I truly believe your regulars mentally autocorrect in real time. I read it the way you intended! Don’t be hard on yourself for the rare mistake. You’re fighting the good fight for us and helping our sanity!
I confess that I couldn't stomach reading/watching the clips, but I was mightily appreciative of the many "sir"s that Jeff was able to insert in the imaginary ass-kissing ill douché will claim he's receiving.
I didn't notice. You know how the brain can read if only the first and last letter are printed? I think it's the same thing with this situation. "Don't sweat the small stuff!"
Don’t worry Jeff, most of your readers can actually tell when your posts include a typo, a grammatical error or heaven forbid, the wrong verb tense. All’s good.👍
Thank you Deborah. The use of “most have or most do” is a manner of speech. It imparts the notion of a large part of something, in this case society, without conducting a survey to identify and include a reliable sample of representative numbers of people who are included in a comment. If you have the time to do a survey on readers’ comments, be my guest.
Jeff, I always notice the Substance of what you say. The substance of what you are saying rings true with me. I am feeling like I need to get over feeling sorry about my own financial tanking and worry about the people who cannot feed their children or get necessary medicine.
I will be expressing my feelings about this tomorrow by joining the world of Americans who do not like what is going on with Hands Off. I will be going to express this in Berlin.
There will be Hands Off rallies in countries around the world. Here are the ones posted on the Democrats Abroad website. Please share this with friends in other countries.
No Italy, no Milan? My "uncle" Tom Fina ran DemsAbroad there for many years. He and his wife were two of the three attendees at my parents' marriage at the Harvard Chapel in 1948.
Most economists and some allies? That’s more like 99% economists which is virtually all. And some allies? Which allies aren’t alarmed by president dementia ridden crazy pants?
The azzhole in chief just cancelled the deliveries a bazillion pounds of food to the food banks here in northern nevada. They do not care. Melanie’s jacket should be the uniform for these fuckwits.
That’s the part that made me cry. Young people coming home in body bags from serving their country and that asshole doesn’t give a shit. Wonder if I can fit all that on a sign
My God.....not attending homecoming of fallen soldiers?? If Obama or Biden went golfing instead of attending, the right wing would rip a hole in the ozone layer with their deafening weeek long screams 😱.....I've heard not a peep about his absence in the media.
Those idiots on FAUX News would have had a stroke in anxious anticipation of screaming their lungs out if Biden did half the shit ASSMOUTHPANTLOAD did.
The bag of elephant shit met warmly with a high level Russian ambassador in the Oval Office and the fucking Saudis at the LIV Golf Tournament instead of attending the transfer of fallen warriors. Not even war-loving Kegbreath showed up on the tarmac. Cowards and traitors.
I am so proud of my dad. He was a retired Navy captain who voted R all his life. But unlike the rest of the numbnuts in the military who think waving a big flag makes you a patriot, he was able to see Trump for the asshole he is. He died at 91 in 2023 and he didn’t vote for Trump!
Once again, he disrespects fallen soldiers, chooses to destroy the global economy and says everything is great as he plays golf with the sawing Saudis. And you get other ass kissing dipshits like Rubio who was just on our local news flapping his lying, orange stained lips like everything is fucking groovy. WTF! There has never been a time when such a destructive clueless president needs to be kicked to the curb. Hoping tomorrow goes well across the country. Have a good weekend everyone.
The worst thing about Howard Lutnick' heartless responses is that he should be bowing down & thanking whatever gods there are that he's still alive!
On Sept 11, 2001, American Airlines flight 175 crashed into 2 World Trade Center, & all 658 employees of Cantorfitzgerald, where Lutnick was President, were killed, including his brother Gary! The only reason Howard Lutnick wasn't in the office that day is because he had taken his son to Kindergarten.
Most of us, having survived that fiery death, would have made a promise to live a better life in service to our fellow man. But no - Howard gets his jollies from mocking seniors who depend on Social Security. So much for learning life's lessons.
This is the plan: Destroy America and reboot it as an autocracy for the benefit of tech billionaires. This is not a conspiracy theory, it is Curtis Yarvin's plan. Musk has spoken glowingly of Yarvin and parroted his ideas. So has Peter Thiel who groomed JD Vance for VP. It comes across as crazy talk, but they are deadly serious about destroying everything we love about this nation.
They are irrelevant in this. The goal is to destroy the nation as we know it, including all of its institutions. The tariffs and resulting crash of the stock market is all part of it.
Hey, don’t you get it, golf with fucking rich buddies is monumentally more important to agent orange than honoring suckers and losers, ie, those who put their lives in danger for our democracy🤬 I can’t wait until Satan greets that bastard at the gates of hell🤨
You are giving them way too much credit Susan. Lying is as natural as breathing for them, plans actually require a brain to think it through….I don’t see any active brains in any of these shit heads.
