The options here are: 1) they’re so stupid that when setting 100s of exemptions last week they just forgot our 2nd & 3rd largest manufactured imports until Friday 2) they think you’re so stupid you won’t see this is still a giant unfair giveaway to parts of the electronics industry 3) both

Number one takeaway from the insane turnout at fight the oligarchy rallies, while chuck schumer cancels his little book tour and gretchen whitmer hides her face, is that there is zero constituency for bipartisanship

"oh no, this'll make the right wing mad!" Buddy they get into a frothing rage over like, cereal mascots and cartoon characters and the mere existence of gay people and what oil a French fry is cooked in and women knowing how to read, etc. They'll get mad anyway, no matter what. Tell em to fuck off

there’s a style of reporting that’s basically like “the left hasn’t been duped by the transparently bad faith framing of the right, but I, the reporter, very much have.”

It's wild that nearly all the interesting political media figures and commentators no one has heard of that are objectively worth profiling happen to be far right. That's the impression you get reading the Times, at least.

I find myself continually puzzled over the idea that these votes will get Democrats any credit in future elections - they're going to call you a socialist drug mule for Hamas, and your response is going to be "I voted for the more put-together fascists"

Amy Klobuchar demanding to speak at the massive Hands Off Rally in Saint Paul and then spending the next week confirming Trump appointees is amazing. Just tremendous contempt for her constituents.

This is a 12 alarm fire for the economy. If being friends with the president and giving him kickbacks makes you exempt from large import taxes Vs your competitors, it will stratify the whole economy and push corruption and loyalty and political controls deep into the private sector

Alright, I think people knew of the tariff pause and traded it beforehand. You can see before Trump posted "buy" on Truth Social, traders opened $QQQ $TQQQ and $SPY calls RIGHT BEFORE THE NEWS, someone opened $SPY 509 calls, expiring TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those calls are up 2100% in one hour.

there's no amount of lying from the press secretary that will get the media to stop covering them. the fact that no one knows what trump will do from day to day just makes parsing every fart and lie even more urgent and valuable, by their estimation.

one thing I think we shouldn't lose sight of: these people are stupid, their ideas are bad, they are always wrong about everything. there is no mea culpa big enough to erase the fact that they have a child's understanding of the world and their vision for the future is not worth taking seriously

Also china has the advantage of only fighting a trade war with the US, giving them ample trading partners to pivot to, while the US fights a trade war with every fucking country on the planet

a big factor in any CCP calculation right now is that the Chinese public is far more enthusiastic about fighting back in the trade war than the US public was about starting it.
