Kamala Harris and Michelle Obama warned us. The writer posts what they said, followed by what the asshole has done.
| Quote: |
| The Democratic presidential nominee and the former first lady warned American voters, over and over and with great specificity, what Trump would do if he won the presidency. And it’s all happening. |
| Quote: |
| “He has an enemies list of people he intends to prosecute." |
| Quote: |
| “And if we fail, it will happen quickly, in concrete ways large and small. From dismantling the Department of Education to gutting the women’s health system to prioritizing those at the top over everybody else.” |
| Quote: |
| "Tariffs on all imports that he has described would be a 20% sales tax, in essence, on basic necessities for the average American worker.” |
| Quote: |
Harris said during the campaign that one reason she felt “a second Trump term would be a huge risk for America” was this: “Donald Trump is increasingly unstable and unhinged.”
Bingo! |
| Quote: |
“I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline.”
She also added that “for Trump, we expect nothing at all, no understanding of policy, no ability to put together a coherent argument, no honesty, no decency, no morals.” |
| Quote: |
| “Donald Trump intends to cut Social Security and Medicare.” |
| Quote: |
| Trump would “weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies, round up peaceful protesters and throw them out of our country.” |
| Quote: |
| [Y]ou certainly can’t say Harris and Obama didn’t warn them and everyone else about what was coming. They did. And they were absolutely right. |

I'm curious as to how 'real' that idea is....and how near into the future (if it happens at all) that will impact people.

25% tariff on imported autos, expecting to raise $100 billion in tax revenues, goes into effect on April 2.
https://apnews.com/article/autos-tariffs-trump-tax-imports-ford-gm-e53823ef7bbb7b3c46d11eca90aaa638?utm_source=copy&utm_medium=share
| Quote: |
| The tax hike starting in April means automakers could face higher costs and lower sales, though Trump argues that the tariffs will lead to more factories opening in the United States and the end of what he judges to be a “ridiculous” supply chain in which auto parts and finished vehicles are manufactured across the United States, Canada and Mexico. |

"Elon Musk has offered to put his technical experts on this, to figure out how this number was inadvertently added to the chat — again, to take responsibility and ensure this can never happen again," she continued.
Yeah let's focus on how someone was "inadvertently" added to the chat. Forget about the fact that Signal was being used in the first place for this conversation! Who cares about security, the main thing is to use an app that people can have on their personal devices, and that self-deletes the evidence after a few weeks. Musk is definitely the right guy for the job here. This task requires absolute maximum distraction.
The country's top tech gurus are needed to understand how someone can click on the chat header and then click on add member and then select the person from their contacts and then add them at which point their addition is announced to the chat. Get some Space X staff involved as well, because this stuff is rocket science.

| Republicans are now blaming the reporter for not leaving the chat immediately. Typical GOPs pointing the blame at someone else instead of holding those accountable like Hegseth.

Well, YAAA.....I mean, that's EXACTLY what Vlad Putin or Xi Jinping do, every time they find their way into Top Secret Classified Meetings: "Oops, shouldn't be HERE!"

So when does Trump give up 25% of his staff?
That goofball press secretary wouldn't be a loss.
Neither would vice "couch humper" Vance.
Musk. Again, no loss.
We could certainly do without 25% of his "intelligence" advisors.
25% off his secret service detail, including for his family. Sounds fair.

His entire cabinet and advisors are just a dysfunctional circus. They all have their heads so far up Dumpsters' behind that they can't see the destruction going on around them. Noem is the most fake & disgusting out of all of them. The woman who shot a dog is now in El Salvador for photo opts in front of the detention center where illegals are being detained and forced into slave labor. Notice the new hair extensions she has in every week? Her make up, nails and "uniform" are perfect. Does she have a make up team travel with her? All likely at tax payers expenses.

Well, now....HERE'S some fun news (I hope?? This is from a fund-raiser for Public Citizen)
| Quote: |
We have breaking news in one of our lawsuits to stop the Trump regime’s attack on the federal government.
On Friday afternoon, a federal judge ruled that the Trump administration cannot shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — and must undo the actions already taken to dismantle it — while the case proceeds.
Here are a few things the judge said in her 112-page ruling (when she says “plaintiffs” she is talking about our side):
Trump officials were “fully engaged in a hurried effort to dismantle and disable the agency entirely ... in complete disregard for the decision Congress made 15 years ago, which was spurred by the devastating financial crisis of 2008 and embodied in the United States Code, that the agency must exist and that it must perform specific functions to protect the borrowing public.”
“Before it can step in, the Court must conclude that the plaintiffs are likely to succeed on their claims, that they would suffer irreparable harm in the meantime if the Court lets the lawsuit run its course, and that an injunction would be in the public interest. The Court has made those findings, and the answer is an overwhelming yes: the Court can and must act.”
“The elimination of the agency was interrupted only because plaintiffs sought and obtained the Court’s intervention on the day the overwhelming majority of the employees were going to be fired.”
The administration’s “contention they were intent on doing what the law required them to do collapsed like a balloon at the end of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.”
Here’s more about this case:
In 2008, Wall Street’s reckless greed set off a worldwide financial crisis.
So Congress, exercising its constitutional authority to regulate commerce, established a new federal agency — the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) — to protect the American people from wrong or unfair conduct by Big Banks and other giant financial institutions.
Public Citizen played a major role in the creation of the CFPB.
Since its creation in 2011, the CFPB has recovered billions for everyday Americans and helped create a fairer, more transparent financial marketplace.
Donald Trump has openly declared his intent to “totally eliminate” the CFPB.
The Trump administration cannot lawfully dismantle the CFPB — its attempt to do so is in defiance of the Constitution’s separation of powers.
The attempt to eliminate the CFPB has imposed significant harm on consumers all across the country.
Based on a careful review of the facts showing the administration’s unlawful conduct, the judge issued an order requiring the administration to maintain “the agency’s existence until this case has been resolved on the merits, reinstating and preserving the agency’s contracts, work force, data, and operational capacity, and protecting and facilitating the employees’ ability to perform statutorily required activities.”
Public Citizen, along with co-counsel, is representing the National Treasury Employees Union, CFPB Employee Association, NAACP, National Consumer Law Center, Ted Steege, and Virginia Poverty Law Center in this case.
This is one of seven active lawsuits Public Citizen is pursuing against the Trump regime so far. If the cases are starting to blur together, don’t worry — you don’t have to read every email or keep track of all the ins and outs. We will keep sending updates so you have at least an overall sense of how we’re fighting back against the Trump/Musk/DOGE/MAGA onslaught.

And everything just got more expensive.
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trumps-sweeping-new-tariff-plan/story?id=120425851
| Quote: |
The new tariffs feature two key policies: A uniform 10% tariff for all imports and "reciprocal" tariffs imposed on many nations that place duties on U.S. imports.
The universal 10% tariff amounts to a wide-ranging trade barrier that will touch every product that enters the U.S. |

| I’m a little suspicious why Trump wants all this tariff money. Supposedly it goes into the US treasury, but I’d keep a sharp out eye out and make sure none of it gets funneled into any Trump or Musk accounts.

| Gas has already jumped 10-15 cents. Take note in your grocery store of any international foods and their prices over the next few weeks. Of course, MAGAs will simply say just buy American foods.

For which you will probably pay the same amount or more, capitalism at its finest.
