Well…wasn’t going to come back for another one today but this little tidbit of news just came across my phone so I thought I’d do a short comment. It was announced this afternoon that at least 1,000 more jobs will be lost just in Illinois due to the idiot trump’s asinine tariffs….two companies are packing up and leaving for Mexico since the tariffs have made manufacturing here in the US unprofitable for both companies with the huge increases in raw material costs that they have seen. How’s that MAGA bullshit working for you now, trump voters? Yeah…I guess it’s not so smart putting an ignorant moron in charge of trade policy, huh? I feel absolutely no sympathy for any trump voter that still supports this moron after what he has done to this country since he was installed by Putin….impeach…

trump and his cronies are just the worst…
Well…not in the mood to do a long one right now so I’m just going to do a few quick hitters…it was just announced that the WH won’t provide transcripts of the idiot trump’s calls with foreign leaders anymore…damn, what are they trying to hide? Even the repubs don’t like the 12 billion dollar bailout of farmers that idiot boy is planning, especially since all the problems were caused by the idiot in the first place…maybe now they’ll take that power away from him? Now idiot boy is planning on a 25% tariff on imported cars wherever they’re from…economists have already said this could cost thousands of jobs here and is already prompting Volvo, BMW, and Mercedes to stop investing here since tariffs put on the US by other countries have raised their cost so much it just doesn’t pay to invest here anymore….this is just a few of examples of all the damage being done by the idiot in the WH….how’s all that winning now? Impeach…
Buying votes with tariff bailouts…
Well…if it wasn’t bad enough that the idiot trump is killing jobs across this country with his idiotic tariffs, he is now planning to spend 12 billion of our dollars to bail out his buddies that have been hurt by the tariffs. Yep, you heard that right…we can’t afford to spend 6 billion dollars to keep the Children’s Health Insurance Program going, but we can spend twice that to pay for trump’s stupid mistake of starting a ‘winnable” trade war. The deal here is that trump’s support in the midwest is cracking when thousands of farmers have seen their profits plummet with the retaliation of our trading partners and the tit for tat tariffs that they have put on American farm products…China has gone so far as to stop buying American soybeans which has made the price plunge below the profitability line…so trump has to buy back their votes with corporate welfare that will insulate them from the tariff’s effects…hmmm…I wonder if they are going to drug test the recipients of these payments…they are doing it with poor welfare recipients, I think they should do it to these corporate welfare queens, too….god, these guys are stupid…impeach….
Stupid, stupid trump…
Well…how’s that trade war working out for you now, trump voters? It was announced this morning that Harley Davidson is moving half of it’s production to the EU to avoid the tariffs that were put in place by the EU in response to the idiot trumps tariffs on them. There goes another 1500 jobs from Wisconsin and puts Harley on a path to stop producing in the US altogether and it’s all because of trump. Trade wars are easy to win, huh? trump and his cronies must be the dumbest people on the planet since they didn’t think through any of the effects that his stupid tariffs would have on the US…he is just dumb enough to think that he is punishing other countries with his tariffs when all they have done is cost jobs here and raise prices on everyone in this country…did you get a tax cut from the scam tax bill? That’s all gone and more with the price increases that are coming in a couple of months…how do you like all that winning, trump voters? Impeach….
