The Mediocrity of MAGA
If you elect unqualified, corrupt, reckless people, don't be surprised if you win the world's worst prizes. For America, it's a terrible economy, endless scandals, and a white nationalist regime.

Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

So, Trump’s plan is to give a $2K one time payment to Americans instead of to insurance companies, but Americans are supposed to use the $2K to buy insurance from insurance companies.
Did I get that right?
Not only is it willfully insufficient for people’s healthcare needs, but it’s nonsensical.

Trump asks why they don’t have more immigrants from Sweden, Norway and non “sh*thole countries”.
People in those countries don’t want to immigrate to the US.

One of the reasons servicemembers, from admirals and generals to the greenest private, should know “don’t follow illegal orders” is that this administration is a goulash of dishonorable character flaws like cowardice and dishonesty. There is no bus under which these pissants will not throw you.
NYT:
Five officials told us that Hegseth had nothing to do with the second strike
Washpost (which broke the story 2 days ago):
“This is ‘protect Pete’ bullshit,”
and
“It’s throwing us, the service members, under the bus.”

The right's anti-empathy shtick has predictably slid into straight psychopathy. At worst these are low-level cocaine smugglers. More likely they're locals trying to make some extra income. Some are likely innocent.
Meanwhile, Trump just pardoned a high-level distributor. And an ex-dealer leads HHS.
