    With Senator Bookers “fillibuster”, closed we had one to the one in the famous movie, in years.

    @2 “… the scale of what he is doing…”

    I’d say the scale of what Repukes are doing. That is better said. We are letting every Repuke off the hook if we just whine about fat Hitler.

    America can’t possibly afford universal access to healthcare.

    America couldn’t possibly afford to forgive $188 billion in student loans.

    Republicans led by Fat Hitler just wiped out $6 trillion dollars.

    For over 100 years “conservatives” have told you that “socialism” would make everyone go broke.

    Turns out they were lying their asses off.
    Again.

  8. 8

    … just wiped out $6 trillion dollars.

    Not at all. Same number of shares. They’re just exchanging hands for fewer dollars at present.

    20% share gains in 2023 followed by 20% share gains in 2024 is not a natural phenomenon. A decline should have been anticipated. It’s what the sale of call options is intended to profit from.

    Statements like yours merely express the panic you feel at present.

    Meanwhile, my side is sitting back and watching DJT47 do what he said he would do if elected, during his campaign. This is why Donald Trump kicked Boxcheck Momala’s electoral ass.

  9. 9

    What’s been wiped out isn’t $6 trillion, but rather all of that free money paid out to liberal causes which then use it to fund Democrat candidates, in exchange for even more of that free money.

    Welfare Queen YLB’s two fucked kids will be better off because of what is currently happening. Hell, I have done more to protect them than has their welfare queen momma, YLB.

    In 20 years or less, the surviving fucked child of Welfare Queen YLB will vote GOP.

    Only took DJT47 a couple of months to secure the border.

    He did it without congressional action.

    America can’t possibly afford universal access to healthcare because that would help liberals, women, minorities and LGBTQ people.

  13. 13

    Only took DJT47 a couple of months to secure the border and all it cost was gutting the federal government, a $7,000 tax increase and crashing the stock market.

  14. 14

    @ 13

    The problem with your analysis, The Even Bigger Fucking Moron , is that you think gutting the federal government is a cost.

    In reality it is a major goal. It is what a near-majority of Americans voted for.

    Elections have consequences.

  15. 15

    Elon Musk’s polygonal pickup is a polarizing sales flop that’s missed the billionaire’s volume goal by a staggering 84%. And there’s no sign that things are improving.

    In the end, Musk cursed the Cybertruck by ignoring the reasons people buy pickup trucks — to haul things around and drive well in offroad conditions. The vehicle isn’t competent at either of those things, as has been endlessly documented in scathing reviews, a steady stream of “Cybertruck fail” videos and a 280,000-member “CyberStuck” Subreddit. Adding to the embarrassment is a developing sub-genre of videos showing stymied Cybertrucks being towed to safety by Ford F-150s or GM Silverados.
    …And the whole “Destroy what good about America” thing.

    I agree with you. May they fully get what they voted for, without having Democrats save them in any way.

    Republican ‘Christians’

    Senator Jim Banks isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”.

    Jim is the proud father of three daughters and his Christian faith informs him of the sanctity of every human life. (issues, website)

    He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”.

    The job was helping people with disabilities.

    The Nazis sent deformed and retarded kids to their deaths too.

    @8 “They’re just exchanging hands for fewer dollars at present.”

    Which means Uncle Sam is collecting fewer capital gains tax dollars, which means the tanking stock market is widening the deficit, amirite?

    We have to plug that hole somehow, so we can’t afford Trump’s billionaire tax cuts anymore, don’t you agree, doc?

  23. 23

    @14 “It is what a near-majority of Americans voted for.”

    Actually it isn’t. They voted for cheaper eggs and gas. They’re going to get cheaper gas, thanks to OPEC, not DJT. And now instead of paying $7 for a dozen eggs, they’ll be paying $7 for a dozen rotten eggs, because there’s no food safety inspection anymore.

