RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

It’s pathetic that other countries are protesting for us because we’ve been comfortable with so much for so long that we don’t even know how to organize anymore

Weak people make for hard times, and liberal leadership is the weakest of the bunch, this hard times ahead

When you’re a corrupt party in love with your own money/power, you’ll never have a coherent message in times of need, because you’ve structured yourselves for money/power, not representation

Good

If you were wondering, what will stop him, here’s one thing that will. He cares a hell of a lot about how the stock market performs, and how the world of finance views him. Here’s what happened today when the market first learned about his tariffs.

Yep. Focus on non-perishables that don’t require refrigeration

Canned soup
Canned chicken
Canned salmon
Peanut butter
Vitamins
Powdered coffee creamer
Instant coffee
Gatorade
Granola bars
Dried fruit (apricots)
Peanuts
Crackers
Cookie
Sweetened cereals
Canned fruit
Jelly
Instant oatmeal
Dry milk

That’s the way to do it. Just a little bit each week. A can of soup here, another non-perishable there. It adds 20 dollars to your weekly food bill, but done over a long enough timeframe it adds up

My wife and I have been stocking up for months bit by bit. We’re expecting the worst

Now that’s one hell of a trade

Good job, Dubas

I know "the Resistance" was cringe but personally I think it was healthy that swathes of the public, civil society, and Democrats behaved as if there was still a country worth saving back in 2017. The alternative, it turns out, is much worse.

Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted

Welp. Turns out electing an unstable maniac is a bad idea after all.

There’s a direct correlation between tariffs and recessions

"HOW COULD A HELICOPTER CRASH INTO AN AIRPLANE!!"

Well, you see, the President of the United States and the Transportation Secretary are both former reality tv stars and the Secretary of Defense is an alcoholic.

I will never, ever forgive people who voted for this piece of shit.

Your information was sold. Someone gave it to a third party. Apps like incogni scrub the internet of this information and make companies delete it

Making America Great Again!

Being evil is bad enough. Being so stupid that your evil gives even more chaotic results is a deeply dangerous experience

The reality is that more regular innocent people are going to die in highly preventable ways due to malicious incompetence. It is the reality of what our ignorant and easily manipulated electorate chose.

It is us or them. The class war is on a speed run now

I am more confident than ever that the Democratic Party will collapse and be reborn into something else

The old heads are refusing to give oxygen to those that are meeting the moment so they can get a couple extra years of power

People see through this shit

I don’t want to hear any of you stressing over feeling like you’re wrestling with imposter syndrome ever the fuck again

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

All the people for years and years saying they needed their 2nd amendment for moments just like this

My guess is that was all an act too

Man, it really speaks to the (lack of) value of access journalism when the biggest scoop in years in terms of impact -- Suspension of all federal grants -- is broken by an independent journalist...

Also if you have more tips about ICE activity in Pittsburgh, by all means DM, email or hmu on Signal at @wimbles.70

I hope every Democrat in Congress understands there can be no deal, under any circumstances, that attaches conditions to disaster aid. Once you let them set that precedent, they’re going to use it to fuck with your state too.

just to note here that Quakers (Quakers!) are being more aggressive than your typical Dem. congressperson
