Yes. This business shows that not only does Trump not understand tariffs or trade or economics, he doesn’t even grasp the basic purpose of money.

So RFK’s stance about not being antivax but wanting more transparency and information about vaccine safety was a lie after all. As soon as an expert engaged with him in a good faith attempt to meet these demands and give RFK all the information he said he wanted, he hid in his office while sending his goons to fire the guy. Clearly he was pissed that someone had called his bluff.

Yes, Americans have somehow come to believe that, among the things the USSR did, providing housing and education to ordinary people is bad, while disappearing people based on their political opinions to be killed or worked to death in gulags is good.

Line must go down.

But US industries will surely appear by magic, immediately and without any prior planning, to fill the gaps. All the government needs to do is make it incredibly painful for anyone to do business with anyone.

If they still want him as leader they’ll just arrange for him to have a seat in some safer riding.

Enola still sounds a bit woman-y. Maybe replace it with something manly like Donald.

He’s evidently working to destroy the USA and its alliances, which serves Russia’s interests. But it’s hard to know whether he’s doing so deliberately or unwittingly.

Oh, he’s getting people killed. Again.

They’re contrarians and conspiracists. They will go with whatever the established authorities recommend against.

I am astonished how vicious the hoi polloi is

Maybe if you weren’t consistently snooty and rude while promoting your scientific conspiracy theories, people would be more tolerant. But the theories still wouldn’t be good.

PP gets all his ideas from Republicans. Despite never having worked in any field but politics, and having decades to work on politics and politics alone, PP still can’t muster up one original idea, or even one positive proposal. He just glances next door and says, I’ll destroy what they’re destroying and hate what they’re hating.

Are fish in the sea wet? Or are things wet only when they have some water on them but not all of the water? So then do fish get wet the moment you take them out of the water?

UK was ahead of its time with Brexit and Liz Truss/Kwasi Kwarteng. Economic suicide is all the rage now.

I’ve seen Trumpers simply claiming that eggs are cheaper now. And I bet many of their followers don’t question it, even as they pay more for their eggs.

PP looks at the USA right now and thinks “Yep, that’s what I want for Canada.” Vote, and keep him away from power.

There’s another one behind him, underneath all the orange spray paint.

And taking the rest of us with them. Measles is popping up all over the place.

We’re not out of the woods yet.

Because someone has to pay them so they can make a living doing it, and the public are very reluctant to pay for news.