  24. 24

    @15 “the reasons people buy pickup trucks — to haul things around and drive well in offroad conditions”

    Actually not. Most pickups are sold to city dwellers, very few of whom ever drive on dirt roads, much less go offroad. And while the ability to haul things is useful at times, the real reason people drop loads of cash on overpriced behemoth pickups is they’re the biggest, baddest thing out there in the Freeway Arms Race. They’re great for intimidating Prius drivers. They’re the ideal platform for flying Trump flags. You can’t hang a gun rack in the back window of an SUV. The Cybertruck isn’t good at any of these things, except maybe squashing Priuses. And have you ever seen anybody roll coal with a Tesla?

  25. 25

    @17 Hardly. As long as the sun shines and grass grows, rabbits will eat. And as you pointed out yourself, I still own the same number of shares. This is a hell of an opportunity to pick up cheap shares.

  26. 26

    @ 22

    We have to plug that hole somehow, so we can’t afford Trump’s billionaire tax cuts anymore, don’t you agree, doc?

    Not without also restoring the SALT deduction, in full. So that Blue State better-offs can take a full deduction for their property taxes and sales taxes.

    Washington State, too. Building a $1M house here runs $65,000 – 104,000 in sales taxes, depending on the county. Imagine being able to deduct all of that sales tax expense from your federal return.

    Of course, you cannot imagine it, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit. You and your sad family need a discount coupon to be able to purchase a can of Progresso instead of Western Family.

  27. 27

    Get a load of Doctor Dumbfuck pooh-poohing falling stock prices @8 and then labeling them “devastating” @17. He flipflops like Lindsay Graham and J. D. Vance: At high speed.

    Since I live on about a third of my income, I have to place cash in investments every single month, and falling stock prices are great for stock buyers like me.

    Warren Buffett, widely acknowledged as the greatest investor of all time, famously said he wouldn’t mind if stock prices never went up, because he never sells.

    Who am I to question his investing wisdom? Who is Doctor Dumbfuck to second-guess the great Warren?

  28. 28

    In a few months Democrats will count as a “win” the restoration of SALT deductibility.

    So in addition to the extension of the 2017 Trump tax cuts, the better off in high-tax states will get yet another tax cut, courtesy of a Democrat party desperate to claim something as a victory.

    I am certainly OK with that.

  29. 29

    @26 Look who’s panhandling for a mortgage deduction. Which is useless to me, because I don’t have a mortgage. My digs are paid off. What’s more, even after the market meltdown, I still don’t have to count my burrow equity to get to a seven-figure net worth.

  30. 30

    @ 22

    Which means Uncle Sam is collecting fewer capital gains tax dollars, which means the tanking stock market is widening the deficit, amirite?

    Not if the federal government spends less.

  32. 32

    @30 That’s a great idea! Let’s cut the spending Republicans want, starting with Pentagon procurement. Everyone needs to take a haircut, not just “woke” stuff like school lunches and daycare. I was going to add farm subsidies, too, but we won’t eat if we bankrupt the farmers, and Trump’s policies will bankrupt the farmers if taxpayers don’t fill in the holes in their bottom lines.

  34. 34

    @ 31

    Why, I believe so.

    You go right ahead and believe that. The reality is that the Freedom Caucus members will vote No, so the only way the bill passes is with Yes votes from Democrat reps from states like NY, CT, NJ, and CA.

    Those Democrat votes will materialize. Because the reps are in safe districts.

    So everybody wins – Blue State GOP, Blue State Dem congress critters, DJT47, we better off residents who pay a lot of SALT.

    Make that everybody but Welfare Queen YLB’s fucked kids and the Dumbfuck Rabbit family.

    The wealth gap rises, and those of us on the correct side of it laugh all the way to our brokers.

    Statements like yours merely express the panic you feel at present.

    I’m not a Boomer retiree watching 10% of value I was depending on disappear in just one week. Nor am I a Boomer retiree pondering the potential for such declines to continue for weeks to come and struggling to calculate how many weeks that will take to leave me with nothing. Nor am I the crushed and despondent Millennial facing runaway inflation and rising interest rates while my employer is circulating memos about staff and expense reductions.

