When will ppl accept that Krasnov is working to tear the country apart? Muskovite, too. JD is complicit. Pootin is betting on USA breakup just like USSR.

Hight taxes or Tariffs is how to weaken the American citizens, it is deplorable, but what doe Trump care he doesn't, you voted him in, and you we got played by him, He is ruining our image and the core values we held dearly.

A failing President! ''Need to Know''

So now, we find ourselves with an authoritarian president, a supine (failing to act as a result of moral weakness)

Congress, a Supreme Court of co-conspirators in the plot to rest power away from the American people and invest it in a despot, a would-be monarch who surrounds himself with the trappings of an Atlantic City version of Louis XIV. In our New Jersey neighborhood we described the style of those who embraced cheeseball grandeur as “Louis the Last” and it sums up the work Trump is doing to make the Oval Office look more like a bordello every day. That said, the bordello metaphor works as Trump is pimping out American virtue, selling that which we once held precious to the highest bidder.

Still, while the president and the GOP and the right wing on the Supreme Court are certain to do everything in their power to try keep Democrats from winning the elections in 2026 and 2028, the reality is that it is unlikely they will be able to do enough. It’s not impossible that they will succeed and Lord knows we need to be vigilant in that respect. But it seems likely that Democrats will have one more chance to reclaim power.

We are entering a time when Democrats will need to truly be new and also, in our view, truly be Democrats, fight for our values because they are what the country needs right now rather than more compromises, the MAGA-lite formulations of a new generation of political savants who say that in order to save the country from Trump we have to be willing to accept Trumpian ideas like immigration brutality or rejection of decent social programs as “communism” or “socialism.” It’s time for real change. Time for new new' Democrats. It’s time!

You had me at “a failing president”

Let’s all use that term every time we reference him; he who should not even warrant a name: The Failing President!

I just call him Connard a l’Orange (The Orange @$$hole) because it’s accurate and it fits him. He’s not the President because he doesn’t do the job of the President. Dude is a flaming pile of dogshit.

I am purposely boycotting Amazon. I hope others do the same to these billionaires!

I think a lot of people are boycotting Amazon as well as target. A lot of people intentionally made important purchases before the inauguration and are intentionally spending as little as they can to avoid participating in Trump‘s economy. In addition, there is a trend for us to stop being so consumeristic. I think we need to figure out how to have an economy that is not based on endless growth and exploitation of the planet.

The day he turned the Washington Post into a birdcage liner was the day it was over for me. I was never a “Prime” member. But Bozos BS also caused him to lose this subscriber to the Post. Bozos can’t fuck off enough.

Well, this is what you get when you put a failed businessman who is an idiot and dementia ridden into office who has no clue what whatsoever what tariffs actually are or do! Apparently experts for a long time have tried to explain to Trump exactly what a tariff is and how it works and he completely and totally ignores them or strikes out at them and calls them fake Experts! Because of course, Donald Trump thinks he is the smartest human being that has ever been produced on the face of the planet!

He will never admit anything and we need to continue to not buy anything that is not essential. when big business starts to loose more than they gain they might just see the light

He's not smart enough to figure out how to do that. I agree with Dean: it's all for TV.

The Failing President might not be smart enough on his own, but Putin probably has investigated how to collapse the US economy and is pulling Trump's strings. The idiot Failing President is only failing in our eyes. As far as Putin is concerned, Trump's achieving everything and more of what Putin wants - chaos in the (used to be) free world. Trump's either too dumb to see this or he's already sold his soul - probably did that a long time ago.

I’m pretty sure I saw disappointing employment numbers early last week, but they miraculously improved by the time the regime reported on them.

What happened to the trade court ruling that all these tariffs are illegal?

I feel like “other countries will pay the tariffs” sounds a lot like Mexico will build the wall. I don’t think so!

Dumped Amazon in January - don't miss it. Purchases limited to food/basics until the tariff nightmare is over.
