I needed a replacement for an item hat failed under warranty. The original part was made in Canada, and a replacement was mailed to me free of charge. Except, I got a note from FedEx that i had to pay tarriffs… My tariff was $5, but FedEx was charging a $25 tariff handling fee on top of the $5. And if I didn’t prepay, they would instead charge $40 total to collect my $5 tarriff.

FUCK FedeEx for having the audacity to request a refund from the federal government on top of their blind extortion. These fuckers need to burn.

When he says the economy is doing well, it’s when he personally is doing well. And when he says the economy stinks, it’s when he personally is losing money or about to be tossed in the clink.

The grift is going well for him right now, so by his terms, the economy is going gangbusters. He doesn’t give a fuck about anyone but himself.

His tariff announcements are simply an opportunity for him to sell high and but low (plus an opportunity to extract personal contributions from the countries that play ball with him).

American Evangelicism is just fascism with wrapping paper and a bow. Their beliefs stand in stark constant to what Jesus actually taught, and they pick, choose, and misinterpret the Bible to support their pre-existing beliefs while discarding the rest. They lie to themselves and each other and speak in coded language. Since their outward appearance is simply a veneer covering their true beliefs, when Trump came along and started saying everything they felt, and doing the hideous actions they all want to do, it didn’t matter that he doesn’t hide behind a veneer or speak in coded language. He is a perfect reflection of who they truly are, and as a result they see him as a prophet or even Messiah.

It’s because the American Evangelicals are not, and have never been, who they claim to be. They’re hideous, hateful, selfish people that somewhere deep down knew they needed a cover for their horrendous nature.

The way that bat has it’s wings crossed, I’d describe it as a bit of a ‘folder’.
