Kagro in the Morning - April 9, 2025

A thunder of jets in an open sky... A streak of gray and a cheerful "Hi"! A loop, a whirl, a vertical climb, and once again you know it's time for the adventures of David J. Waldman, his pal Greg Dworkin, KITM and friends!

We are at the dawn of the Trump Tariff era, and the sunset of every other era anyone would want to live in. Sure, the Trump tax will cost America trillions of dollars in the most regressive and destructive way imaginable. But many fictional economists do advocate for the measure, ready to put their fictional necks on the line if things go wrong. MAGA welcomes the new people’s revolution. After all, nothing will build character in today’s youth more effectively than a lifetime working on collective farms.

(Elon Musk says, “Uh, wait a minute.” Donald K. Trump says, “How about 90 days Mr. Musk?”) 

Musk doesn’t need the US when he has the rest of the world’s teat to suck. Does Trump really need tariffs when just threatening them gives him all of the “Please Sir” stories he ever needs?  Trump can make up all of the “Please Sir” stories he’ll ever need. Follow Aaron Rupar on Blue Sky… Blue Sky… Blue Sky!

Who needs to threaten tariffs when you can threaten to bomb Mexico and Panama? Why intimidate citizens when you can make them disappear? 

We can still have elections, and there’s a bunch of them this month. Not all judges are Texan, not even Trump appointed judges. Meanwhile, Dems are working harder and Gops are hardly working.
