"Who could have predicted this?" say the people who spent the past year dismissing or mocking those who predicted this.

I wish some major US newspaper or media had the guts to headline this "What A Moron!" with three pictures below: the culprit in his golf attire; a collage of ridiculous and contradictory Truth Social postings; and a market graph. It's probably the most accurate reporting we could have.

Prediction: Today (4/9/25) registered the greatest ill gotten gains from insider trading in history.

If you are making investment decisions why would you invest in this country

Trump’s direction to DOJ to investigate Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor because he doesn’t like what they said is an unprecedented abuse of power by a President of the United States. I call on all Congressional Republicans to condemn this egregious weaponization of the government.

I heart @brooke — telling a suicide bomber who blew up the economy due for no reason that he is brilliant is peak beta chode for Ackman.

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs. That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result. #econsky

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

“The president of the United States just pulled a pump and dump on me”

Not sure how these people sleep at night

“This highly unusual step of directing armed law enforcement officers to the home of a former DoJ employee who has engaged in no misconduct, let alone criminal conduct, simply to deliver a letter, is both unprecedented and completely inappropriate.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

imagine being this pathetic, servile and eager to gulp up the slop

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

That’s because there weren’t any.

IRS Chief just quit in the middle of tax season and a week before tax day bc they’re forcing IRS to share info with ICE to deport immigrants who pay their taxes bc none of this has nothing to do with who is paying taxes but about control and racism. Fascism.

🇪🇺❗️🇺🇸 EU countries are expected to approve on Wednesday the bloc's first countermeasures against Trump's tariffs, - Reuters 👀European Commission proposed extra 25% duties on range of U.S. imports that include motorcycles, fruit, wood, clothing and more, totalling ~$23 billion.

🇨🇳🇺🇦 Zelensky revealed details of the capture of Chinese soldiers. Ukrainian soldiers engaged in combat with 6 Chinese soldiers in Donetsk region, 2 were captured. Important difference: if the North Koreans were in the Kursk region, then the Chinese are already directly on Ukrainian territory.

Guys, guys, guys. It’s not math. It’s not finance. It’s not economics. It’s all about psychology. Abnormal psychology. Read the DSM-5’s chapters on Cluster B personality disorders. And then it all becomes clear. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/b...

Why isn't it mandatory for police officers to have liability insurance? It's batshit. Every profession, from doctor to photographer to architect, has their own insurance. Not cops. When police officers murder an American, you pay out millions to the family, and they retire on a full pension.

Universal chooses Bedford to be location of its first theme park in Europe

This is very very very trumpy

Yah, I still feel nothing for the "this is not what I voted for" people. Nothing.

Q: 60 Minutes found 75% of the migrants who were sent to El Salvador do not have criminal records. That true? BONDI: They're not Venezuelan migrants. They're illegal aliens from Venezuela who should not have been in our country Q: So you're confirming they didn't commit a crime? BONDI: *leaves*

I dont want to get all tin-foil about these things... But i still think he faked the ear shot And i dont believe that all 7 swing states broke out of "neck and neck" to give him a stonking victory against ALL of those polls.

The courts *should* put an immediate and unequivocal halt to all use of the CECOT prison in El Salvador, with or without due process. They may not do that. But the *people* of the US still can. Don't lose of sight of this atrocity amidst the other outrages. Make this a key focus of resistance.

Leavitt confirmed that the WH is working on deporting US citizens to El Salvador

At this point, you can’t convince me they aren’t manipulating the market. As soon as the indexes started peaking today, the White House started talking about tariffs on China, and everything is in the red again.

Reckless cruelty isn’t strength. Capitulation isn’t courage. Cultish allegiance isn’t patriotism. We used to know the difference.

big lesson for america here: one reason you dont elect people who believe bull shit like "theyre eating the pets" or "theyre putting kitty litter boxes in the classrooms" is bc if they get in power theyll believe bull shit like "tariffs are a tax cut actually"

here’s a curse word free version of “look it up” as requested by countless teachers and librarians 🥰😘

if we want to rebuild american institutions and earn back the world’s trust after this we cannot settle for half-measures. lots of people need to go prison. lots more need to be permanently stripped of wealth and power.

Got nervous for a sec. 😰

All I keep thinking about is that if/when Dems regain power, every action to restore normality or basic functioning of governmental institutions will be covered by the national press like it’s a controversial, partisan power play on par with a coup.

NEW: Yesterday, the Justice Department sent armed marshals to warn former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer not to disclose internal DOJ information during her Senate testimony. Today, Oyer is speaking out to condemn the DOJ’s actions and defend the rule of law.

This is hugely horrifying.
