In response to Trump’s 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, Canada announced 25% retaliatory tariffs on American goods — beer, wine, bourbon, fruits, vegetables, clothes, perfume, household appliances, plastic, lumber, etc.

I bet Americans will soon learn a very painful lesson about how tariffs work, eh?

This is the oath he took while keeping his hand at his side where it was supposed to be on the Bible. I guess he didn't want a lightning bolt to ruin the event.

Odd that big British and French and Irish and Israeli news organizations have already posted stories on this, but not yet the @nytimes.com or @washingtonpost.com.

It pisses me the f*ck off that some of the same people who said Trump would destroy democracy sat in the rotunda smiling while he took the oath. What message does that send? I get norms and traditions, but this isn’t the time. Nothing about this is normal, and it shouldn’t be honored with tradition.

HEGSETH: I was falsely accused in October 2017. It was fully investigated. And I was completely cleared

HIRONO: I don't think 'completely cleared' is accurate

HIRONO: Would you carry out an order from President Trump to shoot protesters in the legs?

HEGSETH: *dodges question*

HIRONO: That sounds to me that you would comply with such an order. You still shoot protesters in the legs

HEGSETH: *silent*

It’s interesting that the corporate media didn’t call this a Biden assassination attempt.

It’s so clear where their bread is buttered.

So many of us didn't f*ck around and voted for Kamala Harris.

But now we have to find out.

It's not fair.

so is anybody even going to bother to go through the motions of calling for Trump to divest from his businesses this time around, or did we just give up on that one too?

It’s perfect that Trump won the popular vote by 1% since that’s the percentage of the population he actually wants to represent.

Americans didn’t want another old president so they elected a 78-year-old.

Americans wanted to end crime so they elected a criminal.
