For those listening to this rant, those numbers are not tariffs. The European Union, e.g., has weighted average tariff rates of ~ 3% and arguably lower on US goods. So they are clearly including VATs and who knows what else? This false reciprocity is nonsense. For more:

Madeleine Albright stated on Amanpour in 2014 that the we didn’t win the Cold War, they lost the Cold War. The Soviet Union disintegrated from inside. This sent chills down my spine thinking about the state of US affairs today. Nobody will help us recreate something we destroy ourselves.

Many in national security, myself included, who’ve worked w/ Kash Patel have seen his dishonesty & the threat he poses. Fear keeps many silent—but silence is not support. That this must be said about his nomination for FBI Director speaks volumes. My latest:

SCHIFF: I want you to look at Capitol police and tell them you're proud that you raised money off people that assaulted their colleagues

PATEL: That's an abject lie. I've never accepted violence against law enforcement.

SCHIFF: You didn't accept it, you glorified it!

Epic event promotion. Kinda like when my Husband was pitched Hulu/Disney, but I lost C- Span. Lots of hype, no pay off.

The new ability to connect was so inspiring at one time. I ended up being a voyeur, I blocked nearly everyone who reached out. I deleted posts almost immediately after composing. As this site grows it will be difficult to keep negative voices from dominating the space. For now, I am thankful 😌

The last few elections have me twisted, I’m excited by a boxing match. Haven’t paid attention to Tyson since we used to pool funds for a Pay-Per-View event just to have the main card over faster than my then 19 year old boyfriend.
