    I guess the good news is that the penguins didn't receive one today. But yeah, probably shouldn't be sending official communications to a leader that we don't recognize, mostly because he is a war criminal who overthrew a democratically elected government. Glad that we got this guy a W!

    Shunned Myanmar leader thrilled at US contact after Trump tariff letter

    They're incredibly bad at governing. It's actually somewhat impressive how bad they are at it.

    Formula for success:

    1 Overthrow Democratically elected government
    2 Install autocrat
    3 Tariff autocrat

    Northern Cyprus & Palestine running toward the phone to beg Washington for a tariff letter rn. We found a loophole for the two-state solution!

    Isn't that ironic, both Myanmar’s military leader and the Orange Skidmark believe their 2020 election wins were stolen from them.... They are like two peas in a pod....

    First surplus in over 20 years. I think some Dems were in charge over that time period too. Couldn’t do it.

    Well, your first sentence is obviously false (it was the first monthly surplus since September 2024) and the annual fiscal shortfall is up 14% from last year. Good try though to justify the stupidity though.

    US Monthly Treasury Surplus/Defict - Real-Time & Historical…

    U.S. budget deficit hit $316 billion in May, with annual shortfall up 14% from a year ago

    I dont know why a monthly surplus is a big achievement. But considering we just passed a massive deficit ballooning tax cut, dont get too cocky about treasury surpluses for long lol .

    Where do you get your false information from? There are usually monthly surpluses happening around time taxes are due… Trump just added more taxes for you to pay year round.
