LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 03/07/2025Got banned from Threads last night, no warning, no reason. All I said was I’m going on my Asian vac, not letting Trump scare me, and “fuck ’em.” Boom, gone. Appealed, but nothing. If that’s all it takes to get nuked, fuck it, I’m out. 120
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 03/07/2025I knew that the President of the United States was the most powerful person in the world. However, I also thought that there was checks and balances to make sure he didn't overstep his powers. I was wrong! 030
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 25/05/2025Prices are climbing. My $300 power sprayer from Feb is now $399 & Amazon calls it a sale😅. But hey, according to MAGA logic, this is awesome. Apparently, it’s downright patriotic to embrace higher prices, inflation, and the looming threat of a recession. Stars, stripes, and sticker shock!🤣media.tenor.coma man in a suit and tie is dancing with the words tariff tariff tariff written on the bottom .ALT: a man in a suit and tie is dancing with the words tariff tariff tariff written on the bottom . 021
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 16/05/2025A future Democratic President could use this precedent—say, to ban all guns via executive order. It’s as if the Project 2025 MAGAs don’t expect to lose future elections. Makes you wonder what’s really going on. This is freaking scary!!! 020
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 15/05/2025I’ve never ever seen Trump supporters so misinformed on so many issues (especially on tariffs and the economy) like they are today, and that’s saying a lot. There’s so many of them, walking around like zombies, repeating false information, it’s freaking scary. 020
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 12/05/2025And let’s not forget that our two largest trading partners, Canada and Mexico, still face a 25% tariff. Coupled with China’s 30% tariff, we can expect a significant rise in prices, meaning inflation will continue to hit us hard. In other words, we're still fucked! 130
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 11/05/2025This is open bribery. And thanks to last year’s Supreme Court ruling, the President is immune from prosecution for actions in office. So when the executive branch breaks the law, who enforces it? No one. This is seriouly fucked up!! 000
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 11/05/2025As long as Fox News is around, millions will keep living in an alternate universe. Yesterday’s gem on Fox News: “Tariffs are working”—apparently because of some magical UK–US trade deal that didn't change anything. I actually laughed out loud. 010
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 10/05/2025Hey, let’s do 0% tariffs with China—no protections, just a good ol’ free-market brawl (Republican hardon). Survival of the fittest, right? If China makes it cheaper, well hey, too bad, so sad. That’s capitalism, baby! Who needs jobs when you’ve got economic purity? 120
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 10/05/2025This is terrifying—suspending habeas corpus means the govt can jail you without a trial or reason. It violates the Constitution and shreds due process. If you're not paying attention, now's the time. This is authoritarianism 101. 021
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 10/05/2025Yeah, I work in a county jail and we don't release people becasue they have to wait until Monday to see the judge. It looks like they fucked up and released him, and made up a lame excuse why..lol 120
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 09/05/2025The GOP-led House spent yesterday voting to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Instead of tackling inflation or looming economic issues, Republicans are pushing pointless bills to please Trump—ignoring real problems facing Americans. 030
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 09/05/2025I've never seen MAGA so misinformed. It was bad before, but Trump 2.0 is beyond belief—cheering tariffs, embracing inflation, calling higher prices patriotic. When faced with facts, they just yell "fake news." It's truly mind-boggling how far gone they are. 120
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 09/05/2025Before Trump took office in 2025, Canada, Australia & Germany were leaning far-right. Then the world saw Trump 2.0 in action—chaos, tantrums, fascist vibes—and did a 180. Even the Vatican said “no thanks” and picked a progressive Pope. So thanks, Trump… kinda. 😆 150
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 08/05/2025You know, I don't give a fuck about the new Pope (religion is all made up and fake as fuck I). However, it's nice that he's a progressive pope and not a Trump fan. 020
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 08/05/2025You don't have to be an economist, or financial guru, to see this coming! 230
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 08/05/2025Both of my cars are electric—so are my lawn mower, weed eater, chainsaw, leaf blower, and impact wrench. Why? Sure, I believe in climate change and I’m glad to reduce my footprint, but honestly, it’s mostly about convenience and cost (and they're saving me a ton of money on gas)! 000