I thought that probably made their deaths less "tragic" for Trump. You would think, however, that Vance, who is probably too declassee for Saudi royalty, would have at least made an appearance. I guess they really don't care about the optics.
There's one in Grove City in front of city hall. They only gave them a one hour permit.(4-5) I expect the flag waving Nazis to make an appearance. (They marched through town twice last year with their swastika flags, no permit required 🙄😡🤬). That would put me in a poor frame of mind and leave me most agrieved
I would love it -- LOVE IT -- if just once, after one of his blathering nonsense answers during a presser, if a reporter would ask, "Mr President, what the fuck are you talking about?"
I am absolutely flummoxed ... In my 70 years on this Earth, I have never watched a president deliberately tank the economy and destroy the government. This is an act of war and treason against the American People. He needs to be impeached, convicted and removed to one of his golf motels to be hanged.
I’m just about 80. So let me add my 10 year advantage: Nothing compares to the unfolding tragedy Trump is inflicting on us. Everything we grew up with from the FDIC to our global economy came from the hard lessons of world wars and Depression. It came from the robber barons. It came from the depredations inflicted on Blacks well into the 20th century. And Trump is unwinding it all and for what? Frankly only one argument seems consistent, he’s a Russian agent (no, I don’t have evidence).
It came from the struggle of women to get the right to vote, to be treated as individuals and not as an appendage of a man, to be regarded as equals. And we are STILL fighting for equality 🤨 Adds this 73 yr old female.
The evidence is plain to see, David. He put tariffs on every country but Russia. What else is necessary. If it wasn’t for a 💯 percent population of domestic terrorists cosplaying as Republicons, ASSMOUTHPANTLOAD would have been impeached already.
An act of war on the entire globe! I know it would be terrible for Americans, but I really hope that other countries throw reciprocal tariffs at the U.S., instead of trying to negotiate with him. He wants and expects them to come crawling to him for relief, and they shouldn't oblige.
It doesn't look like other countries are going to take his shit & I say, good, too! His delusions of his own importance needs to be corrected. It's not the U.S.'s role to "rule" the world & it sure AF is not his. How dare he desecrate our honor like this? I don't care what the price is, I didn't live my life doing the right thing to be degraded like this, & all those who have went before will not have died in vain if we have anything to say about it. And, we do, we sure do.
Ask any of us way over working all our lives what is our appetite for risk.
It is risky getting up in the morning. What the fuck will they do to make our lives miserable today?
Trump may be out to destroy America and the American people but what he is doing to end elections and our right to vote is what is dangerous. He wants to grind us to dust from now on. Are any of you willing to put up with that? Not me.
I’ve said it before and will again, the pain now for gain later is trickledown economics by another name. It was used to con the electorate and into believing that the if you give your money to the wealthiest members of society they, in the spirit of giving, will invest that money and eventually, make you rich. Now, instead of convincing you to hand over your money they will just take from you, with the promise that, trust them, all will be well. I find it hard to believe that people would buy the same sack of dung again. It was a scam when Reagan sold it decades ago and it’s still the same fraud today.
The uneducated, the gullible and the stupid are the lifeblood of the Republican Party. Americans can do better.
The 'trickle down' scam was the biggest con ever perpetrated on Americans ...by Reagan. And just a few years ago I hear that a congressional report? is published that said that 'trickle down' didn't work to help middle class 😅🤣😂....And I'm thinking, IS THIS an Onion article?? Of course it didn't work....it was a scam that successfully transferred wealth from middle class to the wealthy! And here we are.
What you've described perfectly is neo-feudalism. The wage slaves and real estate serfs will get to keep a fraction of their earnings without receiving any social benefits. Infrastructure will be neglected and the environment will be blackened. Compliance will be rewarded only with punishment by the overlords momentarily withheld.
Every single American who isn't a billionaire should be absolutely enraged and want to throw a brick through their TV every time Howie the Lut Nut lies or says something so out of touch. That his mother-in-law "wouldn't mind if she missed a Social Security payment" crack is beyond insulting to nearly all who actually rely on SS. Fuck you, Lutnick. If this was 18th century France, you would lose your head for that.
Economics wasn’t on my college curriculum, please bear with me. I read that when the market crashes, the wealthy will charge in like hungry barracudas and buy, buy, buy. And, of course, when the market recuperates, viola, yet more riches for the wealthy. (Yeah, I know. DUH)
I feel that everyone in agent orange’s fucking administration and all those rapacious fuckheads cheering the stable genius’ economic chaos should be prohibited from capitalizing on the market.
