Trump's Second Term

The Great Zaganza said:
these kind of polls are quite useless.
In the US in particular, approval rating is always implicitly "in comparison to generic opponent".
In the absence of a credible alternative, Trump is for many better than the alternative: Vance.

Oh my gosh! Sofa boy JD 'Did you ever say thank you?' Vance waiting in the wings. <shudder>

RADDATZ: Trump said he's made 200 deals on tariffs. 200 deals? Who has he made deals with? Is there actually any deal at this point?

BESSENT: I believe that he is referring to subdeals within the negotiations we are doing

Agreeing on what to have for lunch counts as a successful deal.

I do have problems with that twitter account though. He posted something about "NHS Susan" (IIRC) that was untrue and refused to correct it when proof was shown that it was untrue.
 
Donald’s tariffs will pay for everything so you will pay no income taxes. Amazing!

Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump
When Tariffs cut in, many people's Income Taxes will be substantially reduced, maybe even completely eliminated. Focus will be on people making less than $200,000 a year. Also, massive numbers of jobs are already being created, with new plants and factories currently being built or planned. It will be a BONANZA FOR AMERICA!!! THE EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE IS HAPPENING!!!

So is it continue buying foreign goods so the government can collect tariffs and replace income tax?
Or is it buy American instead and pay higher income taxes?

It's like asking if it's better to have a pink unicorn or a green leprechaun. Neither has a ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ chance of happening. There will be fewer foreign goods, and no increase in U.S. manufacturing.
 
Judge threatens to shut down court.

A Wisconsin judge is now threatening not to hold court after the FBI arrested Milwaukee-based Judge Hannah Dugan on Friday on obstruction charges.

Judge Monica Isham of Sawyer County made the stunning claim in an email sent to all state judges on Saturday, Wisconsin Right Now reported. Isham claimed she no longer “feels protected or respected as a Judge” after the arrest of Dugan and will “refuse” to hold court without new “guidance” or “support.”

“I no longer feel protected or respected as a Judge in this administration. If there is no guidance for us and no support for us, I will refuse to hold court in Branch 2 in Sawyer County. I will not put myself or my staff who may feel compelled to help me or my community in harms [sic] way,” she wrote.

Isham added that she has “no intention of allowing anyone to be taken out of my courtroom by ICE and sent to a concentration camp, especially without due process, as BOTH of the constitutions we swore to support requires,” even threatening to “start raising bail money” for defendants.

Sawyer County is pretty red.
 
It’s interesting that Secret Service told reporters the guy who stole Noem’s bag was a white male.
Now the DHS says it was an undocumented migrant but refuses to give any other details.
 
BASH: You said there are talks with China every day. Who are the talks with and at what level? Because the Chinese are saying that's not true

ROLLINS: Well, according to our team in Washington, the conversations are ongoing regarding multiples of trade
