These guys slapped ginormous tariffs on China and now complain China is straining relations.
They also blamed Ukraine for starting the war with Russia.
The chutzpah.

Designated terror organizations can be legally attacked using the US military. They'll do the designating, and then they'll do the attacking.
That's why they are doing this.
That's why they are fascists.

Impeach the bastard.
... Several of the messages, which were detailed in charging documents shared with CNBC later Tuesday, contained romantic sentiments.
The roommate told police that, on the day of the shooting, Robinson texted, “Drop what you’re doing. Look under my keyboard,” the documents alleged.
The roommate looked and found a note stating, “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.”
After reading the note, the roommate texted Robinson, “What?????????????? You’re joking, right????”
Robinson replied that, “To be honest I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you.”
The roommate asked, “you weren’t the one who did it right????”
Robinson wrote back, “I am, I’m sorry.”
When the roommate asked why Robinson did it, he replied, “I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.”
Robinson also texted that he had been planning the shooting for “a bit over a week,” according to the charging documents.
And he discussed dropping a firearm at the university after fleeing, texting the roommate, “If I am able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence.”
He added: “I’m wishing I had circled back and grabbed it as soon as I got to my vehicle, I’m worried what my old man would do if I didn’t bring back grandpa’s rifle.” ...
Kirk hated Trump but saw an opportunity, claims ex-employee...
Well no shit.
The GOP today is riddled with sycophants who formerly opposed Trump but support him now. Those of us who supported Trump in 2015-2016 took great pleasure in pointing it out as they came crawling back.
Many who changed their minds about supporting Trump defend themselves today by saying they changed their minds because they were persuaded by reflection on the Trumpist agenda, but none of that is becoming the law of the land today through the GOP Congress. It's all by executive order and lawfare. None of this will last, except for the ka-ching ka-ching.
In Charlie Kirk's case, flipping to Trump has been bery bery good for Turning Point USA, which went from a lousy little $2 million operation in 2015 to an $80 million one by 2022.
I mean, how many dollars will it take before we actually get some of that fiscal responsibility, free markets, and limited government which it is supposed to promote, seeing that we're headed for a $2 TRILLION deficit by September 30th?
Considering how awful Trump is now on just about everything compared with his first term, it must be that they all flipflopped only for the money, the power, and the influence.
Socialism going mainstream? New poll suggests might be...
... This survey marks the first formal poll the DSA Fund has released — the latest example of the left seeking to professionalize its operations and create infrastructure to build on its recent electoral victories. The organization said it plans to share its findings with hundreds of socialists elected around the country. ...
In the poll, democratic socialists were defined as believing “that the government should take a more active role to improve Americans’ lives. They generally support higher taxes on corporations and high-income earners, support regulations that protect workers and consumers, and want more public ownership of key industries like housing, health care and utilities.” ...
74 percent of likely Democratic voters said democratic socialism comes closest to their viewpoint, while 16 percent said the same of capitalism. A plurality of independent voters and a majority of Republicans said they preferred capitalism.
The survey of 1,257 likely voters nationwide, conducted from Aug. 22 to 24 using web panel respondents, had a 3-point margin of error.
The run of the mill narco smugglers from Venezuela suddenly are terrorists under Trump, so they blow them up.
Suddenly the left wing Charlie Kirk critics are being transformed into terrorists, too, so they say they will also destroy them.
Who's next? Where will it end?
J. D. Vance once wanted to stop this underlying basis for neo-con adventurism. Now the chameleon is part of its expansion to include unconstitutional domestic repression.
These people must be stopped.
And I can't find any record of The Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan wringing her hands in a column over the dire implications of this assassination for the country like she did for Charlie Kirk's. In June and July Peggy was all about thinking, not emoting. In September she's losing her shit.
A nut killing some Democrats is no reason to lose your head, I guess, but killing a Republican, now that's different.
... A last note. If I were a fervent Trump supporter, I would worry about that movement’s hyperemotionalism. We have written in this space that with the rise of social media, Americans are becoming a people of feeling and not of thinking, a people in search of sensation and not reflection. It isn’t promising that this is increasingly true in our political sphere. I follow on social media fixtures of the MAGA movement. They say of each other in public what in politics 40 years ago people said in private and when drunk. FRAUD, LIAR, GRIFTER, WHORE. What a hothouse. Do they expect that with a nature like that they can go into the future as a serious force and a movement that coheres? They don’t seem to worry about it. Why not? ...
Here.
And here she was the week before lol:
Isolationism is essentially emotional. You’re angry at the cost in blood and treasure of your country’s international forays and adventures and want to withdraw from the world. Emotionalism can hold sway and dominate politics for a time, even an era, but you can’t build anything on it. It doesn’t last because emotions change because facts change. ...
It would be an example of extremism if a voter advocated for the death penalty for Joe Biden for his immigration policy crimes, as Charlie Kirk did in July 2023.
What Joe Biden did with immigration policy, which is basically let them all in, which by the way he promised in his campaign for president in 2020 in nationally televised debates, is indeed criminal to many of us on the right. But we know that presidents get away with murder. We ought to change that, too, but presidents are in fact immune.
Is that national emergency #53? I'm losing count.
