Maxine Waters, earlier today: "Bet your bottom dollar, Trump will back off by the weekend."

Maxine Waters
@RepMaxineWaters

Spineless GOP Senators grew a backbone this week & finally stood up to their Dictator Trump on something: Mexico tariffs, also known as a TAX INCREASE on American consumers. Bet your bottom dollar, Trump will back off by the weekend. Just another bluff!

11. They increased the chocolate ration!

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday […] it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it. [...] The eyeless crature at the other table swallowed it fanatically. passionately, with a furious desire to track down, denounce, and vaporize anyone who should suggest that last week the ration had been thirty grams. Syme, too-in some more double complex way, involving doublethink-Syme, swallow it. Was he, then, alone in the possession of a memory?”

8. I think it's just market manipulation.

Trump's Wall St buddies are making kazillions off this BS.

Trump says something stupid, stocks go down. They buy low or short the mkt, then wait for him to back off, the market rises and they sell high. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I wish someone would investigate it.
