Where to Even Begin?

 

That's right, don't let them steal the flag! 

All of the winning! I don't know how much more I can take! Let's have a quick review of Felon 47’s short time in office so far…

Tariff chicken anyone?

 Here we see felon 47 only going after the mythical monster of trade deficits. This reflects his antiquated thinking from the 80s about a problem that's not really a problem.  No one owes anybody anything. Rather we buy more goods than we happen to sell overseas. Tariffs are not some magical way to “re-shore” jobs. They are however, a great way to create uncertainty and instability- two key ingredients for recessions and depressions. Um no, Walmart cannot just eat them. Like any corporation, they are legally bound to maximize profits for shareholders. Supply contracts have already been agreed to  and cannot be changed on a whim overnight.  I don't know about where you are but here the companies that sent their jobs overseas in the first place no longer possess factories here. They have been sold off and turned into something else or torn down long ago. The workers have either passed away or moved into different jobs long ago.  To really re-industrialize would actually take careful planning, retraining a workforce and building out the power grid to run everything. You know actual planning and time. That's assuming automation doesn't replace most workers. Playing tariff chicken also damages our reputation on the world stage. Who wants to do business with a bunch of yahoos who make up the rules as they go along? Again, this is unstable and unsustainable.

Let's destroy our Global credibility!

Felon 47 has no grasp of how geopolitics works. Feeding people via USAID not only saves countless lives, it also creates goodwill. Throwing a wrench into it not only causes avoidable suffering and many deaths, it also destroys countless farmers here. Apparently Felon 47 did not bother to read the document he swore to uphold and defend.  Congress controls the money and how it is spent, not the president. He cannot just decide what programs he likes and what he doesn't. His job is literally to carry out the will of Congress. Don't like USAID? Ask Congress to remove that agency.

 Attacking our allies and defending our enemies may not be the best way to manage national security. Swallowing Putin's talking points on Ukraine without questions does nothing to help our security and hurts our allies, including Ukraine. Most sane Americans would have to agree Felon 47’s treatment of President Zelenskyy was a national embarrassment. 

There is one unintended bright spot from all of this. Europe seems to be taking their own security more seriously as we have earned the unfortunate label of “unreliable ally.”  

Who needs due process?

Actually, we all do. Without due process the whole notion of freedom basically falls apart. Here the Constitution does not stutter, it says all persons. There are no exceptions, not even for those who have entered the country illegally. Rounding up people, putting them on airplanes sending them to dreadful foreign detention centers / prisons is completely unconstitutional. Rather, this is the old practice of extraordinary rendition. If you happen to support this in any way shape or form, your 8th grade civics teacher slap the living shit out of you! I cannot think of anything more un-American. I think these are the worst crimes of this regime so far.  

I'll save talking about the record-breaking and breathtaking corruption for another time. Don't worry friends, Fellon 47 is not going to completely take over this space. He sucks up entirely too much oxygen as it is.  I think it's important to keep in mind this regime will not last. Sooner or later, Justice will come calling. The clean up from all of this will take years if not decades.