These Republican soulless ratfucks have been allowing for-profit corporation CEO’s for 3-4 decades now to rape and pillage the free cash flows of their own corporations via share buy-backs. Now the enablers of those hopefully bound-straight-for-hell CEO’s (and their boards and people-in-charge teams) are doing the same thing right in our fucking faces:
• Orange Hitler crashes the market
• Howard Nutlick and Steve “Bent-Over” Bessent fucking watch with their thumbs up their asses
• The MAGA oligarch vultures buy low
• The MAGA oligarch vultures sell high
• we exit our retirement and go back to work because these unconscionable motherfuckers have robbed our 401ks and stock valuations in broad daylight
• Orange Hitler goes golfing for 3 or 4 days
• Return to ruination on Monday: these motherfuckers repeat, rinse on Faux News, and fuck the workerbees all over again.
If we are friends of China, let’s do what the CCP does - line them up against a wall & end their miserable, satanic thievery.
Chris Cuomo directed us to the app QuiverQuantum to track the who, what the various legislators are buying/selling during this historic manufactured economic crisis. Check it out. Sickening.
Agree. In a perfect world, all human beings would possess a working moral compass, along with empathy, tolerance, kindness, and a sense of fairness. Homo sapiens is not a good representation of the best a sentient, cognitive species can be
The 25th would never be invoked as a means of switching parties in power, because Cabinet members would never cede power to the opposing political party. However it is conceivable that it could applied to remove a madman of their own party who is directing a trainwreck, in favor of someone they consider to be relatively sane.
I read enough history to know how both usurpers and rightful heirs have disappeared those who stood in their way. It ain't pretty, but when there's no legal alternative . . . ? It's pretty damn scary. I wonder if the Republicans know what they're playing with. They should, because it's their allies who've been flirting with violence and threats of violence for years.
He is undeniably a fucking moron. Sadly, he is in the position to fuck over the entire world economy because there are enough other fucking morons in America who put him there.
I don't think he is a moron as he is being so successful in destroying this country while we watch the quick burn without even so much as a garden hose. I have growing angst as taxes are due soon and I don't want to write a check to these liars and cheats to spend on known Ponzi schemes and against my fellow Americans.
This one particularly resonates with me because the media this week has been flooded with Republicans doing talking head interviews acknowledging there will be pain, but we'll come out stronger.
But not for any of them, of course. They're all wealthy overpaid congressmen who have no idea what the working class is going through.
And if you think I'm exaggerating, look up the video of the federal employee who got laid off, confronted his congressman and asked why he had to lose his job and was told by said congressman on camera "You probably deserved it . You seem like a clown."
Understand this, folks: The Republicans are now at a point where they no longer care what their constituents think . They're insulting voters to their faces and refusing to do town halls. And when they do decide to show up for a town hall, they end up criticizing the audience for complaining and asking hard questions.
Now, do the mental legwork: Who blatantly and openly gives a middle finger to their voting base and tells them they're okay with those same struggling voters suffering economic hardship so they can pass their agenda?
I'll tell you: People who are not worried about elections. That's what we all need to be paying close attention to, because Trump and the Republicans are revealing that they have no concerns about being voted out. That very likely means they are already aware of a plan to challenge the mid term results as being fraudulent and have Trump throw them out if they don't win and then do the same for the next Presidential election .
Add to that the open push to change the rules so Trump can have a third term, and the very real, very RED flags of an intended fascist dictatorship installing itself in power are right there on display.
What happened in Wisconsin was amazing, but it's not enough to stop this unless we prepare to fight. March, protest, vote against them , don't do business with any company that aligns with them. Form entire communities of resistance online and in person.
Because right now, there's no actual governing. They're just tearing everything down to remake America in Trump's image and it won't matter what your sex race or religion is when that happens, because if you're not with them, at that point the gun wielding thugs in body armor and jackboots will be showing up at your own door. Count on it
There are 340 million people living in the united states and not one person, let alone a team of people is trying to stop him. Inmate P01135809 needs to be stopped.
Cory Booker and the Dems that supported his message without teleprompters during his marathon speaking on the Senate floor certainly made a historical try. Where are the others that stay quiet?
This fiasco is Groundhog Day in steroids as it happened during Trump's first term and the foolish Republicans and Independents showed amnesia by electing him again. When will these people learn? Yet we 49% voters for Harris must pay the steep price.
What's so infuriating is that during the lead-up to the election, we all predicted this would happen. I doubt any of us realized it would be this bad and at a lightning pace. I'm taking a small modicum of hope in the fact that Sen Chuck Grassley (!!) has co-sponsored a bill to take the tariff power back from the Convicted Felon.
Well, some believe, perhaps too optimistically, that the Rs are terrified that the oligarchs won't be able to pull this off, so the Grand Orc Party is moving as quickly as possible to keep things going their way and to increase their own personal wealth and power. The chaos and fear/uncertainty/doubt (FUD) are definitely working in their favor right now. Good luck tomorrow, protesters! (International "Hands Off" protest on April 5th)
You're right, Deborah, which continues to prove that the Republican party doesnt give a tinkers damn about their constituents or Americans in general. They are cruel and dishonest.
