To the surprise of no one the US dollar is tanking as Trump fires a Fed governor.
The independence of the central bank from political sway has caused the US dollar to be a solid place for the world to park its money. Trump has now squashed that as he seeks to mimick Argentina and other banana republics that allowed their crackpot dictator to squash their currency value as they directed monetary policy.
Another day, another morning when hundreds of cowardly GOP politicians woke up and decided to still do nothing about their autocratic "leader."
What's the average number of years left in the 6-year terms of GOP senators? And what's their average net worth? And what's their average annual earning power?
Trump, being an anti-free speech, pro-censorship, anti-First Amendment, Socialist signed an executive order making flag burning punishable by 1 year in jail. The Supreme Court has already ruled that flag burning is Constitutionally protected symbolic speech. Only the idiot cult thinks signing clearly illegal executive orders is a good idea. Trump should each get punched in the face every time he does something blatantly unconstitutional. Thanks for your attention to this matter.
And... a VETERAN (maybe it was Adolt?!) was arrested for burning a flag in Lafayette Park (violation of 36 CFR 2.13(a)(1), prohibited fire). Will the idiot cult call for his deportation? Will Trump end up looking a like a f*cking idiot for signing a blatantly unconstitutional executive order?
adolt being a veteran update: Advertises his belief that only SEALS and Corpsman see combat. So,.......
Non-veteran online fraud?
Or, just your run-of-the-mill GED-holding, low-level, poor-performing, short-timer (cuz they didn't want him), Army enlisted soldier (who may or may not have ever deployed)?
I think that if you ignore the trolls that sound like young children hurling insults because they haven't learned to manage their feelings, I think you may find that Sally Vix may be the only one that doesn't sound like a crying child.
Repeatedly claiming that Harris has an IQ of 76 is just one example of his childishness.
Good point, but far worse than just childish, of course.
"All told, according to the Budget Lab at Yale, the Trump administration has raised the average effective tariff rate to 18.6% for Americans. This towering figure is approaching the devastating 19.8% rate imposed by the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, a notorious measure that helped sink the U.S. economy during the Great Depression.
Just how big will the tariff tax hit be? According to the nonpartisan Tax Foundation, by the end of 2025, the run rate is predicted to be $210 billion annually. That’s a big number. Itequates to over 9% of personal income taxes and 40% of corporate taxes paid in 2024. According to the Budget Lab at Yale, the Trump tariffs will lift a total of $2.7 trillion from Americans’ pockets through 2034"
Nope. Foreign countries pay the tariffs. Trump and his administration and mo-rans online told me.
The number of bad nouns and adjectives that come to mind with Trump and Trumpism is long. But until recently, for as bad as it is and has been, "evil" wasn't necessarily often one of them.
But FLAUNTING the sending of immigrants - illegal AND LEGAL (like Garcia) - to South Sudan and Uganda and other completely unjustified locations makes me realize that I was slow. Yeah, definitely slow, because the SECOT/El Salvador stuff should have been all that I needed.
When an actual inhabitant of Mt. Rushmore talked about carrying a big stick, this was EXACTLY the kind of shallow, pathetic, tin-pot dictator propaganda stuff he was talking about.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Imagine getting the day off work for Donald Trump’s birthday. Receiving a $100 bill with Trump’s portrait on it. Touching down at Donald J. Trump International Airport near the nation’s capital. And taking in a show at the Donald J. Trump Center for Performing Arts. All would be possible under a flurry of bills Republican lawmakers have sponsored this year.

Monster truck, pro wrestling, or Lee Greenwood/Kid Rock double bill ?

It's really quite interesting. On the one hand, financially and lifestyle-wise, the NYC silver-spooner is so NOT like his base.
And yet, intellectually (and ethically, and morally, and....), he's so MUCH like his base.
