Potus ???

Leavitt is definitely worth the humour to watch the press conference, the instant attack and blame everything on Joe Biden, you can almost script her answers yourself (it is like a Leavitt Bingo card I have).

 

In the US there is nothing unusual about price tags having the 'price' plus the various sales taxes listed (remembering 'ticket price' is before tax), all Amazon are doing is continuing this established procedure and listing import taxes. For clarity, the American consumer can now see clearly which products have no import tax (ie American produced goods) and which are imported, you'd have thought she'd think this is a good thing wouldn't you.... except the instant leap to attack suggests she is trying to defend something she cannot really defend.

Update

Amazon says any plan to list import charges was never approved and it "is not going to happen"

So Leavitt thinks that Bezos and Amazon have partnered with a Chinese propaganda arm (as reported by Reuters), and Trump thinks that Bezos, who he has known for a couple of years is a really great guy... so which is it? Evil incarnate according to his mouthpiece or a great guy according to the dottery old man.

Having recently binged watched Yellowstone, then 1923 and 1883 I was pleased to see this chart, as it means net migration will fall below the peak of 3m during Biden's tenure.

Trump's reasons for wanting migrants out are likely different to mine, my reason is the beautiful countryside you can see in the Yellowstone series and the whole stretch of wilderness the pioneers ventured through in the 1883 series will be more slowly infected by human nests if the population growth slows. 

I will never get to see America like those hardy folk who ventured out into Indian lands, and anyway I can't ride a horse, but the less condos the better. Trump's reasons are more crime reduction and reduced spending on benefits, from what I can gather. Maybe I'm wrong

During the Biden administration, there were large and unexpected immigration flows at the southern border. The surge was dominated by those who lacked regular status but were allowed to enter for humanitarian reasons, including asylum seekers with a credible fear of returning home, participants in humanitarian parole programs for those fleeing from certain countries, and individuals who received temporary parole or a notice to appear in immigration court. The Congressional Budget Office estimated overall net migration of 3.3 million in 2023, including migration of “other foreign nationals” far higher than historical norms

Apart from the Robbie Coltrane bit it's pretty accurate!

Got to remember his attention span, he'll be dead by the time it hits critical levels rather than just "we need to act now"... so if he dismisses them all he doesn't have to use his limited brain power to worry about it.
