Gosh, why would Dump want to remove consumer protections????

Short of launching a nuclear missile, it appears that the markets don't really care what Orange does.
His tariffs are viewed as temporary bluffs, for the most part. The tearing apart of the US govt and our democracy also appear trivial to Mr. Ma…
"Here is the richest man in the world bragging about eliminating an agency that has delivered $21 billion back to working-class families since its inception," said Democrats on the House Committee on Financial Services, led by Ranking Member Maxine …
Well, its Friday afternoon, so....which govt office will Orange get to strong-arm tonight?
Friday night Massacres are his specialty. Helps avoid the main news cycle.
This is now acceptable in 2025. Totally constitutional, above-board behavi…
"Trump's plan is to build his hotels in Gaza and have the US military do the work for him."
Here I was thinking that he would just hire contractors and laborers and then just not pay them which is his usual SOP.
This made me laugh out loud, thanks …
"Gaza is just another distraction, keep your eyes on what Musk is doing ..."

look over here... not what I'm doing crap.

progtard NPR will be crippled or killed soon, so enough of that kind of woke reporting

I haven't been able to access it yet but found this one instead:
We're at war
The Dems missed the memo. They don't catch on very quick - or at least, they don't SPEAK UP quite often enough. Always so afraid of calling him out.
The rest of us are…

That these people chose to operate in the dark at odd hours tells you everything about their plans, if not the legality of their intentions.

It's all about creating havoc. If he can distract you from other nefarious (illegal) proceedings that he is orchestrating, then he wins. He needs distractions.
The markets seemed to recognize this game, and they have largely ignored his tariff …
Its going to be difficult to get our consumer protections back again in 4 years. This stunt is nothing but vindictiveness against the Dems (Senator Warren) - and hurts the American public in the name of political vanity.
Dump is a very clear and p…
This lesson from our stable genius on how NOT to handle international trade with our allies has been enlightening. If you listen closely, you can hear the circus music playing in the background.

The big Bluff was shot down. He can't really revive this, but his ego might force him to try.
Is the US border "safer" with 10K Mexican soldiers stationed there? Not confident about that one.
The ignorant orange idiot just said that tariffs against the EU are coming 'soon' .....
He really does want to blow up the world, doesn't he?
EU tariffs would be the cherry on top this next week. Final nail in the coffin. Market disruption co…

The systematic destruction of a democratic government is something we all need to watch out for as in the case of today’s Hungary.
Unfortunately, it's happening right before our eyes!
The plan was laid out by Project 2025, and that plan is being …
Got my popcorn ready. Much more (designed) chaos to come!
Totally unrelated to tariffs, but some folks are amazed to realize that they are suddenly paying more for their monthly prescriptions. Let's remind them to thank Uncle Dump! They ain't s…
What would happen if the US Government was no longer in control of its Treasury Department?

Every cult is going to have blind loyalists. FD is not alone - 40% of America is blinded by the con man.
They will defend him to the end, not matter how badly he screws this country.
paul Krugman’s substack blog predicts “ The end of North America”.
As far as I can tell, there’s a real possibility that Trump’s new tariffs will face a court challenge, and that he will lose. I’m not an expert on trade law, but I do know a bit, an…
"He (Trump) carried every state." That is a lie, but then that's the MAGAt playbook for ya.

The big bet must be that these tariffs will be pulled in short-order, otherwise I'd expect more of a market reaction than what we are seeing. The 2nd honeymoon for "47" is going to be put to the test if those tariffs remain in place.
We might al…
Excellent summary - if only the general public still read articles instead of worrying about TikTok apps.
Per Reich, the main tactics are:
1. Replace federal civil servants with Trump loyalists.
2. Take over independent decision making across gover…
Dump and his cultists = deranged
Dump is supposedly 1) an adult and 2) a US leader, but name calling is one of his finest weapons??? "Sleepy Joe", "Crooked Hillary", "Little Marco". Like a child.

Nobody seems all too concerned about Dump flushing out Federal office workers and replacing them with loyalists. A 7 or 8 month buyout might be appealing to some, but the best and brightest will be more inclined to jump ship and shift over to privat…
I didn't see how crypto could turn the tide. Apparently there were multiple strategic moves set in motion in order to create this very large crypto scam.
Strong potential to bilk the system and enrich a few at the top. But you need vision for som…
And who exactly is going to step in and challenge or prevent this illegality?
Nobody. He owns the Supreme Court and half the judges in the system. He owns the GOP. He is destabilizing our entire Democracy, removing guardrails, installing mindless…

Dump is going to push us off a cliff and into the abyss. All safeguards are casually being destroyed.

Give FOTUS a break. That golf ball he's chasing is 5x larger than his brain.
Tariffs - the wave of the future. They really do work.... at least, until somebody with any kind of clue finally calls your bluff.
Whether Jan 6th qualified as sedition or not is a legal technicality.
We watched a bunch of whackjobs killing police officers. Killing them, intent to harm others. Dump encouraged this. He is not a king, though by the letter of the law he can…