Retrumplicans never have and never will give a fuck about anyone or anything but their greedy selves. The price we pay for this selfish government will be painful for the majority of us. So, tomorrow do what one can to #RESIST !
Sadly even though they will lose big time, I doubt they’ll ever feel the pain most of us in the real world will feel. I happen to have a rather wealthy friend who isn’t even concerned that he lost $19K in the stock market yesterday. Meanwhile I’m terrified to even look at what this sadistic game playing is doing to my pathetic 401K. 🫣
I am fucking tired of ‘there will be temporary hardships’ bullshit🤬 As you said, D.S., the bastards who say this will never suffer hardship; they haven’t a clue what it’s like to live from paycheck to paycheck. Fuck them all to hell 🤬🤬🤬🤬
that last line should be "WILL lose bigtime" ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH
oh well it's only wrong on 176,000 emails
I truly believe your regulars mentally autocorrect in real time. I read it the way you intended! Don’t be hard on yourself for the rare mistake. You’re fighting the good fight for us and helping our sanity!
I agree with Matt and Susan. We don’t care about small mistakes. We love your posts!!!
this Gina also
>We don’t care about small mistakes"
I care, and so does Jeff T. That's why he acknowledges, and corrects, them.
Well, it's a smaller mistake than putting tariffs on an island inhabited only by penguins.
😄😂
🙄 Got it. I have officially removed you from the “we.”
People are saying. Many people are saying.
What Matt & Gina said. It could be worse. Just ask Hank Tough
I confess that I couldn't stomach reading/watching the clips, but I was mightily appreciative of the many "sir"s that Jeff was able to insert in the imaginary ass-kissing ill douché will claim he's receiving.
True! I read it exactly right!
I certainly did!🤔
Totally read past any typos. It’s the content that counts and keeps us all sane in these insane times.
Typos hate me.
A typo and a word choice are not the same thing.
Thise ari tipos.
Exactly!
We know what you meant.
I didn't notice. You know how the brain can read if only the first and last letter are printed? I think it's the same thing with this situation. "Don't sweat the small stuff!"
Didn’t even notice.
Thank you for doing the shit work of watching Faux News and listening to what these clowns say so that we don’t have to suffer through that.
HA!
No one cares... 😂😂 We love ya!
Don’t worry Jeff, most of your readers can actually tell when your posts include a typo, a grammatical error or heaven forbid, the wrong verb tense. All’s good.👍
A dyslexic, a typo, and an autocorrect wanked into a bra...
😂😂
And all of Jeff’s readers can and do read.
Thank you Deborah. The use of “most have or most do” is a manner of speech. It imparts the notion of a large part of something, in this case society, without conducting a survey to identify and include a reliable sample of representative numbers of people who are included in a comment. If you have the time to do a survey on readers’ comments, be my guest.
Ooopsie - you’re catering.
I was just starting to voice my one over-arching reaction to all this -- Arrrrrggghhhh! -- when I saw that you'd beat me to it.
Yup. That pretty much says it all.
Jeff, I always notice the Substance of what you say. The substance of what you are saying rings true with me. I am feeling like I need to get over feeling sorry about my own financial tanking and worry about the people who cannot feed their children or get necessary medicine.

There might be. A lot of people have not registered their events with Democrats Abroad. I looked it up and apparently they do have an event.

If I was worried about your grammar I wouldn’t be subscribed.
You’re human after all!
I just listened through Jerome Powell's interview over the tariffs, and how they are going to work, and affect the economy, Jeff. Its not pretty. I tossed it into our growing daily roundup. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/friday-roundup-from-russia-with-love
I just pray that my fiancée and I can keep our jobs. This is disastrous! Holy fuck!
Didn’t even notice and I’m a stickler for proper grammar.
Always enjoy your commentaries- always on point… and served with a bit of spice-lol
Thank you for all you do to keep us sane and laughing.
Chrystal Lee
We autocorre t. Oops correct.
So their plan to just lie and lie some more. 🤦♀️
And it's a fucking disgrace that he isnt meeting the arrival of our fallen. How does ANYONE continue to support this POS???
See everyone at the protest tomorrow!💙✌️
That’s the part that made me cry. Young people coming home in body bags from serving their country and that asshole doesn’t give a shit. Wonder if I can fit all that on a sign
My God.....not attending homecoming of fallen soldiers?? If Obama or Biden went golfing instead of attending, the right wing would rip a hole in the ozone layer with their deafening weeek long screams 😱.....I've heard not a peep about his absence in the media.
This is key: not a peep about Dear Leader golfing again while the markets and world is reeling from yesterday’s erratic crazy.
Fiddling while Rome burns.
Those idiots on FAUX News would have had a stroke in anxious anticipation of screaming their lungs out if Biden did half the shit ASSMOUTHPANTLOAD did.