    I’m a fat and happy GenX in my peak earning years in a very stable, recession proof profession. I’ve got plenty of gainful years of earning well still ahead of me with no plans or need to touch any part of my savings and investments for a long, long time. I make very little to no use of government services. I’m not dependent on a shrinking trust fund. Nobody sends me any checks other than my paycheck. I’m not at all fond of cars. I’ve got more clothes than I can ever wear. And depending on how things go, I might just look at selling some of my cellar. Being fond of overseas travel, Im looking forward to rising buying power abroad. Why not drink Burgundy in Burgundy and Sangio in Tuscany?

    But don’t worry.
    Being a liberal I do feel some real sincere sympathy for what all you folks on fixed incomes will be going through for the next few years as Fat Hitler fucks you in the ass.

    Yes indeed. Elections do have consequences.
    A phrase I find myself repeating more and more often every time a Boomer starts pissing in my ear about egg prices.

    On POS Biden’s last day in office, the 10-year Treasury opened at 4.62%.

    Yesterday it closed at 4.00%.

    Spend less, retain more, and creditworthiness improves. Investors will accept less interest in exchange for purchasing US debt.

    “Tourism to Yellowstone typically starts in March for the north entrance and ramps up by mid-April, when the west entrance road into the park opens. So far, Gardiner is experiencing a worrisome start, according to Chester Evitt, the owner of Mama Bear’s Armory, a local gunsmith and outdoor gear shop. ESAU said he has had only a handful of customers since January, forcing hint to use his disability checks from his time as a combat veteran to pay the shop rent.

    Evitt said that he and his family voted for Trump, but if he could take his vote back now he would.

    ‘I’ve been alive for 11 presidents and I haven’t seen one that has been as destructive as this one,” said Evitt. “These cuts are affecting our little town more than the 500-year flood.”

    Evitt said that he tried to go to the local bank to get a loan to help him make it to May, but when he arrived, there were several other business owners there for the same reason. The bank told all of them that it couldn’t offer any monetary assistance until things were more certain.”

    The Justice Department has placed on indefinite paid leave the attorney who argued on behalf of the government on Friday in a lawsuit brought by a Maryland man who was deported to El Salvador in error, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

    Sources said Erez Reuveni, the acting deputy director for the Office of Immigration Litigation, was told by officials at the DOJ that he was being placed on leave over a “failure to zealously advocate” for the government’s interests.

    “At my direction, every Department of Justice attorney is required to zealously advocate on behalf of the United States,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement on Saturday. “Any attorney who fails to abide by this direction will face consequences.”

    https://www.aol.com/news/doj-places-attorney-leave-struggling-222208675.html

    They sent him to court without the information the judge wanted. What did she expect him to do? Tell the judge to take a hike? Make shit up? Lie to the judge?

    Trump’s tariff plan on Wednesday came much harder than expected, as he announced a minimum 10% levy on all exporters to the US and slapped additional duties on nations with big trade imbalances. The move escalated global trade tensions and sent investors rushing for safe havens.

    The response in bond markets was sharp. European and US yields tanked across the board as investors spurned riskier assets. Ten-year yields plunged below 4% on Thursday before edging back to 4.03%. Two-year yields were down about 15 basis points to 3.7%.

    Hamas itself killed 2,000 Gazans. Think friendly fire, retribution, hiding behind hostages, firing from civilian areas.

    All this war and Israel has barely killed more Gazan civilians than it has Hamas militants.

    the comments that got the guy suspended.

    As I keep saying, read the transcripts.

    The Nazi Fucktard doesn’t know it, but in the federal system each judge is empowered to publish and modify their own standing orders for their own court. And any attorney who applies to appear in that court is obligated to abide by those orders during that appearance. That makes give each judge tremendous authority over any individual attorney appearing in their court. Actually and literally more authority over a DOJ attorney in that moment than the AG. And as I also keep saying, the strategy that Bondi seems to be pursuing in these cases is to stonewall. That eventually catches up to you when you aren’t really in charge.

