Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

It is impossible to capture how catastrophic Trump’s recent moves and statements are for US defense contractors—this will have a huge trickle-down industrial effect given supply chains and subcontractors.

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

I don't think there's precedent for this level of open corruption at the federal level, certainly not in the last 100+ years.

I knew this would happen, but it's still surreal to hear another nation's leader talk to us in a televised address the way US presidents have historically spoken to the citizens of countries led by dictators and despots.

Notice that Trump didn’t get offended because Zelensky disrespected the U.S. (he didn’t), but because Zelensky disrespected RUSSIA.

Oh for fucks sale, the purpose of DOGE isn’t to find fraud. It’s to set up a digital commissar’s office in every federal agency that will rat on employees that don’t tow TRUMP’s every whim. THE FRAUD LIE IS WHAT GOT THEM IN THE DOOR.

Why would a little boy say, “Shut the fuck up” if he wanted someone to be quiet? Was there someone in his life who maybe repeatedly said that to him? Also, where would he get the idea that Trump isn’t the President? Did someone also say that repeatedly to him?
