Going for the Juggler Hitler's Gestapo arrested a Berlin magistrate under suspicion of saving a Jew from being sent to a concentration camp.
Oh, sorry...
Actually, Trump's FBI arrested a Wisconsin judge under suspicion of helping an undocumented immigrant escape being deported to CECOT in El Salvador.
Different decade, same authoritarian shit.

When I heard that the FBI had arrested a judge for shielding a perp from justice I was hoping they meant Judge Cannon, who did everything possible to keep Trump's keister out of lockup for stealing a full bathroom's amount of classified documents.
But, no, her "punishment" will be a seat on the Supreme Court when the times comes.

Trump is floating a balloon suggesting he might tax the rich, but that's just to give the Red Hatted Stupids out there some "See there!?" ammunition the next time they encounter a sane, reasonable human.
Although if Trump could find a way to tax George Soros into the stone age he'd do it faster than Pete Hegseth could apply more of that 10W-40 into his hair.

The Chinese just said "No!" to America's pork producers as a big FU to Trump's tariffs. A whopping twelve million pounds of "FU". This means pork producers will lose money in the short run as they'll either have to sell their inventory dirt cheap or bury it in a landfill to keep prices stable.
It will probably also mean many hog farmers will go bankrupt, which will mean less pork down the line and then higher prices due to scarcity.
And farmers keep voting for this guy? Sad.

(I'm posting the song again for those who missed it the first time.)
Remember the play/movie "Little Shop of Horrors"? Remember the Dentist's song? Here's a variation I created called "Trump's Song".
Spring 2024: You know what this country needs? It needs a man who can run this government like a business!
Spring 2025: Uh, yeah, uhhh… we probably need a man who can run government like a government.
MAGA
The progressive comic about the bizarre notion of running government like a business.
