Trump's Second Term

I don't think they'll bother. Musk will simply have it all deleted. Whoops! Guess everybody who wants SS will have to reapply, and provide documentation for every cent they allege to have paid in. This will have to be done in person --to prevent fraud-- at one of the two offices left (one is unstaffed and the other has two employees...

Except when it's really busy.

When it has one.

The Real Donald J Trump on X: "Tariffing the value of this horrible and deadly drug [fentanyl] in order to make it more costly to distribute and buy." I am confused. How would a tariff be levied on an illicit drug?

Well, the feds could slap an excise tax on items that are used to indulge in it, like syringes or pipes or aluminum foil or lighters or whatever else is used.

Please, don't ask me how that would work, because I have no idea.


ETA: Maybe I should just shut up before the fat clown gets more stupid ideas.

The Globe and Mail reported today that of the fentanyl seized at the Canada/US border by the US CBP in 2024, a mere 335 grams (0.74 pounds) was produced in Canada. The rest came from Mexico or the even the US itself, or had unknown origins.

In a few weeks Donald can claim the drugs coming from Canada are now almost zero.

See how effective the tariffs are?
 
Liberation Day is scheduled for 4pm Eastern time this afternoon, only there's been a name change.

According to the White House, at 4pm (20:00 GMT), Trump will participate in the “Make America Wealthy Again” event in the Rose Garden. This is when he’s expected to announce his so-called reciprocal tariffs. Aljazeera article link

Possibly of greater importance, the photo below was taken last Saturday as trump prepared to leave the White House for Mar-a-Lago. He appears to be continuing to NOT color his hair. ???

Over on mastodon someone noting some problems with the instructions to US embassies not to have suppliers who have DEI policies eg all EU utility companies

Some weeks ago, when this stuff about the US embassies announcing their suppliers and contractors that they should not have DEI programmes or their equivalents was known, I did a small research on google maps (in the following toot)...

They note the US embassy in Madrid may not be an ideal spot this summer with no A/C, running water or power as even generators are a problem without a fuel supply.
 
Just listened to the beginning of Trump's speech. Could not listen to anything more of it.

Trump screamed agit-prop BS about foreigner's raping America economically, about them more or less impoverishing America and American workers. Reminds me of Stalinist and Nazi propaganda.

Then he shrieked about how tariffs who lead to a prosperous America, with more jobs and industry and it is all starting now!! Oh and how it would lead to a reduction of trade barriers!?

The gist is it is America "liberated" from evil Foreign economic domination which has impoverished America. (America is very wealthy in reality.)

The level of delusion is stunning!!
 
Make America Wealthy Again!

MAWA MAWA MAWA!

Jesus, that's how he sounds all the time!

ETA: Well, thinking back on d'Anunzzio's Eya! Eya! Eya! A la la! it's maybe not such a bad war cry. For a bunch of blackshirts.