I did see this mentioned on MSNBC—that Dumbass was at Merde de Lardo for golf instead of meeting the four fallen soldiers.
The bag of elephant shit met warmly with a high level Russian ambassador in the Oval Office and the fucking Saudis at the LIV Golf Tournament instead of attending the transfer of fallen warriors. Not even war-loving Kegbreath showed up on the tarmac. Cowards and traitors.
I am so proud of my dad. He was a retired Navy captain who voted R all his life. But unlike the rest of the numbnuts in the military who think waving a big flag makes you a patriot, he was able to see Trump for the asshole he is. He died at 91 in 2023 and he didn’t vote for Trump!
Sharon, there is no reason to demean elephant feces.
True. But the ultimate insult to the elephant is using it as a symbol of the GOP. The elephant's shit would be more appropriate.
Good point
They're stuffing " elite athletes " feces into mice, sometimes science is WEIRD.
I call him Whiskey Pete in honor of the Stateline, Nevada casino.
Unfortunately Whiskey Petes is no more 😕 My friend & I had great times there.
The Golden Spur restaurant was excellent.
I recall a saying, " The operation was a success, but the patient died ".
Perfectly said Sharon!!
Try scum of the earth!! 😠😠
Once again, he disrespects fallen soldiers, chooses to destroy the global economy and says everything is great as he plays golf with the sawing Saudis. And you get other ass kissing dipshits like Rubio who was just on our local news flapping his lying, orange stained lips like everything is fucking groovy. WTF! There has never been a time when such a destructive clueless president needs to be kicked to the curb. Hoping tomorrow goes well across the country. Have a good weekend everyone.
I didn’t hear about it where did they fight?
Lithuania—died during training
Thanks.

Thank you.
At this moment I am thinking about the 4 Service MEN who lost their lives in Lithuania. They served to protect us from a RUSSIAN THREAT.
They have families who lost them, AMERICA has lost them . These fellas deserve our RESPECT & LOVE.
This Vietnam Veteran agrees.
Thus the posters I’m making today for the HANDS OFF protest!!!! Fucking disgrace!!!!
Excellent Tess!!
Do they not care either?
"they"? You mean anyone in this administration? No, I dont think they do.
Nope.😡😡🤬
Jeff is brilliant, referring to Lutnick, “. . .it’s been at least twelve hours since he’s said anything heartlessly out of touch.”
The worst thing about Howard Lutnick' heartless responses is that he should be bowing down & thanking whatever gods there are that he's still alive!
On Sept 11, 2001, American Airlines flight 175 crashed into 2 World Trade Center, & all 658 employees of Cantorfitzgerald, where Lutnick was President, were killed, including his brother Gary! The only reason Howard Lutnick wasn't in the office that day is because he had taken his son to Kindergarten.
Most of us, having survived that fiery death, would have made a promise to live a better life in service to our fellow man. But no - Howard gets his jollies from mocking seniors who depend on Social Security. So much for learning life's lessons.
And those of us in California remember watching that.
One of his earliest post 9/11 actions was to cut off paychecks to the widows of his employees, even before their deaths were confirmed.
Nutlick praises Dear Leader: https://youtu.be/CFVqxmZ_TSw
Excellent renaming of Howard. Perfecto!
Stealing the new name for Howard.
During these terrible decades of broken economy which Trump will finally fix, Lutnick became a billionaire. I'm not sure what he's complaining about.
THEY DO NOT CARE BECAUSE THEY ARE IN SOME WEIRD ORANGE TURD CULT AND FOLLOW EVERYTHING HE SAYS!
Confronting them is the best; because they can not validate their reasoning
No, they are going along to enrich themselves
None of the billionaires, nor GOP members give a rats ass Ellen
This is the plan: Destroy America and reboot it as an autocracy for the benefit of tech billionaires. This is not a conspiracy theory, it is Curtis Yarvin's plan. Musk has spoken glowingly of Yarvin and parroted his ideas. So has Peter Thiel who groomed JD Vance for VP. It comes across as crazy talk, but they are deadly serious about destroying everything we love about this nation.
If the majority on the Supreme Court agree we are goners.
They are irrelevant in this. The goal is to destroy the nation as we know it, including all of its institutions. The tariffs and resulting crash of the stock market is all part of it.

I am too! Check out the map, so so so many protests! WOOHOO
Have fun and stay safe, Jeanne! I'm signed up for one at noon and another at 4pm. Can't wait.
Be safe tomorrow people, no violence! Being arrested for airing facts with loud voices is a badge of honor…sayin’!!
That is up to the enemy.
Are we being set up for ‘martial law’? Srsly asking for a friend… otherwise why so obv pushing buttons? Gotta be it
You are giving them way too much credit Susan. Lying is as natural as breathing for them, plans actually require a brain to think it through….I don’t see any active brains in any of these shit heads.
