Trump's manic desperation to slap his name on everything is giving me the impression that he knows he's close to shedding his mortal coil.

SCOTUS still needs to rule against his blanket tariff authority claim. He'll get the itch to manipulate the markets and do it all over again.

I'm surprised the markets haven't tanked 10% at this point.

Agreed, hopefully they've secured their profits and trimmed their risks. When the economic numbers come out, the job losses and inflation numbers are probably going to be pretty ugly. If there was ever a reason for a major correction, having an incompetent, criminal executive branch is it.

I'm surprised Wall Street is holding up well as its been. The consumer is getting battered on all sides. Can't really expect the top 10% to keep the party going.

Our National Parks are our “crown jewels.” Just one expert was plugging abandoned mines that leak methane and oil into these lands — until this administration let him go. Their reckless cuts endanger Americans and create a new public health crisis.

Of course, they'll target the least educated bumpkin that had no business getting hoisted to Congress to begin with.

@neguse.house.gov: "I think it is outrageous for these Republican senators to effectively guarantee themselves million-dollar paydays, a provision in this bill that very clearly applies to them. ... This is insanity to allow this provision to go forward"

🔥 @RepJoeNeguse: “Most of 🇺🇸 will find this REPUGNANT. These senators are guaranteeing themselves million-dollar paydays.” Bipartisan horror at @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn’s greedy money grab snuck inside the funding bill— rewarding themselves for getting investigated.

That's not including housing. So, it's actually within a standard 60/40 equity to bond allocation. But I do agree that equities are sitting on a shaky economic foundation.

I'm guessing expecting active-duty service members to disobey illegal orders will be too much to ask for. We're on our own it seems.

From what I recall, Lindy Li used to be vehemently against Trump, until he got elected. That's when she reversed her positions and hopped on the MAGA bandwagon. She believes in nothing; she's not a serious person and should be ignored moving forward.

You'd kind of think George would just take his pardon and disappear, instead he's inserting himself back into the public sphere by boisterous, ugly, loud islamophobia. He needs to be made uncomfortable wherever he's encountered.

He should be removed from his job. His words prove he can't do his job without bias.

Wall Street has completely decoupled itself from a contracting economy. The melt up in the stock market is pure speculation that's ignoring a consumer base that's under pressure on all fronts.

It's amazing how trusting Wall Street is of these numbers. You'd kind of think that some of these big traders would call out these cooked inflation numbers.

They celebrate punching down. Gleeful when people in desperate circumstances get deported. We can support border security and the law without getting off on the misery of others.

China’s trade diversification has been so successful that its export market is growing significantly despite the trade war.

If the government keeps giving our tax dollars to farmers, it's only fair that the government gets a stake in these farms. Set it up so they pay the government back for these bailouts.
