Ha! So I’m not the only one who sees what Boss Hogg’s plan is….Thanks, Dave

But one  Times  reader (unknow to me, of course) replied in a Reader Comment that Trump has no intention of “Making America Great Again”.  He posits that Trump is trying to “burn the whole thing down” so that he and his billionaire cronies can swoop in and make a “crony capitalist” killing by buying up what’s left of the ruins for a discount price – jus like Putin did in post-Soviet Russia. HA! What have I been telling you, right HERE…. By now, it should be clear to all but the most willfully blind that Donald Trump has no real interest in "Making America Great Again," let alone in making the country stronger or more prosperous.  What we are witnessing is not a populist movement to restore American greatness, but rather  destruction capitalism in action —the idea that chaos and institutional breakdown can be profitable for those at the top. Trump and his inner circle of enablers are not playing a political game in the traditional sense. Instead, they are advanci...

BTW, as much as I’ve bitched about Dotard wrecking the markets, it could have been MUCH worse, for me.

 Anyone who hasn’t seen this coming is living in a fantasy world, with their head, deeply and firmly implanted. Duh, who couldn’t see that Boss Hogg was gonna wreck it all? But, even I, who have been shifting to precious metal for quite some time, didn’t think the dumbass would be THIS obvious, in his attempts to wreck our country, as this disaster will work its way through the economy, probably causing a major recession, probably worldwide. Does anyone think that the US can build factories in the US in the foreseeable future? Before the next election? Before the dumbass can totally wreck our country? Duh, who da thunk?

BTW, even before today’s market disaster, there was an election in Wisconsin, that was a referendum on Dotard and his policies.

 This was a state that Trump won, and where his pal Elon gave out million dollar checks and paid $100/vote. The Liberal won by double digits, and in an election in deep red Florida districts, the Republicans’ margin was cut in half. It’s called buyer’s remorse, and it’s only just begun. Thanks again, you clueless sheep.

Soooo, are you MAGA morons, especially those fortunate enough to have retirement accounts, enjoying ‘Winning’?

Image
 And this is on top of many weeks of falling markets. And this before we find out about the retribution toward the US, by our ‘former’ partners and allies, and it gets WORSE.  Thanks a bunch, you gullible, ignorant FOXSheep, for voting in your boy… Any ‘buyers remorse’ yet?

The US has (not for long?) one of the richest economies in the world. Poorer countries have cheap labor. They make everything from shoes and clothes to electronics and cars, which Americans buy.

 The system took decades/generations to create, and it was working well.  The concept was understandable to just about everyone. Except for one power-hungry asshole(R) in the White House A LYING, arrogant, wannabe dictator with the power, and will, to wreck the world economy, as he hopes leaders will come begging to him. Screw the jackass and the gullible, ignorant sheep who put him in office!

You think things are bad now?

Image
 Just wait until the leaders of the free world, minus Dotard, realize they can replace the dollar, which has been the world’s Reserve Currency, since WWII, with the Euro. The CAN, and might do it. And it will SINK the US economy…..Which is Boss Hogg’s ultimate plan.

It’s the Trumpies vs qualified economists. Who ya gonna trust, as world markets tank? It only makes sense if you know Trump’s ultimate goal, to wreck the US economy, so his oligarch buddies can pick up the pieces, like Putin (Boss Hogg’s hero), and his pals did in Russia

  “This has to be the biggest unforced economic policy errors in US history,”   wrote   David Beckworth, an economist with the Mercatus Center, a right-leaning think tank.   The Nobel-Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman called the tariffs ‘shockingly stupid’. Trump’s tariff announcement was full-on crazy. Not only is he imposing higher tariffs than almost anyone expected, but he’s justifying them with completely false claims about other countries’ tariffs. I don’t know where his numbers are coming from, but they have nothing to do with reality. ... It’s a really bad day for the U.S. economy. Since the tariffs are paid by U.S. importers who can raise prices to recoup all or part of the cost of the tariffs, Trump’s “liberation day” announcement this week could be tantamount to the largest tax increase on U.S. consumers in decades.  At the same time, economists have said the tariffs could increase price inflation and slow economic growth, potentially even throwing...

Boss Hogg FINALLY had a unifying act!

