In honor of Mario Paint arriving on Switch, here is a very dumb movie I made with Mario Paint when I was a kid. You could only make/save one short little animation loop at a time, so to put a story together I had to make each shot and record them one by one on an old Betamax VCR.

But again, real financial support is necessary.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.
