Today's Full Moon Also Thinks "Only Stupid People Reject Gifts"

Gifts from the universe, that is, not the Qatari government. Read on for today's news breakdown.

Let’s say you’re on holiday from last Friday thru tomorrow (wouldn’t that be nice!) You turn off all news alerts, but you kinda wanna know what’s going on. So, you give me a call this afternoon asking for updates on the political and astrological news you’ve missed.

Here’s what I’d tell you:

• Trump cut a trade deal with China and markets went crazy this morning. People are suggesting we’re moving from a bear market to a bull market, but tbh the astrology kinda indicates otherwise

• Flights to Newark about to be cheap as hell

• Speaking of Newark, ICE arrested the mayor Friday and the DOJ is threatening to arrest Dem lawmakers

• Today is a spicy full moon in Scorpio, the consequences/decisions of which will come to light on Saturday

• Trump is anti-refugee/asylum status for seemingly everyone except the Afrikaners, which pissed off the Episcopal Church

• The news is equal parts wild and hilarious — I can’t stop laughing about Trump’s plan to accept/comments about his Qatari ‘gift’

• The habeas corpus threat is the first time Smartt Takes has been kinda wary of this admin in a like, oh maybe they are actually trying to suppress everyone who isn’t them kinda way?

• Republicans have a massive Medicaid problem that no one can agree on

• Mercury moved into Taurus, so everyone’s thinking about money, comfort, finances, stability

• Laura Loomer is reallllly confident (overconfident?) about her relationship with Trump

You’d be like, seriously?! I just read Smartt Takes on Thursday, and I missed all that in four days? Yep, and my Mother’s Day homage, historical reflection which you can read here:

And you’d ask me to extrapolate on all of the updates. And I’d be like yo I’m happy to but also that’s my job, and I gotta pay my bills, so how about you buy me a coffee ($6/month) and I’ll tell you the rest? Or, if you’d rather break it down by conversation, how about sending me $0.33 cents when we chat and we’ll call it even?

And you’d either be like “yea, for sure,” in which case, read on!

Or, you’d be like nah, I’m good with the bullets. In which case, you do you!

Now, for you $0.33-ers, let’s get into it ;)
