I’m problematic and like Ranch Dressing more than I should. Fascism is bad, mmmkay. Blue blip in an ocean of red.

@cnbc.com - check your word usage. "Inflation edged higher in July, according to the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure, indicating that President Donald Trump’s tariffs are weaning their way through the U.S. economy." Is inflation really "weaning" its way through the system?

My take is that Donald Trump is proclaiming so many national emergencies (8 so far) so that when the time comes, the idea of not having an election is more palatable when that national emergency is declared.

Gee... maybe could have been avoided instead of putting us in a place where America gets discounted because Emporer Child Trump is forced to fold. Im sure it will be slightly obfuscated, but the world isn't idiots. Hey, how about that Putin ceasefire that disappeared? www.cnbc.com/2025/04/22/b...

cnbc.comBessent says he expects 'de-escalation' in U.S.-China tariff fight in the 'very near future'Stocks, already recovering from the prior day's sell off, soared higher on news of the remarks from Trump Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

This administration seems so dumb. I don’t agree with the tariffs, but why would you pull your own tariff without trying to at least give the appearance of it being an item of leverage? Did they put in place in the first place because they are stupid? We know the answer to that, but cmon.

It basically admits your staff either didn’t sit down and take a minute to think about the consequences OR just are dumb. And then to take what could be a piece of leverage.. or at least something to walk back your dumbness … you just trip over yourself, looking weak and feckless. #Trump

Elon Musk's business *relies* on China. Elon Musk never is critical of China and is critical of America every day. There is a non-zero (and pretty substantial) chance he is a Chinese asset - maybe wittingly, maybe not. That we are including him in potential military plans against China is bizarre.

Trump has globally signaled we are an expansionist country, basically telling shitbags and tyrants world wide that everything America has stood for since WWII is a crock of shit. "Have at er" ~ Donald Trump to conquerors.
