It's All Gone to HELL!!!!!

~ Well, the orange man has done it. He instituted a series of tarriffs on the world and the stock market reacted immediately by dropping over 4000 points the past 2 days. And is he still in DC to take the heat? Of course not! He's at his "Southern White House", hosting a Saudi-backed golf tournament and a million dollar a plate fundraiser. He also was NOT in Delaware to attend the dignified transfer of four American soldiers who died during a training exercise in Lithuania last week. Instead, he sent Pete Hegseth - what an act of disrespect! It's becoming more and more obvious that Trump has no interest in performing the duties of the office except when it garners him attention and press coverage. He does not care to make the tough decisions the job demands and certainly takes no responsiblity for the dire results of his decisions (or the decisions of his appointed underlings.) Musk received a major beat down in the Wisconsin supreme court election this week - the Democratic candidate won by 10 points! And the 2 Florida elections for replacement House reps was much closer than anticipated, although the GOP won. ~ Today is Hands Off day - 50 states, 50 demonstrations, 1 day. I had planned to go but now I'm thinking I just want to stay home and quilt and take a day off from the dissonance. Let the younger folks take up the fight. I'll call it self care. ~ Oh, and all those tarriffs? Included were several islands with no population so no exports. I think the list was generated by AI. Reportedly the formula used to calculate the amounts wasn't decided upon until 3 hours before the splashy presentation in the Rose Garden. Way to give the interns enough time to catch any errors! And way to make you like like the buffoon you are! ~ And the hits keep coming in Trump's retribution against Gov. Mills, who stood up to him. The government is witholding funding from U Maine and the public schools until the Gov. apologizes. To her credit, Gov. Janet has stated she will not apologize. Expect a huge court case about this. And Maine has joined just about every lawsuit against the Feds for their reckless actions.
