The other night as we watched the news there were reports
that The Felon wants these large retailers to “eat the tariffs,” meaning earn
less in profits because that’s good business. I ranted; I raged; and then I did a glorious spit-take when
Carlos said:
“Eat the carrots? What does that even mean?”
Goddess, that man slays.
Sidenote: this is what will happen, a retailer imports, say,
a doll. The doll costs them $5 but they mark it up to $10 for a nice profit;
tariffs enter the picture and now the doll will cost the retailer $20 or more,
so they mark it up to $30 to make their profit.
Then, when tariffs end and the doll goes back to costing $5
the retailer will lower the price of the doll to $20 and tell us how they are
saving us money while making a larger profit.
Eat the rich. |
I imagine there are days when she wishes she could disappear as fully as the statue, hopefully gone to the smelter.
ReplyDeleteI don't think she wishes she could disappear as I wish she would disappear.
DeleteIf my blood pressure wasn't already up enough this morning. Yes your right, prices will never come back down again. Even if the tariffs do go away...we are talking about greedy corp chains, because it's America.
ReplyDeleteThe Adriana Smith story is awful. These people are wing nuts. The baby will be mostly compromised anway. And what the point of getting a living will and have family present, if their will is not met?
And Jake Trapper has really changed, and not for the better... gave up on CNN some time ago. The dump learn from Sesame Street? That would be to highbrow learning for him. A shame this has happened. How many kids won't see this show now because some parents won't be able to afford a streaming platform to let their kids see it. By time he's done PBS will be gone altogether, I'm sure.
Why don't I see that at my hardware store when I go in??? Maybe I can reenact this for my next Hump Day portrait?
Corporate greed needs to be the takedown; the boycott of Target hit them in the wallet and we should keep it up.
DeleteIt's disgusting to keep a dead woman alive because you think the baby will suffer no consequences.
Jake Tapper is a pandering f**k.
I do like a good HARDware store.
ReplyDeleteThe Qatar plane gift contradiction is extraordinary. Qatar is a crap and corrupt country with a murdering leader.
I want to marry Chand, well for a short time.
But it's free and so The Felon must have it.
DeleteI might like to have Chand laze about my house in his briefs.
That orange! Oh my.
ReplyDeleteOver on Allison's blog she mentioned that there's some history between Tapper and the Bidens that may explain why he would have a vendetta against them. I hadn't heard about that but it casts an interesting light on Tapper's book. (Which I have no interest in reading.)
Oh, and re. the Melania statue, I suspect she had it stolen herself. It was hideous! (Apparently this is a real Internet conspiracy theory.)
DeleteI'll pass on Jake's book too.
DeleteI heard the statue called a Smurf statue and so I could also picture Melanie having it dragged away!
I just wonder how the fellow in the orange underpants manages to walk with his trousers round his thighs.
ReplyDeleteSlowly. 😈😈😈
DeleteI had to snigger at the "sad" news from Slovenia about a fake First Lady" (that's no lady, that's a gold digger).
ReplyDeleteIt is quite funny.
DeleteI don't know about the Home Depot website, but I can tell you we have a very large board bragging about our DEI that is labeled DEI. If you want, I can post a picture.
ReplyDeleteper Google: Home Depot has quietly removed its DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) page from its website. The page, which previously highlighted the company's commitment to DEI, has been replaced with a page titled "WeAreTHD" that focuses on employee benefits and wages. This change comes after a period of pressure from conservative groups and following President Trump's calls for dismantling DEI programs in public agencies and private businesses.
DeleteThe prices will NEVER come back. Ever.
ReplyDeleteAnd they cut that mail order bride's statue down? Not a day sooner.
Fuck Jack Tapper. I read Jimmy Kimmel CANCELED his program to not give him a platform for his shitty book. Good. Tapper immediately ran to that blonde bimbo's (they are all the same) podcast to whine. Hope the sales are horrible and his 'book' ends up in the clearance section of the Dollar General.
And I'd trail that man through the Homo Depot for AISLES AND AISLES. I may have done that for some hot trade in gray sweatpants before...
XOXO
That's the point of tariffs, more money for corporations.
DeleteThat Kimmel story is true and bravo to Jimmy!! Jake Tapper can FOAD.
I would follow him all through the store and all the way home and into his house and ... possibly then get arrested for stalking!
Forced incubator...I think I've seen old horror films about shit like that.
ReplyDeleteThe folks in Slovenia must be so proud of Melanie - I mean she went from prostitute to mail-order bride to Fake First Lady of the now-extinct U.S.
Russian hookers shouldn't get statues.
Delete🧐 Bob, how could you? Usually an advocate for keeping shopping aisles moving swiftly and free of obstacles now supporting narcissists and photographers creating traffic jams...for what?! Cakes with orange icing?! 🍊 🍰 Tsk!! 😘
ReplyDelete🥕🥕 Eat the carrots! 🤣 Best take yet on Carrot Face's admission that tariffs are NOT paid for by China and will NOT pay for child care and eliminate income tax and make us all rich!! 🤬💩🤡
😹 Hooray Consuelo!! Somebody has to keep the Casa under control! You Rock and so do Tuxedo and Lt. Max!! 😻🤘
Sometimes a good traffic jam for cakes can be nice.
DeleteConsuelo has decided that she runs the show now, though she has yet to prove that to Rosita!
Good for Consuelo, coming into her power and OWNING it!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how she has become so bossy!!
DeleteDuncan Jones really nailed it with his post. A lot of folks seem to develop a conscience when they get a big check from a publisher. We are a terrible lot most days. You and Carlos take care and I hope Consuelo lets you enjoy the long weekend.
ReplyDeleteSo far Consuelo is letting us be ... but I fear a change is coming.
DeleteI wonder where Melania had the statue hidden. Amen, Duncan Jones! Finally, Consuelo. If anyone needs me, I’ll be under the covers with Chand Smith. And no one had better need me!
ReplyDeleteMelanie probably put the statue in the bed at Mar-illegal and The Felon thinks it's her.
DeleteConsuelo; I live in fear!
the dog's mother
ReplyDelete(Carlos) (Tuxedo always) (Consuelo)
xoxo :-)
Consuelo. Bless her heart.
Deletexoxo
My understanding is that Adriana Smith was only 9 weeks pregnant when she ended up on life support. I've read that as the tissues break down in her body, creating fluid to leak, and the likelihood of the survival of the fetus is slim to none. In the meantime her poor family will be stuck with a huge medical bill. It's beyond belief!
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, it is interesting to see a change in dynamics when an in-charge cat passes away. Consuela makes a wonderful alarm clock... :)
That woman's story is just disgusting; what they are doing to her and her family and her dignity just to prove their love to that imaginary sky man is vile.
DeleteWe had a cat named Scruffy in Miami and when Tuxedo joined us, he trailed Scruffy everywhere, learning the ropes. When Scruffy passed Tuxedo took the lead ... and now Consuelo is feeling herself!
It's so nice to be able to see the color orange again without feeling extreme nausea. Thank you, Bob.
ReplyDeleteHere, here!
DeleteOrange is the New Hot Ass???
DeleteTICK - I have read this post and absorbed its contents.
ReplyDeleteBravo!!
DeleteThose Home Depot shelves look suspiciously like Ikea shelves to me. Did that man's Mum not teach him to dress properly?The belt needs to be tight enough to hold the pants UP.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't know Home Depot from IKEA ...
DeleteThank you for pointing out the irony of the felon getting a plane from a country that supports Hamas while people are getting in trouble for supporting Palestinian rights. I hadn’t thought of that.
ReplyDeleteHe's a con artist and criminal so he doesn't care.
