David Kurtz looks at what Musk-Trump are doing to the government and the economy and sees a common theme: the intent to destroy:
"The damage will be so vast and foreseeable that it’s hard not to veer into wondering about Trump’s motives in unleashing this much destruction on his own country."

"But as with the simultaneous destruction of American science and medicine, research and development, and civic and governmental capacity, taking away things in order to extort more power, privilege, and baubles remains the best explanation for Trump’s rampage. There is no public good, only what is good for Trump."

@wdlindsy@toad.social"It's going to be huge. We're going to be liberated from friends and allies. We're going to be liberated from reasonable prices. We're going to be liberated from rational relationship between trade policy and the economy and other foreign policy interests. And dammit, we're going to be liberated from the need not to be assholes."

“Monstrously destructive, incoherent, ill-informed tariffs based on fabrications, imagined wrongs, discredited theories and ignorance of decades of evidence. And the real tragedy is that they will hurt working Americans more than anyone else.”
~ Economist Justin Wolfers

Like I said before, I didn't realize a president could impose tariffs on a whim. I thought regulating foreign trade was Congress's job. I'm so dumb.
The #Republican Party is a #RubberStamp for #Trump, just like the #Nazi Party was for #Hitler
That is true, but there are still some Democrats in the House and Senate.
And it feels like they will never stand up to him...until they do.
No one knows the tipping point. But once we find it, we'll all believe of course it was bound to happen, this was all too crazy.
So I'm going to keep calling.
Please add #Republicans to your list of causes. The #GOP is 100% responsible for all of this.
