Talk about not understanding the reality on the ground.

I was saying the same to my fb friends... They'll mirror his "grab em by the pussy" comments, saying "when you're rich, you can do anything..."

Roberts’s very particular vision of himself as a wise steward of the republic, juxtaposed with his actual record, is going to be a running gag for decades.

This is spot on. Just look at the Democrats who are raging. They are making real waves in social media. That is resonating with voters that don't respond to traditional polls.

A lot of Democrats are going to get primaried, and I think they have no idea. I will gladly vote for any Democrat promising to prosecute all those who are blatantly violating the law.

Trump's gonna take a victory lap, just wait. He always spins disaster into a "win" and his fans eat it up despite all evidence to the contrary.

Why is this shocking in any way? This happens with tons of jets.

Of course the buyer will be MAGA friendly. If not, Trump will just let the (Supreme Court supported) TikTok ban go into effect.

I've been saying all along that the Dems got played on the TT ban all along jlbc of this exact scenario.

I'm questioning his decision-making logic at this point...

I literally have no idea what is going on here...

The more relevant points are:

1) Tariffs are cannibalistic. If they succeed, they fail bc we no longer import.

2) Tariffs are misplaced. In theory we want to onshore high tech manufacturing, but Trump has exempted high tech gadgets from the tariffs.

Hard to argue we were victims of lopsided tariffs when we charged an above median tariff on a trade weighted basis among our largest partners. Far from being a victim, we were active participants.
