Hopes for an improving job market were dashed last week, as the U.S. shed far more jobs than expected and the unemployment rate ticked up ... [Forbes]

This is the Trump economy. Make him own it.

My guess is that Kohmeini doesn't (sorry, didn't) lie nearly as often as does Trump.

#Trump
Spot the difference, if you can.

Remember, everyone associated with Trump lies almost every time they speak publicly.

Let's never be surprised that Trump and all associated with him will lie willingly and often to serve their own purposes.

TL;DR - If Trump speaks, he is likely lying.

The winning is not for the country but for Trump, his family, and his cronies. They will find ways to profit from Trump's escapades, regardless of the broader impacts.

And those costs are only just beginning.

Wonder how many shares Trump and his family own in Live Nation?

Billionaires Are Swaying Elections in All Corners of America
Billionaires made 19 percent of all reported federal campaign contributions in 2024, a Times analysis shows, and even more in some local elections. Wealthy donors are reaping the rewards. [NYT]

Is no one concerned about this????

I want to express my heartfelt thanks to Trump and his cronies for starting a war that is decimating my IRA and is spiking my expenses at the gas pumps and at stores, while he is undoubtedly reaping gains from his petrochemical and military industrial stock holdings. Job well done Donnie.

He's okay with spending US Taxplayer money on high priced oil because the profits flow to his supporters. And I bet he and his family own a large number of shares in petrochemical companies.

This type of reprehensible action and thought has been lurking in the US all along but under the current GOP regime, it has been unleashed. I am concerned that it will be very difficult to put this genie back in the bottle even after Trump and his ilk have been put out to pasture.

Trump has no plan for what's next in Iran.
Oil and natural gas prices are spiking.
The GOP led Congress has abdicated responsibility to the Imperial Presidency.

Am I wrong to feel like Chicken Little - the sky is falling.

What if we flood the one Trump doesn't choose with campaign donations?

The reality is that this was a war of choice by the Trump administration and the blood of thousands is on their hands.

And, Mr. Trump, so much for every getting a real peace prize. Make do with your FIFA fake and hand me down. They mean nothing.

And this is one reason why I am an atheist; fundamentalist extremist pandering to religion shows its hypocrisy.

Senate Republicans Block War Powers Limits

Once again, the Senate's GOP Trump toadies have capitulated to the Imperial Presidency. It is hard to say whether GOP in Congress or the right wing of the SCOTUS have done more damage to America's democracy.

This entire GOP administration is about grifting and self-enrichment. It is repugnant.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Peace President, Donald Trump.

And let's not forget that, at the start, the Viet Nam war had fairly broad support. This war is starting out with widespread disapproval.

I'm sure there is a Trump supporting podiatrist somewhere who will be able to find bone spurs in Baron.
