And that’s how screwed up the GOP is

[@jenjames4113]

Give him time... Trump will get better at hiding his dirty deeds, and therein will lie the most danger.

[@MaggieLarocque]

He is not that smart. Vance is. Watch out for him.

A correction: Prigozhin’s private jet got shot down. Doesn’t change the overall message

[@Donna-tm7dz]

Hmmm

[@PeggySMitchell]

Pompeo put an exploratory committee together to see about running in 2024. He was smugly confident.and that drove Trump nuts. That’s, in my opinion, the reason Pompeii’s security detail was cancelled by Trump.

[@Donna-tm7dz]

It’s reason enough for Donald.

JVL has scooped up another generous batch of existential dread that I thought not absorbable. Here we are in week 2, it’s abominable.

[@ecbh8487]

Well, of those pardoned, one is back in prison, and another is dead.

[@AM-fs1je]

1498 to go.

[@shanesteel3757]

Did you guys really think trump has any common sense lol

[@CharlahR-r9l]

So I think JVL may be all that helps me through this--keep the truth coming!!

[@jaimeflores7730]

Tats not truth is an imaginary opinions that's all

[@susanbrown4891]

Thank you, Tim and JVL.

[@marygemmacapodanno2035]

I knew how bad it could get. Just ask anyone who had to listen to me complain and cry about Trump for two years.

[@blackeyedlily]

Sharpening their knives like Madam DeFarge indeed!

[@pamelavendetti1844]

Great newsletter. This one a must read.

[@gamtngirl3655]

JVL, you are spot on. And with Tim, you two are hysterical even in the horrible darkness. 😔

[@katsmandou]

Trump is a MOBSTER, plain and simple.

[@TheWeezieW]

Yep, and DOWN WE GO - no point in even asking or wondering "how low". SCARY, but better to know. Thanks for the REALITY CHECK guys. Blessings.

[@ChaseNoStraighter]

Every time I think about how bad it can get and everyone thinks I’m crazy, I find I underestimate by probably a factor of two.

[@all-outphysiology2177]

One good thing: Colombia firmly said "No" and all that happened was your coffee price went up. But this is what will happen, world leaders will say no to his insane demands (e.g., Greenland; he'll retaliate with tariffs on Denmark, and since Denmark does not set its own tariffs the EU will have to respond in kind, and if there are tariffs on Canada and Mexico already, the price of EVERYTHING ELSE will go up). Tea, anyone?

[@lovesmusic0845]

Columbia folded. They are taking back their migrants. Trump backed off the tariffs.

[@MaggieLarocque]

Do not forget you have ZERO potash and depend on us for it. Good luck with that in future. No potash = no fertilizer for farmers. This is about a lot more than the cost of a cup of coffee. PS You import tea too.

[@Tumblinsun]

Colombia capitulated already when Dump threatened them with tariffs

[@heidimueller1039]

Columbia caved! And from what their President wrote to the Don, he’s not doing quite right on the sane chart.

[@all-outphysiology2177]

@@MaggieLarocque I'm from the UK, so we have potash like most countries who've ever mined anything. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boulby_Mine. And we don't put tariff barriers on tea because our leaders are not children!
