I like nerdy movie franchises, sports, and video games. The order will vary.
Considering we pay the tariffs, he is taxing Americans to get foreign countries to sell us a country that doesn’t want to belong to us.

Also he wants to use tariff money to fund his $500 billion military increase. Which he definitely wants to use to take over more countries.
Trump: "Starting Feb 1, all above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, & Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff. On June 1, it will be increased to 25%. It will be due until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland."

If this were true, I must have missed the TV police drama that had the detective coming back to the precinct saying “Suspect was dead when we arrived, they were in a car and didnt do what we wanted.”
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons: "Anytime someone uses a 4,000 vehicle to assault or impede or even to escape a law enforcement custody, that's a deadly force situation. That is a domestic terrorist incident."

Are you prepared for the US to be an empire? Are you ok with that?

Everyone needs to think about what if within 12 months the USA takes over Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba and Greenland. Cause that seems to be the direction we are going.

The hypocrisy for attacking Venezuela and capturing Maduro is insane

-We kill fisherman for drug trafficking but use the entire military to make arrests

-Trump cites Maduro’s “illegal” election when he has Trump 2028 hats for sale

-Can you charge someone for illegal weapons in another country?

My Stranger things finale thought regarding song choice:

Using Heroes at the end. We had heard a cover twice before. When Will was dead (but he wasn’t) and when Hopper was dead (but he wasn’t)

Which makes me think El isn’t dead.

This is an equivalent message to “Merry Christmas ya filthy animals.”

Also please note all tariffs are paid by American companies.

I keep thinking of all the food contracts that were canceled because US AID wasnt MAGA.

What are the odds this comes out of the tariff money?
That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.
Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION.

Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.

Shame.

Hegseth: The military is for killing people and breaking things. No more rules of engagement.

Trump: I’ll be sending the military into U.S. cities.
Hegseth: "A few months ago I was at the White House when President Trump announced his liberation day for America's trade policy. It was a landmark day. Well, today is another liberation day. The liberation of America's warriors ... you kill people and break things for a living."

Babies are famously liquid intolerant.

Also it’s 24 vaccines over 2 years, done in like 6 sessions for a bunch of diseases we don’t really worry about anymore.
Trump: "It's too much liquid. Too many different things are going into that baby at too big a number. The size of this thing when you look at it. It's like 80 different vaccines and beyond vaccines."

Trump is consolidating power in the house with redistricting.

He already consolidated power in the Supreme Court.

He is consolidating power of facts by his moves with suing media outlets and his anti DEI laws.

All while making billions as president.

Together they point to a giant problem.

Reminder that Russia still occupies 20% of Ukraine, about the size of Maine/Vermont/New Hampshire.

I had a college professor who got a negative eval saying “too enthusiastic.” She was an african-american advertising professor.

Weds: Trumps WFLI crypto bank goes public as a stablecoin.

Friday: Trump signs into law a bill that benefits stablecoins.

This…..this has to be illegal right? Insider trading? Emolument clause?

Canceling a number 1 show when the show wants to continue doesn’t happen.

Doing it after Paramount makes a $16 million “donation” to the Trump library? Well now it feels like part of the donation, right?

If the Trump admin influenced this cancelation in any way, that’s censorship.
July 18, 2025 at 11:46 AM
I just realized the Trump Library is going to be at Mara-Lago, isn’t it?

Kristi Noem: "Remember what our streets were like under the last administration. How dangerous it was. President Trump and these ICE officers are going after murders and rapists."

Folds: If we’ve been told our whole lives that we can’t spend money on the arts because they’re not important—then why was taking over the Kennedy Center and the arts the first thing they did?

It is extremely important. It’s the bedrock of self-expression.

Here is the difference for me with Iran. Obama did alot of bombing/drone strikes. They were either in countries we were already involved in (iraq afganistan), in countries where we targeted the same terrorist groups, or in support of UN/Nato resolutions. 1/

On election day someone in line was telling people there is no way Harris’s $25,000 for new home buyers would work and is a stupid policy.

Instead we elected someone who has started a conflict we have been avoiding my whole life.

Keep ‘em in suspense. Great for tv. Terrible for a president.

Reframe the sentiment as “you only need two video games” and see how quickly the white American male gets involved in politics.
The talking point that little girls have to settle for fewer dolls to soften the collapse of the consumer economy is genius. Women be shopping, and this whole thing smacks of gender.

This is gaslighting at its finest. “Not having everything you want is better”

There are benefits to being simple and unwanting, but it shouldnt be because we straight cant afford stuff.
Bessent says that little girls who are sad about having fewer dolls should just have it explained to them that they will have a better life for it

Trump’s Easter message. Maybe a little longer than normal.
