StRaTeGiC uNcErTaInTy! AKA: WE DON'T HAVE A FUCKING CLUE HOW TO FINANCIALLY RUN THIS COUNTRY (TO BENEFIT ANYONE BUT BILLIONAIRES) UNLESS IT'S INTO THE GROUND.
Sir preps for a series of facelifts, hair transplants, tippy-toe shoe lifts, and bespoke Manspanks™ fittings -- all designed to provide Sir with that "Is 82 / Looks 81 Sheen" well ahead of the 2028 elections.
So we now run an entire government on lies and equivocation. Is this this the new Republican principle of governance? Here is an analogy: Try to build a bridge on lies and fudging the numbers and type of materials. You get a Chinese tofu-dreg bridge, People die. Would you be ok with that? You seem to be ok with these lies.
So I will tell you the truth I believe: Trump needs to go and you with it because you are no better than he is. You aren't. Because if you were as alarmed as knowledgeable people out here in the real world are, you would be doing something about it. And you aren't. Fire Trump before he takes your job as well, because that will be coming as soon as he ends the judiciary. He will do it while you wonder what to do next.
I'd say the huge AI deal Qatar just signed is, at least, part of the quo of the quid given. That it puts U.S. companies at a disadvantage in the AI space makes it pretty clear that the big ol' jet airliner was definitely a bribe.
“There are outside law firms involved.” - Would these be the same law firms this mafia administration threatened into doing “pro bono” work for the government? 🤨
I know a guy who owns a drywall business. His business dries up six months before the recession hits and starts up again six months before the recession lifts.
Tapper's new book gets a lot of airtime on NPR today. I'm struck by how many unnamed sources it's based on. I'm not surprised by the false equivalence NPR implies between Biden being old and not wanting to admit it and Trump shredding the constitution and corrupting the office for his own benefit.
We are so fucked, and I am so done with Jake Tapper.
"WITKOFF: Well, first of all, Jon, it’s a perfectly legal transaction. It’s been vetted by the White House counsel, by the Justice Department. There are outside law firms involved."
I presume that those "outside law firms" are the ones that bowed down to the proven rapist Trump and this is part of the pro bono work they promised to do for him?
Otherwise, who else would do it as every other lawyer that ever worked for the hater of our troops and cops Trump is either disbarred or has been put in the administration to carry out revenge against the rule of law.
"If you want to bring up COVID and why the pandemic was so terrible, you may want to look up who was in charge of the initial response that almost cratered the economy. (Hint: It’s the guy who hired you.)"
Isn't it interesting that anytime they let the proven rapist Trump actually do whatever he wants to the economy, it craters? And when he stops, it gets better?
It makes it seem like someone needs to investigate Wharton for what they are telling their Business School students?
It is fucking amazing luck that somehow, Scott Bessent lucked into Billions as a hedge fund manager - because he appears as dumb as dogshit.
I'd like to hear what professional negotiators and planners think about Bessent's "strategic uncertainty" - that is a term that only an economic moron would make up.
As it is, FFOTUS removed the Resolute Desk from the Oval Office in February for "refinishing" - it was speculated that he did so after Elon Musk's four-year-old apparently rubbed a booger on it. It was supposedly returned to the Oval Office in mid-March ( altho' stories in late April implies that the Resolute Desk remains out of office )
Let Trump's Reign of Stupidity and Terror suffice to shut up everyone who says things like, "Well, you can elect any fool to the presidency because the country runs on autopilot." Nope. Donald Trump has almost single-handedly destroyed the Republic. And he's done it just about four months. You could say he's had some help from his sycophants, but that still amounts to saying it's all due to him since these sycophants are mostly or entirely incompetent.
How about the simple-minded jagoffs who insist "there's not a dimes worth of difference"? What, short of a baseball bat applied directly to the occiput, will it take to shut THEM up?
They’re an annoying bunch, to be sure. Mostly, I think they’re immature. I’ve heard the “dime’s worth” argument many times, and it never fails not to impress me. Those making it seem to think their lazy, slovenly declarations will make them appear wise beyond everyone around them — you know, all those poor suckers who haven’t thought it through and thus kid themselves into thinking Barack Obama isn’t PRECISELY the same as Donald Trump. The only hope is that they’re eventually grow out of this jejeune, ignorant view. It isn’t much of a hope, though.
"BESSENT: Well, Jake, first of all, that the history of rating agencies by the time they get to a downgrade, everything's already in the market. […] I don't put much credence in the Moody's …"
So, it's Moody's fault that That Man drove the car into quicksand on purpose?

If the credit downgrade is a "lagging indicator" then we're even worse off.

It's in Mar-a-Lago, and it's never coming back.
Heyyyy let’s chat soon — I’ll DM my number in case you don’t have it 🙏

Has rage yam threatened Moody's yet?
In better news, another trade deal was just announced... between the EU and Britain.
