The Republican position now appears to be that you have a constitutional right to openly carry a gun in public, unless you do so while expressing a view that the government dislikes, in which case the secret police can shoot you to death on the spot.

Murphy: "It's not designed as economic policy. It's designed as political policy. Because Trump gets really excited when people have to come to him, petition the king for relief. That's what he's doing with law firms, doing with universities. That may be what he's doing with businesses."

Don’t be fooled that Trump’s tariffs are just incompetence. It’s about power, just like the Exec orders issued to law firms and higher ed. He is counting on corporate America to come to him on bended knee asking for exceptions & giving loyalty in return. He doesn’t give a damn about the economy.
