Money madness: maybe the china tariff ain’t high enough; and republicans are already suffering from premature celebration

If a 104% tariff isn't enough to stop the temu ads from littering my phone, then make it... let's say a 1040% tariff, it's that time of year, after all.

Not that it matters. The one-big-ugly-bill will raise the debt ceiling over $40 trillion but I’m “disloyal” for saying “stop the spending,” and “doge isn’t enough.”

Everyone suddenly knows how to spend the money. It’s worse than the “peace dividend” feeding frenzy in the ‘90s.

hegseth wants a $1 trillion defense budget. bannon says medicaid is untouchable, because lots of maga is on medicaid, and he thinks tax-the-rich will bring in lots of revenue. mtg “me, me, lookit me my my hearings” on a lousy $10 billion of underused fed buildings, yes, dearie, you can buy an ice cream with your shiny new dime, and since you yanked your kid’s birthday grift, he takes art lessons from hunter biden to earn his own pocket money. She got herself onto john solomon’s just the news show, and he’s changing the name to just the noise.

And what the hell is this tim burchett of all people signing on to anna paulina looney’s monkey wrench about letting nursing mother congressbabes vote by proxy?

Embarrassing. Talk about setting the table for newsom or cuomo in 2028. Yet every day dawns with yet another new wayne allyn root cheerleader piece about a trump third term and “a golden age is upon us.”
