Seems like intentionally damaging the full faith & credit of the United States in order to do insider trading for the benefit of your political supporters could be an impeachable offense. He told people to buy stocks only minutes before he announced the new policy of pausing tariffs for 90 days. The Republican Party is using our government and US stock market to conduct the most massive insider trading & racketeering scheme in US history.

This is why emptying out DOJ, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau started by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the IRS and the SEC, has been such a high priority for the Republicans.

Journalists presently credulously reporting and/or salivating over our residing in the "pump" portion of the "pump & dump" process, are fucking idiots and you should note who they are and stop reading their work.

As a collective, we have one choice at this point: get smarter & more aggressive on literally every front, or...lose.

Reminds me so much of the Very Serious & Rational Men reassuring everyone during his Twitter purchase that Musk was 1) a business person with sane business reasons & also somehow 2) just a dumb-dumb.One thing it DEFINITELY WASN'T - you paranoid & hysterical ladies - a non-economic move to achieve his right wing political goals. Anyhoo.

I think the "Trump is just a dummy who knows nothing about the market" takes are lazy & encourage us to be lazy & let further harms pass by without action.There are massive apparatuses with many people in them, that drive these market moves by the GOP who run the US govt now. It's not all being run by Trump. It's very naive to approach this with One Big Man theory.

Like, congrats Jon Favreau, you wrote a snarky post that reads well with your liberal readership.“Art of the Deal: 1) Impose massive tariffs on nearly every country that crash the markets and create the conditions for global economic collapse 2) Make zero deals with zero countries 3) Pause tariffs 4) VICTORY!!”Great, you can all clap each other on the back about how GOP idiots are being dumb. It's true as far as it goes, but also shows you completely unprepared to do counter it.

But what do I know, I'm just a Paranoid Hysterical Lady with advanced degrees in the history of fascism, and a record of seeing all the flags that mattered, way before the Very Serious Men with Very Serious Reps and Very Serious Think Tank Paychecks.

I am glad some Very Serious Men are finally ringing alarm bells and honestly, the more the merrier, but I just can't believe they think they're still the best people to be in charge of this battle, given past performance. Never tired of failing up. I'm just dumbfounded most of the time now.

Like, would it kill you dudes to have a little more humility, and a little more skepticism about both your priors and how bad things really are over there among the GOP? There are actual vicious traitors throughout their ranks. Start with Roger Stone. I just don't get what the dudebros in the Democratic Party actually think is happening right now. What is their theory of the case? They seem stupid to me.
