You fucking idiots who elected him. You're going to pay. We all will.
President-elect Donald Trump pledged that soon after taking office he will slap steep tariffs on Mexico and Canada, two of America’s closest allies, as well as China https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-pledges-tariffs-on-mexico-canada-and-china-3c62b1f7?st=6LoDLg

Their stupidity takes my breath away several times a day. I've shut out nearly all news since election day until I can calm down but I suspect the rest of my life is not enough time to calm down over this...

@jeffjarvis a lot of the wood for home construction is from Canadian timber. This will bring home construction to a slow crawl.

Something is telling me that Trump and his minions don't actually understand how tariffs work.
If they do, they're even more predatory than I first thought, and I have them up there with the worst.

@jeffjarvis Jeff. Do You really think Kamala would have done any better? Don't You feel that the political system is absolutely rotten?

@nomadx @jeffjarvis She wouldn't have threatened Tarrifs like this.

BTW for the idiots in the back, Tarrifs are what prolonged and deepend the depression.

@jeffjarvis We are going to have to learn not to react to every headline. This is outrage bait. He may or may not do this, but it’s the attention he wants. Let’s find ways to ignore the asshole.

We can’t ignore him.

We ignore him to our peril.

He’s no tin pot despot.

They’ve had four years to perfect their playbook.

I haven’t forgotten all of the work we did for four solid years before that to try and curb his worst inclinations.

@Pagan_Activist @jeffjarvis Not reacting to every headline is not ignoring him. That you don’t understand that is part of the problem.

Read Marc Elias’s last letter.

“That I don’t understand that is *part of the problem.”

Do you want to know what my *problem* is?

My PROBLEM is people that don’t me from a hole in the ground actually feel qualified to tell ME “what *the* (presumably my) problem is.”

Perhaps my communication skills weren’t up to par at that moment.

Perhaps I’ve been withdrawing from three different psych meds and don’t EXPRESS myself as well as I was obviously EXPECTED to.

PERHAPS *you* just didn’t glean any possibility other than your faulty conclusion.

What is definitely a FACT is I don’t appreciate your assumption that I am incapable of *understanding* a simple fucking declarative sentence!

@jeffjarvis over half of the people who in the US have reading comprehension of a 10 year old child. It would be easier to explain why these policies are terrible to children instead of stupid fucking adults.
