But hey, I gotta write about *some*thing, right? And I actually felt guilty not writing about it yesterday, wanted to let the EU deal percolate before I did... With TACO Trump, nobody knows WTF is going to happen, from day to day. The markets included. But the next two weeks may be rather important, in the grand scheme of things. That's all I really wanted to point out... -CW John M from Ct. -

President JD Vance sounds terrible, but once Progressive Democratic candidates help the Party sweep both houses next year then we can finally learn if Couchfucking is an Impeachable offense. Gotta look at the long game here. “Pay NO attention to that 25th Amendment behind the curtain!” The knives are out for Donald and now I wonder if he lasts until October.

It’s like Trump is spinning out of control trying to change the focus away from the Epstein files. I wouldn’t put it past Trump to let all hell break loose on Friday just to change the subject.

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 00:37:48 +0000 http://www.chrisweigant.com/?p=26639#comment-220771 My mind reels on reading a post like this. How can you remember, look up, and/or summarize this complex nonsense? Anyone reading this, I think, would respond: so, we know nothing, right? Anything thought to be coming in the future can change at any time, as it has since January by your retelling, because there is absolutely no logic or program behind any of it. Just this president's uninformed economic and political id dictates what today's announcements and deals will be - subject to change tomorrow or any future day, until at least January 21, 2029. Gah. And gah again. Gah ad infinitum. Now I want to go back to reading about how the BBB bill's increase in ICE funding and hiring is going to lead to an American Gestapo and gulag for all the president's political opponents within a year or two. I can't keep saying gah, so I won't, but... My mind reels on reading a post like this. How can you remember, look up, and/or summarize this complex nonsense?
