www.nytimes.com/interactive/... Bravo Harvard!

I just can’t take health advice from a former heroine addict, currently addicted to chewable nicotine, who has no scientific training & a fondness for wacky conspiracy theories…

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/o... Trump’s incompetence will bring America to its knees…

www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04... Classic Trump. He’s been screaming about tariffs as a grand solution for 40 years. Like healthcare, when he has the power to use them widely it becomes clear he has no strategy or tactics & crashes the Global Economy like a dotard.

Musk is right about Ron Vara, his policies are as dump as. Box of rocks & will push the global economy into a recession FOR NO GAIN!

Maybe Witcoff is in Russia to pickup his phone…

It looks like he’ll get his 10th market crashing record today….

Does Trump even comprehend that China holds 20% of US Treasuries? He’s crashing our markets, endangering our credit rating, creating enormous inflation, destroying consumer confidence, & stalling the economy. He’s a horror show that will ruin us all!

Pro tip: When Trump makes a comment about a world leader saying “Sir, oh Sir, please Sir” he is in full BS bluster mode.

Is it time for the 25th Amendment vote yet? $10T in wealth GONE! Trump piling on $5T of debt to give Elon another tax cut?!?

RFK Jr’s failure to vigorously urge parents to vaccinate their children to save them from the measles will cost lives. He continues to push fake “cures”—raising the likelihood of a measles epidemic.

Lutnick is a blithering idiot—“just trust the fat old man’s gut”—Lutnick chuckles like the pain he & Trump are inflicting on US consumers means nothing. Of course as a $1B he feels no pain….

Navarro apparently cites an expert in his books he just made up….He’s a fraud. Legitimate economists think Trump’s Tariff War & Navarro are an economic catastrophe!

And then there was yesterday’s 2,200 pt drop—a cherry 🍒 on top of Trump’s financial disaster…

If you are sincerely looking for waste, fraud, & abuse, the LAST thing you do is fire the IGs—the cops on the beat. Trump/DOGE fired them 1st!

Scott Jennings said the NSA staff’s loyalty to Trump is most important—not their actual expertise! Think about the implications of THAT!

Is it time for anyone with Trump logo merch hurt by his policies to shred or 🔥 those items, & for those who’ve patronized his properties say “never again”?

It’s time for Chuck Schumer to retire. His pedantic version of leadership is utterly ineffective. He’s whiny & repetitive when speaking to press & still doesn’t know how to pronounce Dana Bash’s after all these years!

www.threads.net/@uncommongra... The terrible truth about Trump’s Tariff War.

If Trump threatens U.Penn again re federal funding, they should raise the possibility of releasing his college transcript….

In the spirit of “buy American”, I call for a boycott of all Trump products produced overseas….

Trump has no “tariff strategy”. He’s risking our GDP on his ‘throw spaghetti at the wall approach’. Any $ raised will be used on subsidies for businesses his tariffs damage—like the soy farmers he put out of business last time….No deficit reduction or debt paid! Just taxpayers crushed.

Another weekend another $4M spent for Trump to cheat at golf at MAL. He plays we pay…

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/29/u... Firing Hegseth & Waltz immediately is the least he should do.

Hegseth’s younger brother is serving in a key role inside the Pentagon www.defensenews.com/pentagon/202... Is this a joke?!? Both Hegseth’s need to be fired immediately. Every day in every way Pete Hegseth demonstrates his egregious judgement.

Profound & true!

Hegseth taking his 3rd wife to Pentagon meetings, getting a new anti-Islam tattoo, crying that revealing detail of the Yemen attack & plans for more bombing with a reporter in the mix is fine because he did not share an entire “War Plan”?!? Is that the full list of f_ck-ups for this week?

The series The Residence is great fun. Fingers crossed that they find another crime to solve for a Season 2!

So Hegseth defines his planned meeting to share plans for a war with China with Musk as “War Plans”, but a disclosure on Signal for an immediate attack on Yemen is a shrug because it’s not a full scale war? Party Pete💩on the Atlantic, but he skips over he & Waltz’s inclusion of a reporter on Signal!
