Trump’s tariff disaster continues to play out as exports of US agriculture products plummet. Countries that import American farm products will source elsewhere costing market share. Next will be legislation to provide farmers and ranchers billions of dollars in subsidies at taxpayer expense.

When asked by ABC reporter Terry Moran what the Declaration of Independence means to him, Trump responded “Well, it means exactly what it says, it’s a declaration, it’s a declaration of unity and love and respect, and it means a lot and it’s something very special to our country.” He has no clue.

The party of Jesus:

MAGA folks whining that you didn’t sign up for this, Trump has an au contraire for you. … some people who voted for you, say “I didn’t sign up for this” — so how do you address those concerns? Trump: They did sign up for it, actually, and this is what I campaigned on. Fact-check: True.

Trump explains how his tariffs will impact children this Christmas. "Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more." Merry Christmas kids from the Grinch who’s stealing your Christmas, MAGA!

Imagine being Jeff Bezos, one of the richest people on the planet, being Trump’s bitch.

New Federal Election Commission filings shows that the Trump administration has dropped or paused federal enforcement cases against at least 17 corporations that donated to the president's inaugural fund, an indication that companies' attempts to bribe the White House are already paying off.

The Commander and Chief of the nation’s morons has once again backtracked on implementing his tariffs (aka tax) for 90’days with the exception of China. This is how people act when they have no idea what they’re doing.

Obviously golf is much more important

Trump oddly declared that he was the "fertilization president" during a Women's History Month event late Wednesday afternoon. I’m sure he’s fertilized numerous women during his decades of being married to the mothers of his children.

Democrats in Congress are increasingly nervous about primaries from younger, angrier and more liberal challengers. They should be nervous. Who needs leaders that don’t lead, lead from behind, or simply follow?

Just so I understand… if a president doesn’t like a federal agency or a federal program which congress created he simply writes an executive order and poof! It’s gone? It’s facing to see congress, a co-equal branch of government, simply roll over and play dead.

We have the richest man in the world who has made it his mission in life to take food, medicine and aid from those who need it most and people are cheering him on. Think about that.

“A Generational Loss of Talent” - Scientist Warns Funding Cuts in Science, Tech, and Health Undermine U.S. Leadership. Students left in limbo with PhD programs paused. Essential scientific research slashed. Key disease response meetings cancelled Anti-science is winning to the our detriment. MAGA

How the Dems sat through that bullshit is beyond me. If they had any guts, they would have stood up en masse, walked out and left Trump talking to a half empty room.

Thanks to Trump, right-wing influencer Andrew Tate and his brother arrived in FL after being banned from leaving Romania. The 2 were charged in 2022 with rape, human trafficking, money laundering and starting an organized crime group. Trump pressured Romanian officials to lift the travel ban. MAGA!

Don’t forget.

83 year old Mitch McConnell announced he will not run for re-election thus sparing the nation of having to witness his continued mental and physical decline. The most powerful US Senator, represents one of the lowest ranking states in terms of almost every category his constituents care about.

When you’re elected and non elected officials are ideologues and buffoons this what you get.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) said she wants Congress to question key investigators of John F. Kennedy’s assassination – including physicians who examined him and members of the Warren Commission. Wait till she finds out they’ve all been dead for decades and therefore unavailable.

Remember when Trump pursued an aggressive trade policy, imposing 10-20% tariffs on about $350 billion worth of Chinese imports, along with similar tariffs on steel and aluminum. But instead of shrinking, the trade deficit increased by nearly 40% from $480 billion in 2016 to $680 billion in 2020.

It’s amazing how fast government agencies announce a new policy followed quickly by its reversal. It almost seems like not much thought has been given to anything.

Democrats on the Hill are warning that Trump is sometimes acting outside the law and without regard for government services Americans rely on, and for the American tradition that a president must be subject to checks, balances, scrutiny and criticism. Of course, they haven’t done anything about it.

It will be interesting to see whether the major news organizations cave and submit to the felon or show strength and fiercely criticize what’s happening. I’m not hopeful the latter will prevail.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt after the Canadian Prime Minister said he would consider cutting off electricity to America in retaliation to US tariffs told reporters, “They want you to panic, but Trump wants you to remember Jesus didn’t have electricity either and he did just fine,"

From ProPublica: On Friday morning, the staffers at a half dozen U.S.-funded medical facilities in Sudan who care for severely malnourished children had a choice to make: Defy Trump’s order to immediately stop their operations or let up to 100 babies and toddlers die. They chose the children

Our convicted felon signed the Laken Riley Act into law today, expanding the scope of those who can be arrested, detained and deported for minor an offense or assault on law enforcement officers. No conviction is necessary. Oddly, Trump just pardoned his supporters charged with assault on police.

The Democrats seem like a rudderless ship casting about in a sea of Republican initiatives hell bent on destroying America’s institutions from the inside. Does the party even have a leader?

Remember when Trump disavowed project 2025 during the campaign? He’s now filled his administration with people who have ties to the right-wing manifesto and is busy implementing it. Meanwhile Democrats have no plan for anything and can’t implement anything.

The mainstream media should stop with the obsession of labeling “fake news” and fact checking and simply call a lie a lie. The headline isn’t what Trump said, the headline is that Trump lied. Most people don’t read past the headline so burying the fact that what was said is a lie is useless.

Convicted felon and chief didn’t place his hand on the Bible while taking the oath of office. He followed-up his religiosity by rage tweeting about the Bishop who performed the service at Washington National Cathedral on Tuesday saying “She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart.” Love it

Congress passed an immigrant detention bill in first legislative win for Trump with significant support from Democrats. The bill would not have been able to advance to final passage in the Senate without support from key Democrats. So much for the “resistance”.

This makes me happy.

Trump revoked Biden's order for federal agencies to promote voter registration because a when your agenda is to install a permanent minority government, who wants more voters?

When you hear Pundits say that Trump's flood of executive orders are “rife with dangerous and illegal abuses of power that will not hold up under the slightest legal scrutiny”, don’t believe it. The Supreme Court has shown itself to be filled with partisan hacks willing to do Trump’s bidding.

U.S. Board on Geographic Names website states that there must be a compelling reason to change the name of a natural feature. I’m guessing that a whim by a petulant man-child bigot shouldn’t count.

What a sad day for America. A vengeful convicted felon, sexual abuser, serial lier, adulterer and half-wit buffoon, is about to take an oath he cares little about. What’s worse is that we, as nation, put him there twice.

Religious conservatives are trying to end Affordable Care Act insurance coverage of an incredibly effective anti-HIV drug. The goal isn’t “religious freedom”, it’s cruelty.

The law banning TikTok passed with strong bipartisan support in Congress, citing national security concerns. The law was subsequently upheld by the Supreme Court. Trump, now says, "I have a warm spot in my heart for TikTok.” Will issue an executive order to undermine both Congress and the Court.

Everyone should remember that Trump was all for banning TikTok before he was against it saying a ban would empower Facebook, which called the "enemy of the people." Zuck the Cuck has since given Trump $1 M and is no longer the enemy. This allows Trump to flip flop on the ban.

This coming week is going to be miserable so buckle up.

If every social media platform disappeared overnight, we’d all be better off. Just sayin’.

Jeff Bezos has a massive $80 million private jet that’s nearly 110 feet long. Bezos buying this jet is the equivalent of the median American household spending roughly $68. You will make a bigger dent on your overall wealth by taking your family out to dinner.

It’s not okay for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. But it's okay for America's billionaires to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. Do I have this right?

Many Republicans now have more objections to democracy than to dictatorships.
