Another day of Trump losing in court (twice in this case).
In Texas, U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez granted the ACLU's request, blocking any such deportations of migrants held at the El Valle Detention Center in Raymondville, Texas, through April 23. Rodriguez, appointed by Trump during his first term as president, cited the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who the government says it deported to El Salvador in error but cannot bring back.
I know many of us are retired or semi retired and not doing the daily grind anymore. But those of us that stay involved in the corporate world and industrial world through consulting etc are seeing an economic sh!tshow like this country hasn’t seen in ages. The fundamentals of the economy are crashing in ways that Wall Street Gamblers and technical traders haven’t appreciated yet.
All because of one man. One sociopathic narcissist criminal who has surrounded himself with incompetent loyalists.

Great Job America.
I was snoozing after the first 2 sentences. Can you do a short recap?

Who cares? Some farms / hotels are owned by Trump supporters / donors.
Biden and Democrats have done similar things - Soros DAs don't prosecute crime.
“Whatever Trump says is the law, I don’t care how selectively he enforces it, he is my King to whom I swear total fealty”
Trump tariffs: On, market falls. Pause, market gains some losses back.
On part 2, more bigly, market falls. Pause, market gains some losses back.
Businesses and foreign countries now understand this is the whim of one old man with no long term plan.
Countries can either pretend to capitulate without anything in writing OR threaten massive retaliation and Trump will back off. China is an exception, but that trade war WILL cause inflation for Americans. Inflation typically does not go back to previous prices.
Businesses are realizing that Trump and America are going to change the rules constantly and are moving capital out. Businesses previously considering onshoring are now putting those plans on hold in hopes of stability that Trump is hell bent on never providing.
Maga cheers! What a genius! Instability, inflation, businesses canceling orders, exports down, mass layoffs. But most importantly, it made the libs mad.

A lot of people just don't understand that businesses have to plan. Even in a difficult economy, you can plan if circumstances and events are fairly predictable.
In an economy that's being arbitrarily whipsawed back and forth, you cannot plan. So you play it as safe as you can: no new hires, no new investment. And the economy contracts.
we're seeing in real time the dumbshlt simple mindedness of insular right wing talk radio (illegal aliens bad! trade deficit bad! manufacturing good!) come smack against the real world. And there is no resolution other than markets collapsing and economies shrinking.
trump is what happens when someone burns out his mind on right wing talk radio and tries to put its views into practice.
Wild to see it happen in real time. He has no idea why his 'common sense' ideas are really terrible and stupid. They are the only ideas he knows. Rush Limbaugh told him they were correct so that's enough for him.
you absolute idiots.

In addition, a lot of people don’t understand that the reason the US dollar and The United States as a country is the preferred place to invest and do business by international firms is because of stability, laws and structure.
And a lot of people don’t understand the reason international students want to come to the US to study is because of a premier College institutional system.
And the reason top scientists and Medical researchers want to be here is to be at the forefront of medical research and discovery.
I'm at a company that is pretty insulated from tariffs. Just put new hires and large investments on hold. Not because of the stock market, but because it is impossible to predict what new, idiotic, thing will come out of the administration.
this is actually perversely impressive. Trump says that if you came here illegally by breaking US laws and shouldn't be on US soil....
...your illegal alien status is perfectly fine and ICE won't bother you... if you work on a farm or a hotel. They'll even reward your illegal presence on US soil by working with you on a path to a permanent stay.
Shows what morans you all are. Hope you feel stupid after parroting his lines for years about mass deportations, punishing criminals and simply wanting to enforce the laws of the United States of America.
That's not the m'aga position anymore. Commence swinging in the wind! Another 180 degree position change is required of you to stay loyal to Donald J Trump!
remember, to these people, a stock market down 20%, the dollar under siege, every nation hating us, amnesty given to illegal immigrants, 100% tariffs on China, the DOJ converted to a political wing of the ruling party, that a recession is now likely only because of GOP policies...
to them, despite ALL THAT, this is better than Harris as president.
they are terrible citizens of a republic.

“Trump’s education secretary referred to artificial intelligence as “A1”—like the popular steak sauce—instead of “AI” during a panel on AI in education.”
We will smash China up and down whatever lineup they can muster up. China is no concern because, philosophically, they are fighting from a position of loss. Nobody on Earth wants to be Chinese. They cannot win a trade War. They need us or there will be no trade. So, while the Chinese continue to copy our old technology, America will be brilliantly creating the new. That’d the benefit of having free thinkers and why we told the Brits to hit the bricks long ago. The Chinese have no shot at winning a War on technology. Join their side at your peril.
The libs hate Trump so much that they actually WANT China to win the trade war. Traitors!!!!
How can you call that being a traitor when the Republicans openly want Putin to rule them?

Trump will cut my taxes and the market will go back up soon.
Don't care about the Canada jokes at all. Nor do I care about him exacting revenge on those who wronged him.

Keep on saying that to the mirror. You sounding pathetic. Do we have 4 more years of you posting this garbage and lies?
European countries have spent lots of money fighting wars for US- such as in Afghanistan. What did we get in return? Germany had to give up land and money after their two world wars. I expect US to pay us back for destroying the stock market and causing so much disruption. Give us a few states and money to cover the lost revenues and we are good.
The problem is that US politicians don't know anything about business. They get played by their rich advisors. I think no president should have more in income than the average citizen. US have a high inflation they don't know how to deal with, so they try desperate measures that a normal person with a PhD can see won't work
