Trump-aligned club for the ultra rich launches in Washington I love it. I'm sure there won't be a Tik Tok video on how you working class folks who voted for us are not welcome at our club. Where we talk about what tax cuts we want for ourselves, or what public safety regulations really get under Elon's skin. Poor little rich men. Even though they bought the best White House and SCOTUS and Congress money can buy, nobody will let them speak. At least they now have a place where they can get a word, or a tax cut, in edgewise. Meanwhile, the rest of us can eat journalists.

Larry Summers summed it all up nicely, in a Harvardy elitist way that only Larry Summers can do. Poor @Barknaway! The stupid yapping dog used TikTok so masterfully to try to persuade us that Trump was something other than an evil incompetent piece of shit POTUS. And yet here he is. An evil incompetent piece of shit POTUS, sinking in approval just like in his first term. The difference in the sequel is Trump may actually yet wreck the economy. There is an upside. My one big disappointment with Season 3 of The White Lotus is that we did not have an Evil Gays subplot, like in Seasons 1 and 2. I missed the Evil Gay Hotel Manager or the Evil Trust Fund Murderi…

Trump is a traitorous pig. He is a traitor to democracy. His pig-like brain makes him weak. He thinks he is strong and smart. But he keeps showing America and the world he is stupid and weak. As Harris warned during the debate, Putin is eating the weak traitorous pig for lunch. This traitor belongs in jail. The weak stupid pig thinks he wants peace. He is actually working to create more violence. He is allowing Putin's genocide to work.

It actually is kind of funny that Trump has the brain of a pig. It will cause tragedy all over the world. It already has in Ukraine. And the middle class and working class will be fucked royally by higher prices and perhaps a recession. But in a way it is funny, really. America is this great superpower. And yet we elect a guy we fired, who has a stupid pig brain. Why is that not funny? Let's take the stupid insolent pig's press secretary at her actual loyal groveling words. She said literally "EVERYONE in the Pentagon" is against Hegseth. So let's see. Most generals and war makers are actually NOT woke liberals. They are cold-eyed realists. So if t…

How the Bond Markets Tamed Trump It's beyond ironic that Mike Pence's former Chief of Staff is calling out the insolent pig Trump for being a dumb shit. The American people get it. The insolent pig does not. What a useless insolent pig this bankrupt leader is. By the way, is this a new Trump bankruptcy yet? To add to the irony, the Pope apparently told JD Vance that there is an afterlife. Trump apparently needs a redo on life, since he was an insolent pig this go round. The Pope told Vance Trump is due to come back as the bond market. Apparently it is God's plan. Jim Carville could not be reached for comment. 😉

From CNBC President Donald Trump is registering the worst economic approval numbers of his presidential career amid broad discontent over his handling of tariffs, inflation and government spending, according to the latest CNBC All-America Economic Survey. The survey found that the boost in economic optimism that accompanied Trump’s reelection has disappeared, with more Americans now believing the economy will get worse than at any time since 2023 and with a sharp turn toward pessimism about the stock market. The survey of 1,000 Americans across the country showed 44% approving of Trump’s handling of the presidency and 51% disapproving, slightly better than …

The Orange Oranga-tan's administration has officially designated that the Covid-19 epidemic was the result of a lab leak. This doesn't seem to be universally accepted as fact. Is this just another MAGA red herring to distract from the complete failure of trump's Covid policies and his current failing economic policies? I doubt that we will ever be able to definitively determine the origin of the pandemic. https://www.newsweek.com/trump-admin-declares-china-lab-leak-true-origins-covid-19-2061481

From The BBC The US Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to pause the deportation of a group of alleged Venezuelan gang members. The men are being held in detention in north Texas under an 18th-Century wartime law, and a civil liberties group has sued the government saying they have not had a change to contest their case in court. Donald Trump has sent accused Venezuelan gang members to a notorious mega-jail in El Salvador, invoking the 1798 Alien Enemies Act which gives the president power to order the detention and deportation of natives or citizens of "enemy" nations without usual processes. The act had previously been used…

https://nypost.com/2025/04/18/us-news/fsu-shooter-phoenix-ikner-biological-mom-anne-mari-eriksen-kidnapped-him-amid-custody-battle/ Phoenix Ikner has been identified as the alleged shooter at Florida State University in Tallahassee. Not surprising, he is reportedly on medication for mental issues and is a MAGAt and espouses white supremacy ideology (redundancy noted). I hope he isn't a participating member of this forum.

If other countries capitulate to donOLD's demands and lower their tariffs on American-made products, will it make any difference if importers don't import the products because American-made products are boycotted or simply can't compete with locally-produced products or those produced from other low-expense countries (such as China, Vietnam, Indonesia, etc)?