 Based on his new tariffs and reactions from world leaders, there is now a unification. It’s the free world, vs Trump and the US…..and I’m sure that’s gonna work out REAL well for us. Russia Isn't On Donald Trump's New Tariffs List Cuba, North Korea and Belarus are also absent. The World Reacts To Trump's Sweeping Tariffs: 'No Basis In Logic' “Nobody wants a trade war," said one British official. Thanks again, Rupert and you morons who swallow his crap.

Am watching CNBC, the Financial Channel, and they are trying to figure out where the ‘numbers’ that Dotard used to create the tariffs came from. They finally figured it out. He just made them up, because they have no basis in reality.

  Trump accused the EU of imposing a 39% tariff on U.S. products. Dismayed EU officials claimed the actual tariff is less than 5%, and the World Trade Organization has put the rate at about 5%. So where do the administration tariffs numbers come from? Easy.  They just pulled them out of Trump’s fat ass….

The only good news lately….

 The low rent MAGA morons who are Boss Hogg’s base are gonna be the ones hurt MOST by his idiotic policies. The bad news? We’re ALL going down in the same sinking ship, but luckily, some of us have better life preservers than others…

Wow, I feel much better now, knowing that the experienced professionals have been Purged from the National Security Council, and the FOXNews crew is now in charge. And Pete Hegseth PROMISED to stop drinking so much…

  April 3 (Reuters) - Several high-ranking National Security Council officials were fired on Thursday morning, according to three people familiar with the matter, in what appears to be the first significant purge of  Donald Trump's  second presidency. AND, we now have this… US sends 2nd aircraft carrier to Middle East as Trump threatens to bomb Iran A second U.S. aircraft carrier headed to the Middle East after President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Iran.

Yahoo! Doesn’t it feel great to be WINNING, as our assets crash around us! Thanks again, you gullible, ignorant, uninformed/misinformed MAGA morons….

  WOOO-HOOOOO! Welcome to President Donald “ Tariff Man ”   Trump’s "Liberation Day" !  I’ve been waiting for this day like it’s Christmas in April, and I am PUMPED AND READY to be liberated from the tyranny of low-priced goods and the weighty yoke of a strong stock market.  What I do know is that our  liberation will come via tariffs , which are always great and effective. I know that because the president says they are always great and effective and  goober-ish “economists” say they are not . SHUT UP, NUMBER-NERD ECONOMISTS! WHY WOULD I BELIEVE YOU WHEN I CAN BELIEVE A MAN WHO WANTS TO SELL ME A BIBLE WITH HIS NAME ON IT?!? Is it possible Liberation Day might lead to rising prices, stagflation or, as  Moody’s Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi told CNN , “a serious recession” and “a wipeout for the economy”? Sure. But the epic loss of jobs will be worth it because President Trump will have liberated us from the Biden economy, which received ha...

Trump’s tariffs make sense ONLY if you know his plan, which is to follow the model of Russia, and his pal Putin,

 where the economy was totally wrecked, and the rich, powerful oligarchs picked up the pieces and stole the wealth of the country.

The Lyin King told SOOO many lies during his speech, but one, that Dotard continues to make, pisses me off the most. The ignorant jerk doesn’t even know WHO pays his dumbass tariffs.

Trump repeated his frequent false claim that, because of the tariffs he imposed on China during his first term, the US “took in hundreds of billions of dollars” that “they paid.” In fact, US importers, not foreign exporters like China,  make the tariff payments , and  study after study  has found that Americans bore the overwhelming majority of the cost of Trump’s first-term tariffs on China.  Nearly all of the money taken in by the government was paid out to farmers, in subsidies, because other country’s tariffs made their crops unsaleable.  And…. Trump, claiming “we subsidize a lot of countries,” falsely said “it’s close to $200 billion a year” with Canada. Trump has repeatedly used this $200 billion figure to describe the US trade deficit with Canada in particular, which is actually far lower than $200 billion;  official US statistics  show the 2024 deficit with Canada in goods and services trade was $35.7 billion.  And, he says he’s punishing ...

Dotard claimed old Joe WRECKED the US economy, and ‘only HE’ could fix it. SOOOO, you MAGA morons, how you liking Boss Hogg’s FIX? Checked your 401 K lately?

