I've been thinking about what a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico and what it would do to the auto industry.  The price of new and used cars is going to rise, along with the price of parts.  New cars will be plentiful, but pricy.

If half of the US automotive stuff is made outside the US and half is made inside, it's reasonable to think we may see a 12-13% rise in prices.

Today, the average US car costs around $48,000, so we could see average car prices approaching $54,000 by the end of the year because of tariffs.

Now imagine the price of homes rising as well due to increased costs of lumber from Canada. That isn’t even accounting for the likely labor shortage. If you thought homes were overpriced now…oh boy.

I have very good college friends going back and forth on social media about how refreshing it is that we have somebody back in office who can answer questions from the press while signing EO’s at the same time since there’s no way Biden could do that.

Never mind that the EO’s are for things like renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and making KFC fried chicken the US national bird while answering questions about his meme crypto-coin and wondering why CA officials didn’t think of turning on the yuge water spigot to allow water to flow to LA to put out the fires.

It’s only been a week and I’m losing my ever-loving sanity.

His tariffs will kill our economy and cause food crises - and his actions regarding NIH and VA will lead to large disease upticks. The DEI stuff has huge, sweeping changes for any business who has a governmental contract and will prevent them from doing many things. 

It's almost like, and hear me out here, Donald Trump doesn't actually care about Americans and is in this for himself, his family, and the trolls he associates with directly. Crazy thought, I know! 

Don't forget removing all ethics requirements for government officials (what little we did have).

If people are going to focus on missing WH web pages, they need to take a break. Indirectly the President can do whatever they want with the WH website. No court is going to stop them. Focus on what matters not getting distracted by every slight.

But you're welcome to get triggered by every tweet and news story if you want.

Nobody is focusing on it and no one is triggered. Fucking Christ, it was just something that was pointed out. And yes it matters but of course there are much bigger issues to worry about

But remember, the most important thing is that we stop windmill cancer.

These clearly cause cancer:

These, however, are the cleanest thing ever, and actually make the air better and don't make anyone sick at all:

Blah blah blah.
"How did deadly, violent, horrific fascism take total power in places like Italy and Germany?  This is how.  Exactly this way."
We're being called alarmist because we don't yet have mass graves.  Pointing out "yeah....the graves come late in the game.  Right now, they're doing everything - literally every single thing - that ends up leading to those graves" draws only "pshaw, you're crazy."  What the actual fuck?  There's a dude with matches, cans of gasoline, wearing a shirt that says "I'm an arsonist", running towards our house yelling "I'm going to fucking burn your house down," and those of us who say "hey....we should stop that crazy arsonist" are being told to STFU, nobody's going to burn anything down.
I hate this timeline, I hate my fellow human beings.  All I have left is to laugh at those who mock us as they too are consumed in the flames they helped ignite.

Remember it is really all the Democratic Party’s fault to nominating Hillary Clinton. I mean, we had to vote for a conman, sex offender, felon, because reasons.

Yep.  Because if there's one thing we know, conservatives are chronically unbanked.

This will be taken as true, and will be inscribed in stone as truth, because Trump said it.  That's it.  That's the sole test for whether something is a proven, undeniable fact: did Trump say it?  If he did, it's a fact.

I disagree to the extent that this is the end of even lip service to federal characteristic based affirmative action (other than disability).  This has a tremendous upside despite the potential short-term pain, primarily by allowing the left to avoid an increasingly difficult argument.  And to focus on color blind economic disparities.  

I'm not saying there the legacy of discrimination isn't with us.  I'm saying that the debate, as structured around affirmative action and reparations is unwinnable.  

If the Left had taken the lead on this - a similar executive order with an economic-based replacement -- over the last two decades they could have accomplished something, and really solidified their political appeal, just like they could have with tailored solutions to immigration and climate change.

Seriously, did someone with a windmill not kiss his ass? Why are windmills such a pariah to him other than because he's an f'ing moron.

Same. bought a truck because I feared the prices will skyrocket with tariffs (also, january is the best month to get a good deal as the market floods with hand-to-mouth buyers who rely on tax returns starting Feb and going into summer, in case anyone was looking).

There is no "other."  Full stop.  He's a complete fucking moron.

We happen to have created and bolstered a system that allows amoral/immoral complete fucking morons to accumulate incredible wealth.  THEN, we decided as a society that "has wealth" means "you are a good, decent, and smart person who we should trust with our lives."  We created a society meant to be dominated by evil morons, and supported by morons who vote.  We are the Republic of Morons.

First admin showed these were just there for show.  It resulted in pesky questions, so better to just get rid of them.  What's the use if (a) they aren't going to be enforced and (b) only make tfg look bad  worse in press conferences.

there is no doubt that the President now has full control over the prosecutorial discretion of the DOJ and is immune from all criminal conduct for it - just as John Roberts wanted. This is Roberts’ legacy and this is what people voted for. 

It’s just going to be a daily deluge of poisonous bad news, getting progressively worse. How can we possibly address yesterday’s atrocities when tomorrow’s will be even worse? That’s how they’ll get away with it—vile overload.

Pretty sure it's because some rich people with ocean front property who think the offshore wind farms would ruin their property value/their view got in his ear/promised "big big" donations of Donald got rid of the windmills...

Now he's threatening to demand that interest rates come down, because he knows they're going to anyway, and God dammit nothing is going to happen anywhere that he doesn't get credit for.

Yes. I think it matters in the United States. A lot, actually. I also think you're going to start seeing more and more Republicans blow him off.

As long as the Cult votes the way he says, no GOP elected official would knowingly get on his bad side. I hope I’m wrong.  But I don’t think I am.   The left that is currently numb is going to start resisting in every way possible, and nothing about this term is going to make the great political divide any less bitter and divisive.    

As long as his base says, “ if you disagree with orange man, I hate you!”, I do not see any spines growing in a GOP Congress.

I don't disagree because members have to run in primaries, but this is a perfect recipe for losing your majority in the House of Representatives.

The new Trump Federal Commission on elections and banning voting  machines from Venezuela will make sure that doesn’t happen. Maybe.
