Failed businessman, failed conman, and convicted felon who was certain to also be convicted of crimes against the United States if Garland wasn't an enormous pussy. And a world class asshole who was obviously only running to avoid prison. Who's made no secret of wanting to fuck his own daughter. 

I'll never get over his reelection. It's just so fucking incomprehensibly stupid. 

Don't know about that. seems like a pretty successful conman.

Chalk up another big win for America, per the folks at Goldman Sachs:

Destroy tourism income.

Destroy numerous small businesses in the US.

Destroy the value of the dollar.

Destroy the marketability of US debt.

Crash the stock market.

 

Quite the fucking winning streak there.

Well I was thinking he was a failed conman (Trump steaks, Trump U, all of those grifts) until this dumbass country elected him. But upon further review, I guess that wouldn't have happened if he hadn't conned pop culture into believing he was some master negotiator and businessman as seen on "reality" TV.

On the plus side, some regarded asshole gets to call people regarded again at work. 

The fact that all of this actually horrible shit is happening in large part because people just couldn't take hearing about the preferred pronouns of a tiny population of people for one more goddamn second is actually kind of hilarious if you disocciate enough.

Just noting the dollar continuing its free-fall.  It's now up to $1.33 to buy a GBP.

Yes, for a dumbass like me that considered moving enough money for a home purchase to my account in Portugal in January when the Euro was $1.03 but wasn't quite ready, I'm reaaaaally enjoying seeing it close today at $1.14. I guess we're collateral damage at the leopard feast, but I can live with that as long as they keep feasting on all the deserving juicy faces they need to get through.

Accurate. I’ve been working my ass off the last month to make sure I keep my job and it’s a fucking beating trying to keep up with the political shenanigans.

I get to have a sit-down with my parents Friday a week after my sister did the same thing with them. Apparently, and unsurprisingly, my mother's #1 priority was immigration. Why a 67 year-old retired woman who lives in Sun City is concerned with immigration above all else, I just don't know. Well, other than the racism.

And guess which "informed voter" was completely unaware of Trump sabotaging Biden's border bill?

The ECB is expected to cut interest rates for the 7th time, and yet, “Too Late” Jerome Powell of the Fed, who is always TOO LATE AND WRONG, yesterday issued a report which was another, and typical, complete “mess!” Oil prices are down, groceries (even eggs!) are down, and the USA is getting RICH ON TARIFFS. Too Late should have lowered Interest Rates, like the ECB, long ago, but he should certainly lower them now. Powell’s termination cannot come fast enough!

It really seems like these big dollar donors to Trump from the energy sector would have already explained to him the issue when oil prices get too low. Then again, this is Trump. His 3rd grade understanding of international markets and economies probably wouldn't allow that to sink in.

If the economy is booming and everything is going great...why should the Fed cut interest rates? Isn't that the opposite of what it should do?

And I have never heard of tariffs as a way for a country to enrich itself but I learn more fascinating economics every day.
