river of Kool-Aid.
