I know. Everything has already been said about tariffs. But here is one point that hasn't been stressed enough! Higher prices are not the economic cost of tariffs.

El Sereno/LA area. The dog sitters lost my dog a few hours ago and are still out looking for him. If you’re anywhere near this address please keep an eye out. It’s dark and there are a ton of coyotes in that area. Idk what the fuck to do bc I’m all the way in St. Louis

A key point. If a business doesn't know what the ROI is on a new plant or supply deal due to Trump playing 5D chess with taxes and tariffs, at the margin you just don't make the investment ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Def not. Last time, the uncertainty alone cut corporate investment by tens of billions of dollars.

Mythmaking is important after elections so we need to call it out Trump had Sinclair, Peter Thiel, Fox News, Newsmax, Uncommitted movement, The Intercept, Daily Wire and third party candidates CNN wouldn’t even factcheck Trump during a debate This is some serious revisionism

Kamala had CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and NYT. Trump had @X, @joeroganhq, some cat memes and a squirrel. Trump won. America found a new way to get information, and the democrats completely missed the boat. Time to catch up.

The Biden show was boring. They want the Trump show back. Americans can handle almost anything except boredom.

Trump isn't even President yet and look at the chaos. Alas. This is what American voters wanted.

The only remotely political message of Gladiator II is that emperors are bad and wealthy plutocrats who whisper in their ear are even worse…oh wait I see what he’s mad about

Can we stop pretending that elections are just a contest of who can push the economic populism button the hardest now.

Teamsters union members who voted for President-elect Donald Trump said it was "definitely social issues" -- like trans rights and immigration -- that made them support the seemingly anti-union candidate inquirer.com/politics/elect…

These Trump appointments are like a double-dog dare for security clearances. MAGA world thinks that's hilarious, because MAGA world has no idea what's involved with clearances and still thinks they're watching a TV show.

i genuinely love that best plan rightwingers can come up with for the future is to create the largest unemployment crisis since the great depression

Oh so. All the inflation controlling policies of the last two years have actually been working? Crazy

So now it’s cheaper, CNN?

It’s because we are the least susceptible to online disinformation

It really is amazing that Millennials are apparently the least right-wing of any age group, considering how consistently fucked over we've been.

Interesting timing, isn’t it? Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” rolls out a plan, and suddenly NASA’s future is on the chopping block—right as SpaceX stands to gain. This isn’t about efficiency; it’s about funneling public resources into private pockets.


The Jim Riley Reposted

There will be exactly 1 Trump appointee who is low-key really good at their job and ends up preventing a ton of harm despite appearing cartoonishly evil, but we don't get to know who it is going in, and it's not going to be the ones with populist bona fides

traumatized people will navigate emergency situations with calm surety but then have an anxiety attack in a grocery store


The Jim Riley Reposted

I think depression and anxiety could be partly cured by financial stability.

thoughts on mental health that would have you like this?

Every president comes in with a big plan to cut the budget and then they look at the budget and realize America is a nursing home with a military.

At some point relatively soon, you will begin to hear about your taxpayer dollars being used to pay for kids (of mostly well-off parents) to go to private and religious schools, draining funding for public schools. Mark it.

Trump says McMahon’s top priority will be pushing school vouchers