Image
 Thanks a bunch, you gullible, clueless FOXSwallowing sheep. This was the cover of ‘The Economist’, a rightwing publication, at the end of Oct, 2024.

I knew the LYING, morally bankrupt grifter/conman would wreck everything, but I didn’t know it would be this bad, this fast, as the wannabe dictator wrecks the US and world economy, while driving away our former friends and allies and kissing dictator ass.

Image
 This, on top of weeks of losses, after all time records under old Joe.  It’s just our savings and retirement $… Thanks again, Rupert, and all you gullible, ignorant MAGA morons who put the asshole in office.

Good song. Give a listen. Explains a lot….

  https://youtube.com/watch?v=nflg8qlqWZg&si=K3UOrmwkrQFXFfiw

There’s a reason that the US economy was setting new records nearly every week, before Boss Hogg waddled into office,

 tanking US and world markets. BUT, Dotard had an explanation…. The president used aggressive rhetoric to describe a global trade system that the United States helped to build after World War II, saying “our country has been looted, pillaged, raped, plundered” by other nations. And if that makes sense to you, you’re obviously a misinformed, uninformed, clueless, gullible sheep. Thanks again, Rupert.

It’s a yuuge story on legitimate, REAL news outlets, after the Dem candidate in Wisconsin WON, in a state carried by Trump, where Elon spent MILLIONS on Dotard’s pick, BUT,

 the uninformed, misinformed sheep who get their ‘news’ from the clowns at Bullshit Mountain wouldn’t know…..cuz FOX just ignored the story today. Nothing new, but telling.

We hear a lot about how much Boss Hogg’s idiotic tariffs would add to the price of a new car, among other things, BUT,

 The price of a new home, with tariffs on building materials, and without the migrant labor, would go from $800,000 to a MILLION. A 20% increase AND, we don’t have the laborers to fill the gaps. Thanks again Rupert, and you gullible, ignorant voters who put the Lying, morally bankrupt, conman, wannabe into the White House, where he is wrecking our country, so his rich pals can pick up the pieces when he’s done. Like his pal Putin did in Russia…

Wow, fantastic news from Wisconsin, after Dotard’s ‘paligarch’ tried to BUY the election, paying out MILLIONS in bribes, trying to BUY Republican votes. The ahole even wore a cheesehead hat in public….

 Great referendum on Boss Hogg’s policies. And this, from a state the Orange Clown WON in ‘24. And it wasn’t even close….. Kiss our asses, Donald and Elon! Liberal Judge Wins Wisconsin Supreme Court Seat, Defying Musk’s Millions

No, problem….until YOU are one who needs help, and it’s GONE. Thanks again, Rupert….

Dotard’s talking about a third term? What a joke!

Image
 In four years, if he’s not in prison or dead, from a patriotic assassin, there’s NO WAY he’ll be re-elected! He’ll have the economy, and every part of our country SO screwed up he’ll be lucky not to be tarred and feathered, and run out of town on a rail. Re-elected? HA! What a JOKE! Maybe he’ll be welcome in Russia, with his pal Putin, after he wrecks OUR country, which is obviously his plan, so the oligarchs can pick up the pieces, like Russia, where his hero lives…. Screw him and the gullible, ignorant sheep he rode in on. Tarred and feathered is the best that should happen to the jerk…

The dumbass doesn’t even know WHO PAYS tariffs. Boss Hogg seems to think they’re paid by the exporting countries. WRONG, dumbass! They’re paid by the importing country, and then the costs are passed on to US, the consumers. That’s why the market has lost ALL it’s gains since Dotard was elected.

  Tariff burden : Peter Navarro, a senior trade adviser, estimated on Fox News that President Trump’s tariffs would raise about $6 trillion over the next decade. But that estimate implies that the burden of tariffs would be paid by consumers, analysts said, instead of encouraging companies to bring manufacturing to the United States. E conomists have argued that the revenue generated by tariffs will ultimately be paid for by American consumers and businesses, which are likely to bear the brunt of tariffs. Those additional costs could be jarring for Americans, especially after Mr. Trump campaigned on reducing inflation that plagued the United States and other countries during the Biden administration. Thanks again, to Rupert, FOX and the gullible, ignorant sheep who put the LYING, morally bankrupt, arrogant, Putin-loving, wannabe dictator into the White House.

