Take on the Trump Dump
April has made our entire country look like fools. Trump's decision to start a trade war with the rest of the world will cause an inevitable recession which economists will study for years wondering why we would walk directly into the abyss. People have asked me today why Trump would do this. Why would he think this makes us stronger or healthier or richer. This is one of those decisions that will haunt us for years and all those millions of Trumpers can take a bow for blowing up the world

Take on Booker T
Never have I felt more pride in my state than when senator Booker did what nobody has been able to do. His marathon filibuster put him squarely in place to be the counterweight to GOP aggression. We don't know how this works out but for Booker to come out this way, to prove that Democrats actually have a voice and a message, means we finally have hope. It's time to take the country back, not specifically back to a Democratic one but to one where decorum and rules and traditions hold more sway than whatever the hell Trump is doing.

Take on liberation day
We know one thing for sure, Wednesday is going to an epic shit show. Trump will announce tariffs on basically everything and everybody meaning we will all pay more for every last bit of material we use in anything. There is likely not an industry immune to this, as components from a diverse supply chain will be tariffed leading to higher prices for the goodies which will then make them more who's I s when compare to goods made in other countries. So this genius plan will likely only make US less competitive on the world stage. Economic genius, I tell you

Take on the third terms thing
Trump announced today that he's been trying to find ways to allow for a third term and predictably everybody's going nuts. This is a fabricated controversy which he has created to distract us from whatever other slight of hand he's got in store as it will suck up all the oxygen now that his Greenland, Canada and Panama Canal ambitions have gotten stale. Don't allow this to become our next story, watch instead how he's continuing his power grab through the willingness of the GOP to allow his to run roughshod over democracy

Take on the new crappy economy
We were told regular Americans mostly cared about runaway inflation but when it came down to it, they all just wanted to be able to embrace their racist selves. We know that none of this mattered, it was all a big scale scam preying on ignorance. We can't get much dumber as a country if we tried.

Take on the road map.
When the White House puts out a tweet suggesting they will find and kill illegals immigrants, you start to wonder what they won't do. We know that they are not following a standard playbook but this is just nuts. We are starting to use every possible corrupt abuse of power to run this like a true oligarchy.

Take on the frozen job market
A week from tomorrow the government will release the jobs report and as I've been predicting, it's going to be less than stellar. Not only does it feel like the economy has started to really slow down but when DOGE decides to do headcount cuts, those are going to be felt in the data. Maybe not every DOGE cut is bad but in the aggregate they are going to kill the job report which may very well be the first noticeable crack in the seemingly impenetrable Trump mystique even if somehow it will be spun as a positive.

Take on the worst cabinet
The entire cabinet are a bunch of incompetent stooges. We have seen them try to explain what was happening or why the reporter was a left leaning commie but when you see that these people treat classified information with such callous, you wonder why we need to settle for this. Time for Tulsi and Vance and Crazy Pete to reign.

Take on the NYC mayoral race
New York city will elect a new governor soon and it looks like the chances of winning go in an order something like Andrew Cuomo, Curtis Sliwa and Eric Adams. This is a despicably bad offering and we have to be embarrassed that this is the best we got. I can't say I know anything about Zohran the Mandalorian but he's got to be better than that three headed monster.

Take on the Meatheads text chain
Our national security team is run by a bunch of meatheads. We get that they didn't mean to add a reporter to their text thread but the fact they are communicating that way in the first place seems ludicrous. What i am sure about is that the "But Her Emails" crowd will be super quiet this time around which just shows them for the cowards they are. I know the James Carville theory of just waiting to let these idiots implode seems like a pretty good bet but not sure our country will be recognizable if we go that route.

Take on The Trump portrait
Trump is all pissed off about some portrait hanging in the state capitol in Colorado I can't imagine him having time to complain about something like this but when you are as vain as he is, it does make sense. I'm not sure what the best course of action would be but to think that this guy has spent significant time both complaining about this and negotiating a settlement between Ukraine and Russia is insane

Take on the south
When you get to the south they tell you that you should not use your cell phone within 25 feet of a gas station which sounds totally ludicrous. I'm all for curbing cell phone usage but this seems as arbitrary as having to turn your phone off on a plane. We need sensible laws and rules not Big Government breathing cos our backs

Take on George Foreman
George Foreman dying had me messed up on two levels. First of all, he was obviously an incredible boxes who I only saw the tail end of his career when he was fat. But even then, he seemed like he was sort of unstoppable. Not because he was fast or nimble but because when he did, he hit you like a freight train. But of course my biggest memory of him is the grill which turned this dude into John Madden II.

Take on the DOE
Trump signing another executive order, this one is to dismantle the department of education. In a country where we constantly feel like we are falling behind in education, this seems like a terrible move if only for the optics. Japan and China aren't cutting education, Europe isn't either. But here we are, the country that has already told the woke we are science skeptics, taking the next step and basically just saying screw it, we are what we are.

Take on the end of the metro cards
When MTA announced it had gotten rid of metro cards, it was clear to me that I didn't realize they still existed. I'm not purist but the metro card was never as cool as the token, I doubt there will be a nostalgia behind them and honestly doubt they will be missed. Although that reminds me that I think I still have like $6 on my card which is good for like a half a ride by now.

Take on the fall from grace
Nobody has fallen from grace faster than Elon Musk. It's not just that he's somehow flipped the script on himself going from a liberal darling to a full on Nazi, it's that he's done it with no regard to his own reputation. I guess when you have a couple of bucks in your pocket, you can feel that confidence. Sadly though this dude will never be happy, he can never find the right amount of money to buy any kind of joy.

Take on the World's most Famous vomitoriun
It must be nice to be Tracy Morgan. You just show up to a Knick game, pay a child's admission, act all crazy and then puke up your dinner. I can't imagine living g his life but there is no way some average Joe barfs on the court and they just clean it up and go on their way. Jim Dolan would have them expelled for life and probably would shove them down a flight of stairs for good measure.

Take on the commander in cheat
Trump won his own lame golf tournament today, with videos of him picking up puts and shanking balls into the woods. We don't honestly care and I'm totally fine with him blowing off some steam but the entire thing is so embarrassingly awful to think he wants to brag about this

Take on the not normal.
I'm not sure I can do another 3 years and 10 months of this. Trump has spent the first part of his second term, destroying the entire institution. I get that this was the Steve Bannon playbook and I also know that they have this thing mapped out to a t. What in shocked at is the impotence of both the democrats and the main steam republicans This isn't normal and these people will have to live with this for their political careers.

Take on the Starbucks settlement
Some dude in an F-150 is going to get $50,000,000 for spilling a Pike Place Roast on his groin and here I am slaving away daily with a 3 hour round rip commute I don't care what the damages are, getting $50M for an unsecured top is asinine. Please god, I hope this guy buys a gigantic cup after he collects his winnings and the barista makes sure his kid is once again not totally down.
