Every European CEO: "Sounds rational. I'll spend 5 billion Euros on a factory in America that'll become obsolete the second trump changes his mind or gets confused about something else."
Trump really does treat tariffs like a toddler treats a plastic sword.
He waves it around, declares himself king of the living room, hits everyone in the shins, then acts shocked when the people paying for groceries, gas, cars, and basic survival start asking why “winning” feels exactly like getting mugged by your own government.
And the best part is he still thinks tariffs punish Europe. No, sweetie. That bill does not land in Brussels. It lands in Becky’s car payment, Jim-Bob’s truck parts, and everyone’s grocery receipt.
The sooner we stop using any fossil fuels the better. The Chinese are rapidly moving in that direction and will leave us in the dust Trump and his lackies are the most destructive force Americans have ever encountered.
So I've been on a loud and constant anti SNL kick lately, bc they don't use CC in their clips, and that's really unacceptable. So when I saw this clip has CC, I was pleased, but then saw it was the London version. So I went and checked our SNL, and they have CC on their clips now, too! I like to think I have something to do with that.
My sister turns on CC as a habit from watching international programming on PBS. I find myself turning it off after giving it a chance. Based on how it presents speech in English I'm not sure how accurate an interpretation my sister is getting of a foreign language.
“[I] took the greatest economy we’ve ever had, and I said, we’re going to have to take a little detour and stop that from happening. And that’s what happened. It’ll come to an end very soon, and we’re going to be very victorious. So when you do that, no other president was willing to do that.”
Such an odd thing to be proud of: is he admitting that he took “the greatest economy we’ve ever had” on a “little detour” and has “stopped it (the economy) from happening”? That the economy will “come to an end very soon”? And that “no other president was willing to do that (destroy the econnomy)”? Well, no, that’s not what presidents do – even Herbert Hoover didn’t deliberately cause the Depression.
Is this DJT’s lifetime goal – after ruining every business he’s been involved in (steaks, water, airlines, casinos), he's finally going for the big one?
I know this is sanewashing him, but I've sussed his patterns and have a different reading. He's trying to jam into a single sentence the Republican talking points of how good the US economy is doing as if he did that, and his justification for the war that Iran was gonna have nukes.
“[I] took the greatest economy we’ve ever had, and I said, we’re going to have to take a little detour and stop [Iran having nukes] from happening. And [stopping the nukes] is what happened. [The war will] come to an end very soon, and we’re going to be very victorious. So [I did] that, no other president was willing to do that.”
Now, were I a newspaper, I would print exactly what he said, because in a better timeline the fucking president of the fucking US would be able to string together syntactically sensible sentences, and he and his henchpeople should receive the full brunt of any misinterpretation that arises because of his veering verbiage.
I say start planning for the big day now. What are you going to do when that day comes? How will you observe this event? What supplies and necessary items will you have stocked in advance? Have you alerted your employer that you may be absent that day, or late to your shift? Courtesy requires forethought. Have you considered sending preemptive invitations to your friends and neighbors, saying I can't tell you to save the date since I don't know when it will happen, but when it does party at my place.
Certainly as a mood ehancer as a safe and simple short distraction, planning for the big day could be a way of bringing a moment of respite or ease to everyday now going forward. Gosh, it might just be a useful addition to your self-care routine.
What do you think would be appropriate color palette for the tablescape and room? red seems certainly out. Red, white and blue seem a little on the nose, but don't count it out. And those items if the big day should happen in the first 6 months of this year, could be repurposed for your July 4th and Labor Day celebrations.
What should be served to eat? Heavy hors d'oeuvres or a sit-down meal? Of course there's nothing more Middle American than hot dogs and hamburgers and veggie burgers on the grill, with Wisconsin cheese and housemaid buns and Eastern Philadelphia water ice for dessert. And of course nothing like that summer ham, the Great American watermelon, a virtual symbol of the abundance of the American Summer.
Sparklers and fireworks seem like going too far. In fact, the best ones are quite illegal in many states and the big day is no opportunity to start breaking laws, when the dear hope is the resumption of the rule of law. But One sense is that there will be a need to release pent-up energy into communicate through loud noise. Firearms are right out. Have you thought about something perhaps as old-fashioned as a hearty three Cheers? It wouldn't be wrong, especially for those who think highly of Pope. Bob from Chicago to organize the brief but meaningful song rendition of non nobis and te deum. If you're not one to sing or you don't have enough singers, consider getting a copy of the soundtrack to the 1989. 1989 oscar-winning Kenneth Bragnagh film Henry V, just play the track that appears after the victory at the Battle of Agincourt. If none of that suits you, consider hanging a banner on your home with your own succinct message about the big event. It's silent, therefore respectful, but will make a big impact. Electric holiday lights add a sparkle to any outdoor sign.
Well, those are just some preemptory thoughts about how you might plan for the big day and do it in style. Remember, there are no wrong answers, unless includes shooting off firearms in celebration. Have fun with it!

Mom used to say "Don't pick your nose it will stay that way" and it did. What did Trump's mom warn him about?
Please. Like every white person of British heritage isn't related to royals, and each other. Those fuckers get around.

So what happens now? Does Roberts call Trump and say "You can't do that, thank you for your attention to this matter?"
Imagine, for one moment, the headlines if a Democrat said that they took the greatest economy and decided they had to stop that.
Cheeky bum-looker!
I wonder what his drawrings look like these days, aside from the ketchup Pollocks.
"There has never been anything like what is happening in America today!"
Well, he does have that right. But maybe he doesn't mean it quite the way we do.
Oh my god whisky pete is in so far over his head.
Is anyone going to tell him what happened to Charles the First? Because I think they should...

So, inbred then? That explains a lot.

He will not stay or even visit Buck House, but possibly chat with his buddy Andrew.
