Donald Trump is a deranged lunatic who wouldn’t be allowed to manage a Wendy’s. But I guess we all have to pretend like this is normal and not 25th amendment behavior. People who treat this as acceptable are the insane ones.

IHO of Joe Biden. History says Don't hope on this side of the grave... But then, once in a lifetime The longed-for tidal wave Of justice can rise up, And hope and history rhyme. -- Seamus Heaney, The Cure of Troy

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

Of all the MAGAs melting down over the pope, my fave is Charlie Kirk. Bro: The universal Catholic Church invented globalism. And Mary and Joseph fled to Egypt as undocumented refugees. Wtf do you think the Church's views on "borders" are? www.thebulwark.com/p/seven-thin...

I don’t know, man, maybe it’s all the amplifying of Nazis on you platform, the stiff-arm salutes, the joking about Nazis, the cozying up to Germany’s far-right, your family’s history of supporting apartheid, the support for eugenics, the Nazi font hats, and, you know, the whole movement you’re in.

Do you realize how much air comes into the United States for free? That’s a tariff. From now on, only homegrown air. If it’s good enough for an American to breathe out, it’s good enough for an American to breathe in.

This gets papered over as old man yelling at clouds but this is impeachable by itself. Greenland is our ally which has allowed a continual U.S. military presence since WWII, including a vital part of our missile defense and space surveillance. Threatening them is unacceptable.

They keep willfully misunderstanding the issue to confuse good people. Trans people don’t think this series will be loaded with JKR’s bigotry. We KNOW the money from this series will be funneled by JKR directly into attacking the trans community in the media and courts.

Can't think of anything that plays better than hiding from your constituents unless it's having them physically thrown from your presence like a peasant class you can't stand the smell of.

Sometimes people show you how you want to go out one day, when you didn't even know you had a preference. This is it. Riding a verbal missile into your corporate owners' office with both middle fingers up firing shots from them like a cowboy riding into town in Gunsmoke.

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

A New Mexico judge and his wife have also been arrested, for allegedly hiding a TdA gang member in their home. Given recent history, it’s probably best to take the “hiding” and “gang member” allegations with a fistful of salt. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Pangolins have two claims to fame: first, that they are the world’s only scaly mammal, and second, they are one of the most trafficked animals globally. Beyond that, most people know little about them. But the new Netflix documentary “Pangolin: Kulu’s Journey,” hopes to change that. cnn.it/3EDMK1l

This is, weirdly, the most purely fascist shit anyone in the administration has said so far - Your health is an asset of the fatherland - Illness is a failure or a moral failing - You have a duty to maintain your health - Healthcare is not a right, it's a finite resource - Die for the fatherland

At this point, the way market investors keep reacting to Trump's senile freestyling about tariffs as if it reveals some reliable path back to normal times is more alarming than Trump's own instability

Do traders have Stockholm Syndrome? Rally today appears based on WSJ report that we might have "only" 50-65% tariff on Chinese goods. That's still a huge effing tariff - roughly triple the average effective tariff rate on China last year. US companies still don't have margins to absorb this

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.
