The Trump Presidency 2.0

Don't worry, the folks not getting enough legislation done during this very fleeting period where they have the levers of power took some valuable time to bicker via Fox. Great job, everyone.

If she can hold onto an (R) seat in a contested NY district, that's where she needs to stay. Forget UN Ambassador. And definitely don't run for NY State governor, an (R) isn't going to win here anytime soon and probably not in my lifetime. There are too many (D)s in the big cities for an (R) to win a statewide election for .gov.
 
I will say, Eggs are starting to com down slightly. I didn't buy another 5-dozen at Costco yet. But the Dozen and a half only cost $10 at the regular grocer. So we're getting places.
 
Democratic State Representative Nick Shultz looks like he touches little boys.

To clarify - I am in no way suggesting that he does anything illegal, unethical, immoral, or fattening - I'm just saying that based on the picture from the Libs-of-Tik Tok post - he "looks" like he touches little boys.
 
So, uh, these are some numbers I guess? There is no defending the media at this point. I would love some neutral coverage, doesn't need to be positive, especially if there are scandals.

How much negative press did Joe Biden get during the AFG retreat? Bet it wasn't 90%.


People wonder why Hegseth and Parnell aren't holding press conferences and doing updates via twitter. . .well I can see why.
 
This is the only thing in relation to tariffs that I care about- China's yuan has bottomed out (worst since 2007). They're overleveraged in real estate and propping up their fake economic power, have been for decades. China (who routinely flouts WTO rules and is the worst actor on the world stage in trade) even went as far as filing a complaint over the tariffs. Very rich.

I'll take a page out of the left's book here (thanks to unfunny activist Stephen Colbert)- "I'll happily pay the increase in cost to hurt China now and in the future."

I don't care about you Temu order. I do care about the impact of folks losing their jobs, taking pay cuts, or otherwise being affected by the tariffs, cause I am an asshole, but I am not a scumbag. But with all that being said- if these tariffs are the economic dagger they're looking like, I am willing to accept some breakage and short term pain in return for an American economic resurgance and re-establishment of the gorilla in the room for decades to come.

So what happens when he doesn't?
When he doesn't... what? Resign? I think this was a "you're fired if you don't resign" scenario, and Waltz will spin it into something like Gaetz- "It was made clear that I was distracting from all the great work this admin is doing, thank you president Trump for the opportunity, I look forward to making millions as some other NGO in the future."

All the reporting is saying Waltz and Alex Wong resigned and they're out. I was not a fan of Waltz from the start of his tenure, albeit short. Hawkish on Iran, insiders reported that he was adversarial to Hegseth. I said it from the very beginning of SignalNothingburger that he should go.

While I don't think his letter is public and his X account doesn't have a statement, I think this one is done and dusted. Gives the liberal white women a firing over the event, Hegseth doesn't get fired, issue over.
