Not like they were going to get any help from this administration anyway.

I'm glad I'm not one if the people who has to defend this administration in court. They can't go one fucking day without publicly contradicting their own court filings. The amount of contortions their lawyers have to do to try to avoid getting trapped in a no win scenario is hilarious.

If it were me, I'd probably be the first member of the administration to get sent to El Salvador after losing it and blurting out "why can't you shut your goddamn dick holster for one fucking day you stupid asshole‽" in a meeting.

And yet, they are even more incompetent than that. Because even if we go along with the idea that all trade deficits are bad, that still wouldn't explain why they would put tariffs on the countries where we already have a trade surplus.

The real question is what they should have done with the blue ranger. All I can think of is David Carradine.

If only he'd sent war plans, he could have just shrugged and moved on like nothing happened.

The MAGA platform is inherently hateful, bigoted, selfish and shortsighted. It is lead by greedy amoral narcissists and sociopaths and preaches contempt for law, ethics and personal integrity. All issues are a matter of us vs them, so when one of us does something that gets called out by them, the problem is with them calling one of us out.

Anyone who is still a MAGA supporter has already excused the inexcusable more times than they can count. Those with a moral compass left a long time ago. Sure, there will be people who barely pay attention and who are genuinely ignorant of what the party they support is actually doing. But those people aren't the ones running for office or actively participating in political organizations.

Sure, rural areas with fewer employers and less diverse economies will have trouble adapting, but at least all the programs that help people through hard times are getting defunded and shut down.

Lying about testing a product in order to get people to buy it so you can get your affiliate revenue sounds like fraud to me. Seems like the kind of thing that should lead to lawsuits and potentially criminal charges. Not that anyone would actually try to do something about this or most other problems facing consumers.
