Trump had the best day ever on Tuesday. His numbers saved from fentanyl deaths jumps by 139 million in just one day! According to Bondi it took him 99 days to save 119 million but then on the hundreth day -- bamb 258 million. Just think of the morgue overload he avoided!

@hankgreen.bsky.social. So trump has made the United States into a bully nation, and certainly not the "bully good" one of old English, but the full blown sand lot creep we all knew in school. The ugly bastard type.

the truth of the matter is the old constitutional order is dead already. most people just don't know it yet and some will refuse to believe it up until someone marches them past the dead bodies and makes them reckon with the world we live in rather than the fantasies they choose to inhabit
Trump v. US is increasingly looking like a historically catastrophic Supreme Court ruling

Repeating, if we want to make progress on illegal drugs, deal with the American arms dealers peddling a half million illegal weapons a year in Mexico. If we can demand Mexico stop the flow of fentanyl, how about doing our part and take away the flow guns to the cartels.

One huge lesson from Trump #1 tarriffs -- once you loose an ag market you'll never get it back. In Nov. a IA Farm Bureau trade delegation went to Europe seeking a market ro replace China and failed. Now comes tariff's #2. Where do we go? Let's see maybe USAID, oh wait we shut that down too!

When Macron speaks of "security independence" he's saying good bye to U.S. prime defense contractors and thousands of high quality American jobs. But maybe N. Korea and Putin will buy with all that cash. Oh wait....

Instead of victimizing agriculture in fentanyl war, maybe we should halt completely the flow of high powered guns (90% US) used by the cartels to enforce their power. These guns are illegal in Mexico but we do little to halt the flow. Up to 1/2 million a year. They know but are afraid of the NRA!

Iowa members smile and cheer as he sacrifices farmers to ostensibly force the end of fentanyl trafficking. Maybe the place to have start is by going after the American arms industry that peddles hundreds of thousands of high powered weapons to the drug cartels each year.

Instead of a trade war because of fentanyl, how about a war on gun manufactures and dealers peddling hundreds of thousands of illegal guns into Mexico for the cartels?

Tomorrow the depression will begin in full. As with Smoot/Hawley, tarriffs will be followed by retaliatory tarriffs, followed by shortages and higher costs, recession, and depression.