Maybe the last names of three of the soldiers is a clue. Just sayin . . .
I thought that probably made their deaths less "tragic" for Trump. You would think, however, that Vance, who is probably too declassee for Saudi royalty, would have at least made an appearance. I guess they really don't care about the optics.
Like the price of eggs has gone down.
There's one in Grove City in front of city hall. They only gave them a one hour permit.(4-5) I expect the flag waving Nazis to make an appearance. (They marched through town twice last year with their swastika flags, no permit required 🙄😡🤬). That would put me in a poor frame of mind and leave me most agrieved
Thanks Susan for zeroing in on the most important thing.
I would love it -- LOVE IT -- if just once, after one of his blathering nonsense answers during a presser, if a reporter would ask, "Mr President, what the fuck are you talking about?"
Or "Could you translate that into English, please?"
What... and lose their precious access?
Or go into attack mode like they did with Joe…
Need an Acosta for him!
Just as good if the f-word were replaced with, for example, “in God’s name.”
Or maybe use both?
Or even "For the love of all that's holy, what are you talking about?"
Although many of us would prefer much harsher language Alison, I love the sentiment!!
Agreed. But they would be removed immediately.
That someone was brave enough ☹️
I am absolutely flummoxed ... In my 70 years on this Earth, I have never watched a president deliberately tank the economy and destroy the government. This is an act of war and treason against the American People. He needs to be impeached, convicted and removed to one of his golf motels to be hanged.
I’m just about 80. So let me add my 10 year advantage: Nothing compares to the unfolding tragedy Trump is inflicting on us. Everything we grew up with from the FDIC to our global economy came from the hard lessons of world wars and Depression. It came from the robber barons. It came from the depredations inflicted on Blacks well into the 20th century. And Trump is unwinding it all and for what? Frankly only one argument seems consistent, he’s a Russian agent (no, I don’t have evidence).
It came from the struggle of women to get the right to vote, to be treated as individuals and not as an appendage of a man, to be regarded as equals. And we are STILL fighting for equality 🤨 Adds this 73 yr old female.
The evidence is plain to see, David. He put tariffs on every country but Russia. What else is necessary. If it wasn’t for a 💯 percent population of domestic terrorists cosplaying as Republicons, ASSMOUTHPANTLOAD would have been impeached already.
Putin’s puppet implementing his playbook…
An act of war on the entire globe! I know it would be terrible for Americans, but I really hope that other countries throw reciprocal tariffs at the U.S., instead of trying to negotiate with him. He wants and expects them to come crawling to him for relief, and they shouldn't oblige.
It doesn't look like other countries are going to take his shit & I say, good, too! His delusions of his own importance needs to be corrected. It's not the U.S.'s role to "rule" the world & it sure AF is not his. How dare he desecrate our honor like this? I don't care what the price is, I didn't live my life doing the right thing to be degraded like this, & all those who have went before will not have died in vain if we have anything to say about it. And, we do, we sure do.
America must be punished for rejecting him in 2020 even though he really won the election.
1. How can a jobs report be good when DOGE has fired tens of thousands of workers? It’s magic(al thinking!)
2. All Howard is good for is Nut Licking Donny’s sad sac. Apologies for the ugly visual.
The DOGE firings have not shown up yet. Technically they won't be counted until the severance payments run out.
They’ll lie about it either way.
No apologies needed. It's spot on.
Hence the new name Howard Nutlick. (coined by an earlier poster)
Ask any of us way over working all our lives what is our appetite for risk.
It is risky getting up in the morning. What the fuck will they do to make our lives miserable today?
Trump may be out to destroy America and the American people but what he is doing to end elections and our right to vote is what is dangerous. He wants to grind us to dust from now on. Are any of you willing to put up with that? Not me.
Couldn't have said it better.
I’ve said it before and will again, the pain now for gain later is trickledown economics by another name. It was used to con the electorate and into believing that the if you give your money to the wealthiest members of society they, in the spirit of giving, will invest that money and eventually, make you rich. Now, instead of convincing you to hand over your money they will just take from you, with the promise that, trust them, all will be well. I find it hard to believe that people would buy the same sack of dung again. It was a scam when Reagan sold it decades ago and it’s still the same fraud today.
The uneducated, the gullible and the stupid are the lifeblood of the Republican Party. Americans can do better.
The 'trickle down' scam was the biggest con ever perpetrated on Americans ...by Reagan. And just a few years ago I hear that a congressional report? is published that said that 'trickle down' didn't work to help middle class 😅🤣😂....And I'm thinking, IS THIS an Onion article?? Of course it didn't work....it was a scam that successfully transferred wealth from middle class to the wealthy! And here we are.
