Hey Don, you just took a wrecking ball to your own country, put tens of thousands of Americans out of work, fired critical experts in all fields, & now you’ve crushed the stock market & sent the world economy into turmoil with indiscriminate tariffs. What are you gonna do now? “I’m going golfing!

Trump's talking to Vietnam about their tariffs at the same time he's seeking approval for a fucking real estate development in Vietnam. He's decimating your 401k, threating every American's budget, to get real estate deals.

To ‘fleece’ someone means to take something, usually money, from that person in a dishonest way. The noun ‘fleece’ refers to the wool that covers a sheep. When you are fleeced, you are stripped of something much in the way that fleece is shorn from a sheep.

These aren't tariffs. They are a horse's head in the bed of (almost) every world government and business leader.

In my recent interview with literacy expert Kate Crist, she said "Librarians are the superheroes of literacy." I worry that these cuts means funding is going to disappear for library literacy programs. It seems like an especially good time to volunteer at a library if you've ever been so inclined.

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.
