Wow. Just wow. How Trump set the tariff rates. This is blithering, staggering, mind-boggling, jaw-cracking, gums-bleeding stupidity.

On a purely personal note, I’m glad to have started my new car lease *before* Trump’s tariff idiocy took effect.

Good Christ, if *Ron DeSantis* thinks you’re a shitty human being…
“'Just the way he conducts himself is somebody — he repels people,' DeSantis said.
'He’s repelled people in the legislature.... and now he's going to be in Congress'...”
Quite the endorsement!

this guy’s distinguishing quality is his boundless contempt for anyone who voices the slightest disagreement with him. you can see in his voice and mannerisms that he thinks he’s better than everyone around him. (which to my mind is just compensation for his palpable self-loathing)
Seniors came to JD Vance's event to demand the Trump Administration stop cutting Social Security.
JD's response:

Think about how ludicrously dishonest the Republicans are - apparently immigration is out of control and there are too many immigrants but suddenly we can handle an influx of 10 MILLION foreigners, as long as they’re rich.
The "genius" has figured out how to save us. He's going to sell "gold cards" for 5 million dollars each. Isn't that "special".

@cnn.com That you continue to pay Scott Jennings a salary is grotesque.

After spending yesterday visiting Dachau and saying he was "really moved" by his time there, today JD Vance went to Munich to say that German political parties need to break the firewall against the far-right, Holocaust-minimizing AfD and start working with it: www.zeit.de/politik/ausl...