What you've described perfectly is neo-feudalism. The wage slaves and real estate serfs will get to keep a fraction of their earnings without receiving any social benefits. Infrastructure will be neglected and the environment will be blackened. Compliance will be rewarded only with punishment by the overlords momentarily withheld.
"Americans can do better." Assumes facts not in evidence.
Well, David, apparently millions of Americans did not do better. Wtf? What is that awful pathology in the American psyche?
Every single American who isn't a billionaire should be absolutely enraged and want to throw a brick through their TV every time Howie the Lut Nut lies or says something so out of touch. That his mother-in-law "wouldn't mind if she missed a Social Security payment" crack is beyond insulting to nearly all who actually rely on SS. Fuck you, Lutnick. If this was 18th century France, you would lose your head for that.
Can we start doing that guillotine thingy here, please? off with their heads !
Yes, don't we have some metalworkers who can make some? We'll need several for DC, and probably one each for red states.
I'm up for a Purge with class 4 and above allowed.
Economics wasn’t on my college curriculum, please bear with me. I read that when the market crashes, the wealthy will charge in like hungry barracudas and buy, buy, buy. And, of course, when the market recuperates, viola, yet more riches for the wealthy. (Yeah, I know. DUH)
I feel that everyone in agent orange’s fucking administration and all those rapacious fuckheads cheering the stable genius’ economic chaos should be prohibited from capitalizing on the market.
These Republican soulless ratfucks have been allowing for-profit corporation CEO’s for 3-4 decades now to rape and pillage the free cash flows of their own corporations via share buy-backs. Now the enablers of those hopefully bound-straight-for-hell CEO’s (and their boards and people-in-charge teams) are doing the same thing right in our fucking faces:
• Orange Hitler crashes the market
• Howard Nutlick and Steve “Bent-Over” Bessent fucking watch with their thumbs up their asses
• The MAGA oligarch vultures buy low
• The MAGA oligarch vultures sell high
• we exit our retirement and go back to work because these unconscionable motherfuckers have robbed our 401ks and stock valuations in broad daylight
• Orange Hitler goes golfing for 3 or 4 days
• Return to ruination on Monday: these motherfuckers repeat, rinse on Faux News, and fuck the workerbees all over again.
If we are friends of China, let’s do what the CCP does - line them up against a wall & end their miserable, satanic thievery.
Wish I could elucidate the chaos as well as you🤓
😂😂😂”Nutlick”
Chris Cuomo directed us to the app QuiverQuantum to track the who, what the various legislators are buying/selling during this historic manufactured economic crisis. Check it out. Sickening.

Sounds like a must read. Thanks!
In a perfect world, billionaires should also be enraged. All moral people should be.
Agree. In a perfect world, all human beings would possess a working moral compass, along with empathy, tolerance, kindness, and a sense of fairness. Homo sapiens is not a good representation of the best a sentient, cognitive species can be
How many $ billions are tRump’s Cabinet members losing?
25th Amenendment, anyone?
None. They were probably well aware of the timing of tRump’s announcement & sold their stocks. Now they can buy them back at much lower prices
Thank you! I've given up explaining to people how impeachment and the 25th work and why they are non-starters in the present moment.
The 25th would never be invoked as a means of switching parties in power, because Cabinet members would never cede power to the opposing political party. However it is conceivable that it could applied to remove a madman of their own party who is directing a trainwreck, in favor of someone they consider to be relatively sane.
Well, there are 18 of his stupid and heartless assholes in line behind him, so the 25th isn't an option for saving us.
To repeat my fondest dream:
Someone brings a beautifully wrapped gift to a cabinet meeting (ketamine klansman, of course, present). I believe you know how my dream ends 🤓
I read enough history to know how both usurpers and rightful heirs have disappeared those who stood in their way. It ain't pretty, but when there's no legal alternative . . . ? It's pretty damn scary. I wonder if the Republicans know what they're playing with. They should, because it's their allies who've been flirting with violence and threats of violence for years.
Would trading genuine Russian assets (I think Justadick would do whatever Putin asked for the power) for a theocratist be a good deal?
Confusing for sure! The 25th is the reason for impeachment.
Not sure what you mean here. Impeachment is in the original Constitution. The 25th Amendment wasn't ratified till February 1967.
He is undeniably a fucking moron. Sadly, he is in the position to fuck over the entire world economy because there are enough other fucking morons in America who put him there.
I don't think he is a moron as he is being so successful in destroying this country while we watch the quick burn without even so much as a garden hose. I have growing angst as taxes are due soon and I don't want to write a check to these liars and cheats to spend on known Ponzi schemes and against my fellow Americans.
Pay your taxes. This is not the year to die on that hill. They might send you to Salvador.
This one particularly resonates with me because the media this week has been flooded with Republicans doing talking head interviews acknowledging there will be pain, but we'll come out stronger.
