He's insisting that tariffs will go into effect overnight and the projections of the market show a loss this quarter, and my latest mutual fund purchase is underwater from the original price. I guess we are approaching be the "buy low" period in my investing routine.
This is sparkly stuff still - the funding from USAID still hasn't been released, despite a court order to do so. He has the security agencies that watch Russia turn off the gaze that protects from cyber crap. He has illegally impounded all of the aid that is supposed to be sent to Ukraine from the 2024 budget.
Swalwell’s comments came in a webinar chaired by the journalist Sidney Blumenthal in response to a question on whether Republicans might be driven to rebel against or even impeach Trump.
“I have a lot of friends who are Republicans,” he said. “They are terrified of being the tallest poppy in the field, and it’s not as simple as being afraid of being primaried and losing their job. They know that that can happen.
“It’s more more personal. It’s their personal safety that they’re afraid of, and they have spouses and family members saying, ‘Do not do this, it’s not worth it, it will change our lives forever. We will have to hire around-the-clock security.’ Life can be very uncomfortable for your children.
“That is real, because when [Elon] Musk [Trump’s most powerful ally] tweets at somebody, or Trump tweets at somebody, or calls somebody out, their lives are turned upside down.
“When he tweets at you, people make threats, and you have to take people at their word. And so that is a real thing that my colleagues struggle with.
Trump and his family and friends regularly threaten and dox people they don't like, turning their rabble loose to threaten them.
