Re Signalgate Part 2: When the President of the United States says he doesn't know what his VP, cabinet members, and advisors are doing; then you piss on those who discovered the breach? WTF? Mr. President, you're the captain of your ship, responsible for your crew.

Re Signalgate Part one: WTF? When Nixon was caught up in the Watergate scandal, after months of more cover-up and bipartisan Congressional hearings, he did what was best for the USA, and resigned. With da Orange Boy, Dr. Evil, and VP Vance, it's nothing? You are all accountable for your actions.

Part Sox da Orange Boy, Dr. Evil & unwarranted tariffs: America succeeds when our domestic production is equal in quality to the rest of the world. We do this NOT with wicked fackin' stupid tariffs.

Part cinq da Orange Boy, Dr. Evil, & unwarranted tariffs: Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto reportedly wrote in his diary after the attack on Pearl Harbor; "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve". Da Orange Boy & Dr. Evil are NOT sleeping giants.

Part quatre re da Orange Boy, Dr. Evil, & tariffs: Quote from an anonymous GM executive regarding the oil crisis of the '60s & '70s (Rolling Stone article, early '70s). "The oil embargo did for big cars what pantyhose did for finger fucking".

Part trois of Orange Boy & Dr. Evil Tariffs: alienating allies and pleasing enemies is fackin' wicked pissah stoopid! USA can compete by making quality products, not excessive tariffs. Look at how America mobilized against Japan/Germany/Italy in WW2, saving free Europe and free Asia.

Part deux of da Orange Boy tariffs: Tariffs don't work. I would think Trump & Dr. Evil had learned from their fackin' wicked stupid actions since taking office, but No! America now has cars that can compete with the rest of the world. Also, it's a different world now than the '60s & '70s.

Part 1: Da Orange Boy tariffs, did everybody forget the Arab Oil Embargo/OPEC in late '60s/'70s? Nixon raised tariffs on foreign cars, food & durable goods instead of offering short-term loans, grants, & incentives to domestic companies. Anyone remember the Pinto and Corvair ("Unsafe at Any Speed")?

Another thought re "Signalgate": Tulsi Gabbard & Pete Hegseth first denied the text chain took place, then stated no national security issues/plans discussed. Were you talking about someone's wedding plans? The mound visits in "Bull Durham" were more secure than you ultra-maroons & ignoramuses.

I don't care what Tulsi Gabbard says. When the American VP, prominent cabinet members, and White House advisors are on a text chain, it fucking A better be secure. Russia, China, and North Korea, etc., are laughing their asses off now. Again, Trump's staff are below ignoramuses & maroons. Yowzah!

Re AG Pam Bondi issuing a veiled threat to Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett over her calls to actively protest/boycott Teslas; Ma'am, civil disobedience is not a crime. Martin Luther King and untold numbers of true patriots have died for promoting civil disobedience as a means of non-violent protest.

My first 27 years (1952-1979) were spent in Vermont/upstate New York; my maternal grandfather was French-Canadian. Please accept my apologies to all Canadians for Donald Trump's statements and narcissistic behavior. The Orange Boy is NOT America. Bienvenue Canadians!

@owillis.bsky.social Oliver, good shot!

The world needs to know that Donald Trump and his administration are not America. Trump, Vance, et al, were upset that Zelenskyy didn't "respect" them. Well, Orange Boy, respect works both ways. You and your cronies were rude. In a democracy, dissent is necessary and encouraged.
