These are the mad political rantings of one Matthew McNeil, Liberal/Democratic radio host in Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN. The postings are mine, the thoughts are mine. Mostly about politics, but I will occasionally get into raising kids, cooking, gardening, the arts and my favorite sports. Bon Appetite!

The Worst Thing Trump Did on 2/1/25
The absolute f-ing moron that is Trump, ignoring every intelligent person who has a basic high school understanding of economics, started an unnecessary and damaging trade war with the USA's three largest trading partners, Canada, Mexico, and China.
Conservatively this will cost at least $700 per household in this country and likely much more. Everything will cost more. And no, our manufacturing base is not coming back. They pay workers in foreign countries a dollar an hour (at best!). They're not about to pay substantially more here.
And we are about to learn the rest of the world likes Canada and Mexico more than they like us.
Nope, this is only going to hurt.

The Worst Thing Trump Did on 1/31/25
It's clear by the air disaster response of the White House and the Trump Administration that caring, empathy, and compassion are impossible for the modern Republican to convey.
Add to that an epic level of stupidity and there are no words.
Trump, when asked if he was going to visit the crash site where a commercial jet hit a military helicopter and everyone died, said:
"I have a plan to visit, not the site. Because you tell me, what's the site? The water? You want me to go swimming."
...
...
...
What a f-ing idiot!
It's not like he wasn't talking crazy the entire campaign. His supporters and the media made excuses for it. Now that it's official national policy, I will never forgive the national news media for intentionally getting us into this mess.
