God forbid any holiday or event (no matter how non-partisan) not manage to become a campaign rally for himself. He somehow managed to politicize the annual WH Easter egg roll, FFS.

Championed by Landon ā€œTuckerā€ Davis, an Interior Department official who used to represent the state’s coal industry, a 2017 directive that paved the way for mine permits illustrates how environmental rollbacks enacted at the start of the administration are reshaping the nation’s landscape in ways that could harm threatened species.

Davis also questioned other department efforts to monitor mining’s impacts. Explaining why it had abruptly canceled a study into coal mining’s effects on the health of nearby residents, he said, ā€œScience was a Democrat thing,ā€ according to notes by the Interior Department’s Office of Inspector General.

Science was a Democrat thing.

Excuse me, I need to go put my head in a bucket of ice water for about an hour.

Bannon’s agenda in a nutshell.

I thought Bannon’s agenda had to do with leading an army of libertarian Xtian dominionists against the forces of secular humanism?

You’re saying that all along his goal has been to turn me into a heavily armed conspiracy theorist? Like he’s the dissipated, alcoholic evil emperor and I’m a highly credulous, Semitic Luke Skywalker?

That fucking guy. Why am I always the last one to know? There was no need for all this foolishness with a President Trump or a Justice Kavanaugh, the world never had to know Anthony Scaramucci at all. Just pick up the fucking phone, Steve, and clue me in.

The last thing I’m worried about is Comey’s integrity dick measuring game with other republicans. The man is one of the single most influential people on the 2016 election and either through incompetence (or more likely intentionally) kept chumming the conspiracy waters.

At this point, I have to assume he is basking in the spotlight he has been given. There is no reason for him to be showing up all over the news for two fucking years otherwise.

The new tariffs are covering a bunch of new consumer goods (luggage, backpacks, baseball gloves, bamboo furniture, sailboats, motorboats, canoes and parking meters) but mostly all remaining industrial products. The next wave they haven’t implemented yet will be all consumer electronics, which is the only big thing left that hasn’t been taxed. The mere threat of it is making tech and computer stocks tank.

What’s funny is old clown shoes won’t even give the food away to the poor of this country cause you know that’s socialism despite the fact he’s willing to subsidize farmers regardless. He’s like the best advertisement for socialism ever since he can’t stop being so obviously greedy and ignorant.

So the exact same people who were advising Mao, then.

Nobody realized he was using that as an analogy for ā€œcausing ecological disastersā€.

I remember a story I read a long time ago about a country under despotic rule where poor ex-farmers eating the rats that were eating the cash crops that were rotting in the silos guarded by the men with guns. Capitalism!

The ā€˜T’ word gets dropped:

Lots of rumors are going to be flying around in the next few days but, this one suggesting that China might, might go ā€˜nuclear’ with US Treasuries is fucking scary.

Sure hope trump’s team of TV finance genius know what they are doing… /XLs

That would potentially fuck us up royally. Only thing is, it would probably take their economy down with it, so maybe sanity wins out in the end? These days that is asking a lot.

It really is the nuclear option, so I’m viewing this as sabre rattling designed to make 45’s advisors and handlers literally shit their pants.
