As an economist, I can safely say that the proper scientific term to describe the economic ideas in this column is "a pile of horseshit from people who live in a delusional alternate reality" The fact idiots like Peter Navarro are governing the United States is an indictment of its political system

Next run of consumer confidence numbers are going to kick off one hell of a storm

The most insulting thing to me personally is being ruled by a combination of mercantilists and Austrian economists. They Frankenstein’ed together the worst parts of like 1920s economic ideologies.

Where are the Democrats but also Where are the churches Where are the celebrities Where are the NGOs Where are the Universities Where are professional groups like AMA Where are the athletes Where are the unions What people/groups do and don’t do for next month determines our collective future

What Ilan Wurman and Randy Barnett are doing isn’t best understood as legal scholarship. It’s more like wartime public relations, or like SEO. It’s creating bullshit that will give dishonest judges a pretext to pretend that there is a serious constitutional dispute. They’re fascism’s fixers.

Time for Royal Farms to see if Kyle Hamilton really likes chicken.

Someone on the left needs to start offering a plan and some hope. Otherwise some left wing demagogue is going to start selling false hope, and people will buy it.

Trade wars have consequences. And the dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed

the message from dems tonight is clear: you’re on your own.

Does not feel great when the guy who is running circles around you thinks the army went and turned a big water knob at the top of California to make it rain again like in a Richard Scarry book

I don't know about the hate, but the other two parts are correct. Many Democrats who stayed home earned Trump.

I physically can’t do 3 years and 51 weeks of this.

Lotta “fighting the last war” going around these days.

It was just pointed out to me that a recent update to the Bluesky client now allows you to block bots, trolls and chuds directly from their obnoxious comments via the right click menu, so I checked and sure enough, there it is (highlighted in the picture). Truly this is an age of wonders.

You think groceries were inflated last 4 years? strap the fuck in.

Wicked but everyone is played by minions. You’re welcome

Anyone know what starter pack I’m on? Is there a way to tell?

sorry but article ii section 3 does not say that the president can force congress to adjourn *when it does not want to* and spreading that message is doing trump’s work for him

Since I won't go back to the bad place, I ask for/appreciate any and all promotion of this account. I kinda sorta definitely rely on clicks for income right now, and my follower count here is dramatically different. Basically, any help is appreciated.

Musk is the new Ailes. X is Fox on crack.

I think it's time to watch some Star Trek.

Funny how chevron getting punted cuts a little different
