He (and/or his family) is/are playing the roller coaster somehow. This was all entirely predictable. He has both the power to tip the scales and the ethical void to scoop money out of whichever side is higher that day.

It’s just the worst when you’re not sure which situation you’re looking at, and you’re not sure if you should be worried yet. Namely because you can’t quite remember if the last time you saw said object was really the last time you saw it, after suddenly remembering that you hadn’t seen it in a while.

Hey—so uh—you didn’t say whose fingers were have to sacrifice. This is a no brainier.

tariffs are essentially sales taxes based on origin rather than point of sale.

I’m guessing this will make sales taxes go up too. We are now paying taxes on the taxes.

A bit of a meta comment, but that’s excellent focus control.

Where was his due process?

Oh shoot, the GOP left some data laying around. Don’t worry. They will begin deleting such facts immediately.

which was all done according to procedure

I know a twist of wording when I see it. But was it done according to policy, regulation, and/or law?

They called it unsinkable.

A tale as old as time itself. I just see a boy and his triceratops.

 

I’m going to editorialize a bit here. The DoD was ready to fire every probationary employee today. An AF Lieutenant General came to tears yesterday breaking the news to staff. And this is not just first year employees as the media keeps pointing out- this changed this to two years in 2015 for the DoD. For many excepted employees, it actually takes three years to leave the probationary period. Doing rough math (3 years out of a 30 year career- that’s 10% of that particular population). It took “woke” CNN to point out the law that you can’t just fire ~6% of the workforce without first determining what will break.

Too bad this wasn’t law for the IRS and other agencies.
