From article, Ford: “Believe me when I say I do not want to do this. I feel terrible for the American people who didn’t start this trade war. It’s one person who is responsible, it’s President Trump.”
“Republicans, at least the ones I speak to, do not agree with President Trump but they are too scared to go out there and say it publicly,” Ford said. “It’s a shame but we need to end this.”
Not to fear, he’s busily blaming that on the southern hemisphere criminal, drug-crazed and psycho immigrants storming across our border bringing vile diseases with them.
I wanted them to shut off the power completely, but a huge tariff is better. Hit em in the pocketbook.
Along with Molsons, poutine, and maple syrup.
Yes, you said southern hemisphere but it’s already established that Trump doesn’t understand magnets.
Come on, he’s not just a “white guy”; He’s a white guy with a cool nickname .
Named after dried and shriveled grapes?
Please. In six months, we’ll be hearing about how Joe is sneaking into government departments and telling all the Deep State moles how to trash the US economy and international reputation.
It’s still better than anything ever applied to Trump. Has he ever had a real friend give him an actual nickname?
Has he ever had a real friend?
Has he ever laughed?
Was he ever happy?
Was he ever loved?
Maybe, perhaps, I see a problem. Not the only one he has, but a relevant one. Fuck him.
Oh you sweet summer child. Some of these lunatics still hold a grudge against goddamn FDR.
From what I hear, there’s that John Barron guy. Seems to be pretty chummy with him.
Has he never been mellow?
Maybe what he meant is that he was going to lay some great big fat stinking eggs himself. He has certainly come through on that promise.
Not to mention all the things that will still be Obama’s fault and “Buttery-mails!” forever.
Has he ever had a sled golf club nicknamed Rosebud Pussy Grabber ?

I saw it said once that the first time he ever heard the word “no” was when he asked “Are you proud of me, dad?”

Trump wants to dig up our military bases for rare earths, because I guess soldiers dying of black lung and radiation poisoning will boost readiness.

Just add that into the looming disaster connected with the PACT Act. (The link goes to Wikipedia .)
I’m honestly surprised he went the military route, instead of having schools make a great leap into metals production.

Remember in Futurama where Nixon’s Head decides he’s tired of faking it, and declares that as president he’ll sell our children to zoos for meat, and break into people’s houses at night and wreck up the place?
That honestly seems tame and disciplined compared to Trump’s recent behavior.

Who would have thought students at Department of Defense Education Activity schools would react negatively to purging diversity? (The link is to Stars and Stripes , the newspaper for the US military; it’s free until you hit a certain number of articles in a month.)
CAMP FOSTER, Okinawa — Roughly 45 students at Kubasaki High School staged a walkout Monday to protest a Pentagon policy affecting diversity initiatives, joining a series of similar demonstrations at Defense Department schools in Asia and Europe.
The students walked out of class at 7:25 a.m. and remained outside for 25 minutes, according to a letter sent to parents by principal Silvanus Thrower. A copy of the letter was provided to Stars and Stripes by protest organizers.
“We ask for your partnership in working with your child to discuss meaningful actions they can take to engage in their community,” Thrower wrote.
Enrollment at the school is 573 students, according to its website.
The protest, like others at Defense Department Education Activity schools, was directed at a Jan. 27 executive order by President Donald Trump that eliminated diversity, equity and inclusion programs established under previous administrations, according to the organizers.
“We wanted to lend our voice to that call, that we are not just going to sit down and let these orders pass that we as the public did not approve of,” senior Benjamin Cozart said in an interview after school at the Camp Foster food court. “Especially because this is impacting us, we want to do our part — our civic duty — and push back against that.”
There is much more at the link. The final two lines of the article warmed my cockles.
Cozart said there were no repercussions for the walkout.
“The protest itself and everything we did were within our rights as students, so there’s no consequences handed to us,” he said.

I believe that was the half-elf ranger in a D&D campaign I played back in '98.
