Headline: Trump's IRS Pick Had Some Interesting People Pay Off His Personal Debt

Subhed: Billy Long received quite a bit of money after Trump picked him to lead the Internal Revenue Service.

And the acting commissioner (for 2 days) was that douchebag Gary Shapley that tried to be a "whistleblower" on Hunter Biden.

Apparently Bessent was not amused.

Pentagon looks like a mess. Who would have thunk it. My cuts. Full article is linked.

Joe Kasper, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s chief of staff will leave his role in the coming days for a new position at the agency, according to a senior administration official, amid a week of turmoil for the Pentagon.

Kasper had requested an investigation into Pentagon leaks in March, which included military operational plans for the Panama Canal, a second carrier headed to the Red Sea, Musk’s visit and a pause in the collection of intelligence for Ukraine.

The changes will leave Hegseth without a chief of staff, deputy chief of staff, or senior adviser in his front office.

“There is a complete meltdown in the building, and this is really reflecting on the secretary’s leadership,” said a senior defense official. “Pete Hegseth has surrounded himself with some people who don’t have his interests at heart.”

This week’s terminations follow a purge of top military officers in February, including former Joint Chiefs Chair Gen. C.Q. Brown and Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti.

“There probably will be more chaos,” said a third defense official. “It certainly reinforces the fear factor, awareness that no one’s job is safe.”

In order to observe the full theatre effect you need to produce that figure in two panels: a. China and b. All others.

lol, another one Ana was positive about because of some shit he said on a podcast.  
 

We are in full-on Kremlin mode. “The tsar is kind and gracious, yet over-burdened and reliant on scheming advisors. If only I could elevate my petition to the tsar I might receive justice.”

Please do. You are nothing but bluster. The timelines just don't pencil out. The only potential roadmap I could see to even a starting point of a good robust study in that timeframe would be leveraging the FDA Sentinel system. 

Why are you just assuming that a good robust study is the objective of the initiative?

What the fuck does that have to do with anything?  Broad based, long term tariffs are stupid.  Stupid people like them.  Stupid people defend those stupid people.

Individual levels of sister fucking among SEC schools.

Texas 0%

Aggy 25%

OU 150%

Alabama 150%

Vandy, Tenn, UK, Auburn, Mizz, Ole Miss, MSU, Georgia, USC, UF, Piggy, LSU - 10% each

 

Aggregate level of SEC sister fucking: 27.8%

 

The extremely high, performative tariffs being placed on China is on main stage in the theatre. There is also the factor of weighting how much we bring in from each of those countries, but that's the gist of the point.

What you don’t understand is that 

1) it’s aggregated in the graph and 

2) it makes your point even weaker

this is basically you right now:

Best 😆 Laughing GIFs - find & share on Gifer

 

Let me try another way. That chart is based on one of the Budget Lab at Yale analyses, right?  Here is the effective tariff rates disaggregated: 

China - 99.4%

Canada - 17.4%

Mexico - 15.1%

Rest of the World - 11.2%

I think that the "fentanyl" tariffs are stupid, but the primary target here it is pretty clear. As I mentioned last page, I think this is all short-term bluster to set up a new trade framework, particularly with China. And I am ok with running that play. American consumerism may have to recalibrate.  

Anyways, Happy Easter buddy. If you want to take this up further in one of the tariffs threads next week, happy to do so.

My lord, I swore off feeding the troll, but this one is just too much. This is one of the dumbest things you’ve ever posted and that’s saying something since there’s such a vast catalog to choose from. Congrats, my man, on this grand achievement.

The real question is why you are engaging with a known troll.  Put anaphylaxis on ignore where it belongs🍊

It’s a codependent relationship.

Reasonable people might think stupid people engage in prolonged debate with those stupid people.
