REPORTER: Can we expect any more trade deals before next week?
#TRUMP: My inclination is to send a letter out and say what tariff they're gonna be paying. It's just much easier ... 'you're gonna pay a 20%, or 25, or 30% tariff.' We're gonna be sending some letters out starting probably tomorrow.
this is why #vonderLeyen makes the big bucks
it take superhuman composure to just sit there, letting her soul leave her body and join the astral plane, to escape the eldritch horror of abject stupidity before her, and not say "will you just shut the fuck up please?" like 99% of humanity would
seriously what the fuck is this orange turd babbling about
it's 2025 and this bloviating dotard leads a powerful nation
not powerful for long i guess

The Scottish Greens have renewed their call for Scotland to seek an Unexplained Wealth Order (UWO) to investigate Trump’s businesses.
A UWO is a 'power held by the Scottish Government to investigate the finances of politically active individuals who have gained wealth through suspicious means'!
It may be quixotic but who wouldn't love to see Trump's finances properly scrutinised?

I used to think (in my naivety) that a judge on the Supreme Court was the smartest in the Judiciary — cream of the crop, top of the line…
But damn I can see that’s not true because this is some A-class manipulation and gaslighting by Trump Administration lawyers—
And it makes sense that the people directing #Trump during his first term would put judges in #SCOTUS who would roll over for him.

"With the passage of Trump's death bill, we face the prospect of many great harms, including an archipelago of concentration camps across the United States.
Concentration camps are sites of tempting slave labor. Among many other aims, the Soviets used concentration camp labor to build canals and work mines."

For decades, Republicans have pretended to be the "party of the private sector" by falsely claiming that the economy only adds government jobs under Democratic presidents.
Today's jobs report from ADP disproves that GOP talking point and shows once again that Democrats are the true party of private-sector job creation, which has slowed dramatically under Trump:

"Tesla (TSLA) is not paying its bills and it is destroying small American businesses"
"In Texas, contractors have filed liens for more than $110 million against Tesla in the last five years"
This is Americas future.

for getting under orange god emperor's skin
you attack #MAGA
constantly, viciously, incessantly
some of you fools out there think "we can't sink to their level"
you're fucking clueless
this is a knife fight, there is no high road anymore, it's dead
and if these fragile narcissistic bigots are easily rattled
then rattle the fuck out of them, as a simple tactic
it isn't all you do, but it's easy, and it works
so do it

#Judges Openly Doubt #USGovernment as #Justice *Misleads* [#lies] & Dodges Orders
#DOJ lawyers have long enjoyed a professional benefit when they appear in court. As a general rule, judges tend to take them at their word & assume they are telling the truth.
But…as members of the #Trump DOJ have repeatedly misled courts, violated orders & demonized judges…, some jurists have started to show a loss of faith in the people & institution they once believed in most.
