Sen. John Kennedy (R) of Louisiana (of all people) said the quiet part out loud when he implied Trump is lying through his store-bought teeth. He openly admitted the Trump Administration is adrift, victim of the currents of uncertainty and fear it itself initiated, and all the world economies put in jeopardy by the arrogance of one fool.

Some say it is just a rash gamble, but it is so much more.

This jackass with a golf ball where his brain should be, has turned our allies against us -- they can never trust us again as long as we give dictatorial power to a green card holder and blithering incompetent! Our industries are staggering under uncertainty, our 401(k)s are bleeding our retirement dreams, and rampant unemployment will soon lead to a blinding recession if congress doesn't act.

But the Republican congress as uncaring as Kennedy about the deaths of children in Texas from measles, and while are economy is shuddering in disbelief, they are passing a bill to give 4 1/2 trillion-dollar tax cuts to the already filthy rich -- money that will go into stock portfolios and never see the light of day.

'We're All Dead': GOP Senator Reacts to Trump Tariffs.

Story by Marco Margaritoff • 3h •

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) wasn’t concerned enough about President Donald Trump’s steep international tariffs to vote against them Wednesday — like some of his GOP colleagues — but did scold staunch supporters of the policy with a dire warning to multiple outlets.

“In the long run, we’re all dead,” he told CNN’s Manu Raju on Capitol Hill for “The Lead with Jake Tapper” on Wednesday. “Short run matters, too. Nobody knows what the impact of these tariffs is going to be on the economy.”

Trump dubbed April 2 “Liberation Day” and announced a sweeping 10% baseline tariff on all imports to the U.S., with levies on dozens of countries set even higher. He repeated his false claim Wednesday that foreign nations, rather than Americans, will shoulder the costs. Only four Republican senators Wednesday — Rand Paul (Ky.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and Susan Collins (Maine) — joined Democrats in voting against the emergency powers Trump is using to impose a 25% tariff against Canada.

Kennedy did not, but reiterated his concerns in a Newsmax interview later that day.

“What the president is saying is, if you want to sell stuff to Americans, move your business to America and hire Americans and contribute to our economy, don’t just sell stuff,” he told anchor Rob Schmitt. “In the long run, he’s right. But in the long run, we’re all dead.”

The Louisiana senator added that he’s heard both favorable and disastrous assessments on the tariffs from economists in Washington, D.C. but said even “late-night psychic hotlines” are more accurate in their predictions — and slammed blind supporters of the policy.

“It may not [lead to inflation] this time,” Kennedy added. “Am I predicting that it will or won’t? No. I’m going to say it again. We’re in uncharted waters and we don’t know. And anybody who tries to tell you that they know what the short-term impact is going to be is just lying.”

“Either that or they’re selling deep stupid,” he concluded.

Trump’s tariffs are a ‘negotiating tool’ and won’t be in effect ‘long term’: Republican lawmaker said.

Hi,

Long time republican here. I’m looking to protest the Russian agent currently holding the Presidency. Does anyone know where to find a list of local protests in New York state?

Yeah… Pretty sure we tried to tell them 🤷‍♀️

There is nothing to stop him, and he does not give a single solitary 🤬 about who gets hurt…

RFK Jr.'s measles 'cure' sickens Texas kids amid outbreaks

It is a common misconception that because vitamins are generally good for you, large doses can't harm you. The thing is there are two forms of vitamins, fat soluble and water-soluble. The water-soluble vitamins are usually flushed from the body anywhere from 24 to 72 hours after ingestion. However, any excessive fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the liver until needed. If you ingest more than your body requires the vitamins will accumulate in greater and greater numbers until bodily functions become compromised and toxic reactions can be too numerous to record here.

Vitamin A is one of those fat-soluble vitamins and overdoses can be lethal!

Bobby Kennedy is beyond doubt the most inept of all Trumps incompetent appointees. He has no medical knowledge -- none, zilch -- yet with the arrogance of a zealot and the ignorance of a dullard -- he relies on anecdotes and old wife's tales while giving no consideration to the harm he will inflict.

Trump in now in the doldrums of his own inabilities and unwarranted confidence. He is watching as the economy he vowed to protect slips into recession as 401k's crater and the stock market trembles in fear of what Monday morning might bring.

Perhaps we all should have read the Trump/Musk Manifesto, Project 2025; it was all foretold there.

Covenant Children's Hospital says it has treated several children suffering from hypervitaminosis A — or vitamin A toxicity

This article may be potentially distressing to parents with children.

West Texas has been gripped by a measles outbreak for the past several weeks and as a result of misinformation passed on by Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., it now faces a second, related health problem: Vitamin A toxicity — or hypervitaminosis A — in infants and children. The situation appears to be the direct result of bogus medical information pedaled by the vaccine-skeptic secretary himself. Kennedy recently said that although the measles vaccine is the best defense against the highly contagious and potentially fatal infection, he emphasized that getting inoculated was a "personal choice."

Kennedy, whom President Donald Trump appointed to be the nation's top health advisor, suggested, "vitamin A can dramatically reduce measles mortality," or even prevent measles infections.

