Though, I mean, Bill Clinton would qualify too. Remember when we elected someone as President because he played a saxophone on Arsenio Hall... and then he balanced the budget? (Clinton, I mean, not Hall. I don't know how well Hall would do at the job, but he couldn't be worse than Trump.)
As long as Sammo Hung isn't Arsenio's running mate because that would result in Martial Law!

Pure-hearted Jesus-loving Christian JD Vance says "it's gross to get fired up" about the fact that an innocent man was deported and sent to a prison in El Salvador.


"He also apparently had multiple traffic violations for which he failed to appear in court. A real winner." Hear that, scofflaws? Pay off those parking tickets OR ELSE!

Mind you, the government has admitted that the deportation was an error. But hey, it's not JD Vance sitting in a jail cell for no reason, so why should anyone care?!

The wonderful new tariffs Trump just announced


And now we just have to wait for global markets to respond as the impact of America's new strength take hold.

I believe the cliche used to be "he's no angel". Parking tickets is a new one.

This is so, so stupid

Apparently that "trade barriers and currency manipulation" bullshit just means that they took the trade deficit as a percentage, and the reciprocal tarif is half that

So if we have a trade deficit with, say, Vietnam, where we import $10 of their stuff for every dollar they buy from us, that counts as a "tariff"

Hence the 46% tariff on everything they send us

That Switch 2 is gonna cost $700 next month

Where's Phoenix to tell us that the Trump tariffs aren't really going to happen and that everyone who believes in them is stupid?