I don't get it. Can anyone explain this to me? One simple bumper sticker that makes some sense about what Trump is doing is this: "The whole world against China." Let's forget about the fact that Republicans, more than Democrats, championed the idea that trade and outsourcing and globalization are inherently good and fair. Since billionaires like Elon Musk make more money doing it. Let's also forget that maybe it doesn't make sense to dramatically reverse course after decades of building up China with trade and investment to now say, "Oh, geez. We fucked up." What I really don't get is this. If we assume the goal of the whole world against China is…

NOTE -- What was shaping up as a spat over tariffs between the US and China is now being felt elsewhere. From CNBC Turkey’s central bank surprised markets on Thursday when it raised its key interest rate, the one-week repurchase rate, from 42.5% to 46%, ending the easing cycle it began in December of last year. The decision comes on the back of economic disruption due to U.S. tariffs and major political unheaval and investor flight following the arrest of Istanbul mayor and opposition leader Ekrem Imamoglu in March. “The decisiveness regarding tight monetary stance is strengthening the disinflation process through moderation in domestic deman…

A few heartening interviews and articles about ascendant moderate Democrats: I absolutely love every moment of that interview. Particularly the part where Rahm states that the tens of millions of Americans who were screwed by globalization or left behind have every right to be furious. Of course, when he runs for POTUS he will also argue that these Trump voters have every right to be furious at Trump for trying to take their Obamacare away in 2017. And (possibly) taking their Medicaid away in 2025 to pay for Elon Musk's tax cuts. The insolent stupid pig Donald "Judas" Trump is way more stupid than Rahm. And I love it that Rahm attacks Demo…

It's the inflation, stupid! What is wrong with our insolent stupid racist POTUS pig? Why can't his deformed narcissistic pig brain understand this? It is not that difficult a concept. Even the elite media and terrified Republicans can get it right. ‘The opposite of what Americans voted for’: Market turmoil causes Trump backlash With the markets in chaos as a result of Trump’s tariffs, the president is facing the most sustained criticism of his term from within the GOP. It's the inflation, stupid! What is wrong with the insolent pig's stupid brain? Can't he fathom what voters are pissed about? The crude racist …

Once a stupid and weak insolent pig, always a stupid and weak insolent pig. Oink! Oink! Oink! Stupid worthless pig! Jamie Dimon calls out the weak and stupid insolent pig for destroying everything that makes America strong. But the narcissistic insolent pig is too stupid to get it. Larry Summers calls out the weak and stupid insolent pig. He says Trump saying tariffs are good for growth and stability is like saying avoiding vaccines is good for avoiding measles. But the stupid and insolent narcissistic pig is too vain and feeble minded to understand the concept. Oink! Oink! Oink! Stupid weak useless POTUS pig! Even Pig Ball Licker Ted C…

Texas measles outbreak grows to 146 cases, largest in decades The latest update comes two days after the first death was reported in a school-aged child who lived in the outbreak area. Donald Trump's 4 Year Plan. Break shit. Then it won't work. Repeat. Break shit. Then it won't work. Repeat. Break shit. Then it won't work. Repeat. Break shit. Then it won't work. Repeat. Break shit. Then it won't work. Repeat. Break shit. Then it won't work. Repeat. Break shit. Then it won't work. Repeat. Break shit. Then it won't work. Repeat.

The insolent pig Trump is a traitor. Veterans cuts spark GOP backlash on Capitol Hill The insolent pig is a traitor. Trump is betraying everything the nation stands for and fought fought for as he backs Genocide Man. Veterans are being stabbed in the back by this incompetent traitor.

From CNN Democratic-backed candidate Susan Crawford will win Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, CNN projects, maintaining the liberal majority on the court in a key battleground state less than three months into President Donald Trump’s second term. Crawford, a liberal circuit court judge in Dane County, will beat the conservative candidate Brad Schimel, a Waukesha County judge who received Trump’s backing in the final stretch of the campaign. The race was officially nonpartisan, but Crawford’s victory will be seen as a bright spot for Democrats in Wisconsin and nationwide as voters handed the president’s preferred candidate a defeat in the first major political te…

From CNBC The leader of France’s far-right National Assembly Marine Le Pen has been barred from running for public office for five years after being found guilty of misappropriating EU funds, according to Reuters and French media. The decision is a watershed moment in French politics as its halt her 2027 presidential election hopes and throws her party into disarray after a meteoric rise in popularity in recent years. It’s widely expected that Le Pen will launch an appeal against the conviction. Earlier Monday, Le Pen and eight of the party’s MEPs (members of the European Parliament) were found guilty of embezzlement, meaning Le Pen could have faced a 300,0…

Our fanatic right wing loon, is really working his ass off, to support and respond to ANY criticism of Trump. 24/7, he posts EVERY topic where there is disparaging comments or news about Ol Trumpy. We post, Emmy is there in a split second taunt, criticize and oppose us. He really is hoping for the spotlight at Trumps inauguration, and maybe even a shout out from Orange Jesus himself ? EmmetK doesnt let any comment slide by that might hurt Trumps feelings, and always puts a happy, positive spin on any negative FACTUAL post, and as added color, provides a snide little "threat" of retribution to those of us that resist boarding The Trump Train, for its final …
