Mike Lee wants to license Americans to become literal pirates to help Trump's Caribbean campaign
In ye olden days this would mean seizing a Spanish Galleon and selling the gold dubloons, but what do you do with a boat full of cocaine? Are privateers supposed to pull up and sell that in Miami

Almost no new jobs have been added since April and 710,000 more people are unemployed now compared to a year ago.
Meanwhile consumer prices are skyrocketing thanks to Trump's tariffs.
Does this sound like an "A+++++" economy to you?

By GOP logic, this makes Trump the most competent president they've ever had.

People love to shit on Dems but House Dems, in the face of an authoritarian executive branch and deferential House Speaker have in the first year: forced two discharge petitions (Epstein and ACA), and might win a government shutdown. Not bad for the minority!
