Notably: From Statista: “The U.S. stock market had its worst week since 2020 on Thursday, as investors were trying to digest President Trump’s sweeping tariff announcements from the day before. The surprisingly high additional tariffs – a 10 percent baseline tariff on all imports plus significantly higher rates for countries considered “bad actors” in trade – sent shockwaves around the world, as they threaten to upend the status quo of the global economy in one fell swoop. Global markets plummeted in the wake of the announcement, as the repercussions of the U.S. turning back time to the early 1900s will be felt everywhere from China to Europe – nowhere more so than in the United States, though. Unsurprisingly, the U.S. stock market was most heavily affected by the “Liberation Day” selloff, as the S&P 500 fell 4.7 percent, the tech-heavy Nasdaq plummeted 6 percent and the Dow Jones lost 4 percent, wiping out $2.5 trillion in market capitalization of U.S.-listed stocks. The so-called Magnificent 7 alone shed more than $800 billion in market cap on Thursday on what has been the worst day for U.S. stocks since the Covid-19 pandemic rattled markets in early 2020. For now, Trump’s “America First” policies have put the country last – at least in terms of stock market performance. ”

“There is a word in German. Gedankenübertragung. This is the broadcasting of thoughts. We are all beginning to have this thought, of American irrelevance. It’s a little like telepathy. Soon the day is coming when nobody has to think about America except for the danger it brings. It is losing the center. It becomes the center of its own shit. This is the only center it occupies.”
–From Don DeLillo’s Falling Man (2007).

… slouching along with her true god, a floriduh woman has a particularly odoriferous brain fart; and per usual for the trump regime, it’s another blatant attack on our country’s foundation and the memory of its creation.
Trump stooge alert: Moody’s idea of “specialty courts” has a totalitarian ring to it
Frank Cerabino
Palm Beach Post
“Have you ever thought about being a judge for a brand new “specialty court”?
What’s that? You don’t have a law degree, and you don’t even watch reruns of Judge Judy.
I don’t think that’s going to be a problem. You’d be a very special judge. Like those ones you see on Dancing with the Stars or The Voice, except this time it’s at the highest levels of government and the stakes are enormous.
Yes, you’d be so special that your existence and powers are not even mentioned in the U.S. Constitution.
But it has been mentioned this past week by an august legal mind, U.S. Sen. Ashley Moody…”

White supremacist, looney Laura Loomer; white supremacist, chainsaw wielding Musk; and white supremacist, economically clueless Trump are now running this country.
What could go wrong?
