Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me.
There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine.
The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning:
"As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

It’s worth stating this simply: For literally anyone in the US Govt from 1945 to 2025, Signalgate would require an instant resignation—and a criminal investigation. It would be a matter of personal *honor* to resign. The fact Mike Waltz & Pete Hegseth are choosing to fight it out is a terrible omen.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

"It’s the principle that Democrats are wholly unwilling to fight on the same playing field as Republicans. It’s that we seem forever doomed to be the party that allows the parliamentarian to shut down our entire agenda, while the Republicans won’t even let the US Constitution shut down theirs."

I don’t have to agree with the Gaza protestors to defend their right to protest.
And I don’t have to want Venezuelan gang members to be here on our soil, to defend their right to due process.
Either we are a nation of laws or we are not.
And if we are not, then all is lost.

From the end of this morning’s WP article on Trump’s economic plans everybody’s mad about.
1) Nobody — not even powerful rich CEOs — contradict Trump to his face because they’re afraid of being yelled at.
2) Their strategy is hoping they can survive this until he leaves.
