    So tonight around 7pm est this threat will be canceled. He’s got such a predictable pattern. Every country he threatens with tariffs they should return in kind and NOT back out when he does. He wants to be a bitch and make threats his mouth can’t cash.

      He gets his threats in the morning because there’s no-one there to talk him out of it. When he gets near an advisor they explain why it’s bad and they walk it back. Never trust anything he posts overnight, his minders aren’t there.

        Or someone pays $5 million to have dinner with him at Lard-a-mago and changes his mind.

        Not kidding, that’s the going rate.

      Yeah, but I’m not rewarding Kentucky just because what I want to drink becomes too expensive.

      Maybe this is the year I stop drinking entirely and just switch to fentanyl or something else that this administration isn’t actually doing anything about.

        Just plant some poppies and make yourself a tea

        Much cheaper than heroin or fenta, still gives you enough of a buzz, and it can be bio and you know where it comes from without all the possible dirt in it.

        I guess, you didn’t really mean it, but if someone really thinks about fenta or H as a substitute for alcohol or medical opiates, please consider this alternative, as you have much more control of what you put into your body.
        And a tea holds up for like 24h, in comparison to a much shorter timeframe with H or fenta - which in those cases is/was a good thing, as you can dosage it much better e.g. during surgery.
        But for pain relief or just recreational stuff, short lived opiates are the devil, as you need to obviously take it more often - and with that, the little thing in your head will always say “oh come on, just a little bit more this time, I had a bad day/I deserved it today”

        As said, I’m pretty sure your post wasn’t serious, but people in such a situation should still consider safer and more cost effective alternatives.
