So, to summarize: tariffs cost the farming industry $44B in lost sales. The Idiot-in-Chief calls for a $12B payment to those farmers, allegedly funded by tariffs, calls it a win.
This is the logic of a lottery addict spending $50 on scratch tickets to win $5 and insisting he's come out ahead.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Masked thugs knocked out a peaceful protester outside the ICE facility in Portland then dragged his unconscious body away on a utility cart. Witnesses screamed, “He is not moving!” Another woman was tackled. This is state violence.

A "FIFA Peace Prize" is tantamount to getting an "AutoZone Best Actor in a Dramatic Play" award.
And "I want to really save lives" is rich coming from the homicidal slob who is murdering people on fishing boats in the Caribbean.

The fact that 12% of federal judges are Black shows the corruption of DEI. The fact that 67% of Supreme Court Justices belong to a small legal cult called the Federalist Society shows the power of meritocracy.

Pete Hegseth will face prosecution for real war crimes, not imagined ones, so there's no problem.
And come on, no one believes a podcaster is going to murder military police and martial court judges over one douchebag that's no longer in office.

Putin launched Europe’s biggest war since WWII — killing civilians, kidnapping children, and eliminating political opponents. Yet Mr. Witkoff says he’s “not a bad guy.” Diplomacy requires engaging with dictators, but that doesn't mean we have to check our values at the door.
