Now Trump is backtracking on his dismantling of Department of Education, his press secy even claiming the news as fake.

The real problem is that this will require 60 votes in the Senate which is impossible and bullying can only go so far. Scuttling this department also would have ended the school lunch programs which is what it seems gave them second thoughts.

Wonder if anyone in his inner circle is even capable of thinking things through before making announcements. Two months of chaos and I don't even want to read the news anymore.

That's pretty much what they're counting on.

I'm glad someone got that out of the way before someone on FAUX news claimed Biden was giving sex-change operations to mice.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In an emergency address from the Oval Office on Monday afternoon, Donald J. Trump commanded the American people not to check their 401k accounts.

“Anyone caught checking their 409s (sic) can and will be deported,” he warned.

Asserting that he was issuing this order “for your own good,” Trump added, "Elon says there's a virus in the stock market and if you check your stocks it will spread to your body."

Though he claimed that “nothing bad is happening on Wall Street,” he promised the American people that, in the event of a stock market crash, “I will fix it with my Sharpie.”

As expected,

Ontario slaps 25% tax increase on electricity exports to US in response to Trump’s trade war

TORONTO (AP) — Ontario’s premier, the leader of Canada’s most populous province, announced that effective Monday it is charging 25% more for electricity to 1.5 million American homes and businesses in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war.

Ontario provides electricity to Minnesota, New York and Michigan.

“I will not hesitate to increase this charge. If the United States escalates, I will not hesitate to shut the electricity off completely,” Ontario Premier Doug Ford said at a news conference in Toronto.
