T.A.C.O. should become the only thing anyone thinks about when they see or hear trump. It should be hammered into the public psyche mercilessly from now on. No matter what he does or says the response should be trump will always go chicken shit. 

Of course that is too aggressive for the genteel Democrats

I’m sure this will be the name calling endeavor that breaks Drumpf/Cheeto/Lardass/Mushroom/Orangeman/Hitler/Dotard.

To recap:
Trump announces delay on EU tariffs: Market up. 

Court announces halting tariffs: Market up
Court announces halt to halting tariffs: Market up. 
I like to make fun of Trump and his taco as much as the next guy but the market is at a point where they don’t want to sell anymore because of it.

People need to start eating tacos in front of him, I know Donny is not as stupid as he portrays, just listen to him speak in the 80s and 90s it is an obvious idiot persona because his cult is brain dead stupid. They think that they are sooo in the know that they know that he is not a braindead idiot.

HOWEVER the point should be made that we are not afraid of making fun of him in the open. The more riducule he gets the less likely an underling will obey an order from him.

Next up?  Trump bans tacos.  Won't need them anymore with all the Mexicans gone.

is this the thread where you post when you've been DOGE'd / TACO'd? My now prior employer is in the healthcare space and is very reliant on federal/state funding and grants. We went from living it up during covid to now "workforce reduction and restructuring" because of all the cuts made and cuts proposed. I knew things were going to shit but thought my position was pretty insulated from cuts.

Sorry about this Hmbre.

I was at a small gathering of professional friends last night. People I regularly have drinks with. As we were talking, I realized that of the people in the room, 3/5 were either out of work, or in the process of getting rif’d. Not good, Bob.

I'm really not sure that openly daring Dotard to take his crazy ideas all the way, or risk being labeled a chicken, is really what we want to be doing.

It is. It puts him in a corner that destroys what he likes to do. It's all performance with these maga morons. He just says crazy things to make it seem like he's doing something, then he backs down before his crazy shit would hit the fan, then he crows about how he accomplished shit. Since the people didn't really get screwed over as badly as things seemed they believe trump actually did something good to stop it. 

By just hammering him and calling out his chicken shit nature it forces him to either continue to back down and be mocked for it, or actually go through with the crazy shit and harm a ton of his own people to a much higher degree than he has. Something he doesn't want to do. Either way he looks like a chicken shit or an idiot making everything far worse.

The only way through is forward. There's no good moves or good ideas with respect to dealing with fascists and authoritarians, except for removing them from power and stripping their influence wherever possible.

It's like killing a cancer. It's gonna do a fucking doozie on the host that's carrying the sickness

House Policy Bill Would Add $3.4 Trillion to Debt, Swamping Economic Gains

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/us/politics/house-bill-federal-debt.html?unlocked_article_code=1.P08.YQAs.oktITAZsnXhS&smid=url-share

Top notch fiscal conservatism!

Spoiler

House Republicans’ sprawling package to cut taxes and slash federal safety-net programs would add about $3.4 trillion to the debt, according to nonpartisan congressional analysts, who reported on Tuesday that the minor gains in economic growth under the bill would not offset its full fiscal impact.

The updated findings from the Congressional Budget Office amounted to yet another dour report card for the president’s signature legislation, which passed the House last month but now faces the prospect of significant revisions to its core components in the Senate.

In its current form, the House Republican bill would extend and expand a set of expiring tax cuts enacted by President Trump during his first term. It would pay for some of those expensive components with deep cuts to federal anti-poverty programs, including Medicaid and food stamps.

The C.B.O. report issued on Tuesday sought to project the ways the bill would interact with federal spending and the U.S. economy, building on its earlier finding that the House-passed measure carried a roughly $2.4 trillion price tag.

The nonpartisan analysts found that the House approach, if signed into law, would deliver a 0.09 percent boost to annual growth rate in the nation’s gross domestic product in the first few years after enactment, compared to current projections.

The budget office said that lower taxes would spur some American families and businesses to spend and invest more. But it also determined that the uptick in economic activity would not be sufficient to cover the costs of the legislation. Even after factoring in spending cuts, the proposal would still add nearly $2.8 trillion to federal deficits over the next 9 years, according to the official tally from C.B.O. The figure grows to about $3.4 trillion if the full costs of federal borrowing are included.

The gap reflects the stark reality that federal debt is rising, and becoming more expensive for Washington to sustain. It causes investors to demand higher returns to lend money to the United States, which creates a vicious cycle, as the government must then borrow more to pay those higher yields.

As a result, the House Republican tax bill could cause prices to rise and send interest rates higher, particularly on 10-year bonds, which stand to rise by 14 basis points over the next decade, the budget office said. Those bonds are key benchmarks that shape borrowing costs across the economy, even for consumers, raising the odds that the Republican tax measure could make mortgages and other products more expensive.

For the government, the level of debt held by the public would total about 124 percent of the nation’s economic output by 2035 if the House Republican bill were to become law, the budget office found. That is more than the office previously predicted, and much higher than most economists believe to be sustainable for a developed country.

The findings cast fresh doubt on Republicans’ continued assertions that their signature bill is less expensive than it appears. Until now, congressional estimates of the House tax package and its costs had not measured its complex interplay with the U.S. economy, prompting Mr. Trump and his allies to dismiss earlier negative findings as incomplete.

The budget office based its newest estimates in part on a set of projections previously put forward by the Joint Committee on Taxation, another nonpartisan advisory arm of Congress.

The official congressional score echoes the conclusions reached by other economists across the political spectrum, who have found one by one that the House Republican tax bill would yield limited growth while conferring its most generous benefits on businesses and the wealthy, rather than the poor.

Administration officials have responded skeptically to such estimates, seeking to discredit experts while presenting a more optimistic view of the president’s economic agenda.

Earlier this spring, the Trump administration put forward its own analysis showing the Republican tax proposal could raise economic output by as much as about 5 percent in the short term, compared with what might happen without the bill.

But the analysis appeared to hinge on Congress extending a set of generous corporate tax deductions on a permanent basis, something that House Republicans did not actually include in their legislation. On Monday, Republicans in the Senate unveiled a version of the bill that would make many of these corporate tax breaks permanent.

Mr. Trump’s top aides also have insisted the House bill, along with the president’s global tariffs, would serve to reduce the nation’s debt over the next 10 years. But that would require the United States to maintain steep taxes on imports for the entire decade, outlasting even Mr. Trump, who at times has offered to lower tariffs in exchange for favorable trade concessions around the world.

Kush Desai, a White House spokesman, pointed in a statement to the tariff revenue estimates as he sought to make the case that the president’s agenda would not worsen the nation’s debt.

“The Trump administration remains committed to an America First agenda of tariffs, rapid deregulation and domestic energy prediction that ushered in historic job, wage and economic growth during President Trump’s first term — prosperity that C.B.O. had also failed to predict back in 2017,” Mr. Desai added.
