Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog serves up another current events roundup from a world where anti-Trump loons who never even heard of the word “tariff” a few weeks ago are joining the latest pile-on panic. Seriously, the best way to silence anti-Trumpers with the TikTok mentality is to ask them to explain their understanding of how tariffs work. You’ve never seen conversations end so quickly.

Jock Mahoney, a former Tarzan and stunt man for Errol trained Sean in fencing and acrobatics to prepare for the role.
