Speaking Of “Unelected,” Elmo…

This guy sure does act like he’s the President of the United States of America.

What’s Donald even doing today?

And...

This is really what it’s all about. Nothing to do with “border security.” He is a ignorant, vengeful, demented, megalomaniacal narcissist. pic.twitter.com/CDFMxi7Bci

Yeah, what happened to “fentanyl” and “immigration” and even “border security”? This is pretty much what McCarthy did, and it took the Senate four years to stop him.

We have to find ways to blunt this (although making Canada a state is so absurd on its face…)

In the meantime, Mark Cuban makes sense:

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. 

I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. 

But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are. 

That said, I think it turns out like Colombia. They come up with an agreement quickly. It will be immaterial. 

Nothing really will change. But he declares victory and the “Tariff is the hammer, everything is the nail “ attitude doesnt change

I would rather it turn out like Colombia. But I’m not holding my breath.

Domestic Enemy Hat weighs in:

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. 

There’s not.

Which I quote mostly for the response:

You mean white Americans. 

The rest of us have been at the business end of American white supremacy long enough to know what they’re capable of.

"Never forget" covers a whole lotta ground. Time to look for allies. And to listen….
