Skeets Of The Day

 

Trump's tariffs --

 

Raising the price of prescription drugs to pay for tax cuts for the rich and racism. Republicans governing. Good job, America.

Am I the only one noting that after demonizing China for years, Trump seems to be letting them off lightly, while going full tilt against Canada? Is it Musk's business interests? Have Chinese players been buying Trumpcoin?

Aha!!! See, tariffs won’t cause inflation to spike if they tank the economy first!

First Trump releases the cop beaters, then he goes after the good guys --

 

Fired Jan. 6 prosecutors were told they were terminated "based upon your actions in the prosecution of persons relating to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021," and cited Trump calling it a "grave national injustice."

Trump's autocratic goals, implemented by unelected co-President Musk --

 

This makes more sense when you remember 3 things: 1. He doesn’t want people who do their jobs, only what he tells them to do. 2. He wants to privatize everything so he can give contracts to his friends and donors. 3. Less oversight means he can get away with more.

i think an important thing for people outside the US to understand is that elon musk seized control of the government today and most americans don’t even realize it happened.

"It does not matter that he is an ally of the President. Musk is a private citizen taking control of established government offices. That is not efficiency; that is a coup."

The last time people underestimated the authoritarian threat. We're living through the same cycle again.

What's that Musk-y smell?  Co- President shakes down private sector --

 

Elon just filed his proposed second amended complaint, asking for "treble damages" for companies illegally [checks notes] not advertising on X... The level of entitlement is insane. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump's faucet of falsehood opened up in California --


This should be 25th amendment level conduct. The president ordered water to be released from a random dam in California nowhere near the wildfires and then claimed it would help. That’s literally Mad King behavior.

While his priorities are looting and revenge, I wonder if we’ll see more stuff like this amped-up version of his Covid moment where he suggested putting disinfecting light inside the body, thinking he was a genius. Echoes of Stalin’s letters to the editor on linguistics, or Mao’s War on Sparrows.

There is no bottom to the MF's depravity -- 


There’s no bottom. Less than two hours after the plane crash in Philadelphia—and just 48 hours after the deadly midair collision in D.C.—the Grifter-in-Chief took to Truth Social to pump his shitcoin scam. Absolutely disgusting.

A touching story (satire) --
