Of course, it’s all about punishment. And self-enrichment. And anything but America.

Trump's tariffs are a distraction so that the corporate media doesn't cover the real threat - Elmo and the other muppets hijacking the government's computers. None of these assholes has the security clearance necessary to access the systems they are f'king around in and none of them has the faintest f'king idea what they are looking at. This is not some f'king game. This is real life. And these guys are surely going to fuck something up. Elmo and the boyz need to understand that no matter what he says, tRump and the MAGAs are not going to be in power forever and there is no statute of limitations on treason.

Woo hoo! You got that right, Peter! (Remember Muck saying that if Harris were to win he'd be fucked? That's exactly what he meant.)

It’s time the people of this country that do the work fight back.

And how nice of Donald to give us pain … although, as you say, he and Musk and his Billionaire Boys will feel nothing of the sort. “We feel your pain,” they tell us almost masking the contempt.

It's always pain on the "other people," but this time those people are everyone except the filthy rich. As usual. I'm expecting Muskrat fuckery with SS within a month or so. Maybe sooner.

Elon, Master of the Master Race, antisemite deluxe, advisor to Trump and AfD—will Usha Vance be the first to go?

I would really like to know what it's going to take to get Musk out of those offices. He should have been stopped - this country elected Trump, not him. I don't get why no one stopped him with any amount of force.

Just leave a trail of ketamine out the door. Once he's followed it far enough, lock him out.

Very well said and I totally agree with your analysis. USAID is America's marketing agency. Take it away and our competitors get an open field to take over. Tramp and the Muskrat don't give a damn about America, and that's what pisses me off. Congress and SCOTUS are terrified of MAGATS and their proven willingness to commit violent acts, harnessing the the anti-government motives of most Americans. Let's see how we like it when anarchy or fascism takes a strong hold.

Given the abuse the air traffic controllers have taken over the past few days, I'm surprised they haven't walked off the job en masse.

The real purpose of tariffs is to stop imports and, therefore, success is measured by low or no revenue. I doubt the orange idiot understands that.

Expand full comment

Yeah, really. But the tariffs are going to bring in so much money that we won't need income taxes anymore. Right.

Expand full comment

To hear Trump tell it … the real reason that income tax won’t be necessary is that won’t be a government to fund!

Expand full comment

Uh huh. Well let's see how that works out for him then.

What’s the end game of these narcissistic sociopaths Don’t they understand they still need the underclass to pick up the garbage cook their food and have a semblance of protection with military and police .We all need to band together massive strikes don’t bend the knee Gum

Up the works I tried to call my senators phone lines not working WTF???

When I email my worthless Senators and representatives, all I get back are platitudes if anything at all. (Hawley and Burleson). No surprise.

I filed a complaint with my state attorney general’s office regarding release of my confidential data to nongovernmental groups who have not passed security clearances. His office reported they’ve received many calls about this.

Yes!!!!

Gregg, do they have opponents for the next election yet? How about working on that? (Yes, I know that doesn't solve the immediate problems but if you want to do something, that might be an option.)

Do you think Putin will teach Trump the good ol open window trick to keep his oligarchs in line?

Expand full comment

Considering that his buddies on the Supreme Court have said it's okay for him to commit murder, I'd be careful about standing next to windows if I were one of his inner circle.

.... Besides the fact, theirs no explanation how taxing imported goods stops the flow of immigration & fentanyl. Maga just likes & accepts how it sounds. They think it's another victory in "owning the libs?" Try suggesting cracking down on the guns & ammo that make it across the border right into the cartels hands & you get pushback! Trump poo pooed that brilliant negotiation by President Sheinbaum!

Woo hoo, yes!!!!

Expand full comment

Sounds like he's going to fulfill his promise that he's going to "fix" it so that people won't need to vote anymore. He'll stay in power for the rest of his life if he doesn't outright hand the keys to Musk to complete the oligarchs' coup.

That is an excellent article. I hope a lot of people are reading it

I believe that the felon’s comments regarding making Canada the 51st state and invading Greenland and Panama are deflecting attention from the very serious actions by Musk to illegally access the federal payment system.

100% CORRECT!
