Re the tariffs on Chinese goods: “It is a tax on families that are having a baby,”....

Ummm....no. Nothing against expectant parents, but it's a tax on everyone. Those having babies needn't feel personally targeted---we're all in the same boat.

That's a lot of bird feeders! Since my move I'm trying to figure out where to put mine. Then again, I'm trying to figure out where all the dishes are, and the towels, and everything else in the dozens of boxes around me. It's almost as depressing as the POS's stupidity and the R's cupidity.

I don't think that the military will shoot their own citizens. it can happen, but having been around the military my whole life, and now speaking to current folks, the view that he is crazy is prevalent. The going after civilians if they aren't rioting won't happen. IMHO

Is Eli doing guard duty to protect those squirrel-proof bird feeders? Charlie's commentary is insightful and chilling as always. At least we're not the crazy ones.

Most likely some little girl that might have one doll will have none. Makes me want to scream.

Perhaps someone should explain to Herr Groppen Führer that there's a difference between "Golden" and "Gilded"...

...but it's OK though because he's victimizing the most vulnerable people in our country, so there's that.

Don’t underestimate the Russia influence as the ultimate consultants ( hell raisers) . They had four long years to condition and to brainwash trump. They probably gave him the idea of tariffs long ago knowing it would tank the economy. Trump doesn’t even Suspect he’s been played, just knows he’s right. Typical. very Useful idiot. And the Russians win again even though they are loosing their country and their economics in their war they sure have won the street agent game.

The Russians have had 10 long years to condition and brainwash Cheetoh Benito's followers as well.

Yes he doesn’t even know why tariffs are good but Russians know that it’s going to kick the hive with business partners and allies. They’re right of course. It’s madness. But trump like the mad man he is is sticking to it.

There is bitter consolation to be had in the titans of commerce realization that there was a downside to grabbing that monkey paw.

Hot off the press...no more play by play. Dr Bandy X Lee forensic psychiatrist forevastedvthis "desth spiral!" Ssdly. Mrntal Hesth have been a big gape in tjis mefia conversation. I was so pleased when Ben of MTN asked Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries about DJT cognition. I watched that interview and was cheering for you !! He gets it. The main steam media has been 'sane washing' DJT and his 'regime. ' No one is talking about the Mental pathology we are witnessing. 2.0 is a psychopath unleashing cruelty on the world In large part we have the APA to blame for that. Please, for those not familiar check out BandyLee.com. She is the answer tonthis madness!!! She is a violence prevention specialist a MD of Forensic Psychiatrist. Webneed doctors and MH expert along with many of her colleagues who have been warning about DJT unfitness, mental incapacity and dangerousness since 2016/2017. The American Psychiatric Assoc. Wrote an OP ED that was published in the NY Times in 2017 right around the time that the book she edited entitled, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists Assess a President was a no. 1 Best Seller. Main stream media was interviewing Dr. Lee and her colleagues around the clock as all were eager for the knowledge. So after the OP ED was published essentially it's been likened to a gage order and despite Dr. Lee's efforts and those of her colleagues they have been silenced.

We are experiencing a public health crisis right now due to APA silencing of mental health experts. The Dangerous Case book can be downloaded for free via Libby or Hoopla your local library app. Also her book entitled titled, Trump Contagion: An Existnetial Threat to Democracy and Humankind explains in detail the mental pathology we are witnessing. Reading her work has helped me tremendously not to be so angry at the regime's followers. They are in a cult trance, she explains it from a psychological perspective. Please i encourage everyone to check out her substack and begin reading her work. Yes our mobilization, voices etc are VITAL in this moment but without an interdisciplinary approach to this crisis, lead by mental health experts , I fear what's to come. Dr. Lee refers to it as a 'death spiral'. Everything she has written and predicted has come to fruition. Her rationale for this is because "pathology is rigid and predictable" so that is how with her training and expertise she has been able to predict the J6 insurrection etc. On a separate comment post I will share the link to her substack. Also, Simon Rosenberg from the Hopium Chronicles interviewed AG Keith Ellison on 4/25.

In that interview the AG asked for help from mental health experts!!! He gets it! I will also share his contact info in my next post. I've called his office and sent two emails encouraging him to reach out to Dr. Lee and her colleagues. He was also a former US House Representative for Minnesota's 5th Comgressional district from 2007 - 2019. Dr. Lee and her colleagues can educate medically so our Congressional Leaders can intervene politically. Ben, please consider inviting AG Keith Ellison on your show and discussing the need for mental health intervention. You opened the door with your inquiry to Hakeem Jeffries...don't let that door be slammed shut. I hope you can 'feel' my urgency and pleading. There are about 60 of us from Dr. Lee's substack that meet weekly to discuss strategy about how to keep encouraging mental health experts as a resource

We all are members of MTN and believe your Network has the influence and attention, respect etc to further advance this narrative. Thank you all for the consideration and reading my comments. Reading Dr. Lee's work has been transformative for me. The mental health experts truly have the expertise and interventions to put an end to the pathology we are witnessing daily.
