April 5th<\/sup> 2025<\/p>\n

When the Dow drops 3,600 points\u20149% of its value\u2014in just two days, it\u2019s pretty safe to say market conditions are \u2018unsettled\u2019 in much the same way that Grindavik is unsettled.<\/p>\n

My guess is we\u2019ll see a partial recovery Monday, and then the slide will resume. It\u2019s illegal to manipulate markets for a quick and dirty profit, but that\u2019s hardly going to slow down Donald Trump, America\u2019s most powerful con man. He\u2019ll keep right on making announcements that will manipulate the market to his advantage.<\/p>\n

The game has already begun. Erik the Moron piped up today, saying that the tariffs were \u201cnegotiable\u201d and the first countries to negotiate would get the best deals.<\/p>\n

While that made perfect sense to a dimwitted conman, it will also completely blows up the premise behind Trump\u2019s tariffs. The stated reason is that it will force manufacturing to either move to America or start up there. But that means the tariffs have to be inflexible and permanent. Nobody is going to go to the trouble and expense of moving their operations stateside only to find the tariffs have been dropped or reduced and they find themselves competing with competitors back in their previous locales who didn\u2019t move.<\/p>\n

The sheer hucksterism of \u201cmove now because these deals won\u2019t last\u201d is pretty jawdropping.<\/p>\n

Of course, to make a factory that was paying its employees $1.50 a day to set up shop in America means that to make it work, the have to slash pay scales and find a way to greatly reduce all other costs to match what they were paying in Vietnam or Laos or wherever. In other words, to make it worth the overhead of the tariffs, they would have to cut everything to third world levels: no OSHA, no FDA, no EPA, no minimum wage, nothing.<\/p>\n

Donald, of course is working hard to get rid of all that crap. It\u2019s patriotic to send your eight year old to work in a poisonous, dangerous place where they might live to be 12 if they\u2019re lucky. Florida is already working on legislation to replace migrant labor with child labor. No, I\u2019m not kidding.<\/p>\n

Warren Buffet, who knows a thing or two about the markets, suggested that Trump also inflicted the incoherent tariffs in order to drive interest rates up, something that would also greatly profit the markets. That statement left Donald screaming in rage, which tells you that Buffet pretty much nailed it.<\/p>\n

Trump is openly defying courts, ignoring direct orders not to send innocent people to his gulags, knowing that the five fascists on the supreme court will rule in his favor. It won\u2019t be Donald who ends the United States: it will be Thomas, Kavanaugh, Alito, Gorsuch and Coney Barrett, none of whom seem to realize that once they\u2019ve ended the country, they will no longer have any importance to anyone. Some of them are rich and will do OK in the new plutocracy, but lawn jockeys like Thomas and religious whack jobs like Coney Barret will find themselves on the outside looking in.<\/p>\n

Basically, the plutocrats are working to parcel out the United States and make it an impoverished third-world nation while making off with tens of trillions in profits. It\u2019s the biggest heist in history. Then they move on to the next prosperous zone and conduct a parasitic orgy there. China would be a sensible target since it\u2019s already authoritarian. If they aren\u2019t stopped, your life, and the life of your children, will be one of misery and deprivation.<\/p>\n

Think Trump and his manipulators are not out to ruin your life and kill your children? Consider this Raw Story news article today: \u201cA federal judge in Rhode Island accused the Trump<\/a> administration of “covertly” withholding funds for Federal Emergency Management Agency<\/a> disaster relief programs from states that didn’t vote for him, Courthouse News reported<\/a> on Friday. In March, U.S. District Judge John McConnell issued a preliminary injunction in favor of 23 states that sued the government<\/a> over its plan to implement a broad pause to state aid,” noted the report.\u201d <\/i><\/p>\n

A court finding is a bit more than a accusation. The reason McConnell ruled the way he did was because he had solid, incontrovertible evidence that Trump was deliberately cheating people for the crime of living in a state that didn\u2019t vote for him.<\/p>\n

Pussy Riot, indisputably the bravest rock group in the world, showed up in Manhattan today to urge Americans stand up for themselves against Trump\u2019s planned tyranny. The cowardice of the Republicans is well documented. Democrats, as always, are divided on the notion of whether \u2018tis nobler to be spineless, gutless, boot-licking cowards or not. Fortunately, most are not.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the same as with the American public, where I\u2019ve had people tell me they won\u2019t come to today\u2019s demonstrations because they want to keep their heads down and survive. Understandable, but I have to wonder what makes them think life outside of Trump\u2019s gulags will be any improvement. He plans to leave you in poverty and squalor. That\u2019s what\u2019s in store. At least in prison you\u2019ll get moldy bread and contaminated water, just like you would outside. And inside, nobody expects you to pretend to love Trump. Hopefully.<\/p>\n

As most of you know, four American serviceman drowned in Lithuania in a motor vehicle mishap. Their bodies were eventually all recovered, and as the caskets were taken to the airport yesterday for the flight back to America, thousands of Lithuanians lined the streets to pay their respects.<\/p>\n

The servicemen landed today, but Donald Trump wasn\u2019t there.<\/p>\n

He had a golf tournament to watch. That was more important than losers and suckers.<\/p>\n

The rallies against Trump begin in an hour and a half (I\u2019m finishing this at 7:25 PDT). I\u2019m hoping nationwise five million will show up, but I think three million will get the point across. There may have do be more than one day of rallies, and widespread strikes and boycotts. But if we want our freedoms back, that\u2019s what it\u2019s going to take.<\/p>\n

In a world of Cory Bookers, don\u2019t be a Mike Johnson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
