I wouldn't say "bought." More like "signed a letter of intent" but then keeps coming up with reasons why they haven't come up with the money yet.

I was coming here to share the Newsweek article. Times are some tough for everyone. Not even the penguins can catch an economic break.
1. Destroy ability to raise revenue by "improving" the IRS with DOGE.
2. Impose tariffs at whim of President.
3. All sources of revenue now controlled by 1 person.
4. Blame all problems on someone else, use all media to support blame.
5. Have billionaires buy up everything at dirt cheap prices.
6. You now have serfs and nobility.
Find a wheel and it goes round round round

"It took just 71 days for Donald Trump to wreck the American economy, mortally wound NATO, and destroy the American-led world order.
He did this with the enthusiastic support of the entire Republican party and conservative movement.
He did it with the support of a plurality of American voters."

That can’t be right. Hasn’t it been thirty years since Trump’s inauguration?"It took just 71 days for Donald Trump to wreck the American economy, mortally wound NATO, and destroy the American-led world order.

Murphy: "It's not designed as economic policy. It's designed as political policy. Because Trump gets really excited when people have to come to him, petition the king for relief. That's what he's doing with law firms, doing with universities. That may be what he's doing with businesses."

He got overly wordy with “fuck you”.
Honestly, with how petty he is it wouldn't surprise me if his issue with it is "painted by Sarah Boardman, an artist who also produced the Capitol's portrait of President Barack Obama."
Not enough orange...
Maybe he expected something like the ai art of him? You know, something with more oiled up abs.

Trump thinks that Germans were humane to Jewish prisoners during the Holocaust. He thinks they were given extra meals by nice Germans, and that the Germans would wink at them, letting them know that it would all be okay.
Which, even if true, would have been a lie anyway...

Clip of the same sound bite on Bsky:
So all tariffs are off for 90 days. Yay. Such stability. And the market goes up. Yay.
So either gutless coward who caves when confronted on his own economic policy.
Or criminal manipulation of the markets.
Thoughts and prayers for our southern neighbours. But not cash, you'll never get another dime from the rest of the world.

Maintaining Acceptable Water Pressure in Showerheads
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1. Purpose.
www.whitehouse.gov
It's an executive order that rescinds the definition of the word showerhead. It doesn't give a new definition. It doesn't say anything about how plumbing fixtures should work. It just says that Obama era regulations are too wordy, so the ones defining a showerhead are gone.
Dementia Don.
and his staff allows it because it distracts from the really terrible stuff.

Trump's tariffs are based on the advice of Peter Navarro, who Trump picked because Kushner found Navarro's book on Amazon and liked the title. Navarro repeatedly cites a "Ron Vara" as an expert to back up his stance on tariffs. Vara doesn't exist, and I'm betting a few of you, like me, have already noticed that Ron Vara is an anagram for Navarro. I'm not even good at anagrams, and I spotted that.
Everyone in this administration is a fucking idiot.
