From The Associated Press (yeah, those bums):
Stocks tumbled in morning trading on Wall Street Tuesday as a trade war between the U.S. and its key trading partners escalated, wiping out all the gains for the S&P 500 since Election Day.
“Only I can fix it,” the other bum sez. He’s fixin’ it, a’ight. Tariffic.
Mad Blog Media 
I guarantee you a friend of a friend of a friend shorted a metric shitte tonne of stocks 48 hours before the WH announced damn the economy, full speed ahead with the tariffs. And today they’re out there buying at nickels to the dollar.
Also guarantee you that within two years, we’re out of NATO and formally aligned with Russia. Why did we cancel our cyber defense programs? Cuz we’ll be on each other’s payroll.
It’s a grift, always has been, always will be. No way that family can look at Putin’s wealth and not be thinking, I gotta wet my beak with some of that action.
Yup. For this pimp and his hoors, USA = ATM. The cruelty is just icing on the cake.
Yep, and. if you think they will give up the scam in 2028, I have Miami beach front condos to sell you.
That is Tom Waits and Jack Nicholson, right?
Yes indeedy, from the film “Ironweed,” a nice bit of cinema and an even better book.
Addendum: William Kennedy wrote the screenplay for the film based on his novel. And he also wrote (with Francis Ford Coppola) the screenplay for “The Cotton Club,” in which Tom Waits also had a small role.
Waits also did the music for Coppola’s “One from the Heart,” a stinkeroo that tanked so badly that Coppola was forced to sell his Zoetrope Studio.
I can’t believe it’s WWIII season already. I still have my Pandemic decorations up.
Boom goes the dynamite!
He shoots, he scores!
Round here (cue Counting Crows tune) we use HAI to avoid ever hearing the whiny, bitchy voice of tRump & Co. That’s right…Herbs Actual Intelligence. We deftly side stepped his State of the Union Lie Fest and Cult Worship and did other useful things. Like filing our taxes although we suspect we’ll never see the refund we should get.
Herb, no need to file this year. The woefully understaffed and poorly equipped IRS is losing half its head count, and I get the feeling that audits will be few and far between.
