By the Numbers: Interest payments comprise 13% of the budget and are 3.1% of GDP. The orange Felon's plan is to increase debt by $5.5T so he can give tax breaks to the billionaires that fund him personally. How does this square with their goal of reining in wasteful interest costs? IT DOESN'T!

By The Numbers: The orange Felon has amassed a legal war chest of $940M in pro bono services from the country's top legal firms.

I guess I must be a "WW2 enjoyer," or as I like to refer to it: a willingness to learn from other peoples' mistakes!

The Noise: IRS's budget is way too bigly! The Reality: Though prosecuted by the DOJ, there is no doubt that this case started at the IRS inquiry level. You get to pay more taxes when people cheat. AND EVEN MORE WHEN CHEATERS AREN'T CAUGHT!

The Talking Point: The House Budget Resolution/One Pager/page 4: Reversing Biden's Spending Spree. The Reality: Instead, we get the orange Felon's spending spree - or why they need a $5 TRILLION debt limit increase? These are not fiscal conservatives - they're radical spendthrifts!

The Orange Felon: How do you get to be President when you're that stupid? Every Sane Person on Earth: We've wondered about that for years! Literally, years!!

The Issue: “Gang Members” sentenced to foreign gulag w/out due process. The Wish: Just like some judges have sentenced slumlords to live in their own dilapidated buildings; I hope for a day when the orange Felon suffers the same fate, in the same prison. (But, please, no pictures of him shirtless!)

The Hope: U.S. District Court Judge Paula Xinis ruled that the government must return Garcia by April 7 at 11:59 pm-NBC News The Concern: That this man, and all others wrongly accused WITHOUT due process will continue to languish in prison, on the orders of an orange Felon who belongs behind bars.

The Stupidity: The orange felon says a team of real smart people used a math formula to calculate the proper tariff rate for each country The Reality: This formula says “we buy more from you than you buy from us, so: TARIFF”. In only a decade we’ll have the infrastructure to buy American. $$$$

The Noise: Senate votes 51-48, saying there is no “emergency” with Canada that warrants tariffs. The Signal: This is largely symbolic and meaningless, and will get no support in the House. But 4 GOPs found just barely enough backbone to vote w Dems.

The Noise: It’s “Liberation Day!” The Signal: You’re now free to pay more for groceries, cars, energy, and everything else. And the orange felon’s billionaire buddies couldn’t care less.

The Noise: Sen Cory Booker is about to set a record for a senate speech - so what’s it going to accomplish? The Signal: The ultimate answer may be: little of substance. But many of us are glad to see SOMETHING being done. We all need to DO SOMETHING!!

The Noise: Pictures like this help keep “illegals” from coming to the US. The Signal: They also keep TOURISTS from coming to the US. If the orange Felon is worried about trade imbalances he’d want their 💲💲. But he’s an unserious idiot working against our best interests.

My guess: Because she’s smarter than him, and he knows he’s in over his head.

The Noise: Back in Jan, right wing nuts Moms for America told us why Felon34’s picks were a dream team. momsforamerica.us/blog/preside... The Signal: In reality, they are more like this Dream Team. (Apologies to the cast, I don’t believe any of the actors shown here are actually this stupid.)

The Noise: This Signal-gate story thing is no big deal; everything worked out fine. The Signal: The big picture is about “sources and methods.” Even though no harm came to US military this time, Signal-gate reveals sloppy OpSec, and those who don’t take it seriously. VALUABLE INFO TO OUR ENEMIES.