It’s not like we weren’t warned. He promised retribution against those who accused him Inciting an Insurrection (guilty), cheating on taxes and business (guilty) and stealing Top Secret documents (guilty) and paying for sex, (charging it off as business expense), with Stormy and LYING about it (guilty), as well as other crimes.

  Trump Roars Down Multiple Paths Of Retribution As He Vowed. Some Targets Yield While Others Fight. President Donald Trump has taken action against individuals, law firms, private corporations, media companies and universities he regards as adversaries.

Enough politics, but it’s hard to forgive the jerks who came between my brother and me, until the very end.

Image
 Love ya, Doug. BTW, have cried several times today, especially when I listen to ‘Old and Wise’, by The Alan Parsons Project, which I hadn’t heard for decades, but came to me, this morning….

If you’ve ever wondered how a LYING, morally bankrupt, arrogant, pussy grabbing, racist, NYC grifter/conman could be elected to the presidency of the formerly respected, most powerful country on earth?

Image
 It’s because of this asshole. Rupert Murdoch, the America hating Australian, who saw an opportunity to make BILLIONS, by giving MILLIONS of lazy Americans(R), the kind of ‘news’ they wanna hear, (facts be damned), by creating the Republican Propaganda Network, in place of legitimate news agencies. Screw Rupert, Sean and the clowns at FOX, who LIE for $$$, and make BILLIONS, in spite of being SUED for LYING.

BTW, this is my private blog, or weblog, a diary, with hundreds, and many times thousands of readers daily, where I dump my thoughts, instead of bothering my friends and relatives with my thoughts.

Image
 I don’t send this to anyone. Whoever is ‘peeking in’ here is looking at my thoughts and beliefs. If you don’t like it, quit looking, especially if you are a gullible, clueless, FOXinfused sheep, who gets their news from a Republican Propaganda Outlet, owned by Rupert Murdoch, an America hating Australian. This is no surprise to anyone who knows me. I haven’t changed a bit since my government, in the name of God and country, tried to send me to Viet Nam, where 58,000 young men died, hundreds of thousands were wounded, and hundreds of thousands came back with PTSD and drug problems, in a bullshit economic war(R), just like Iraq, where the ‘Defense Contractors(R) got rich and the young were sacrificed. SOOO, don’t give me any bullshit about God and country. Been there, done that, and am old enough to have EARNED my thoughts and opinions. My brother Doug finally came around to reality, after years of brainwashing by a fundamentalist church and Republican propaganda.  We were spea...

BTW, just a few words on this sad day.

Image
 I blame Rupert, and his evil empire, for poisoning the minds of many good, but gullible, clueless people, who swallow the crap from FOX, not taking the time, or making the effort to get REAL news, just accepting the BS from the Republican Propaganda Machine, where everything must pass the mantra of Pubs GOOD—Dems BAD, before being passed on to the gullible sheep. My brother, and other members of my family, fell into the evil empire, where they can’t recognize the anti-Christ that their good book warns against, as the LYING, morally bankrupt, arrogant, wannabe dictator cozies up to Putin, offends our former allies and is wrecking the US and world economy, with the blessing of otherwise ‘good people’, who wear blinders when it comes evaluating the reality of Trump’s takeover of our once great democracy. Enough preaching for now, cuz if you can’t see what’s going on, you ain’t trying, in your fact-proof, rightwingnut bubble. Am so happy that my brother was FINALLY able to emerge, mos...

Sad day, but a relief, finally. My brother Doug passed last night, after long struggle with sepsis, that he caught in hospital.

Image
Was able to spend time with him, sisters and family last week before he went into final coma, and we exchanged lots of hugs and ‘I love you’s’.  Had TERRIBLE day yesterday, in mental and physical pain, but woke up this morning feeling relieved, knowing he had passed, before I read any texts. Great guy, and wish we had been closer, but have LOTS of good memories together.

The dumbass keeps making all these presidential proclamations, claiming we’re at ‘WAR’!

 Well, you stupid jerk, we’re NOT at war, and you can’t make up a bunch of bullshit laws! AND, someday you gotta learn WHO actually pays your bullshit tariffs as you WRECK the US and world economy. Screw Boss Hogg and the gullible ignorant sheep he rode in on.
