- This cannot be emphasized enough
- Such a simple concept, but obviously one beyond the comprehension of a small section of our country
- Reposted by FergusYou can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.
- Reposted by FergusWe told the truth about who he is. It has nothing to do with any other Italian or person of Italian descent. He was a mass-murderer, thief, enslaver, torturer, and incompetent governor who was despised by his own men & fellow officers and died penniless after being imprisoned.
- Our Mega friends are now good with kidnapping. At what point do they feel enough is enough? It must be causing ulcers in some people to try and justify this.
- Trump dozed off at the Pope’s funeral, guess even a eulogy about humility couldn’t keep him awake.
- How any American can support this is beyond my comprehension.
- Many hardworking people don’t have the luxury of studying economics yet global financial shifts will impact their jobs, prices, and savings in the next 4–6 months. Ignoring these cycles won’t stop them—but understanding the basics can help
- Is the current administration thinking: Do we double down on tariffs to really test how high prices can go, or do we admit that maybe—just maybe—trade should involve actual trade-offs? Stay tuned for the next episode of "Economic Policies Written by People Who Failed Econ 101”

- Due process is the foundation of freedom and without it, it is modern day slavery.
- This is the simple truth
- Completely agree. The mud being thrown by this administration to confuse people is outrageous and shows a complete lack of a moral compass
- If you have any empathy towards your fellow human beings, how can you be good with this?
- A ‘landslide’ requires more than cherry-picked maps and amplified swing-state margins. It’s like calling a drizzle a hurricane because you really needed rain

- This wouldn’t be the first time economic policy favored the 1% — but if true, it’s one of the most brazen schemes yet. The real question: Was this incompetence… or manipulation?
- 45’s sudden decision to delay certain tariffs for 90 days reveals a critical flaw in his trade war approach: bluster without a real endgame. After months of tough talk and market turmoil, this pause signals that his administration overplayed its hand and is now scrambling to avoid economic fallout
- Trump misjudged China’s resolve, overestimated his influence on the Fed, and now faces a self-inflicted economic storm. Tax cuts might soften the blow, but they won’t offset the damage from a spiraling trade war. Buckle up—this will get ugly.
- China’s strategy spans decades, not election cycles. While the we flip policies every 4-8 years, China plays chess. Tariffs are a speed bump, not a wall. Unless this administration starts playing the long game, the 22nd century writes itself and it’s not good for us. www.bbc.com/news/live/cp...
- Trading on inside info isn’t ‘genius’—it’s what Martha Stewart went to jail for. But in MAGA world? It’s just Tuesday. This Republic administration is an abomination.
- Are investors clinging to whispers that Trump’s team might soften its stance. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent teased “good deals” if countries come to the table, sparking relief—even though tariffs remain in place. I really hope this administration knows what it’s doing, but I suspect they do not.
- This rally is fragile. 45’s tariffs haven’t vanished, and recession risks loom. But for today? Markets inhaled hopium. Stay tuned—volatility isn’t done yet.
- What is going on with the stock market today? Are we dealing with a dead cat bounce or a real recovery? If tariff talks materialize, markets could stabilize. If not? Hold onto your portfolios.
- 45’s media company, TMTG, filed to sell over 142 million shares including Trump’s 114-million-share stake (worth ~$2.3 billion)—just one day before he announced sweeping global tariffs on April 2, 2025. This is insider trading at it’s worst. This Republican administration is an abomination.
- In a move that’s basically the trade war version of a playground standoff, 45 just slapped an extra 50% tariff on China because they dared to keep their own tariffs. That’s right— this is no longer economics, it’s a full-blown "my economy can beat up your economy" flex. www.bbc.com/news/article...
- If the Supreme Court don’t enforce due process, there are literally allowing modern day slavery. This Republican administration is an abomination.

- Trump’s deal to deport hundreds of migrants (many with no criminal records) to El Salvador’s CECOT mega-prison —where they’re forced into unpaid labor under "Zero Idleness" programs—checks all the boxes of modern-day slavery. This administration is despicable.
- The short sightedness of the current hedge hammer approach to tariffs is breathtaking
- The funniest part? Russia thinks Americans are organized enough to pull off a secret revolution. Bold assumption.
- Musk out here playing ‘SimCity’ with the global economy while Trump's over here playing ‘Call of Duty: Trade War’. Somebody get these two in the same room (with a working smoke detector).

- The hypocrisy stinks
- Love this comparison, the economic equivalent of shooting yourself in the knees… then bragging about how fast you limp
- This insight is only going to accelerate over the next few weeks and months. The world, for very good reasons, is very angry with us and will take our nation a long time to recover from.
- The unfortunate truth we are partly in this situation because of Joe. He should have held a leadership election after the 2022 mid terms and not handed a poison pill to Kamala.
- I know history can’t always predict the future, but in certain cases like this, it gives you a fairly good idea of the outcome. It would require some degree of a logical mindset, however, to take advantage of it.
- What is a national media enterprise giving this oxygen. You are your own worst enemy.
