i want to know what every single reporter i used to work with in dc has to think about this

“… China does not pay the 145% tariff. United States importers pay the tariffs; either U.S. companies suffer losses from tariffs or pass it on to consumers…“

“… the Greenback suffered its greatest one-day drop in three years yesterday…”

“… when disruption comes from the US, that really shakes things up…”

“… China does not pay the 104% tariff. United States importers pay the tariffs; either U.S. companies suffer losses from tariffs or pass it on to consumers. American consumers! Remember: American consumers constitute more than 2/3 of the United States gross domestic product, the ‘economy’…”

“… how long until we see cargo ships turning around in the Pacific?…”

“… from CNBC Joe, a MAGAster if there ever was one: ‘ China is not paying it, we are paying’…”

“… The Japanese government long bond has reached his highest yield since 2004…“

“… China did not PANIC… they vowed to fight to the end …”

“… economic Armageddon is what the tariffs are bringing us…“

“… Hang Seng single worst-day decline in 28 years…“

“… as Nero played golf …”

“… uh, HELLO CEOs and Republican Senators … time to do something (actually, past time!), the orange one lives in a world where he’s a golf champion… and that’s it. Oh, and he plays a POTUS on television…“

“Can somebody please tell the orange one: American importers, American companies, and American consumers pay the tariffs, not the foreigners…“

“… defeated, dragged ‘… like a dog…’”

“… your first and last tool…” “. the orange one is a tool…” “…the trade deal will cripple the administration, perhaps derailing the tax cut…”

“… global economic turmoil + global military alliance turmoil… + national recession/depression talk = orange chaos…”

“… and the day America started a trade war that upended the world economy… and for how long… nobody really knows…“ “… the damage, oh the damage …”

“… simply whining, orange whining… “

“… president-ING by surprise …” no way, no way to run a country

“… PLAY BALL …”

“… only the best people…” and “… be best…”

…the motto of the United States used to be: we’re good people we do good things and we help others so that we may all live freely and in peace; and now the US motto seems to be we’re bigger and stronger and richer than any of you so you gotta do whatever the orange one says…

…what the orange one always wanted to be: the biggest strongest richest bully in the world…

… I love the uneducated… the orange one, Campaign 2016…

… the orange suffer from TIDS… Trump is deranged syndrome… (HT: KO)

…so I guess orange ISN’T the new black…

Chief Justice John Roberts and Senator Mitch McConnell: “… too little, too late… “ unless …

RE the CR: Republicans keep claiming a “mandate from the voters.“ So: Let the Republicans do what they’re going to do, the consequences will be bad but they would be bad anyway. Democrats then show the 37% of eligible-voters who didn’t vote in 2024 that Republicans don’t know how to govern…

Birthright citizenship: … born here: you’re an American! That’s part of what makes American great: if you can get born here, you’re an American! America: the frontier, the land of the free… doesn’t matter how you got here: matters that you were born here! WELCOME my Fellow American!!

HT: colbertlateshow.bsky.social … orange is the new Greenland …

… orange AND delusional …

looking rather orange today

#theorangeone sits in the Oval Office behind the Resolute Desk gratifying himself playing to the cameras… the red light… conning the orange thinking he knows what he’s talking about — A CON now about as old as he is…

Looks like our cosplaying Homeland Security secretary finally got her wish: an ACTRESS appearing in TV commercials drooling over her Cult Leader #theorangeone

Hey, #theorangeone: the way you “get” Greenland is to strengthen our relationship with our ally Denmark!
