Thank you for highlighting the sheer and blatant buffoonery being perpetrated on us by Navarro, Lutnick and the other cretins who now comprise the Clown Cabinet of the new administration. While you might think that they ought to be ashamed of themselves, the truth is that they have no shame. They are focused entirely on upending the status quo for the sole purpose of controlling it themselves so that they can profit. We need to act quickly and decisively to remove the whole lot of them from office and try to restore as much as possible of what they have destroyed in such a short period of time. It’s only been a little over two months and they have already wreaked havoc on what was a functioning global economy!!!

REMOVE TRUMP AND HIS CLOWNS FROM THE HALLS OF GOVERNMENT NOW!!!!!! Not next year or in four years, we may not HAVE a government to save if we wait that long; GET THEM OUT NOW!!!

Tell you what. All the journalists who never fact checked Vara? All the Christians who offer thoughts and prayers?

Americans. Lazy, ignorant, belligerent, stubborn.

You know, over in Finland, children are taught critical thinking from their first days in school. Go check out their cultural, social, and economic indicators.

American children once were taught “critical thinking,” but that was lost in the push for science and math to compete with China—which has been a totally failed policy.

We are all somewhat sane people forced to live in an insane asylum known as Trump’s America.

At least 33% of us can clearly see what's happening around us, 33% are watching the black box telling them, "don't believe your eyes, ears or neighbor believe what WE tell you", while drool slips out the edge of their moths, and 33% DO NOT GIVE A F---, as they are stoned, (maybe a good idea), playing video games, or just trying to keep their heads down and get through life as unscathed as possible.

We the 33% that are aware need to be out in the streets, at our congresscritters offices, constantly agitating, kinda like the French, God love them, who are in the streets even on a good day, and wrest OUR country from the Navarro's, Looney Lutnik's, Trashy Trumps, and billionaire psychopaths of which there are many so it seems!

Here is a bit of advice from an old academic; read John Maynard Keynes, then try Stephanie Kelton's THE DEFICIT MYTH.

Peter Navarro is a scumbag liar and a fraud. Remember his bullshit “Green Bay Sweep” in 2020 when he tried to get Dirtbag Donnie another term as president? Trump is so stupid that he believed all of that crap. Despite all that, Navarro is still around. Why isn’t he fired? Because he’s loyal to Trump. That’s all that matters. Ability and intelligence mean nothing. Maybe Navarro could teach Trump about how tariffs really work. He probably doesn’t know.

As a former educator, a student would have been disciplined for forging a source. However, it looks as though Middle School has stricter requirements & expectations than the current regime.

Holy Toledo, I feel like I’ve been stabbed in the heart. I avoided politics for two days, just two days and I’m overwhelmed already.

I woke up from a nightmare where I was running from some big (the biggest) mafia boss and their henchman who were out to destroy me and my friends. A stranger, a returned veteran, rescued me and we went on the run hiding out. Then my new friend was dying in a most horrific way, and just then the big boss showed up with his guards, and I stormed up to him enraged and punched him in the face. He and his security were so shocked, they did nothing but stare at me with their jaws dropped. Then he stared at me and asked in a shocked tone. What do you want from me? I said just leave us alone. I said you got what you wanted and my hero is dying. Leave us alone and let him die in my arms.

Then I woke up, thought of the current situation, and thought this is not a dream.

Super Reporting!

Great Independent Journalism!

Don’t you wish you could get some “Justice” for lying creeps and frauds like Peter Navarro?

I seem to recall he did get convicted for some crime!

But wait!

Another criminal granted Navarro a pardon! Donald “have-I-gotta-deal-for-you” Trump!

It stops being a whimsical device and becomes fraud when you realize people are accepting it and you don't admit that you are clueless..
