NYT Article on Trump's tariffs backfiring. Trump takes something that was working and screws it up royally.

Steep tariffs President Trump issued in August led to a significant contraction in imports and the trade deficit, newly released data shows.

Another pathological liar...
The search on Mar-a-Lago happened in August 2022. Jack Smith was appointed Special Counsel in November 2022.

Time, how does it work
Eric Trump: "Sure enough, we find out that Jack Smith is planting manilla folders on the office of my father ... "

Files can’t be blackmailed.
Files can’t be extorted.
Files can’t be pardoned.
Files can’t be bribed.

Nothing can substitute for the release of all of the Epstein files.

Bill Ackman freaking out about tariffs and saying "this isn't what we voted for" is as clear a crystallization of conservative self-delusion as you could ever ask for. Yes it is you idiot, you voted specifically for this! He talked about this NON STOP

Adam Schiff: “The American people wanted something done about crime, not to see Trump pardon the criminals who attacked the Capitol.”

Repost this if you agree January 6 traitors should serve their FULL prison terms.

“They had no choice.”
Trump said that rioters on January 6 had "no choice" but to assault police officers

If any Democrat in the country publicly justified the assault of a police officer it is all you would ever hear about for years

Three vindictive vengeance tour has begun.
Obviously people like Cheney, Kinzinger, Thompson, Schiff, and the witnesses committed no crimes and should be offered safe harbor by preemptive pardons that President Biden has full power to give and that they may accept without admitting they committed any offense when they in fact committed none.
Trump: “Cheney...Bennie Thompson, and everybody on that committee...should go to jail.”

Q: “So you think Liz Cheney should go to jail? Everyone on the committee, you think, should be in jail?”

Trump: “I think everybody...Anybody who voted in favor.”

FACT: The United States is the only developed country in the world without universal health coverage for all of its citizens - and that's absolutely shameful, especially for the most wealthy nation on the planet.

Markwayne Mullin on Hegseth’s drinking:

TAPPER: Drinking at 10 in the morning, that’s a drinking problem.

MULLIN: Yeah & there’s probably a lot of media that has a drinking problem too.

TAPPER: A drunk reporter who is drinking at 10 AM…is not in charge of the 3 million person defense department.💥

It is clear from his interview today that Trump is going to expect Bondi and Patel to investigate and prosecute his political opponents. Three questions:

How will the media cover?
What will pro-democracy leaders and orgs do?
Most important: Who will stand up and who will obey?

Remember, Tulsi Gabbard claimed Assad didn’t use chemical weapons, it was “the rebels.”

Her confirmation hearing will be brutal, if she even makes it to there

Perhaps, just perhaps, the real lesson you should be taking away from this is that Congress should investigate how a major information source has been taken over by the world's richest man to amplify specific narratives to influence our government, and not, 'OMG how did I get so many views?!'