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 06/05/2025The good news, consumer spending is up. The bad news, it's because everybody is buying now before the tariffs take effect. 110
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 06/05/2025No, he's not dumb, but playing dumb. He knows the Constitution, and that it protects all inhabitants of this country including immigrants. He's just afraid of Trump and. his MAGA thugs. 010
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 06/05/2025Explain this brilliance to me: the U.S. and Canada had zero tariffs before Trump’s tantrum. Now we’re ‘negotiating’… to undo the mess he made? Typical Trump—torches the house, spits on the flames, then demands a parade for saving it. 020
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 03/05/2025I used to work as a customer service rep for a major cell phone company, and believe or not, even though I spoke fluent English (no accent), I had customers refuse to speak to me because I had a Spanish last name. Shit you not...lol 010
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 01/05/2025The tariffs will have a double impact on inflation. Tariffs are driving up import costs and causing companies to cancel shipments, leaving docks half-empty. This will lead to shortages, higher prices, and supply chain disruptions. We’re facing inflation, a recession—and possibly a depression. 020
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 24/04/2025Many EV makers are adopting Tesla’s NACS ports. While using Tesla Superchargers supports Musk, the good news is NACS is now an open standard. Companies can use it without paying Tesla, so charging at non-Tesla NACS stations (coming soon) won’t put any money in Musk’s pocket. 000
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 24/04/2025Wow, some great news (not for the Musk Rat though..lol)! www.businessinsider.com/volkswagen-o...businessinsider.comVW has overtaken Tesla as Europe's top EV sellerVolkswagen EV registrations rose more than 150% year-over-year while Tesla saw the biggest decline among the top 30 brands. 061
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 24/04/202533% are MAGA and nothing, and I mean, nothing will stop them from worshiping the Orange Man! 000
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 17/04/202556% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy. But 53% approve of his mass deportation policies & that’s exactly why MAGA wants immigration chaos plastered across the news cycle 24/7.It’s a calculated smokescreen to cover up Trump’s catastrophic tariff war & economic incompetence... 120
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 17/04/2025If not for inflation, Harris would’ve won—no doubt. Trump wasn’t elected by MAGA, but by uninformed voters. A recent poll showed him -21 with independents, reflecting his economic unpopularity. For many, it’s all about their wallets—this makes Trump very vulnerable in the midterms and in 2028. 031
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 15/04/2025Here's my question, how did Trump and MAGA not know this was coming. To me they obviously knew, but either didn't care or did it on purpose. Something is very fishy! My thoughts is thay have something very devious in plan which should scare the fuck out of all of us! 000
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 15/04/2025The article says 179 Boeing planes will be canceled. That's hundreds of billions of dollars in lost revenue for Boeing. Not to mention thousands of jobs lost as well. I'm sure El Salvador will buy them, right? 021
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 11/04/20251 of 4: Even if every country—including the U.S.—eliminated tariffs entirely, we’d still run a trade deficit. Why? Because aside from crude oil, military arms/aircraft, and agricultural or farming equipment, there’s little global demand for American-made goods. 221
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 11/04/2025Planned a month in Asia this July, mostly Philippines (my wife is from there), with stops in Singapore & China (see the Great Wall). But thanks to China–Trump tensions, we're canceling China. Don’t want to risk being there if things escalate. We’ll lose money, but safety first. Fuck you Trump🖕 020
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 10/04/2025And that's without the United States, the largest EV market in the world, behind China. BYD is basically blocked from the U.S. market due to 100% tariffs on Chinese cars. If BYD were allowed to compete in the U.S, Tesla would be crushed. 010
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 10/04/2025I work in a far-right industry where Fox News is always on in the dining area. While the world talks tariffs and recession, Fox is fear-mongering about sanctuary cities releasing thousands of criminals, to distract from Trump's tariffs.

LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 08/04/2025This one is going to hurt. My wife is from the Philippines and we buy a lot from the Asian stores in Kansas City. 010
LRLAZ @lrlaz.bsky.social · 07/04/2025My wife and I, both US citizens, had a fully paid July trip to the Philippines, Singapore, and China this July. Given current events, we're likely canceling. We'll lose money, but safety comes first—it's just not worth the risk😕 050
