Now Why Would Trump Want To Give Us Money?

 

30% and 40%

I'll be the first to admit maths is not my strong suit. I could not explain to you what exactly tariffs do. Somebody is paying taxes on items purchased. The left says it's the US consumers who pay the tax. So then why aren't other countries willing to work with us if we're the ones getting the shaft? If college educated economists can't agree on whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, how the hell are we supposed to understand it all? I just watched some local news guy grin in orgasmic wonder saying Trump's tariffs are absolutely working. And now  the orange man would like to reward the American people with that one time check. Yeah, here we go again. Josh Hawley would like every citizen to receive a $600 cash reward for making tariffs great again. Then the reporter notes that probably won't happen although he's the asshat who brought it up and apologized because he brings it up every time he's on the air. The cowards have gone home. There's no one around to even consider the thought. Fiscal conservatives want the debt paid down so forgheddaboudit. 

I cannot verify what the reporter is saying about the tariffs working is true or just more propaganda. At this point I wouldn't know where to go or who to believe. Both sides are going to stick to their story so we wait it out and see if Trump got it right after all. 

But let's say every American gets $600. First of all, big fucking whoop. That won't even cover most people's rent for a month. They could buy some groceries but eating that $600 is sad. A trip? Have you gone to a nice hotel lately? There's your one night stay, to sleep in a strange bed and listen to the guests next to you argue all night. (My last experience) And as a critic of the Reich regime could I really take it and use it? I know exactly what it is and exactly why it's back on the table. (((Pspsssppsss, Epstein)))

Trump wants us to be independent, to not rely on any other country for anything. No more cheap crap from Temu or Shein. I've already noticed Walmart has jacked their prices so high there's no fun searching for deals because they don't exist. I can no longer pretend to hope I can buy something for $5. The cheap stuff runs in the $10+ area. Sure, there's the dollar store- the dollar store which is now the $1.50 store. Still a good deal? When it comes to soap or laundry detergent, maybe. Do you  really know what's in that soap? Everyone is playing shrinkflation with packaging their products. It's an absolute insult to we the consumers. Look underneath an individual size yogurt cup one day. Companies are deliberately misleading you. 

One thing I'm pretty sure of, we will just keep paying higher prices for everything. Greed runs deep. So even if everyone is wrong and Trump was right, we the people are screwed. 

I'll be sitting by the mailbox, waiting for that check to arrive. I could use a fan for my bedroom.

That check sounds like socialism!! Every expert I've seen calls tariffs a tax, paid for by us consumers. The only *positive* I see is that it makes foreign goods less attractive to US consumers, so they'll buy American or wait ten years until the US gets the factories running here to make what you need now. Trump has a pedestrian knowledge of tariffs, and it's that of a pedestrian who has been hit by a bus, I think. The fact that he cites how well they worked in the 1890's (?) shows how ridiculous it all is! This is not your g-g-grandfather's global economy! He claims tariffs have already brought in a billion dollars. But to who? What do we the people have to show for it?

I wish I had gotten the reporter's name because that's exactly what he said, billions are coming in.

An Empty Vessel

He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.

Denver, Dover, Dever

  OMG! Kelly Denver, I mean Dover, no, Dever was on the stand in the Karen Read Trial. Holy Moly!  In 2023, she wrote a statement claiming she saw two Canton police officers who were in the sallyport "for a wildly long time." where Karen Read's SUV had been towed. Now Devers, who gets snippy if her name is mispronounced, says that was all a false memory. She now says she wasn't even working at the time the SUV was brought in. Taking the stand on Monday, she accused the defense of angrily confronting her after learning she had changed her testimony, then Dever's states they threatened to charge her with perjury. She said she went to the FBI to make a complaint. Alan Jackson, the defense attorney asks, "Do you have a report?" Naturally, she did not, because she made no such report.  Of all the people who have pissed me off, and there is a long list, she is by far the worst. She is a cop whose recall of events is crucial. She is hostile and a terrible liar....

FAFO Literally

   Gosh, well isn't that generous. $5,000.  I'm gonna go out right now and find me an Elon, ready to spare some sperm and have me some babies. I'll be rich! Oh, wait... Ooh, that's gonna put a dent in my FA for the cause. Let's see... $5,000 - $2,854 = $2,146 left for me to... Oh, wait... Hmm... so, $70 x 12 = $840, which leaves me with $1,306. So, I will need a bassinet, crib, some bedding, burpy towels, baby wipes, baby bottles, formula, breast pump, room monitor, pediatrician, onesies, uh ... I need to work! Who's going to care for my baby while I'm gone!? I'm so tired. I can't do this. The government has shut down all assistance. What am I going to do with a baby!? I think I'll go have a glass of wine with my peeps instead. *All information Googled.
