Nothing Says "Presidential" Like a White House Crypto Fundraiser!

The sub thing is fake news.  The US doesn't make the smaller diesel sub class that Canada is looking for to replace their small current fleet. They sent an RFP to Korea, Japan, Sweden  Germany, France, Spain in November after announcing it in September of last year.  So..spare the faux outrage.  It's more nonsense from the leftist media.  Korea responded to their RFP.  I expect the others will as well.  Shouldn't they?

Musk being swept under the carpet?  As a special government employee, he can only work 130 days in a year.  He's still working on DOGE about a day a week and the organization is still in place.  He also has Tesla shareholders that want him to spend more time on Tesla since your team has declared war.  Did they ever identify the Washington fire bomber btw?

Liberal States suing the Admin? Say it ain't so.  The Pubs did the same with the Biden Admin all the time.  Isn't the first and won't be the last.

...the overall timing is interesting, to say the least...and outrage? Dude, I've stated so many times that I'm chuckling in my ongoing dark humor at this moron-a-thon that I can't count how many it's been, but hey...you remain selective about what you read from me. I guess the consistency of the inconsistency is...something?

Very real issues are coming from this very real assclown collective posing as an administration. I actually wonder if we're going to see a MTG/Bondi cage match for a huge crypto jackpot, soon...as both of the babbling, bulls**tting blondes look like they're picking "sides" in the fragmenting gop...!

Sad and worrisome as it is, and as drooling stupid as this administration looks (while, sadly, making the whole country look like dunce cap divas), it's funny the way a MAD Magazine on the End of Days would still have been funny...!

Bitcoin price is quite satisfying.

The important thing, as always, is for the orange stain to get camera time shouting "DEAL!"...but, yeah, it's rarely good news to actually look at the details.

Turning the screws on Americans for camera time: that's our prez!

"The point of comparison should be the average tariff rate on imports from the U.K. before Trump took office. In 2023, the most recent year for which full data are available, the average U.S. tariff on British goods was 3.3 percent.

That means this "deal" charges American consumers a 10 percent baseline tax on goods that were previously taxed at 3.3 percent. That's not a win for free trade or lower prices.

Meanwhile, it is British consumers who will benefit from lower tariffs. According to the White House, the deal means that American exports to the U.K. will now face an average tariff rate of 1.8 percent, down from 5.1 percent before the deal. (In 2023, average U.K. tariffs on American goods were 3.8 percent, so that 5.1 percent figure seems inflated)."

Grab those ankles, American consumers....

Access to UK market increased by 11 billion dollars.  Tariffs on Us products reduced by 4%.  Tariffs increased on UK by 6%.  lol.  Orange man not as stupid as posters labeling him that.  Well, unless you’re terrified of all those UK products somehow driving huge price hikes creases when they produce very little that can’t be sourced internally or cheaper elsewhere.

The UK Finance Minister says they expect a 0.3 percent contraction in their economy as a result of the tariffs.  Doesn't sound like a big windfall to me for the UK.
