The worst thing about the pause of tariffs against Mexico is it makes Trump look tough and acting in US interests.

Kurt Metzger was writing for him then (I'm pretty sure). That guy punches down on all kinds of people... ...it's a new thing, punching down being okay. I guess it's because of push-back or something... Oh really? Kurt is as vile as they come. He's Jimmy Dore's giggling idiot on his conspiracy laden...

I just finished a re-read of The Brothers Karamazov. The only big one I have left to read and sitting on my desk is Demons. One day!