But not for any of them, of course. They're all wealthy overpaid congressmen who have no idea what the working class is going through.
And if you think I'm exaggerating, look up the video of the federal employee who got laid off, confronted his congressman and asked why he had to lose his job and was told by said congressman on camera "You probably deserved it . You seem like a clown."
Understand this, folks: The Republicans are now at a point where they no longer care what their constituents think . They're insulting voters to their faces and refusing to do town halls. And when they do decide to show up for a town hall, they end up criticizing the audience for complaining and asking hard questions.
Now, do the mental legwork: Who blatantly and openly gives a middle finger to their voting base and tells them they're okay with those same struggling voters suffering economic hardship so they can pass their agenda?
I'll tell you: People who are not worried about elections. That's what we all need to be paying close attention to, because Trump and the Republicans are revealing that they have no concerns about being voted out. That very likely means they are already aware of a plan to challenge the mid term results as being fraudulent and have Trump throw them out if they don't win and then do the same for the next Presidential election .
Add to that the open push to change the rules so Trump can have a third term, and the very real, very RED flags of an intended fascist dictatorship installing itself in power are right there on display.
What happened in Wisconsin was amazing, but it's not enough to stop this unless we prepare to fight. March, protest, vote against them , don't do business with any company that aligns with them. Form entire communities of resistance online and in person.
Because right now, there's no actual governing. They're just tearing everything down to remake America in Trump's image and it won't matter what your sex race or religion is when that happens, because if you're not with them, at that point the gun wielding thugs in body armor and jackboots will be showing up at your own door. Count on it
#resistance
My biggest fear is that there won’t be any more elections, period 😢
There are 340 million people living in the united states and not one person, let alone a team of people is trying to stop him. Inmate P01135809 needs to be stopped.
Cory Booker and the Dems that supported his message without teleprompters during his marathon speaking on the Senate floor certainly made a historical try. Where are the others that stay quiet?
This fiasco is Groundhog Day in steroids as it happened during Trump's first term and the foolish Republicans and Independents showed amnesia by electing him again. When will these people learn? Yet we 49% voters for Harris must pay the steep price.
This is the reason why we MUST organize a nationwide walkout, and be willing to make it last until substantive changes are in place.
It was no surprise seeing the nations that had tariffs put on them basically say they would take their business elsewhere. Way to go, Dementia Donny!
Art of the Deal in action! More failure and devastation in Blameless Donny’s wake
What's so infuriating is that during the lead-up to the election, we all predicted this would happen. I doubt any of us realized it would be this bad and at a lightning pace. I'm taking a small modicum of hope in the fact that Sen Chuck Grassley (!!) has co-sponsored a bill to take the tariff power back from the Convicted Felon.
Well, some believe, perhaps too optimistically, that the Rs are terrified that the oligarchs won't be able to pull this off, so the Grand Orc Party is moving as quickly as possible to keep things going their way and to increase their own personal wealth and power. The chaos and fear/uncertainty/doubt (FUD) are definitely working in their favor right now. Good luck tomorrow, protesters! (International "Hands Off" protest on April 5th)
It'll never pass the House.
You're right, Deborah, which continues to prove that the Republican party doesnt give a tinkers damn about their constituents or Americans in general. They are cruel and dishonest.
Retrumplicans never have and never will give a fuck about anyone or anything but their greedy selves. The price we pay for this selfish government will be painful for the majority of us. So, tomorrow do what one can to #RESIST !
"I doubt any of us realized it would be this bad and at a lightning pace" I did.
Me too. 1987, 2001, 2008. Got out of the stock market as soon my husband retired.
You can be sure that Grassley's focus is on his Iowa farmers' livelihood only. That mummified guy needs to go, too.
apparently not all of us predicted this... like all those useless "lock her up" shitsticks that voted for him because they're low IQ idiots.
Sadly even though they will lose big time, I doubt they’ll ever feel the pain most of us in the real world will feel. I happen to have a rather wealthy friend who isn’t even concerned that he lost $19K in the stock market yesterday. Meanwhile I’m terrified to even look at what this sadistic game playing is doing to my pathetic 401K. 🫣
I am fucking tired of ‘there will be temporary hardships’ bullshit🤬 As you said, D.S., the bastards who say this will never suffer hardship; they haven’t a clue what it’s like to live from paycheck to paycheck. Fuck them all to hell 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Just like one of them needs to have a family member take a bullet before they realize tragedy is devastating to the family and community.
Crap, no where near wealthy here, and my investments lost $37k yesterday! Not even going to look today, for fear I will come unglued.
You're lucky to have a 401 K.
Meanwhile, FOX is tackling all of the important issues like Trans people in sports and Biden's age. 🙄
And when people express their opposition they will try to turn the military against us.
That will be his excuse for imposing Martial Law.
which is my worry for tomorrow's Hands Off demonstrations
