Anyone who took an entity named after a meme coin and run by a 🤡 seriously shouldn’t be allowed to vote. He did the same thing to Twitter but the consequences are far less. People who are corrupt don’t trust others.

George W. Bush was a bad President and made some historically bad mistakes but it wasn't until he botched the response to Hurricane Katrina that the public's view of him truly soured. Trump is merrily walking through a minefield. It's only a matter of time until he steps on one.

"And frommmmm Chicaaaaaago, standing 6'1", 6'6" with the papal mitre, your starting pontiff, Rrrrrrobbbbberrrrtttt PREEEEEEEEVOOOOOOSSST!"

I hope he does it. It’ll put his narcissism on full display just as the effects of his insane trade war start to bite and it’ll expose DOGGIE for the fraud it is.

“Strategic uncertainty” is a euphemism for “impulsive moron.”

Stephen Miller is the most vile piece of shit ever to have his hands on the steering wheel of the U.S. government.

I think as a society we need to reckon with how Donald Trump and Elon Musk, two of the biggest conmen in all of history, have been able to fool so many people for so long despite ample evidence exposing them for what they truly are.

The U.S.won’t regain its standing in the world until the cancer known as MAGA is neutralized and marginalized in the body politic. Unfortunately, the only hope for that happening is for enough people who support it to feel real economic pain.

Yet the people who push abortion bans are almost always the same dumb mf’ers who are anti-vax. Here’s a deal. When a state gets the maternal mortality rate below the mortality rate of mRNA vaccines, they can pass whatever abortion restrictions they’d like as long as maternal mortality stays below.

Besides the insanity of tariffs “replacing” income taxes, it’s wild that no one calls out the absolute illogic of these fairytales. Tariff cannot replace taxes, bring manufacturing home AND be used as negotiating leverage to reduce trade barriers from other countries.

One of the benefits of the tariff debacle is that it creates immediate consequences for the incompetence and insidiousness of this Administration. So much of the terrible things they’re doing will only be felt over time.

The Trump Administration is a clown show. A recession is all but guaranteed and today’s willful blindness to what is really happening is how bear markets are made.

Trump may be President but the bond market is the real leader.

They are Shrodinger’s tariffs. They’ll simultaneously raise revenue while bringing manufacturing home while used to negotiate with every country in the world. These people are so used to their echo chamber they think everyone is as naive snd gullible as their supporters.

One of the reasons the practice of capitalism in this country is so broken is because the majority of people, including those in positions of power, don’t understand how it works. Trump’s policies are making capital unnecessarily more expensive which will ultimately diminish productive investment.

Trump has done the same damage to our health, environment and security as to our markets, it's just that there isn't a stock ticker that measures the impact so clearly

Americans have a tendency to conflate wealth with intelligence. We are now living with the consequences of this logical fallacy.

The Economist Op-Ed: "Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said - on history, economics and the technicalities of trade - was utterly deluded." 🔥

Turns out it’s *not* good to have stupid and malicious people in charge

Are elected Republicans finally about to pull their heads out from Trump’s ass? My belief has been they finally will when it becomes more painful to support him than to rebel against him. I think this insane tariff policy is finally changing that equation.

I had an epiphany today. The reason so much of the policy coming out of Washington these days is so bad is because the people who are making it engage in magical thinking, where they look at individual pieces of a complex system in isolation without recognizing how their…1/

Considering Trump is “fake” and “incredibly stupid” why should we expect anything else?

reading the White House CEA’s analysis of tax cut extension and laughing when they lament the “unthinkable consequences of a more than $4T tax hike on Americans” Brother, the call is coming from inside the house! >$4T tax hike was announced yesterday!

This is for all the “tuned in” people who can’t understand why more people are running around with their hair on fire about what’s going on in Washington. They don’t know, and many won’t believe it until it affects them. That day is getting closer.

NEW from me at MSNBC. Trump's tariffs are calamitous, incoherent, economically-illiterate, historically-illiterate, anti-worker, anti-consumer, anti-poor, prioritize enemies over allies, and will slam the economy, raise prices, and provide little budget savings. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

The difference between this Trump presidency and the Apprentice is no one is around to splice the tape to make Trump, or any of the actors, look smart.

If you were a halfway decent human being and you knew an innocent man was rotting in foreign prison—likely suffering nightmarish conditions—because your administration screwed up and send him there, you’d do something about it immediately instead of shitposting lies all day.

The U.S. spends 50%-100% more per capita on healthcare than every other OECD country and healthcare accounts for $2 trillion a year of spending. If we could reduce per capita costs by 25% there are trillions in savings to be had and smart policy could do this without reducing quality.

Trump is deporting people with legal status and no criminal convictions to foreign hellhole’s without due process. His idiot team is sharing classified attack plans on insecure channels and accidentally including a reporter. He’s pushing us toward a recession. He’s threatening to invade allies.

Any CEO who looked at Trump in 2024 and thought he’d govern more like Ronald Reagan than Hugo Chavez is too stupid to run anything larger than a lemonade stand

They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.

"When a clown moves into a palace, he does not become a king. The palace becomes a circus." - Turkish proverb

It brings me no pleasure to say this, but the individuals currently running the United States government are amongst the dumbest motherfuckers alive.

The only problem with this is crypto serves no purpose other than gambling or larceny. Granted, a few have gained enough critical mass to be permanent but crypto has no intrinsic value and blockchain is a solution looking for a problem.

Unfortunately for America, most of the red circles are liars and morons.

1. The DOGE website is garbage. The claimed savings has no relationship to the data provided. And the data that is provided grossly inflates the savings from each canceled contract. So we just launched our own site — the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker — that breaks everything down.

The Tesla Chainsaw Massacre

This is a false premise posited by ignorant simpletons. Manufacturing has changed, not been hollowed out, and technology has as much to do with it as trade. Lowering the cost of capital and fixing the broken healthcare system would be a better way to make domestic manufacturing more appealing.

You don’t need economic research to know this is true. It’s common sense.

Have you ever seen a parking garage where they put in a machine for you to pay for the ticket but they still need an attendant for when the machine doesn’t work? These idiots are firing the attendant while making the machine work worse.

But Trump is a “business man.” 🤡

The mistake all these Trump Administration people make is thinking everyone is as dumb and uninformed as Trump’s supporters.

I wonder if there's anyone close to the Administration who's in the robot business? More appropriate question: What do you get when you mix bad policy with vaporware?

Probably about 30% of the country will buy any BS Trump and Musk are selling, but a vast swath of people who voted for Trump did so based on the recollection of their lives prior to covid and equated that with Trump. They didn't sign up for this. Elected Republicans beware.

The current situation in the Federal government is untenable. The only question I have is how soon Republicans in Congress and the Senate become more afraid of their constituents than of Donald Trump about their political future.

I wonder how negative GDP will have to get before everyone figures out Elon Musk is on par with Wyle E. Coyote on the genius scale.

Pro-Life is a Lie. Small Government is a Lie. Law and Order is a Lie. Government Efficiency is a lie. Originalism is a Lie. They’re all lies. Today’s Republicans put the Con in both Conservatism and the Constitution.

If Republican congress people are afraid to go to their districts now, just wait until their constituents really start feeling the effects of the lunacy in Washington.