    Reuveni was promoted into this position just two weeks ago, immediately before the case commenced. Last week in a filing that was compelled, the DOJ admitted that Abrego Garcia’s deportation was unsupported by any evidence and appeared to be another racist ICE fuckup. The deportee is a legal resident of the U.S. with no criminal record anywere and no affiliations to anything and no tattoos either. That being the case the government was faced with producing some kind of evidence that would support his removal and they could not. The judge was attempting to maneuver this shit stain Reuveni into admitting that the government could offer no reason why she should not order his return. Reuveni attempted various dodges and she grew impatient. The judge raised the stakes, and threatened that without some evidence of some kind she would find for the moving party and issue the order. Reuveni tried a Hail Mary and begged for more time to try and convince Bondi to produce “whatever documents are availalbe” to support her claim that Garcia is MS-13 (now he’s MS-13, but before he was TdA. The evidence is apparently “fluid”).
    Judge refused. Issued the order. And now Bondi has to switch game plans again and attempt to argue to the 4th that the Maryland District lacks habeas jurisdicition. Unfortunately CJ Roberts himself issued the precedent ruling granting habeas jurisdiction over US detainees in foreign custody in 2008.

    So she’s making Reuveni the fall guy in front of Fat Hitler. And now that every single senior attorney in the department knows what the deal is, she can assume they will behave accordingly and go get a positive COVID test tomorrow.

    @56. They came out in defense of national parks and small businesses, public education and health care for veterans, abortion rights and fair elections. They marched against tariffs and oligarchs, dark money and fascism, the deportation of legal immigrants and the Department of Government Efficiency.

    When it’s non violent, it’s weak-sauce but if there is a hint of violence, it’s domestic terrorism. I expect he was salivating the peaceful protests might turn violent somewhere, anywhere, so musk/trump would have a fig leaf to declare national martial law.

  62. 62

    BTW, it was one of Fat Hitler’s own immigration judges who initially heard and granted Garcia’s order for witholding of removal back in 2019.

    Stephen Miller issued a quota. And ICE impatiently and carelessly dug through incomplete and poorly maintained records to produce a list of names then rushed out and swept up the names.

    Of course it was illegal. How do you know?
    Because four days ago the government stopped arguing that it wasn’t illegal and began arguing that the court lacked jurisdiciton.

    Iran abandons Houthis under relentless US bombardment

    Iran has ordered military personnel to leave Yemen, abandoning its Houthi allies as the US escalates an air strike campaign against the rebel group.

    The official said Iran was also scaling back its strategy of supporting a network of regional proxies to focus on the direct threats from the US instead.

    Tehran’s primary concern, the source said, was “Trump and how to deal with him”.

    You will recall that Biden removed the Houthis from the terror list.

    DJT47’s success is why Democrats jumped on the Signal kerfluffle. Otherwise it is difficult to avoid the comparison between Biden’s incredibly weak idiocy and DJT47’s successful approach.

    @77 “Donnie’s playing Candyland while Opec plays chess”

    Nowhere is this more evident than when he sent Jared to find him a tariff policy, Jared perused books on Amazon, came up with one by Peter Navarro that quoted an economist named Ron Vara whose ideas Trump latched onto, and the result is the destruction of the entire post-World War 2 economic order.

    I know the dumbfuck doctor reads Barrons magazine, and he probably knows who Ed Yardeni is (the most quoted economist on Wall Street), so he probably saw this:

    “It’s a pity to see the administration take a perfectly good economy and hit it with a wrecking ball,” says Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research.

    — Barrons magazine, April 7, 2025, print edition, at the top of page 6.

    That, in one sentence, sums up the stunning stupidity and incompetence that Doctor Dumbfuck and his fellow dumbfucks voted into power last November.

