Mexico and Canada just dodged this tariff bullet, but they're still getting slammed with that goddamn 25% tax because of the fentanyl crisis! You can practically smell the burn of money evaporating at the border, while the USMCA goods slide through untouched like slick oil

The administration is ramming these tariffs down everyone's throats using the cold, metallic authority of the International Economic Emergency Powers Act. They're not even pretending this is a negotiation—they're screaming "NATIONAL EMERGENCY" with their fists pounding on the table, making your ears ring with their certainty. Officials are practically salivating over "hundreds of millions" in the next few years and "trillions" over a decade, the taste of greed bitter and sharp on their tongues.

Meanwhile, critics—even Republicans for f***'s sake—are sweating bullets, warning that we'll all feel the crushing weight of inflated prices squeezing our wallets until they bleed dry. You can touch the tension crackling in the air as other nations prepare to hit back with their own tariffs, the rough texture of an impending global trade war scraping against our skin like sandpaper. This whole mess reeks of burning bridges and scorched economic relationships!

Val Kilmer: Hollywood's Brilliant Maverick Dead at 65

Val Kilmer's career is defined by intense performances and unwavering artistic commitment. His breakout as Iceman in "Top Gun" (1986) established him as a commanding screen presence, while his portrayal of Madmartigan in "Willow" (1988) showcased his range.

Kilmer's critical peak came with his transformative performance as Jim Morrison in "The Doors" (1991) and his iconic portrayal of Doc Holliday in "Tombstone" (1993) – delivering the unforgettable line "I'm your huckleberry."

His underappreciated work includes the crime drama "Heat" (1995) alongside De Niro and Pacino, and the cult favorite "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" (2005). As Batman in "Batman Forever" (1995), Kilmer delivered a financially successful but artistically frustrating experience, leading him to abandon the franchise.

Despite his difficult reputation, Kilmer's legacy rests on his damn refusal to compromise his artistic vision, giving everything to each fucking role with an authenticity rarely seen in Hollywood.

Who The Fuck is William?

This news about Columbus City Schools is deeply concerning. Without warning, the district reverted students' preferred names in their Infinite Campus system back to birth certificate names on March 19, blindsiding both students and teachers during attendance.

This change particularly impacts transgender and nonbinary students, who often rely on preferred names as a crucial aspect of their identity and wellbeing at school. The lack of notification shows a troubling disregard for these students' dignity and emotional safety.

The sudden nature of this change - occurring mid-attendance without prior communication - created an unnecessarily jarring and potentially humiliating experience for affected students, forcing them into uncomfortable situations they had no opportunity to prepare for. (TheHill)

Tariffs, We Don’t Need No Stinking Tariffs

Trump's about to drop a bomb on global trade with his "Liberation Day" tariff announcement. He's calling it a path to "make America wealthy again," but plenty are calling bullshit on whether this will create wealth or a complete economic disaster.

The whole thing's a clusterfuck of questions. Which countries are getting screwed? Maybe his "Dirty 15" major trading partners, including China, EU, Mexico, and Canada. How bad will these tariffs hurt? Nobody knows the damn rates yet or if they'll stack on top of his existing tariffs. Auto companies are begging Trump not to fuck them over completely. He's already told the UK Prime Minister to piss off about exemptions. Meanwhile, India might catch a break simply because Trump has a hard-on for Modi.

What's the endgame in this mess? White House claims it's about bringing jobs back: "Want to avoid tariffs? Bring your ass to America." But they're also counting on that sweet tariff money to fund tax cuts – which is a total contradiction if companies actually relocate.The economic fallout? Goldman Sachs doesn't sugarcoat it: higher inflation, slower growth, more unemployment. After years of inflation hell, Americans are about to pay even more for everyday shit like food, energy, and car parts. (TheHill)

Trump TurdSwallow is in Full Stage Dementia

Trump is absolutely losing it, raging at his own party members for daring to question his tariff power grab. He's frantically attacking McConnell, Collins, Murkowski, and Paul on Truth Social, essentially demanding blind loyalty while wrapping his economic warfare in fake concern about fentanyl. The president is having a full-blown meltdown over Senator Kaine's resolution to stop his Canada tariffs. His message drips with desperation and manipulation, labeling anyone who disagrees as having "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and being "disloyal" - the cardinal sin in Trump's universe.

It's pathetically transparent how he's trying to bully these senators, even going as far as urging their constituents to harass them into submission. Meanwhile, he's hiding behind the excuse that the resolution won't pass the House anyway, revealing this is all just a loyalty test.

This "Liberation Day" tariff rollout isn't about fentanyl or manufacturing - it's about Trump consolidating power and demanding absolute fealty. Senate Majority Leader Thune is playing along, parroting Trump's flimsy drug trafficking excuse while ignoring the massive economic damage these tariffs will inflict. The entire spectacle exposes Trump's fragile ego and authoritarian tendencies - he can't handle even minimal resistance from his own party on his economically destructive policy whims. As Collins, Paul, and Tillis have warned, these tariffs threaten to hurt Americans far more than they'll ever help. (TheHill)

Susan Collins is a Two Faced Bitch

The stench of political survival hangs thick in the air as Susan Collins abandons transgender students, practically trembling as she clutches Trump's coattails. You can taste the desperation as she declares Maine's transgender athlete policy "contrary to the spirit of Title IX" – her words dripping with calculated self-preservation.

Feel the chill of Collins' cold calculation: a Republican in a blue state, she's touching the hot stove of culture war politics to avoid Trump's wrath. Listen closely and you'll hear the violent crash of principles being sacrificed on the altar of political expediency.

The sight is stomach-turning: Collins nods approvingly as Trump threatens to withhold federal funding from her own state's schools, the bitter flavor of hypocrisy evident as she claims to "advocate for Maine's fair share" while supporting the very investigations choking off that funding. (TheHill)
