Have they tried apricot?
Drumpf is mentally and physically cracking up. He wonβt last long. Vance and the rest of the crew must not be permitted to carry the hateful agenda forward.
Contrary to Trump's repeated lie, his tariffs are NOT paid by other countries. The New York Federal Reserve has confirmed that 90% of the economic burden of his tariffs has fallen on US companies and consumers. Trump is not only a pathological liar but economically illiterate too. What a surprise π
$1.5T military budget
$170B on ICE & Border Patrol
$100B on tax cuts for the 1%
$20B from Treasury for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$500M sending National Guard into cities
$250M on Kristi Noem's jets
$100M+ on Trump's golf outings
$75k for Kash Patel's Olympic trip

TRUMP SAID TARIFFS WOULD IMPROVE OUR TRADE DEFICIT!
The U.S. trade deficit reached a record high of $1.24 trillion in 2025, despite tariffs. It remains one of the largest trade deficits on record.

I went gold panning just around the bend from there.
The corporate media refuses to acknowledge this. They are only concerned with revenue.
Been following this all through 2025. Think of the $$$ not spent by this may people. Some estimate $50 Billion. Probably a combination of people not wanting to come here & less disposable income for others.
Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.
If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?
Know who's not afraid of releasing the Epstein files?
Bill Clinton.
He and Hillary keep saying to release them all and the the truth come out.
"The more credible a general strike is, the less of a chance there is that weβll have to employ it." The logic of peace through strength applied to a general strike against domestic authoritarianism.

W paved the way for Drumpf.
Iβm sticking to my policy of muting people who post the Rockwell Free Speech meme (usually with pointless comments like βMy cat knows better than yoursβ). Iβd still like, for the record, to point out that the guy is a dead ringer for my childhood friend Harold Kβs father, hands and everything.
Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
Itβs not about what this country can or canβt afford.
Itβs about priorities.
You didnβt think all those concentration camps they want to build are only for immigrants, did you? (Gift article)
The reality of its chaotic possibilitiesβ¦ Thatβs nicely enough put. I think the problems really started in the W years when we were asked to give up personal freedoms in the name of defending national ones but in reality freedom was defined by a global class of class criminals. Now weβre spiraling.

Iβm often down on the NYT. This is a good and seriously frightening piece.
The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

Letβs face it. A one-day strike or boycott is useless, barely symbolic of what needs to be done. A prolonged general strike will be painful, but the pain of not doing it is becoming unbearable.
Only 58% of Latino voters believe ICE is going too far? What am I missing?

It's undeniable, our country has unleashed hatred in such an unimaginable way. Our government is murdering US citizens. π‘
Too somber, even for me.
You call Ron Johnson.