    I’m an Android person. But I’ll share what I know about Apple phones.

    Current models in release range in price from $599 to $1,599 (Wow😲).

    If Apple passes along the full cost of the senseless, irrational Republican 43% tariffs the $1,599 model would rise to $2,300. Math is a tyrant like that.

    Some speculate that Apple and their suppliers can somehow absorb these costs, and that’s probably true to some extent. But even highly profitable companies like Apple rely on financing, budgets, and financial planning. And while it’s likely that Apple and other similarly situated manufacturers took steps in anticipation of some kind of tariffs, it’s unlikely that they relied for their 2025 financial plans on a 43% worst case scenario.

    Moreover, it’s not at all realistic to pretend that these manufacturers can go forward into the future indefinitely selling at a small net loss and without toilet paper in the company bathrooms. And even the more skeptical analysts admit this. So they suggest then that Fat Hitler will soon relax the most punitive of his tariffs by “working out a deal”.

    But if that’s truly the case it pretty effectively shits all over the stupid Nazi Fucktard’s idiot fantasies about a boom in domestic manufacturing. Obviously for that to happen steep tariffs would have to be maintained for years, not weeks or months.

    And if that’s really the case, then not only is the Nazi Fucktard full of shit (again) but it also means that he is watching his family real estate trust collapse by 25% this year for nothing.

    denying a trial to a class of immigrants who are not entitled to a judicial trial

    Garcia’s trial in 2019, at which he was granted a permanent order staying his removal, was presided over by an immigration magistrate hired by Fat Hitler.

    Fat Hitler has already confessed in the court record, that Garcia’s kidnapping and trafficking to a US contract torture facility operating in El Salvador was rushed and occurred because of “an administrative error”.

    So in fact Garcia is not entitled to any new trial at all, whatever the cost or the political leanings of the judge or magistrate. However, what the rule of law requires is that the fascist Republican terror state abide by the results of its own magisterial due process in its own immigration proceedings.

    Obey your own lawful magisterial order withholding Garcia’s removal and remedy your own administrative errors resulting in his removal.

    And so, as a respectful and admiring trade partner with the United States we are here to help. For that reason, and going forward in the spirit of cooperation, we will be imposing a 40% tariff on all U.S. exports of financial services, software services, engineering services, health and medical services, copyright and intellectual property, tourism and travel, transportation, and import/export services with the sincere objective of easing the U.S. economic transition away from these areas and towards their bright future installing small fasteners into consumer products and tending enormous flocks of sheep.

    Prediction: Companies will announce huge investments in the US to avoid tariffs but never actually spend the money

    If I were a manufacturer outside the US, the tariffs would potentially be ruinous for me, so I’m going to want to look for ways to make a deal with Trump. I’d happily announce I’ll invest millions or billions in the US if that’s what it takes for Trump to give me an exception, but then I’d go as slowly as possible building the actual factories so I spend as little as possible, hoping I never actually have to spend the money. “Still planning”. “Complicated to build such an advanced factory!”. Etc. I’d be especially careful since I don’t know how long the tariffs will last, so I don’t actually want to make a big investment in the US that may eventually be useless.

    Early this morning Judge Xinis published her response to Fat Hitler’s response to her Friday ruling. She affirms her Friday ruling and reitterates her Monday midnight deadline for Garcia to be returned to the United States. With less than 36 hours to go it’s very clear that Fat Hitler will defy this order if he is unable to obtain a stay from the 4th Circuit. That motion for a stay is currently before the 4th and the plaintiff’s response to that motion was timely filed yesterday afternoon. In its own filing to the 4th seeking that stay the government has conceded that the order it has executed to remove Mr. Garcia was unlawful. Nevertheless, according to the government the “execution” of that unlawful “removal order” “strips district courts of jurisdiction” in any suit challenging that unlawful order.

    If that sounds preposterous, that’s because it is. And being preposterous, absurd, and entirely unmoored from any law or any binding precedent the government unsurprisingly has offered absolutely zero, zilch, nada citations in support of that silly claim. They just threw it out there and let it hang.

