How would removing the de minimis help China? Although I hate to say it, I kind of agree with the Trump administration on this one. I don’t think the de minimis rule was created with the idea that we’d be individually ordering so many products directly from China on Temu or Shein.
I was thinking (vindictively, admittedly) more that it would hurt the US, further.
Regrettable that the lower-income / minority bracket will get hit the hardest from this outcome. Hopefully this bracket will be mainly a certain 77,300,000.
Welp, RFK Jr. is finally recommending that people get vaccinated and it only took TWO measles epidemics caused by him.

Let me know when they bring back the flu shot.
Maybe, just maybe, if one is wishing ill on America and Americans, then it may be worth considering whether the psyop warfare which has obviously helped create the MAGA contingent is also being directed at you, just in the other way.
Maybe.
Please use his official title in the future.
“Secretary Brainworm”.
/end trite, juvenile name calling though it makes me feel better to call out this gormless waste of oxygen.
It’s brilliant! What other kind of bribe allows you a 50% refund, without losing influence?
You can’t see it in the embedded video, but there’s an anti-abortion billboard next to the lot. In one shot shown on the local news you can see ‘This is evidence of God’ and the burning Deploreans. 
That’s dated “3 Oct 25”. Are you from the future?

It looks like someone put 10/3/2025 instead of 3/10/2025.
First time I heard Teslas called ‘Deploreans’. I like it! 
Teslas burning, Tesla stock plummeting, SpaceX spaceships blowing up, heated arguments with Cabinet members…Musk’s fortunes are crashing and burning, literally and metaphorically, on all fronts.
I didn’t make it up. While ‘Swasticar’ is popular now, ‘Deplorean’ is an earlier moniker, and refers specifically to the Cybertruck (because it’s stainless steel and angular like a Delorean).
Makes sense. I will now and forever after refer to Cybertrucks as ‘Deploreans’. Or at least as long as they’re around, which may not be that much longer…
My personal preference is “wankpanzer”, but it’s a little less clever.
And there’s always Chefguy’s nickname, however intentional or not it may have been 
I’ve mentioned my Trump cultist Farcebook friend. Last week she told me I needed to come up with better insults, so I made a version of a Trump meme I made. It was Trump looking dopey on the left, and Bugs Bunny on the right, pointing at him and saying, ‘What a maroon.’ I replaced the Trump image with her FB profile photo. It was reported, and FB removed it as bullying. Fair enough.
But another friend also (seems to have) made it his mission to call her out on her BS. He reported her posts that used the word ‘retarded’. I rarely go to her page, but I went to see what she was up to. She had a notice that if her friends get a friend request from her, it’s probably real. She says she may have to set up a new account. (The first one was taken down by FB, and the current one seems to be in danger.) I saw that subsequent posts she’s made have been hidden. Rather than unfriend me, she’s just excluded me – and thus my friends – from seeing what she’s posting. Whatever.
Now here’s some potential Schadenfreude. A friend has a P.I. license and is friends with a judge. He found her address. He also found that her home insurance has lapsed, and that she is collecting Social Security even though she’s five years away from retirement age. (I’m guessing that means she’s 58.) Her face may very well be eaten by leopards when her Messiah cuts off her Social Security. If her house burns down without insurance, that would be tasty too.
Note: I don’t condone my friend looking up these details. It’s a bit stalker-y. But itgives me something to smile at when Trump guts Social Security.
Notice how all the richest men in the world are losing money EXCEPT for the one who decided not to be a fascist shithead.
Also, TSLA has now lost all of the gains it made after the election and is down another 15% today.
I wonder how much of that drop is a result in Elmo dumping shares?
The DJIA is also back to where it was prior to the post election jump.
