I don't see any off ramp though - you cannot trust a thing he says, or anything he signs

Yeah you’re not wrong. But it has to at least not be called just a delay or he can fuck off.

May need an outsider to start a new party. Clean break. Could be AOC but it's so tough for women to get elected I don't know.

*If elections matter

Scranton helped the US aid Ukraine. Now its role is uncertain

Scranton's ammunition plant makes weapons for Ukraine, and Zelensky paid it a visit last year.

I’m still kind of skeptical they’re gonna be getting free and fair elections going forward.

Best case is that elections happen but with GOP doing everything possible to disqualify dem voters. So will need a landslide victory to make it even close.

how can he keep cancelling the tarriffs when he says they're supposed to pay for everything?

i mean at least for now, the jobs reports always clearly identifies each sector's employment numbers.

i don't expect the jobs reports to actually be real for very much longer tho.

I'm shocked they are still real. Maybe the Dems really do control the levers!

There must be more to all this. Some of this must be deliberate in order to achieve some wacked long term vision, like maybe invading Mexico.

I dunno

never ever forget that these "run it like a business, run it with common sense" guys are absolutely incompetent.

It’s an easy choice to call off our countertariffs temporarily since all they do is add to the market uncertainty and increase costs for us.

On the other hand, fuck them.

It’s a delicate balance.

 

[MindzEye]

On the other hand, fuck them.

this gets my vote.