    Finally the government rests it’s entire motion on the quite obviously false argument that Garcia’s claims exclusively “sound in habeas” and are therefore beyond the court’s power to remedy because he is “not in United States custody.” The plaintiff responds that this is false, and that Garcia does not challenge his confinement in particular but rather that he challenges his removal, which the government itself has conceded was and is unlawful. Garcia’s complaint is rooted in due process, the administrative procedures act, the immigration and naturalization act, and yes, lastly in habeas. And while the government’s arguments to deny habeas jurisidiction to the district court fail, even if they were to succeed, that still leaves Garcia a free man with a legal claim to U.S. residency living in El Salvador because of that unlawful removal. His current state of detention in El Salvador is predicated on the Fat Hitler paying for it, which the Fat Hitler admits. Thus, as soon as that ends, the only thing preventing his return would be plane fare and a U.S. customs official. I’ll gladly buy. But I’ll probably have to stand in line. And anyway, this is Fat Hitler’s fault. He should pay.

    Fat Hitler has three appointees to the 4th. None of them assigned to Maryland. They often do not publish opinions for precedent. I expect that in this case as well. But I also expect the decision by tomorrow morning at the latest.

    @87 “If Apple passes along the full cost of the senseless, irrational Republican 43% tariffs the $1,599 model would rise to $2,300. Math is a tyrant like that.”

    I wonder if that’s correct. While virtually all media sources are assuming a 43% increase in retail prices, it seems to me the tariff would be on the landing value at the port, not the ultimate retail value.

    For example, if I’m a banana importer who pays 60 cents a pound to the exporter, and I sell the bananas to a grocery chain that charges retail customers 89 cents a pound, and a 25% tariff is put on bananas, the tariff should be 15 cents a pound, not 22¼ cents a pound.

    @87 This is what Barrons said about Apple, and I’m pretty sure Doctor Dumbfuck has already read it, since he claims to subscribe to Barrons:

    All of Big Tech is feeling the heat from President Donald Trump’s latest tariffs and the escalating global trade war. But no company is in a tougher spot than Apple. …

    Apple faces battles on several fronts … 64% of Apple’s fiscal 2024 revenue came from outside the U.S., a fairly static figure over the last decade. In other words, the majority of Apple customers live in foreign countries that may now impose their own tariffs. Apple, arguably the greatest symbol of American innovation, is a clear target. …

    This isn’t just about iPhones and Mac sales. Countries may also retaliate by taxing services, what’s known as a digital services tax. … These taxes would directly impact Apple’s services segment, the company’s second-largest unit, its fastest grower, and the home of a 74% gross margin. …

    Apple’s largest risk from a trade war may not even be quantifiable. A nationalist backlash across the world could lead to boycotts of leading U.S. brands. Apple, along with companies such as Nike, Coca-Cola, and McDonald’s, are likely to be at the top of the list. …

    In its warning about geopolitical risks, Apple spends even more time on supply challenges — and for good reason …. Restrictions on international trade, such as tariffs … can materially adversely affect the Company’s … supply chain.

    No, because Trump’s tariffs are based on trade deficits, not their tariffs. Trump won’t lift his tariffs on Vietnam as long as we import more from them than they import from us. That means, among other things, Apple can’t avoid tariffs by moving iPhone production from China to Vietnam. Or any other foreign country.

  137. 137

    although doing so makes you wonder why Vietnam is in such a hurry

    Because in response to Vietnam’s 1% tariff on US imports the Fat Hitler Economic Clown College imposed a 47% tariff on Vietnamese imports to the US. And as the Nazi Fucktard kindly pointed out, being rather poor, Vietnam imports very little from the US and likely never will. So dropping the 1% is a small tradeoff. They lose a few million dollars in customs revenue in exchange for continuing access to an enormous market for sparkly Christmas ornaments, rubber bath mats, and plastic patio furniture.
