In a dream world, the resistance to Trump in Congress spreads and he can be removed from office. Ha, sure. But now the remaining Koch brother and his myriad corporations are suing, too, saying the president does not have the authority to tariff, congress does. Of course, Trump declared national emergency, which does not exist, to take the authority.
And sorry for the loss of your friends, too. I've been enduring the same thing. I'd known Carlton a long time, as well, and he helped me on many reporting trips to Washington through the years and pointed me in the right direction on a few things when I was writing "Bush's Brain." What he did for Martindale is pretty amazing, too.
Also, regarding Trump, I am reminded of the Mark Twain quote: "I've never wished any man's death, but I've read a number of obituaries with great pleasure."
I also think trump and his billionaire bastards are working the rises and falls of the market to squeeze even more out of other's losses. All this while his congressional toadies look the other way because it's for the good of the country that we're gonna have after this evisceration is done. I'm running out of wondering what's next.
Sorry for your losses, Deece. A tough week.❤️
Thank you, Susan!

Thanks, Jim. At a certain age, we check the obituaries every day to make sure we're not in there.

1) Stock market crashes, wiping out 401Ks and smaller investors.
2) Billionaire class, which has easier access to capital, buys up equities at rock bottom prices.
To paraphrase Marshal Benavides, "For my enemies, bankruptcy. For my friends, windfall profits."
