Free trade would be the most effective retaliation against Donald Trump's tariffs. Countries could stop respecting U.S. patent and copyright monopolies deanbaker22.substack.com/p/ignoring-p...

Hey DOGE, I've found some taxpayer-funded waste to eliminate:

Per @rachelbitecofer.bsky.social:

Have the DOGE boys gotten around to cancelling a) a single weapons contract or b) a single Elon Musk contract?

The tariffs are on. ... Now they're off! ... And on again. ... Wait, OFF! ... On. Off! .... And still off, tricked you!

Well said!

After Bezos’ new editorial policies the Washington Post should change its slogan to “Democracy dies in darkness, and we bring the darkness”

If I’m making a donation by credit card, the credit card company should donate the fee.

Trump and Musk, between them, have 18 children (that we know about) with 7 women. Family values, GOP-style.

LITERALLY EVERY FBI DIRECTOR HAS BEEN A REPUBLICAN. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

There is a simple solution to the CBS/Trump lawsuit. The Harris campaign should sue Fox and insist Fox release the unedited versions of all their many edited interviews with Trump.

And comes with a painful sting!

Brooke Harrington (sociologist) on the Daily Show describing the billionaires showing up for Trump’s inauguration; we now live in a ‘’broligarchy” (bro-ligarchy?)

So true.

Wisdom from his many years.

Since a trailer is a movie commercial, I really don’t think they should have advertisements before the trailer. That seems like piling on.

I heard that Elon Musk wants people to send their Social Security checks directly to him. He says it's far more efficient than making Congress vote to reduce benefits and then cut his taxes.

Congrats Trump voters. You elected a serial sexual predator who brags about grabbing women by the pussy & surrounds himself with rapists, sex traffickers & pedophiles, but at least you’re “protecting” your daughter from the nonexistent trans boy on her middle school basketball team.

Good one.

Manchin & Sinema voting against confirming the Democrat, Lauren McFerran, as chair of the National Labor Relations Board (leaving the spot open for Trump to fill) is just a final FU to the Democrats (and the working class) and just oh so on point for those two. They will not be missed…

The rules apply to everyone else, not his own family. 

The media has it all wrong about Trump’s "loyalist" picks for his administration. They're not loyalists — they're subservient hacks. There's a crucial difference. My latest for The Guardian.

UPDATE: The NYT has FINALLY mentioned that a Chinese national being prosecuted by the SEC for fraud, Justin Sun, has made a multi-million dollar payment to Donald Trump by purchasing tokens from a Trump-backed crypto company. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/05/u...

It is exhausting having to research and figure out everything from black plastics to best ventilation practices to COVID vaccine schedules, I know this is a wild idea but have we thought about creating publicly funded government bodies that could manage and regulate this stuff on our behalf

Trump’s appointing family now. What happened, did he run out of rapists?

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

It’s really annoying for ads to pop up while I am trying to read something on my phone that are big enough to cover up a portion of what I’m reading, but so small that when I try to hit the x to close them, about half the time I open the ad instead. How is this good for anybody??

Elon Musk has 12 kids and spent Thanksgiving with Donald Trump
