The Toronto Star schools American print media on how the fuck it's done. 🇨🇦

Shop at #Costco! “To those fighting the fight, this Monday we begin the #Walmart blackout… And this is not about hate, this is about strategy, it's about our power. Because if we don't start fighting the fight now, there won't be much left to fight for." www.newsweek.com/nationwide-w...

Stock market in complete limbo, retirement savings disappearing, farmers facing devastating uncertainty… and he went golfing. If he ran a company the way he ran the country this weekend, he’d be fired.

The White House put out a statement saying that Donald Trump would veto the Senate bill by Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell and Republican Senator Chuck Grassley to claw back the power to impose tariffs from the president and bring it back to Congress. Donald wants to be a dictator.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says regular folks won't mind if one of their Social Security check doesn't show up. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says Americans ready to retire don't care about "day-to-day" market fluctuations. These people are robber barons with no empathy for normal people.

I’m old enough to remember when I took out a full-page ad in the New York Times last fall to publish a letter signed by 225 mental-health professionals saying that Trump’s severe personality disorders made him destructive and dangerous.

The MSNBC anchor explained how Navarro quoted an economics expert named Ron Vara in his books to justify his pro-tariffs stance, only for it be revealed that Ron Vara doesn't actually exist.

This headline from the Toronto Sun belongs in the Louvre

Trump does care about the pain, chaos, and turmoil he’s causing—in the following sense: He loves it. It makes him feel powerful.

So. Much. Winning. 😎✨

I will pay any tariff for a framed copy of this

"falling out of bed" "Weinberg, chief US economist at High Frequency Economics, sees the economy falling out of bed in the second quarter, which has just started, and now predicts the economy will contract at a negative 4.5% rate in the second quarter." www.marketwatch.com/story/econom...

You're stock market wealth is not being destroyed. It's being transferred. Prices fall as people sell. Where is it going? To the people who are causing the chaos. Who sold first, then made bets it would go lower.

This is batshit

“This is not what we voted for.” Yes, yes, it is. You just didn’t think it could destroy you, too.

This is now the worst three-day performance for the S&P 500 since October 1987.

#AmericaAlone 💔

Gotta love the signs for Hands Off day 💙

I'll say it again: There is NO emergency for tariffs to be imposed.

Canada is not just Minnesota’s neighbor, it’s our number one trading partner. I led a bipartisan Senate resolution to stop these reckless tariffs that are harming our families, farmers, and businesses. www.startribune.com/klobuchar-he...

We are witnessing the moral moment: Americans: #HandsOff Canadians: #ElbowsUp Standing up for democracy, intellectual freedom, integrity of law, research, science, health care, education, the arts, social security, media. And on guard for Canadian sovereignty. 🇨🇦 Hope on both sides of the border

Good trouble

Peter Navarro contradicts himself in consecutive sentences: "Tariffs are tariffs. And they do raise revenues. I see them as a tax cut."

A little shocking how little a story "PRESIDENT PURPOSELY CRASHES ECONOMY AND BRAGS ABOUT IT" is in America today.

This walking dead zombie was elected to lead our nation’s healthcare. He’s a vaccine denier who lied and said he wouldn’t allow his personal beliefs interfere with our vaccine programs.

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

Peter Navarro, the genius behind the tariff fiasco lied about a so called expert who said tariffs would be good for the economy.

Ah yes, the Book of Morons - perfect for Sunday morning.

No comment needed…..

Peter Navarro on CNBC calls tariffs "a beautiful situation" next to a stock ticker showing the Dow implied open down 900 points

The worst catastrophes of history are caused by men who are malevolent, ignorant, and have exceptional wills.

Everybody stop panicking and put your faith in the insane 80 year old criminal and the team of simpering sycophants he's surrounded himself with

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

THIS IS WHAT A TRADE WAR LOOKS LIKE -

He's to dumb to have done this alone. Those GOP leaders across the nation and at every level of government helped him. They're underestimating the power of the people, by trying to steamroll us into submission. That shit will not work.

The Constitution gives CONGRESS power over tariffs. Congress gave that power away to the president over the years. The Republican-majority Congress could STOP Trump's tariffs. Right now. BUT THEY ARE CHOOSING NOT TO.
