Kayla your observation about two powerful people in a room is very wise.

I am not surprised it happened.. The timing seems about right to me. But....it still feels like a bad reality show to me.

In a certain way, if you have nothing to do, you can entertain yourself with this disgusting political (?) games. But life is not a game and some people arenot having fun with it. I am playing my part, deciding not to buy anything made in the US while the tariffs are part of this monopoly game. Still, just like you, I am not having much of a problem with the grocery prices. I can absorb them.But some people are having trouble

Exactly. It is a disgrace for working people in the US, and even around the world.

just like you it is label reading time so that I avoid US products. We haven't been really effected by the tariffs cause we don't buy much from Trumpland

First off, Meidas Touch is a great newscaster. I like them a lot. Unhenged is where it's at in Trumpdom nowadays. I doubt even the sleeziest reality show producer would take these two on. I worry that my life may change, but I haven't seen it yet. Thank the Gods. I will be so glad when the guys in the white coats come and take Trump away. What really grieves me is that they won't do anything about him because of his position of power. They go around with their rose colored glasses and tip-toe around like he could have them drawn and quartered if they actually did what was right. The sad thing is that this sh*t show is real. It's happening.

Yes, I think a TV show could be made about the shenanigans. My life has not changed. I got most of the household projects done before prices could go up again.

America used to stand for something, its leader were supposed to be of the highest quality, and the Constitution was sacrosanct. Now, it's a crap show, not even funny, more nauseating.

I think more of soap operas, but it is the same idea. Lots of twists and turns and drama and scandal. Yes, at this time we can absorb the increases, but I wonder about our overall survival as a nation.

Is it that bad? Whatever happened to the country of democracy and freedom? I've looked up to America because I believe in what it stands for. Hopefully, the leaders of your country will sort things out sans their super-inflated egos.

I have never liked reality TV shows. I also have not paid for live TV in about thirty years. This entire era of American politics is beyond a black eye to our beloved country. Are Americans that bored that this is happening?

per@TheHorse A dear friend of mine is a Trumper. We share our feelings so I told her that I was quite disturbed and sad due to the news lately. She said what news? She doesn't follow news any longer. I told her that food banks and such were being shut down and kids were going to go hungry. She answered that the states would just have to take care of the issue. She doesn't want to understand symbiotic action though she is not uneducated- the states used to get funds from the Fed. The states can't do it all by themselves plus the farmers were paid by the Feds to help out. And on we go.
