  1. Id fire Nico before he fucks up the draft.
  2. 30% is still an insane trade war started for no reason other than the president failing high school economics Everyone acting like tariffs are gone is driving me insane
  3. “Up to Scott B” It’s not like he’s the President who solely drove this abuse of a loophole on “national security” to levy the biggest US backed trade war in a century, and then threw a tantrum when China punched back. Now it’s all “up to Scott B”. That’ll do it. I’m sure that will absolve him of the consequences
  4. While pithy, it’s sad how true this statement is
  5. That’s true but he’s been pretty consistent voicing the stupidity and self harm of the tariff policy. His refrain is “there is a reason tariffs end in -ffs” [for fuck sake]
  6. Whatever that number may be it will be dwarfed by the cost of IRS cuts and lack of tax enforcement which will cost at least $500 billion. Plus those dollars come at a cost of lost trade, small businesses closing, and layoffs. So great, some dollars may have come in the door but there won’t be a trucking industry by fall.
  7. There is no off ramp and there will be no off ramp. They can throw parties for themselves and manipulate markets by press releases but refusing to remove tariffs is the whole game. Oh and data shows we have a trade surplus with the UK so if they can’t get tariff relief… well we’re headed for a worldwide recession. At some point the stock market will stop trading on vibes but that’s probably not until stores are empty and mass layoffs start.
  8. No he was wrong. 10% as to every country on earth alone is a staggering departure of norms
  9. My dad: “he’s not going to do that. Tariffs will be targeted”. Cool
  10. Honestly glad it’s not two firsts. We fix the OL yet or are we going to have another season of no running game and asking Dak to generate everything while running for his life?
  11. This would have been a great time to have an effective leader who could build international coalitions and defense intelligence people who aren’t broadcasting troop movements from personal devices to journalists. This. This will be very bad
  12. Fuck all the finger wagging trolls who constantly dictate to everyone “don’t call republicans Nazis”. I’m sure this administration’s support of Loomer, the Nazi saluting at inauguration and CPAC, the dinner with Nick Fuentes, the support for AFD, the open fascism, the repeated refusal to disavow support of white supremacists… I’m sure they are all coincidences. There needs to be a public acknowledgement that the republican party is headed by Nazi sympathizers.
  13. https://www.propublica.org/article/how-doge-irs-cuts-will-cost-more-than-savings-trump-musk-deficit and https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/doge-cuts-cost-135-billion-analysis-elon-musk-department-of-government-efficiency/ Those articles come to mind. I also think this is a useful resource: https://www.emptywheel.net/portfolio-item/doge-debunking/ less journalistic is this piece https://abovethelaw.com/2025/04/elon-musks-doge-disaster-will-likely-cost-taxpayers-nearly-4-times-more-than-it-cut/
  14. I know the “imagine if Biden/Obama did this” is evergreen but the GOP would never shut up about literally paying tax dollars to “illegals” to visit home
  15. I will never understand how people voted for Trump knowing that he is using the office to profit off foreign governments. First term it was a hotel, now it’s crypto - and just zero consequences or even news articles. The American people apparently just don’t care the the president is for sale to the highest bidder
  16. “Daddy look. Look Daddy. I’m at a party with rappers and players and I have money. Look”
  17. I dunno, I have a hard time hating on this, bc I think he’s beating himself up here. I interpreted that to be like “I’ve studied and I know exactly how I’m failing” with a bit of anger. That said it shows how much he’s in his head and the pressure to perform in the playoffs has caused him to crack. He’s broken
  18. Apologies for laugh reaction but something is wrong between his ears. He needs to use his third eye or put the rose in the front.[/Bull Durham] He’s psyched out
