Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts




Wikipedia entry


  • More flip-flops on tariffs yesterday as Canada retaliated, Trump retaliated back, and then both sides backed down. But this morning the European Union has entered the fray since Trump's 25% steel and aluminum tariffs went into effect at midnight.  I have no idea why Trump wants to self-inflict this gunshot to the U.S. economy. 
  • Sheesh.
     
  • Trump turned into Clay Cooley yesterday as he tried to sell Teslas in front of the White House with Elon by his side. It's Idiocracy once again. 


    • Seriously, he was trying to actually sell cars (as captured by this Gettys photo.) It's corruption at a dystopian level.  

    • Fox News' Peter Doocy better be careful or he's going to get fired for questions like this and this.


  • Since Congress is the only way to completely eliminate a Department, the Administration has found a work around: Just fire all the employees. 

  • The Texas Voucher Scam bill is being debated in committee, but that committee went all night to try and get the hearing over with before the outcry grows louder.


  • Update.

  • That's what I've been thinking. 

    • For those who care: As predicted, government filings from yesterday reveal that he was immediately moved to Louisiana so that the government can make the claim that no New York judge has jurisdiction over the case. 
  • I think this is a way of saying that so many people have died in his jail that he can't keep up with them all.
  • How many other times has he (1) rejected a case on a Sunday, (2) when the case hadn't even been presented to his office yet, and (3) where the arrest was less than 24 hours ago?

  • And just as I'm about to hit "publish", I see this: "TORONTO (AP) — AP sources say Canada will announce more than $20 billion in retaliatory tariffs in response to Trump's metal tariffs."
