Tariffs On Penguins

What a senseless dunce-o-autocrat running this spectacle. Daily Show, hilarious and days later I’m still getting a laugh this morning. Those penguins will punch back. What can the penguins do. Sell cuteness. But with a reciprocal percentage tariff.

Oh and the uninhabited islands’ tariffs. Can we spell stupid. Si se puede.

Selling out our European allies. Escalation of “trade wars”. A lot of crazy.

Serious consequences, for workers and white collar people who already have lost so much in sheer weeks. Catastrophic for many. And the seasoned, committed federal workers across agencies, people who know integrity and help (even if there’s a wait time…there’s a wait time at Target too, that’s just not the worst that people cope with in 2025.)

While cart critter uses our taxes to fly to Florida every weekend for senior golf. History will not be kind.

I wish the media would have discussed the substance, not how long Cory Booker stood (it was a long time) or bathroom breaks. That’s not the point at all. It was a serious speech about serious things. Someone deserving much respect, and showing intelligence and humility. (Can do both.) Journalists, get your copy together. Congressional Record, there you go. His speech is right there. I’ve got an open tab in my remote office. It’s right there. Easy peasy.

I’m not yet ready to join a Hands Off protest…every state…still very careful of my knee, though me getting braver and better, more strength. So very proud of the crowds who came, all over the country. Really raised my confidence in the good people. If I felt completely safe, I would have been in Chicago this past weekend. My spirit was there and I will see another protest in person. Meanwhile, online everywhere, every state, with my fellow citizens of conscience.
