Well... it's Trump... again. #47, here we go.

Trump just appointed a registered child sex offender to his youth fitness council. And yes, he brought him to the White House to sign the order reinstating school fitness tests. Because when it comes to predators, birds of felonious feathers flock together.

Who is it who can't understand this? Also, an 'f' missing from 'wait for it'. Actually it is more complicated than this - often consumers have no choice but to pay the higher price as they can't simply always stop buying something (look at what will be happening with coffee now that Trump has put a 50% tariff on it). Some products have no alternate source, with others might find other companies that do not import but obtain the product locally.
 
Great news for Medicare and the average person over 65.

"We'll be putting a initially small tariff on pharmaceuticals, but in one year — one and a half years, maximum — it's going to go to 150%. And then it’s going to go to 250%, because we want pharmaceuticals made in our country," Trump said during a CNBC interview.

Yea... higher prices.
 
Who notices these things? They are right though. Though uncertain about why Section 10 would be removed. Of notice, Sections 9 and 10 were also removed from the 'Explain this' Link as demonstrated by the Wayback Machine. So it was intentional and done sometime after May.

Maybe Doge is cost cutting the Constitution.
 
Hey, at least they are leaving the important bits in. As long as the government doesn't start quartering solidiers in your house without your consent, how bad can it really be?

When was the last time you really needed to habeas any corpuses anyway?
 
Corpuses?! I always thought it was habeas porpoise and it was talking about homes for dolphins.

That might explain why that judge tossed my case against SeaWorld and had me institutionalized.
 

Donald Trump's firing of Erika McEntarfer, the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, has been widely seen as a tantrum caused by disastrous job numbers. That’s true, up to a point, but I think his motivation went a good deal deeper.​

You see, Trump hates the very concept of numbers. Why? Because he sucks at math. Brutally.
​

In fact, math might be his worst school subject, and that includes geography (he thinks there is an African country called Nambia) and history (he thinks the British had airports during the Revolutionary War).

Since Trump has spent over half a century in the business world, you might expect him to be good with numbers; but since he had to file for bankruptcy six times, maybe not.

His staggering math stupidity revealed itself in worrisome fashion during an appearance in 2006 with Ivanka and Don Jr. on Howard Stern’s radio show. After asking the younger Don whether he had attended Wharton, Stern issued this follow-up: “What’s seventeen times six?”

Stumped by this brainteaser, Don Jr. guessed 96 and 94, both incorrect. With Ivanka offering her brother no lifeline, it fell to Dad to save the day. He confidently answered “Eleven-twelve,” meaning 1,112. He was off by a mere 1,010. The correct answer is 102.

You read that right: when it comes to math, Trump is even stupider than Don Jr. But as Little Don’s former fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle, would say, “THE WORST IS YET TO COME.”

After boasting, in 2020, “I know South Korea better than anybody,” Trump declared that Seoul had a population of 38 million, overshooting the correct answer by 28 million. His biggest math mistake, though, was one he made in his first budget, in 2017. That goof, which wasn’t exactly a rounding error, totaled $2 trillion.

In his second term in office, his math skills appear to have deteriorated—if such a thing is possible.

Speaking to members of Congress last month, Trump boasted, “This is something that nobody else can do. We’re gonna get the drug prices down. Not 30 or 40% which would be great, not 50 or 60, no. We’re gonna get ‘em down 1,000%, 600%, 500%, 1,500%.”

That is, in fact, something that nobody else can do—because it’s mathematically impossible. Let’s do a little calculation, shall we?

The price of a month’s worth of Ozempic is about $1000. 1500% of that would be $15,000. So if Trump reduced the cost by that amount, the makers of Ozempic would have to pay the customer $14,000.

No wonder Trump fired the Labor Statistics boss: math makes his head hurt. Molly Ivins's quote about Dan Quayle applies equally well to Donald Trump: “If you put that man’s brain in a bumblebee, it would fly backwards.”

The web site reported there was a "coding error" and the articles have been returned.

Sure...

How given how much the Trump Administration lies and how much they would love to abolish Habeas Corpus, and the Constitution hasn't been amended since 1992, why would there be a new coding error.
