It’s relevant because it’s all over social media this morning that Wal-Marks prices have skyrocketed because of his tariffs 

 

Well, no shit.

This is only the beginning, too.  It's the high turn stuff in there like milk and coffee.  

Once Big Retail sells through all off the stuff they pulled forward pre tariff, this is going to get ugly.

i’ve always found history fascinating. It is often a template on how to deal with current problems.

 

 

That was a very instructive and fucking entertaining story. Thanks for sharing.

Currently in ruralish Brazil (Rio Branco) visiting my wifes family. This place was a Bolsonaro hot bed, including most of her family. They have nothing but venom towards Trump after this past 2 weeks. Him trying to interfere with Brazilian politics/economics/social media regulation is backfiring and actually garnering large support behind Lula. Dumb idiot.


Are Brazilian women really into butt stuff at a clip more than any other nationality?

I’ve been told it’s not the same taboo it once was, however, my friend read once that Brazilian women had the highest instance of regular backdoor shenanigans.

This friend seemed very curious about the matter and idk if he ever truly got the answer he was seeking. Considering your unique perspective in the matter, I thought I’d a least ask … for him.

Thank you for your help in resolving this very important cultural exchange question.

Walmart is not going to lose money for Trump. The Dotard thought that retailers would take it up the ass for him and his stupid trade shit, as usual he was wrong.

This is what my daughter (a freshly graduated UT nurse who is about to start in a peds cardiac ICU next week) said as well.  Of course, she unfortunately also added that with CHF and the type of care he likely receives that one could go for quite a while....womp womp.

Yes. I’m not really into it and a few months in she said she was surprised I hadn’t tried yet because it’s so common there.

For some time I’ve been kicking around buying a Marantz Cinema 70s AV Receiver to up my movie sound game a bit.  

it was on the low end of the AVR spectrum, being only $1000.   I instantly ordered it online once Trump announced the 30% Japan, Korea, tariffs.   I looked five minutes ago on the Marantz site - it is now $1,300.

So yes, it is now a thing.

It's occured to me (I can be a bit slow) that all Trump is doing is running his personal vendettas against anyone and everyone.

He has nothing nothing to do with running the government.  He is just letting his incompetent staff play government.

I have an ex-coworker who got married to a Texan in California, then immediately accepted a position to head up an office in Brazil. 

A couple years later, he and his new Brazilian family look like they're doing really well.

That’s basically what he ran on. Making those that don’t support him miserable. In that way he’s been very successful.

This is obviously the case. MAGA likes him because his vendettas align with some of their own despicable interests - get rid of non-white people, get rid of LGBTQ, attack education, attack science, attack intellectualism, attack anything that can be considered woke.

What they fail to see is that Trump really doesn’t care about them at all. He doesn’t like poor people beyond his need for them to elect him, which is now in the past. Christians and religious people are delusional in thinking he is one of them. Middle America and farmers, same deal. He isn’t serving most of them except occasionally by accident. Not because he wanted to help them, but because his vindictiveness and greed happens to work in their favor.

Trump serves himself, his family, and whatever billionaires or world leaders kiss his ass hard enough.

Exhibit A: Old cost of sweet AVR=$1,000.00

Exhibit B: New cost of sweet AVR= $1,300.00

Exhibit C $1,300/1000=30% increase.

Colbert has his late night show canceled as Paramount wilted under trump to the tune of $16 million. 

I'm a bit behind on this one and I don't watch late night TV.

But that is some bullshit.  Look how free we are.  Just don't criticize the most openly corrupt asshole in our history. Fuck Larry Ellison too while I'm at it.

Colbert has 10 more months. He is going to go absolutely scorched earth on Dotard in those 10 months. I actually wonder if he makes it to May.

Cool. I'm sure it will make a huge difference to his audience comprised 100% of people that already agree with him. 

Also, he probably won't. He's a bit more of a company man than I think most of us expected when he made the jump. He'll want to make sure everyone on staff gets every paycheck possible.

There's no way anyone watches him right? I haven't watched since the Colbert Report.

Once these price shocks set in, this is going to go very badly for them.  For some reason, Wall Street is completely ignoring this.  Everyone is thinking they're not as bad as they thought but in reality, they haven't even started in most cases.

Everyone pulled forward as much inventory as possible and when that sells through, people will be in for a shock.  Might take the rest of the year, depending on the category.

We watched him and Kimmel pretty regularly until the election but we don’t need a daily recap of what crazy shit Trump did before trying to sleep. Back to Family Guy or King of the Hill reruns now.

CBS’s Late Show was the only show among the nine tracked by LateNighter to draw more total viewers in Q2 than it had in the first quarter of 2025—although just barely, with the show growing its audience by 1% quarter over quarter. All told, the Stephen Colbert-hosted show averaged 2.42 million viewers across 41 first-run episodes, comfortably outpacing ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! (1.77 million) and NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (1.19 million). In the advertiser-coveted 18–49 demo, however, Kimmel surged ahead with 220,000 viewers—his strongest performance in a year—edging out Colbert (219,000) and leaving Fallon (at 157,000) in a distant third.

Exhibit D money stays in the bank and we make do with what have. I'm not spending a damn dime that I don't have to. Frivolity is gone.
