The Morning Sixpack – September 3, 2025
Money, missiles, mayhem, and middle-aged cartoon idiots—welcome to another day in Trump’s America.
Wall Street is screaming for higher rates. The 30-year Treasury yield brushed 5% as investors demanded more to bankroll ballooning U.S. debt. It’s not just America—Japan and Europe are seeing the same sell-off, signaling global distrust in governments running tabs they can’t cover.
Trump’s family minted $5 billion on day one of their crypto hustle. WLFI, the new Trump coin, instantly became their crown jewel despite being “locked” from sale. This from the guy who once called Bitcoin a scam. Watchdogs are right to cry foul—it’s corruption gift-wrapped in blockchain.
Even Republicans hate Trump’s $5B ‘pocket rescission.’ Senators from Murkowski to Thune are calling it unlawful, chaotic, and a shortcut to a government shutdown. When your own party thinks you’re lighting yourself on fire, maybe rethink the match.
The U.S. Navy is blasting Venezuelan boats now. Trump bragged about a missile strike that killed 11 alleged cartel members, while Maduro responded with militias and propaganda. It’s a dangerous rerun of Trump’s first-term gunboat diplomacy—only now the rhetoric is louder and the stakes deadlier.
Activists are tailing ICE and posting their moves in real time. Apps with hundreds of thousands of users now warn communities about raids before they hit. The White House calls it obstruction, but the courts say it’s legal. Welcome to 2025: ICE surveillance has push notifications.
Beavis and Butt-Head are back to roast our idiocy. Season 3 proves the duo still make sharper cultural points than half the think tanks in D.C. Whether middle-aged, stoned, or clueless, they’ve evolved just enough to hold a mirror up to our AI, social media, and political nonsense—and it’s hilarious.
Closing thought: From Treasury chaos to cartoon commentary, the through-line is the same—America runs on grift, distraction, and denial. The least we can do is laugh while it all burns.
