What is a financial deficit? Does he mean a trade deficit? We are richer than China in every metric imaginable, but I guess we need them to buy our products more for some reason?

Yep. I think the money is better spent supporting organizations that help the victims of the administration. Gay advocacy, legal support for persons of color being rounded up indescriminately, food programs, and the like. 

I don't want to starve the Dems, but they are not best instrument in this struggle at least so far. Public outcry may alleve some of their fears of losing their seats. So many Dems are so timid.

Crockett, AOC, Booker and a few others are out front. I will say, to state the obvious, that there is no John Lewis right now. Someone is going to have to be the new face of Bloody Sunday 2 in order to really get the public mobilized. Otherwise te protests will wind up being performative art and I don’t want to see that be the outcome from this.

Let's call it what it is, a tax hike on Americans that doesn't require Congressional approval. (although they could stop it)

Deficit or surplus?  Because he uses both.  Guy doesn't know shit from shinola and thinks any "deficit" is bad.

The nationwide protests are building, but they really need to be outside Mar-a-Lago and his golf courses on Saturdays and Sundays.

Trump is pretty isolated from the world.  He's in the White House most of Mon-Fri, then flys to Florida for weekend golf every Sat-Sun.  His world is what he sees out of the Oval Office, the view from a helicopter, a Big Mac and Filet-o-Fish served onboard a 747, a limo ride, the patio at Mar-a-Lago, and weekends behind a golf cart.  That's it.

He's surrounded by yes-men and young blondes who love every suggestion he has.

He needs to see the protests for them to be effective.

No. The goal isn't to change Trump's mind. That's not possible.

I know a few Warriors. Interesting. Few have tattoos, they are very well read, and have mundane hobbies. My favorite is a dude who lives next to Hadrian's wall and is a Gardner. Yep, the fucker is one of the meanest warriors out there.

These dicks think Meditations was written in Tibet. They are oxygen thieves.

It's popular to shit on Hofstadter these days, but some of his work should be more popular.

So, let's just check in on the key accomplishments of the Trump admin after....a mere 11 weeks:

1) Completely destroyed America's relationship with every last one of its allies.  We will never be a trusted ally again, with anyone.  Including countries like fucking Canada and the UK.  And let's not overlook the very real chance that we'll be in a shooting war with one of our allies before his term is up.

2) Destroyed America's defense industry's ability to sell to allies (see point 1 above).

3) Declared economic nuclear war on.....literally the entire fucking planet.  The whole planet.  All of it.  The US is their declared economic entity in an unprovoked and insane trade war.  Thus also destroying the US's status as a trusted trading partner -- every country with any brain is already working itself free from economic entanglement with the US.

4) Cratered the entire global economy (after all, we do make up 25% of the global GDP)...see point 3 above.  Recession is now inevitable.  His idiocy has erased, literally, tens of trillions of dollars in value/wealth world-wide.  An actual shooting war would have a hard time inflicting that much damage.

5) Eliminated any strategic/preventative health and disease work in the US.   We are already seeing outbreaks of viral diseases, and the only authorized response of the admin is...take cod liver oil and vitamins and shit.  Vaccines are out.  There is a good chance that in the coming years, certain vaccines will be outright banned in the US.

6) Literally erasing history with respect to any person who isn't a white male.  Harriet Tubman, Jackie Robinson, Tuskeegee airmen, Rosa Parks....erase them, because the fact that they are products of fighting against a racist system makes fragile white people feel bad.

7) Dispensing with the rule of law altogether, starting with its application to non-white people.  If you're a criminal, you can be deported without any due process, and all that takes is for the admin to declare that you're a criminal.  Wait, why didn't I get any due process to contest that finding?  Duh, because you're a criminal!  Nevermind the excercises of executive authority that intrude on the power of Congress, and are flatly illegal.  Nothing matters anymore, this admin is completely unrestrained by any laws.

8- Ramping up demonization of the "other." Read the multiple incoming, and counting, reports of people flat-out telling more brown people (actual Americans, by the way) to GTFO.  We will see more Wal-Mart-style attacks too. It's just a matter of time.

9) Draconian approaches to immigrants, INCLUDING otherwise law-abiding immigrants who are performing an actual economic function here.  Good luck building anything in the next year.  Who's gonna build it?  And with building supplies costing an extra 25% on top of it?  Enjoy paying more for all of your food.

Shit, I could go on and on and on.  But I don't think that any sane person can question the conclusion that this is the most disastrous first 3 months of a presidential administration in US history.  

But remember....IT IS GOING TO GET WORSE.

You order a senior immigration official responsible for the action to appear in court for a "show cause" hearing, and you jail them until they comply.

Nobody.

Thus my point.  You have no idea how bad this is going to get.  It's all on the table.  The worst-worst case scenarios?  All on the table.  All the way up to unprovoked use of nuclear weapons.

A fucking insane person has the keys to....everything.  And anyone who has the power to stop him has chosen, instead, to DEPEND on him for power.  Perhaps you missed my newsletter "HOLY FUCKING SHIT IT'S EVEN WORSE THAN I PREDICTED AND IT'S GOING TO GET EVEN WORSE."
