The orange tyrant continues to make the United States uninvestable. He is turning off new investment by American companies as well foriegn direct investment. What board could reasonably take a chance on Trump’s wildly vacillating moods and notions?

The orange tyrant has made the United States a notoriously unreliable partner. The dictator only knows how to be a mob boss bully. He doesn’t have another schtick.

The orange tyrant’s Pentagon flunkies apparently don’t realize that their oaths to defend the Constitution include a commitment to freedom of the press. Can somebody organize a short civics class for them?

Interview this AM on Hawaii Public Radio with the owner of 2-3 sandwich shops in Honolulu. Really good cheese steak sandwiches. Before Trump, he spent $8-$10K a month on beef. Now, after Trump’s tariffs, it’s more than $20K a month, eating all his profit. Not sure how long he can last.

Bigly sad. Being an American diplomat was once a career to aspire to. I am proud of my own diplomatic experience. But I cannot advise anyone to go into it while the Trumpian dictatorship is in power. You will be representing the orange tyrant, not the United States of America.

The rule of law is dying in the America. The orange dictatorship allows for no predictability, whether in the long run or for the next few moments. The economy is becoming uninvestable. The fiduciary responsibility of corporate boards requires they put their investments into saner markets.

It’s back to McKinley again for the orange tyrant. Our Führer is trying to treat all Asians just like the Chinese were treated back in the day.

My father was a judge on the 4th Circuit and dealt with many cases brought by the Eastern District of Virginia. His grave is uneasy tonight.

Implemented with the tyrant’s usual care for clarity and efficiency. It is a hit on immigration and institutions (tech and hospitals) that employ H-1B holders. It is also targeted against India and China, prime sources of H-1B workers. The orange one has active extortions in progress against both.

The orange tyrant gives up on Peace Prize. Returns focus to destroying free speech.

HCR is always good, but this is one of her very best. Has the orange tyrant turned up the heat too high?

The law is clear, the economics is clear, the international trade implications are clear. But I still expect that the orange tyrant’s captive justices will do as he dictates.

A core tenet of Trumpian decision making: When expertise and knowledge conflict with preconceived notions, fire the experts.

Planned or not, the orange tyrant is whittling down America’s allies. Not just countries like South Korea, but the dictator is alienating any company that might conceivably make a big investment in the United States. Even U.S. companies will hesitate to risk billions in Trump’s America.

The orange tyrant must have a new soulmate: the King of Thailand. Neither can stand to be criticized and they both revere gold ornamentation.

The Trumpian dictatorship may have irreparably damaged relations with a formerly close ally.

I listened to RFK, jr. and took his vaccine advice as seriously as it deserved. Then I went out and got the latest flu and Covid shots anyway.

U.S. cocaine prices have been cut nearly in half due to the orange tyrant’s decision to concentrate law enforcement on deporting law-abiding aliens. Is this the buffoon’s hidden plan to lower inflation?

House MAGAs seem to think it’s a good idea not to even talk politely to Dems about the budget. A Trumpian shutdown looms.

“MAGA Republicans have … outed themselves as dictatorial bullies.”

cato institute analysis of murders by political ideology since 1975, excluding 9/11

The Trump tyranny is so childishly petty.

“For people who don’t spend their time immersed in the fever swamps of conservative thought, Kirk was not exactly a household name, and it has to be fairly odd for the normies of the world to be bombarded by nonstop coverage of him.” I guess that makes me a normie. Gotta do something about that.

MAGA’s beatification of Charlie Kirk gathers steam. But he performed no miracles and much of what he did and said was, shall we say, devilish.

Here’s what the South Korean press is saying. The orange tyrant may have lost an important ally.

It’s too late now, Little Donald. You caused billions of dollars in damage to your own country by pulling your performative ICE stunt in Georgia. Why would any board of directors approve large investments in the United States under a tyrant’s satrapy? That includes the boards of American companies.

Trumpian tariffs aren’t all of this, of course, but the orange tyrant’s bludgeoning of world trade appears to be the biggest single factor.

The orange tyrant is turning the American military into murderers. I remember my oath, but that doesn’t seem to count for much under the heels of the Trump junta.

“U.S. accounts for 4% of the world’s population and 26% of global GDP. … going it alone would mean taking on 96% of humanity and 74% of Earth’s economic output. As Winston Churchill said, “There’s only one thing worse than fighting a war with allies, and that’s fighting a war without them.””

"Lesotho Sends Trade Delegation to US to Plead for Lower Tariffs" www.bloomberg.com/news/article... The country ranks 167th in gdp per capita (PPP); has 40% of its population living in poverty; and has 24-28% unemployment. Shameful stuff.

Our orange tyrant is such an overachiever.

How much has BlueSky lost? I recall deeper, civil discussions in my areas of expertise. Now, most of my new followers claim to be young women with improbable bust sizes, or from people claiming that their awful circumstances can be fixed if only I send them money. I don’t follow them back.

Well, now that it is known, we can expect ICE raids at Tesla plants. Or doesn’t ICE Barbie do Musk’s factories?

U.S. judges have the integrity to call Trumpian lies what they are: bald-faced lies! When will mainstream journalists and editors find the same integrity?

I served under five political appointee ambassadors. Three were good to excellent. Two were awful. One of those even refused to attend the State Department’s brief training for how to be an ambassador.

South Korean businesses have suspended at least 22 U.S. projects after an ICE raid on a Hyundai Motor factory site in Georgia detained hundreds of South Korean workers.Some 475 employees, including...

Epstein’s enablers begin to fall.

The orange tyrant has walled off one of the most important sources of reliable information on foreign affairs that any administration could have. The Foreign Service has been silenced because the tyrant fears they challenge his fantasies of how the world works.

“What’s with Russia violating Poland’s airspace with drones? Here we go!” What a weak response from the orange tyrant. He won’t stand up to his master.

But the orange tyrant told us that trade wars are easy to win.

Russia wants you to believe that 19 separate drone attacks on Poland were unintentional. If they are correct, then this is one of the biggest examples of malfeasance and incompetence in military history. Russia’s armed forces need to be stood down. They have proven themselves incapable of winning.

John Roberts seems to revel in his subservience to the orange tyrant.

Europeans appear to have a clear eyed view. The EU got taken by the orange extortionist.

2025.09.09 Trump’s delusions are at levels that nobody's ever seen before. One of Trumps very many "tells".

Trump's march toward authoritarianism is more like a sprint. Dems can't wait for the midterms. He needs to be stopped now.

HILARIOUS! DC resident blasts Star Wars sound ‘Imperial March’ while following the National Guard. Pretty clever.

It’s all cosplay.

A deep view of the big case against Trump’s “reciprocal” tariffs. With the lawyer leading the case against the orange tyrant.

Political litmus tests begin for American diplomats. They must demonstrate “fidelity” to the orange tyrant’s objectives.
