WaPo headline:
"Trump announces 100% tariffs on China after stocks sank on earlier threats"

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of...Trump.

Via WaPo:
"The Labor Department warned in an obscure document filed last week that the president’s crackdown is cutting off agriculture’s labor supply and threatening “the stability of domestic food production.”

Golly, who could have possibly foreseen THAT repercussion?

Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"

For the hundred bajillionth time, imagine if this was done during Biden's administration. And I wonder what Hegseth would have said.

Hegseth: "I'm also proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho."

This was published 20 years ago. I naturally thought of you when I ran across it today.

4 panels, Joe to Danae: "So...what did you learn in school today, Danae?"
Danae: "That's for me to know, and you to find out".
Third panel, Danae walks away, Joe just looking at her.
4th panel, Joe to Danae: "Still have your heart set on a Supreme Court nomination, eh?"
Danae replies: "I'm not sayin'..."

I'm waiting for them to declare the No Kings protest march is a call to get rid of Christians because, you know, as the bumper sticker says, "Christ is King".

Your mind-numbing thought for the day... This horrific shitshow has been accomplished in less than a year and the horror grows exponentially every day...and we still have over 3 years to go.

That's weird. Our 12 year old grandson isn't circumcised and our daughter didn't take Tylenol. So either he's not really Autistic or RFK jr is full of shit. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say both things can't be true.

Yes, the guy is invading our cities and about to invoke the Insurrection Act to justify invading our cities absolutely deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. And the Heisman Trophy, too!

Larry Kudlow to Sen. Eric Schmitt: "You and I should get on a plane, go to Davos or go to the UN or go to the Democratic Socialists who make these Nobel Prize decisions -- I think they'd rather shoot themselves than give him the Peace Prize. He deserves the Peace Prize."

Since it’s Stephen Miller who is controlling Trump, he’s the one who really has plenary authority. Nothing to worry about there.

And, of course, projection, like this post today in the comments section on my GoComics page:

"democrats seem to only believe the false narratives put out by the lame-stream media leftwing politicians. that's not really being informed. many hate the president because their TV told them too."

I've been getting that same "argument" for over 20 years. It was presented in Hannity's first book and parroted ever since as if it means...something.

Got this email today. Trying to reason with Trumpers is a fool's errand.

"You do realize that the Confederacy was the demonrats, right? And that the Republican party was founded on being anti-slavery? Or are just you trying to edit out history you don't like?"

Precisely the purpose of the president's threats.

"Oregon officials say the atmosphere outside an ICE building that has drawn daily demonstrations since June has grown worse since the president’s threats."
