UNAPOLOGETIC RANT This is bullshit. Senate Republicans are trying to quietly slip ANOTHER $1 BILLION into a funding package masquerading as “security” for Trump’s ballroom. Taxpayers shouldn’t get stuck with the bill. 1/2

This take is accurate. Listen to the ABC News interview of Trump by Jonathan Karl this morning. It quickly becomes evident that Trump doesn't actually know the terms of the ceasefire deal he agreed to. He's not a negotiator. He's a buffoon.

Apparently, inflation is bad, but we must impose tariffs to raise the cost of cheap imports so people buy expensive American goods. We can re-shore manufacturing, but to be cost competitive, we have to fully automate factories, replacing American workers with robots.

Listen, Democrats. Until you get serious about putting competent people into leadership, until your actions show us that you believe all the things you say in these endless emails asking for money, you're getting fuckall from me. Get your shit together, and then we can talk about donations.

The Korean parliament vowed to impeach their president EVERY WEEK until his party either stopped protecting him or the guy resigned in disgrace. No other business could proceed until they got rid of the attempted dictator.