More jobs lost to trump’s tariffs…
Well…as every damn economist predicted, jobs are being lost because of trump’s idiotic tariffs….not bringing good paying jobs back to the US as the idiot claimed, but jobs in trump voting areas are going bye bye. The latest casualty is a company called Mid Continent…the second largest nail manufacturer in the US based in Poplar Bluff Missouri, who has had to raise their prices by 19% with the 25% tariff on the steel wire that they have to import since no one makes it here in the US anymore…and, with nails being a commodity product that is extremely price sensitive, a 19% increase just can’t be done if you expect to sell anything. I’ll bet many of the people who are losing their jobs at Mid Continent voted for the “great businessman” trump and believed his lies that he would protect American workers and jobs…how does that feel now, trump voters? More than half of the jobs in Poplar Bluff are at Mid Continent and when it closes around Labor Day, the waves will swamp many other companies that depend on the paychecks of these workers to keep their businesses afloat…I hate to see anyone lose their job but maybe these idiots will stop supporting the idiot in chief when they realize that he is a fraud who doesn’t give a damn about them….impeach…
Hey trump voters…475,000 jobs gone…
Well…with all of the stupidity coming from the idiot boy on trade, putting tariffs on our allies under the guise of “national security’…and that is just so damn moronic when Canada is included…what have they ever done? One of the things that is starting to be clear is the scope of the job losses…to protect about 25,000 jobs in the steel and aluminum sectors, economists have calculated that there will be job losses of almost 500,000 jobs across the economy….making for net job LOSSES of 475,000 from these idiotic tariffs. Trudeau of Canada even went so far as to say that he understands that this is not the American people talking but this idiotic administration…and he has talked to trump so he knows what he’s talking about. Now, trump voters, after your 12 dollar tax cut that you bought a new car with, what are you going to do when you lose your job to trump’s stupidity? He makes the best deals, believe him…impeach…
The idiot ignites a trade war…
Well…the idiot in chief did it again this morning when he announced that he is imposing tariffs on basically all of our trading partners including Canada, Mexico and the EU since he delusionally thinks everyone is cheating the US on trade. This is just not true but that doesn’t matter to this idiot…he is so stupid or senile that he thinks that just because he thinks something is true, it is…I really do think he’s mentally ill. While the idiot thinks this is being “tough on trade”, it is just another case of the moron further isolating the US and he’s throwing away our leadership and is getting nothing in return for it. The EU has already responded by announcing tariffs on everything they import from the US and the carnage is going to be widespread here….were talking hundreds of thousands of jobs gone and farmers bankrupt…but, that doesn’t matter to trump…he just doesn’t give a damn about anyone but himself and his fawning toadies will be heaping praise on this stupid action….impeach….
Here’s the pro quo….
Well…we are living through the most corrupt damn administration in my long lifetime and I am getting sick of my country being sold out by these assholes. As I wrote about the other day, the idiot trump is being bribed by the Chinese by them investing 500 million dollars in a new trump-named resort in Malaysia…that is the quid in this mess, and we now know what the pro quo is…trump and his cronies have stopped levying tariffs on Chinese goods that was the most important thing to them just last week…but now, since the government is being operated only to enrich the idiot boy, tariffs are no longer necessary…and he gets played again on trade….the Chinese invest 500 million and get 100 billion in tariffs lifted. I’ve harped on this before but let’s do a little thought experiment…imagine if you will if Obama or Hillary had ever done anything like this….the repubs couldn’t get the articles of impeachment passed fast enough…but do you hear anything but crickets? Yep, the rot of corruption has taken the repub party and turned it into a criminal enterprise….and I am damn sick of it…so please, everybody…get out and vote so we can start to restore this country to the rule of law….impeach…
How ya likin trump now, soybean farmers?
Well…I just loved this little bit of news that came out today that, in response to the idiot trumps tariffs on China, that China has just stopped buying American soybeans…now, I feel for the farmers that are going to be hurt by this, but they voted for the idiot and foisted him on the whole country so I don’t feel too much for them…in just the past week, China has cancelled 70,000 tons of soybean orders that are worth over 30 million dollars…and that is going to put some of them out of business and cause job losses across the red states who elected this jackass….now, I hope these morons who voted for this know nothing, ignorant, moron will remember what he has done to them come November…but, they probably won’t…just like the evangelicals that voted overwhelmingly for the serial sexual assaulter and continue to support him even after revelation after revelation of just how terrible a person trump is, these farmers are just too damn dumb to vote in their own self interest…hey, farmers…turn off fox news for a while and let your intelligence come back…maybe then you’ll vote for competency and knowledge in government…yeah, probably not….but, her e-mails….geez…
3 dollar a gallon gas is back..thanks, trump…
Well…I think I got lucky this morning when I decided to fill up the car at $2.69 a gallon and then noticed, when I was out on the bike, that the price has shot up to $2.95 a gallon…and since the repubs always blamed Obama for any price increases, I will do the same with the idiot trump…thanks, trump. Hey, trump voters, where’s your tax cut now? Just this price rise is over double what the tax cut was for most people…and when you couple it with the cost increases for health care that is entirely the doing of the repubs, you have been taken for the saps that you are. This doesn’t even factor in the nonsense on tariffs on Chinese steel that the Chinese have just responded to by raising tariffs on our crops by up to 156% which will put a bunch of farmers out of business this year. This is what you get when you put a moron in charge of economic policy who has no frickin clue what he is doing…cripes, he has no clue about anything…trump is just one of the most stupid people I have ever seen…and we are all paying the price for that stupidity…impeach…