Kennedy recently directed the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to update measles guidance to promote vitamin A use in fighting the infection. In early March, the CDC's top communications officer, Thomas Corry, cited Kennedy's slow response to the West Texas outbreak and his embrace of so-called "alternative measles treatment," as the reason for his resignation. Numerous other CDC and HHS officials have resigned since Kennedy took over, more health workers still —so far at least 10,000 — have also fallen prey to Elon Musk's cost-cutting measures.

In all, HHS has lost a quarter of its workforce.

Though Kennedy and the CDC suggest vitamin A should only be taken under doctor's supervision, West Texas parents are apparently giving their children so much of it that they are now being admitted to hospital emergency rooms. Among other remedies, Kennedy has claimed that cod liver oil, which is rich in vitamins A and D, "works" as a treatment against measles.

Although vitamin A may be given to measles patients who suffer malnutrition-related vitamin A deficiencies, there is no evidence suggesting that it is effective in preventing measles.

And even though it is known that excessive cod liver oil consumption can have serious negative health consequences, demand for it has exploded in West Texas, with pharmacies saying, "it's flying off the shelf."

Covenant Children's Hospital in Lubbock, Texas, has said it has treated "fewer than 10 cases" of vitamin A toxicity over the past couple of weeks. Administrators say the children were initially admitted with measles symptoms but later determined to have had abnormally functioning livers as a result of vitamin A toxicity.

Doctors at Covenant are publicly warning against excessive vitamin A intake, saying that it could lead to severe side effects such as dry skin, impaired sight, bone problems and liver failure.

The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) on Friday said that it had recorded 481 cases of measles since January. The number of nationwide measles cases stood at 607 as of April 4, according to the CDC. Measles — a highly contagious respiratory infection that spreads when an infected individual sneezes, coughs or speaks, as well as when people touch their eyes, nose or mouth after contact with a contaminated surface — was declared eliminated in the US in 2000 thanks to decades of sustained mass-vaccination campaigns.

According to the CDC, the only effectively proven method of preventing measles is the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine, which boasts 97% efficacy.

In February, the Texas DSHS confirmed the death of a "school-age child who was not vaccinated" and who had "tested positive for measles" when she was hospitalized.

It was the first confirmed measles death in the US since 2015.

Obviously he’s not handsome like Obama, but he’s even uglier than Cleveland, for instance. Maybe just as obese as Grover, but definitely more ugly.

Whether we like it or not, a lot of public opinion seems to exist in comment sections around the web--or at least appear like it with the amount of bots out there. Our side doesn't have those bots, so we have to combat with fact-checking twice as hard. We have to start having the true majority reflect online by responding to their wild comments. I know it's not fun, but it's necessary. So while the people who can be out physically protesting today (THANK YOU) are doing that work, those of us who can be online should try to do some of that work. Think about where replies could be seen the most and especially by less-informed, independent people: IMPORTANT ONE: your local & state politicians on BOTH SIDES' social media comments but especially local you'd be surprised how impactful that can be with so few correcting their BS, news articles, even "entertainment" news articles, AppleNews and MSN or any other default pages computers tend to have, join the NewsBreak app or any other news-commenting apps you can think of, and any other ideas you may have. Aim to comment somewhere outside of your echochamber to be able to break them. Youtube comments especially on their propaganda attempts (look at the trending pages) are a big one.

Can we at the very least start a precedent of fact-checking or standing up against them online? They have more retired or simply non-working folks so they can live online commenting like crazy. The only way we could show the true majority and combat the misinformation and talking points is by doing our part whenever we do come across it. It just takes a few minutes and once other people who actually are informed see your example, they tend to join in.

Also, why don't we do profile picture campaigns or campaigns like the Blackout in 2020 anymore to show the actual support online where most everyone is for sure???

“The patient lived and is healing,” declared Trump as he headed off to go golfing, after tanking the U.S. stock market and setting the world economy on fire.  Trump lives in an alternate reality universe where imposing massive taxes on American companies and forcing customers to pay higher prices is considered “liberation day.”  Up is down.  Black is white.  Green is blue. 

Trump’s extreme paranoia which led him to declare an economic emergency also led him to invoke a war powers act to deport people to a foreign prison without due process, some of which were innocent. 

He continues to muse about making Canada the 51st state, taking the Panama Canal away from Panama, and getting Greenland “one way or another.”  These are the ravings of a lunatic, the ravings of a madman, that if carried to fruition would put Trump in the same category as Hitler and the other worst despots of history. 

Americans cannot sit idly by and watch Trump continue to issue unconstitutional executive orders, wreck the economy, threaten our allies, and destroy all our international alliances.  We must relentlessly pressure our members of Congress to do the right thing—either impeach and remove Trump for the crimes he has committed, or remove him on 25th Amendment grounds. 

Allowing this madness to continue is not an option.   

After President Donald Trump’s "Liberation Day" sweeping tariffs announcement, for a second day financial markets were in free fall. Today, the Dow Jones dropped just over 2,200 points making it the worst day for the markets since the start of the pandemic.
