Two of my favorite most powerful voices on our side, who happen to be women (who will fucking save us and the country). They had to know the tariffs were a scheme, and they operated like a scheme (alternately crashing and blowing up the stock market). Now we learn Nutlick's sons now running Cantor/Fitzgerald have a scheme to buy out the corporate tariff reimbursements at 25% and then collect the 75% of the reimbursements for themselves, while no doubt breaking off a taste for the orange one.

so Jo, are you going to the State of the Swamp? You mentioned going to DC next week. I'm here for it and some early sightseeing. I'm gathering my courage to walk by the WH.

According to the poster for the “State of the Swamp”, Joanne Carducci will be one of the speakers. It begins at 7 pm at defiance.org

I'm actually going to be there in person.

Great conversation, as always. Yes, he's going to try to pressure Maduro into providing him the justification to obstruct the midterms. The oil is a distraction. Will Tuesday be your first time in DC since December? Same place, but at the same time very different.🫩🫩 Glad Allison is taking a break. If anyone has earned one, it's her. As for you, make Damned sure that you get some decompression time. Have a wonderful evening and hug the kids for me.😃😘

You ladies rock! I feel better about the midterms, and that’s a big deal! Thanks for this, I hope you get together again soon.

The SCOTUS ruling doesn’t matter. Cheeto has immunity.

Thank you Jo Jo

I live North of the border and I am much more comfortable cursing Co-Pilot than talking on the phone. I began trying to write in Chicago in the 1990s. I was fairly impressive at the University of Chicago despite not finishing DeVry. At the age of seven I had a PhD vocabulary and a genius in abstract mathematics and could not do school because I was slothful and I attended English Protestant School in Cote des Neiges where Kamala Harris and Leonard Cohen attended the same Protestant schools and spoke a foreign language called English. I was slothful but the harder I tried the more slothful I became.

I was reading Shakespeare and soiling my diapers, we didn't have television till I was six and failing kindergarten. I am not a New Yorker but I have lots of family in another country from cousins to a great grandchild with ages from 100 to two and I am sore afraid for them. It is called empathy. I've been drunk twice in my 78 years. The first time was because I didn't know better and the second time was because I knew enough to get pissed drunk where I could do no harm and help was there to take care of me. I know alcohol from the outside because drinking makes me sick and my cardiologist put me on a GLP after a cardiac episode that was never explained except through computer analysis. It makes sick and shitting and vomiting all day ain't my idea of fun. I am having the most interesting of lives. I am living in the most interesting of times.

My wife taught Chicago Style Thesis writing. My wife's master's degree in in science education at Chicago where there is no longer a Faculty of Education. Pope Leo attended Chicago a university where education is not for those who know everything about everything. Pope Leo is persona non grata in Quebec where 85% of the population is Roman Catholic and speaking as a Jew it may be the most Christian society on the planet because religion and politics is against the law. My wife and I quit the ACLU because they oppose our line in the sand. Thomas Paine said it best. Religion and politics are a toxic mix.

Peter the Small and his Crusaders practiced for the Crusades slaughtering the Jewish Villagers in the Rhine Valley to prepare the way to Jerusalem. Jews lived in the Rhineland before Jesus was immaculately conceived.

Chicago style thesis writing requires evidence as opposed to the American Psychological Association Style where anything goes. Is it any wonder everyone is so fucked up?

Whatever happened to your brilliant writing? It’s why to chose to return to Substack, but I’m

Unhappy that I did.

Joanne, I got a copy of my birth certificate just by writing and sending the fee. That is in northern California and they are efficient. I got the birth certificate when I got my Passport. I just saved it. It and my expired passport are on the front of my refrigerator.

Allison, I have a morning routine. My cat Terror usually wakes me. He wakes me because he wants to be fed. So I feed all 3 of my cats. Two are indoors. Sammie does not really like the kitty door and has about 4 inches of fur, which keeps her warm. She comes in through the front door. And when I go out to feed my wood furnace, she goes back out and then either comes in when I do, or stays out if she decides its warm. Yesterday at 23 degrees, she came in. Today, at 31 degrees she stayed out. Merry, the 11 month old kitten, was outside playing and keeping her company.

The wood I burn is leftover from the lumber industry. They cut trees and use the trunk to cut oak beams. There is a guy who haul to the sawmills all week and then hauls loads of limbs to people like me on weekends and holidays. Otherwise they just pile them and burn them. What a waste.

How his tariff thing got this far is just jaw-dropping. A high school kid with an Econ 101 class under their belt could see the glaring holes in this plan.

And JoJo is right, he thought this was a blunt tool protection racket. Drumpf thought these foreign countries were writing checks directly to the US Treasury for their sins and we were happily cashing them. That's not how tariffs work.

THEN he implements them illegally.

All while our economy suffers and he keeps spouting BS in public about all the cool things he's going to spend the money on.

I 've been autistic since I was conceived in 1947. I spent my entire adult life around alcohol because I am Allergic to demon rum and i was a good driver when i had two good eyes.

Trump has no empathy which fetal alcoholism destroys. Donald Trump knows the dictionary they used to write your fucking antihuman constitution. Look up these words in Dr Samuerl Joknson's dictionary the one Scalia used to PERVERT your constitution to prove original intent.
