  1. It really is too bad that he decided to pursue all these tariffs out of nowhere on Day 1 after not talking about them at all during the campaign. Robbed the voters of the ability to make a reasoned choice knowing the consequences.

    ~~Russia~~ Mexico, China, and Canada, if you’re listening, I want you to put an extra 50% tariffs on Kentucky goods for good measure.

    Mitch supports Trump, Kentuckians support Mitch and Trump….

    Im not seeing the problem here. Kentuckians are getting EXACTLY what they voted for.

  4. On this and so many other issues, I don’t think Mitch McConnell ever grasped how much power Congress was ceding to the President. He was one of the chief instigators of gridlock in Congress, and he helped fill the courts with judges who privileges the executive over the legislature. Those choices are how we got to the present Trumpian order where the President writes the laws, directs the appropriations, *and* executes on those.

    I’m not saying this in a vindictive way, and I’m not saying “fuck this guy”. I’m glad he’s opposing the new order. But it’s important to appreciate how we got here in the first place.
