like always, the lackeys fell in line quickly

as far as trump is concerned none of these "bad events" involve him personally

the crack trump team really worked overtime finding all the countries and places where they wanted to apply the tariffs

as the GOP will continue to profess: "Nothing to see here"

just checking: is the war over? inflation whipped? prices down? economy flourishing?

A puzzle for everyone:

succinct

the false "binary choice" that Schumer hid behind and fckd the House Dems in the process The Strategic Poverty of Shutdown or Surrender open.substack.com/pub/mikebroc...

meanwhile, Schumer hears the noise but continues to not listen he engineered this whole submission from its beginning...he will not get down in the trenches when the fight comes...hell, he doesn't even muster up any firepower

when making mere 'statements of concern' as a leader, instead of making a battle plan and initiating it and leading the troops into battle, it is no surprise that giving in at the last minute was baked into the pie the whole time

it took Chuck one public statement vowing to fight and the next day was double-speaking about why 'NO' had to be a 'YES': we have somehow been saved from 'worse' well, temporarily...if that our 'generals' surrendered before the battle, left the field, and left the troops to flounder on their own

has Schumer ever won the GOP award for Senator of the Month?

note to Chuck: in case you haven't noticed, it's already "worse" the Democratic leadership has failed to address this CR and its threats in any depth publicly, leaving all the real messaging to individual Congress members until...the last minute...and saying they can't do anything but let it pass

Putin will never honor a 'peace agreement' unless he gets everything he wants the reason for his invasion and war have not changed

in the bright daylight and in plain sight with no attempt at hiding it just a reminder that, regardless of laws, etc., trump is just being 'presidential' and can run his grifts during his tenure and Elon doesn't even have to bribe Clarence or any other judges

it takes time for Putin to construct the exact response he needs trump/Marco/etc. to offer sometimes they need his guidance so they don't accidentally screw his plans up

trump took the course back in the 60's...well, he didn't actually attend or anything, but he did get a good grade when he paid some guy to show up and take the tests

trump thinks tariffs only work in one direction somebody in the White House needs to run a 'Tariffs 101' course for the crew at least the EU is allowing for a little time for some of the now-standard 'tariffs off' maneuver that has been evidenced lately out of DC apnews.com/article/trum...

the president of the united states has a side gig

about trump's take on the economy and what Americans might have to be ready to experience:

the markets speak!

how good is she? Elon is spending millions to defeat her

this is for all the people, when commenting on aid to Ukraine in its defense against Putin's war, that say, "I just want my tax dollars spent on America in America" like this? www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
