Comrade Krasnov, I presume?

To be clear: a tariff is a tax.

Elon vs Trump. Who is the better manipulator ? How long can they play nice ?

The kicker quotes from Prof. Jason Stanley are 🎯🎯🎯 www.nytimes.com/2025/03/08/u...

It would be a real shame if y'all shared this online, printed out a few and hung up all around the Eastern Shore of Maryland. 😉

May I suggest that the Democratic Party look to Matt Drudge for messaging advice.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Some of us have been saying this since 2020 and even before: Dems should make corruption *the* central issue in US politics and public life and go on the offensive against GOP/MAGA/Trump transparent and hypocritical corruption and grifting. Most voters hate corruption.

Posted by @attorneycrump.bsky.social: “Target, once a corporate leader in DEI, now faces a 40-day boycott led by Rev. Jamal Bryant after scaling back its diversity efforts. The retailer currently faces declining sales, tariff pressures, and customer visits dropping more than rival competitors.”

It takes several months to complete the FAA Academy and two to four years of on-the-job training to become a certified air traffic controller, but don’t worry, the ones Elon’s DOGEbags want fired will be replaced with “geniuses from M.I.T.” So this is fine. Everything is fine.

Imagine a President tearing up a $2.4B contract just so he could hand the money to his top political financial supporter. Cronyism and politics at its worst. It’s what's happening now at the FAA. Trump wants to hand $2.4 BILLION in taxpayer dollars straight to Elon Musk. I'm fighting to stop it.

He can take his swastikars and shove them up his ass.

Trump voters: “We want cheaper goods!” [They elect Trump. Prices go up] The Trump administration: “Americans never wanted cheaper goods.”

So, the billionaire-appointed centimillionaire in charge of our Treasury wants all those “price of eggs” voters to know that it’s no big deal that everything is more expensive now because paying less for shit isn’t actually the “American Dream.” Is MAGA really that fucking dumb?

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip: He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress. He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession. He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law. Keep fighting.

I see tomorrow is Friday. Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day? Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else? I just can’t keep track.

Here’s a nice story, I re-met this gentleman in Appleton WI last night, he was my opponents tracker in 2010, would come and record me, but was always polite. We got along well, despite being on opposite sides. Now we’re both on the same side!

The explosion of SpaceX’s Starship is a good metaphor for Trump’s failed presidency — except the whole country is dealing with the debris.

What an incredibly incompetent clown. Maybe he should have thought about the (patently obvious) effect of tariffs on the auto industry *before* imposing them? He’s like a monkey on a keyboard.

It's a CULT It's a CULT It's a CULT It's a CULTLY CULT CULT It's a very brainwashed CULT It's a psychotic CULT ran by pedo felon. A CULT A CULT A CULT Just in case I wasn't clear It's a CULT!

Yep, it’s hard to disagree with this.

Say something to your representatives

An Uber driver picked me up at the airport tonight, and he spent half the trip home bitching about how much he hates Elon Musk. 🤣🤣

Exactly this.

The same Republicans who have refused to do anything about school shootings, let hungry kids starve, rolled back child labor laws & defunded childhood cancer research are now using a single young boy as prop. If they truly cared about him they wouldn’t be gutting the programs designed to help him.

It’s more than just evidence; it’s essentially a confession of judgment.

Let this sink in.

Former GOP Rep. Charlie Dent told MSNBC in passing that the Republicans he's hearing from are being "overwhelmed" by the flood of angry calls and emails from constituents back home.

Imagine being this proud of this much fucking stupid.

Not just a very special idiot — the WORLD’S BIGGEST idiot!

They’re busy gaslighting us with proganda and lies, because the actual shit they’re doing is really, really bad for America. youtu.be/LFYiXYAwxzk?...

There are some Trump administration lawyers who need to be disbarred.

I refuse to normalize him. I did not vote for him, he does not represent me, and I do not believe he is at all deserving of being here—and so I grieve his ascension and resist his ugliness. I will not comply, bow, or obey. FULL POST: johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-do-not-o...

Without Congressional action, the World Trade Center Health Program will begin denying care for 9/11 survivors & first responders. Unacceptable. I joined NY colleagues in introducing a bill to secure permanent funding for WTCHP, so those impacted get the help they deserve.

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address: Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

This is the first page of this morning’s edition of the Globe and Mail (arguably the English Canadian paper of record) I don’t remember seeing anything like this before
