There is so much blood on the hands of this corrupt and desperate American president, his admin and all those who voted him into office. Also, those who stayed home and do not vote last November
The United States is bombing Venezuela while the people are asleep!
Venezuela produces less than 1% of the worldβs illegal drugs. But they do have the worldβs largest proven oil reserve.
Still think this is really about stopping the cartels?

The world's biggest aircraft carrier shouldn't be used to blow up small speedboats β or to attempt regime change in Venezuela.
The US Needs a Strategy in Venezuela, Not Airstrikes
With the deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford, the worldβs largest aircraft carrier, the US has amassed a fearsome array of assets off the shores of Venezuela: dozens of advanced fighter jets, thousands of troops, guided-missile destroyers, special operations forces, armed drones, gunships, possibly a nuclear submarine. More useful, however, would be a strategy.

What does the future hold for America? βTogether, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely β and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the partyβs next leadersβ
POLITICO: β.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and βthe watermelon peopleβ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Four things can happen when a tariff hits:
1) Foreign firms cut prices
2) Retail margins get squeezed
3) Retailers pass it on to you
4) Some imports just stop
Latest data: #1 didnβt happen, #2 a lot at first, #3 a bit so far, and #4 in spots.
Bottom line: Americans (#2, #3) are paying the tariffs.

Was listening to Ezra Kleinβs pod w/ Natasha Sarin, president & founder of the Budget Lab at Yale. The effective tariff rate rose from 2.5% to 18%. Durable goods price rose in the first 6mon of 2025 higher than any 6mon period since the 80s. Soβ¦ unemployment + inflation β¬οΈ, GDP growth β¬οΈ. Kinda bad π¬
"I'm curious, what are you more worried about? Would that be higher prices and inflation from the tariffs or the job market and it showing these signs of weakening?"
