Soโฆheโs back.
And in his wake, a dizzying number of Executive Orders (EOs) meant to overwhelm and terrorize the American public have been signed during an insane week one. After all, domestic terror has been all the rage since January 6, a day that Republicans have been itching to rewrite, ludicrously, since January 7. I believe the latest iteration is calling it a Day of Love, which is utter nonsense in light of the worldwide receipts.
Anyway, back to the other insanity, like Trump signing an EO for his Gulf of โAmericaโ nonsense and because nobody asked, changing the name of Mt. Denali back to Mt. McKinley.
As expected, Trump is already taking credit for previously scheduled deportation flights. However, he found out the hard way that Mexico is not to be played with (vamos Claudia!) when flights were not allowed to land in the country. Meanwhile, ICE raids are underway throughout the nationโs major bluest cities, and tribal lands, picking up citizens and noncitizens alike.
Oh, and TrumpCo 2.0 just ditched the Spanish version of the WH page because, of course, they were going to do that. They ditched it during Trumpโs first reign, too.
However, TikTok is back, because nobody fathomed the notion that American kids werenโt going to take a TikTok ban lying down. Especially when they know that theyโre more adept at the digital side of life. So, naturally, what happened was, a bunch of kids downloaded and started using Duolingo to learn enough Simplified Chinese to be able to engage with another Chinese app called Red Note.
In other news, youโre probably not all that surprised that the war between Russia and Ukraine persists despite his Day One promise and subsequent whiny tweet to Putin about how he was gonna tariff him hard if he doesnโt stop fighting (Note: Putin has been under severe tariffs since the war began. Thereโs nothing more Trump can threaten him with, economically.)
Back in DC, thereโs the quest to eradicate birthright citizenship from the Constitution, which provided a glimmer of hope amongst all the crazy. Turns out that MAGA lawyers ended up before a Reagan-appointed federal judge who wasnโt all that eager about overturning Constitutional law before basically throwing the lawyers out after criticizing their โblatantly unconstitutionalโ argument.
And because itโs Saturday and we canโt even take the weekend off, here comes news about Trump threatening Denmark with tariffs (what else?) unless they give up Greenland, which theyโve told him theyโre not going to do.
I hadnโt even gotten around to Saudi Arabia buying a presidential visit with a $600 billion bribe investment, nor the shutting down of health agency warnings, nor Marco Rubio getting a warning about acting a fool at State.
Time to protect my peace. So now, Iโm just going to sit here, let Chris Rock entertain me, and mind my Black business while eating a blueberry muffin.
92%er out!!
Just a heads up. The following clip is definitely Rated R and NSFW. Enjoy!
