This bullshit drives me up a wall. It was only a little less than three years ago...

that 65 million Americans voted for a woman.

Actually voted. Didn't just say they would on a poll.

And that was Hillary, with a ton of baggage they tried to crucify her with. And no one knew just how bad Trump would be.

Get Warren or Harris up there compared to Trump in a real election and you bet your damn ass Americans will vote for a woman.

(OK, Klobuchar, too, but she does look like a lost cause at this point. Maybe Veep?)

I've been wondering how Trump can impose tariffs all by his little ol' self, since...

the Constitution says right there, in black and white, that only Congress can do that.

Well, I found the answer. And just as I suspected Congress fucked up and gave the power away.

Most articles about this are from last year, when he first started this crap, and here's one of the better ones:

Here's a conservative take on the whole mess:

Don't snort because it's National Review-- this article makes sense. If you really can't help gagging at NR, just think of the stopped clock,
