So an infamously bad businessman known for cheating suppliers and contractors, declaring bankruptcy, lying about his success, and being bailed out by shady and corrupt global players, is going ahead with the tariffs that every credible economic expert in the world agrees is a colossally bad idea.

It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

Its 5–4 decision will, in practice, free cities to dump substantially more sewage into rivers, lakes, oceans, and bays, degrading water quality standards around the country. The majority effectively greenlit the mass release of human waste into the nation’s water supply.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

All this "government is the enemy" and "we must cut government due to waste, fraud, and inefficiency" is a pants-on-fire lie. The people are being taken. Federal debit is largely due to tax cuts for the wealthy and foreign military activities (notably Afghanistan & Iraq).
