Bracing for the Crash?

 The following is copied from an AlterNet article this morning:

"Critics of President Donald Trump, including liberal economists Paul Krugman and Robert Reich, are warning that between steep new tariffs, mass deportations and mass layoffs of federal government employees, the United States may be in for a painful economic downturn."

Deporting people who make up a significant percentage of the labor force in blue collar jobs, then laying off a huge number of civil service employees too. Fortunately for him, all those people being out of work won't interfere with The Blob's golf time.

Added 2:28 PM Thursday: There are probably many people who have never heard of her, but Laura Loomer has a reputation as one of the most ridiculous of the dangerous right-wing lunatics. Any time her name comes up in a report, it's because she's saying and doing things that are insane (usually spreading loony conspiracy theories). It shouldn't be very surprising that just as he's preparing separation from Felon Mush, Blobbo meets with Laura Loomer in the Oval Office for advice and to hear her recommendations. Two assholes who share mental illness and are also rotten human beings are made for each other.

MEI (Merit, Excellence, Intelligence) are supposedly The Blob's staff selection criteria in his TV sitcom admenstruation (sic). Most of his picks so far don't meet any of them.

Summer walks in Texas

Judging by the amount of water on driveways and sidewalks and in the street, some Texans seem to think you can grow concrete and asphalt using lawn sprinklers.
