Am I the only one who can't ****ing breathe right now.
Nothing Trump is saying in this tariff announcement seems like it can be verified. It is as if he just makes up his own numbers and facts. It is just another firehose of bullshit.
This all seems like madness.

A federal judge who ordered the Trump administration on Tuesday to restore taxpayer funding for legal services for illegal immigrants has worked for one of the advocacy groups involved in the litigation, an apparent conflict of interest that could give the administration ammunition to seek her recusal from the case.
Araceli Martinez-Olguin, a judge in the U.S. District Court of Northern California, worked from 2017 to 2018 as managing attorney for Community Legal Services in East Palo Alto, according to records she submitted to the Senate during her confirmation process. At CLSEPA, Martinez-Olguin established the group's Immigrants' Rights Project, where she "identified issues for local or state policy advocacy and impact litigation." That included lobbying San Mateo county officials to establish a taxpayer-funded initiative to provide legal representation to illegal aliens, according to Martinez-Olguin's Senate disclosures.

Aside from Rush Limbaugh and the rise of FOX, the following 3 individuals will be remembered as the men who broke American Democracy:
1. Mitch McConnell
A. He denied President Obama his constitutional right to put Merrick Garland on the Supreme Court because with 7 months to go, it was too close to the 2016 election, yet rammed through Amy Coney Barrett just 6 weeks before the 2020 election.
B. Twice he could have in instructed the GOP majority to convict Trump at his impeachment trials, but let him off the hook.
2. John Roberts
A. His lead on the Citizens United ruling in 2010 sold our democracy to the uber rich.
B. His giving Trump immunity from prosecution for short term political gain gave a rebirth to the monster the Republicans created.
3. Merrick Garland
A. For 2 years he did nothing in terms of prosecuting Trump, yet was forced to by the January 6th Committee.
B. When he could have released documents and reports before the election that showed what Trump did, he remained an institutionalist for a man that believes he alone is bigger than the Constitution.
God Help Us!

Liberals anxious about whether their SS check will arrive because they think Trump is targeting them is entertaining as hell. Maybe it will cause enough anxiety to kill a couple of them.
Wait until they figure out that all those LED bulbs they've been buying tolower their energy footprintkeep their power bill from cutting into their weed "budget" are all equipped with boom mics on the circuit board and they're all tied in to feed on VRWC Data Feed Channel #5.
Karens know no boundaries. They can be found all over the world. In this case compare the British Karen vs the American Karen of the parking lot variety. Which one is more unhinged? The British Karen obviously has the edge in the utter stupidity department but the American Karen has more physical energy getting riled up apparently over ...absolutely nothing. In any case, stay on the alert for parking lot Karens. No matter which side of the pond they are on, they are all seriously deranged.
