Random guy making random observations. Or not. I like truth, and dislike liars and gaslighting. Independent, not a party member. Never, ever Trump. Pet pictures and videos rock.

Why would Walmart have to “eat” the tariffs? Didn’t he say the other countries pay the tariffs?

Art of the deal is raising the tariff to 145% then cutting it almost in half despite the fact that China has made no concessions and has completely ignored you. Xi just sits back at laughs at our orange clown.

Shooting films in foreign countries is a “national security threat”?!? He is certifiable. And astonishingly stupid.

What's it going to take for MAGA to figure this out?

So, if they really think liberal protesters are only out on the streets because they are being paid by George Soros, why aren’t there 50 times as many protesters out in support of Trump? I mean, Musk is 50 times richer than Soros. *Dem Protesters aren’t being paid. www.newsweek.com/massive-crow...

Share this if you want to see Hakeem Jeffries debate Mike Johnson to one-on-one debate on the House floor over the budget resolution.

He literally tweeted: This is a great time to BUY! Just hours ago. And then he paused tariffs. He’s literally committing crimes in front of the entire world. 😳

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

They underreacted because they still think he’s going to reverse them in a few days. Wait until they realize he isn’t.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

How much untold pain and disgrace could have been avoided had a handful of GOP Senators had the guts to convict after the second impeachment? They utterly failed the test of history.

Almost half of the country’s health insurance now rests in the hands of a man who once sold miracle pills — with zero proof they worked — on daytime TV.

These are the same people that were willing to let their grandparents die so they could eat at Arby's again without a mask

If only the Constitution granted the legislature power to regulate commerce with foreign nations

America just shot itself in the nuts to “own the libs”

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

Trump was never joking about a third term — he’s simply socializing the idea as the final step in taking total control over our government. Trump is implementing Project 2025 to become a dictator like Putin. It is time we all open our eyes to what is happening.

Who amongst us hasn’t gotten mad at our bosses sometimes

The greatest threat to Donald Trump’s authoritarian dream is not the courts — it is free and fair elections. While the courts can stand in the way of his twisted vision for America, they can never completely halt it. Trump knows this. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Over on Twitter…

He said he was going to make things cheaper and now he’s saying “I couldn’t care less if they raise prices.”

Here’s an unctuous toady who has zero scruples around caring about what could have happened to troops due to the morons running national security and confuses luck with what her actual job is, which is making sure people don’t have to rely on luck to stay alive www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/u...

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Pam Bondi 2025: Fox appearances - 5,000 New Epstein files released - 0 New Epstein prosecutions - 0 Fraud prosecutions from DOGE - 0

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

In a sane world, this would be the end of the Trump administration. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Remember: Every single lawmaker who is trying to cut Medicare or Medicaid is not trying to cut their own taxpayer-funded healthcare…

We were told not to share this publicly, but last year was record-breaking—America’s national parks saw over 331 million visits.

Is Bondi going to prosecute this guy federally as a domestic terrorist?

Now that Trump has proven to be a ruthless autocrat, too many have grown timid and silent. That is simply not who I am. It is not what I believe, and it is not what I will do. Instead, I will worry. I will hope. And I will fight. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-wo...

Imagine calling yourself the master race and have to resort to erasing the achievements of minorities to make yourself feel better.

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

"the plan to shrink IRS staff by up to 50% would — very conservatively — lead to a $400 billion increase in uncollected taxes over the next decade. It could easily mean more than $2 trillion in losses..." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Funny....All of a sudden, no one's performing arbitrary sex-change operations on unexpecting grade-schoolers anymore.
