And now Trump is pretending that the lickspittle toadies he has put in DOJ/FBI are not fully under the control of his "unitary executive." His total (and justified) contempt for the intelligence of his supporters is boundless.

I don't watch any network news, but it is hard to believe that anyone else even comes close to the cloying stupidity of Jesse Watters.

Only a Trumpkin would be dumb enough to brag about one of the most obvious examples of stupid trade/industrial policy and flagrant crony capitalism.

I am really looking forward to the Trumpkins bragging about the American bananas being produced in green houses at 5X the world price after the Brazil tariffs kick in. So much winning.

This is what happens when you combine a lawyer with the NYT Op-Ed page. Pure economic illiteracy emerges. (With the exception, of course, of Scott Lincicome.) marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu…

"Obama was 'sedacious'...." Well then he should definitely be indicted for "sedacion." I certainly hope that Adam Smith was right when he said "[b]e assured, my young friend, that there is a great deal of ruin in a nation." Since we are testing that theory.

What is the economic system called where the political leader gets to decide "the projects he thinks are the most important for America"? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

One less vote for JD Vance in 2028.

And Sen. Bernie Sanders still thinks that we need to make college free so that we can send even more of these highly mature, independent and capable young adults to a 4-year daycare center. We are doomed.

Tim Scott is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but even he has a look on his face like "WTAF is this guy talking about?"

I have a friend who (at least) pretends to be MAGA. But he also admits that it's just nihilism. This is a real thing. There are some people who like Trump just because he's a destroyer.

Right wingers are hypocrites about sex. So, they have these types of scandels. Lefties are hypocrites about money. So, they tend to have financial scandels. I have seen studies that find, on average, this is true.

This, it goes without saying, is why Trump wants to be President: wanting others to assuage his pathetic ego in order to get access to OPM. He's such an a-hole that he doesn't want to use his own money to buy the sycophancy he craves.

Anyone who isn't nauseated by this has a terminal case of TAKS ("Trump Ass-Kissing Syndrome"). thehill.com/homenews/admin…

UFB Hamas uses Palestinians as human shields specifically to create "martyrs" for PR purposes, but this guy is pissed at Israel for feeding him too inconveniently. And idiots like CNN treat this like a serious comment.

I don’t understand. Foreigners are paying these tariffs. How can you “rebate” something that has never been paid? thehill.com/homenews/senat…

Elizabeth Warren is why the word “harridan” has to come back into common usage. She is unable to talk without screeching. If they remake “Cuckoo’s Nest,” I nominate her for the role of Nurse Ratched. Elizabeth Warren
