He continues to beat a drum that is making the absolute worst economic music I have ever heard in my entire life.

It's pretty funny that Trump has engineered a geo-political game of chicken between two societies - the US and China - where the winner will be the society most willing to withstand economic pain and inconveience in furtherance of some future national collective goal. Not really a US strong suit!

Trump's rally in Michigan is over. If you appreciate me watching it so you didn't have, please support what I do by signing up for my newsletter. I promise none of my contributors will ever appear on stage with Trump (looking at you CNN) and paid subscribers make my work possible.

Because it’s not like a 10% tariff means you’re gonna pay 10% more for something…….

Oh wait
Echoes of former Commerce Sec. Wilbur Ross’s famous line about tariffs: “Who’s gonna be very bothered?”

LUTNICK: “A 10% tariff is not going to change virtually any price.” 🤡

Today at the Supreme Court:

When Toi Cliatt heard people breaking into his home one morning his instinct was to reach for his gun.

Luckily he didn't.

It was the FBI.

And they were at the wrong house:

It’s Tuesday. There are 553 days until the midterm elections. Amazon vs. the a-hole, America has some regrets and the great Canadian FU.

100 days into this administration and working people are still getting left behind. Our costs are up, our services are gutted and our rights are under attack. We need a gov that works for us—not just the wealthy. Every American deserves a fair shot and a voice that counts, and I’m not backing down.

We put a really, really stupid and ignorant man in the White House. And so, so many people are going to be hurt because of it, and so, so many lives are going to be damaged because of it.

Such a shame.

the jobs of the future, where you will be a hereditary serf producing goods for your betters
Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."

It helps that Pierre is incredibly unlikable.

We still had lots of people vote for culture-war nonsense.

Canada has a long way to go.

I do disagree about one point, though...I sincerely doubt you'll have another free and fair election for quite some time.

I don't think you can vote this away.
