Yes. MTG for example made some money off this grift.Is Sen. Chris Murphy correct?
Wonder if states can prosecute?Yes. MTG for example made some money off this grift.
Here's another evergreen one for posterity.If only some of us told all you Trumpers, Donald is a hateful racist incompetent fuck maybe we wouldn’t be in this mess.
Oh yeah, we did tell you and your response was that it was TDS and fake news.
And now we have it. He just trashed a great US economy right in front of your eyes
Thank the bond markets for this. They aren't buying his bullshit.
Also, if I recall, there is still the flat 10% tariffs that went into effect. The "pause" is only on the more insane numbers (sans China). We're still going to be paying more on top of having paper savings decimated because there is a senile moron at the top surrounded by idiots and a legislative branch that could stop this at any time, but chooses not to for reasons.Thank the bond markets for this. They aren't buying his bullshit.

I'm holding out for quaternions myself that way the tariffs won't be commutative.Just waiting for him to get confused and announce negative tariffs (the US government will pay you to buy the stuff) before leaping into the domain of complex numbers: (10+10i)% on Canada
Don't forget all the austerity in the house budget to pay for tax cuts on the oligarchs. That alone usually brings recession but add those 5 on top of everything and this is going to be a lot uglier than your garden variety recession.Actually incoming recession pretty soon because..
1. DOGE layoffs..
2. supply chain issues due to tariffs on China
3. loss of trust in US markets due to volatility
4. tech layoffs
5. loss of dependability on the US, leading to other countries making supply chains US proof.
Tariffs were the easiest to fix.. the storm is still coming though.
No, I still don't get this at all. They didn't say anything he does is legal, they said he can't be prosecuted for things he does in the line of his duties. That is very different from legal and they have to make that clear in some forthcoming decisions. I expect they will.US Supreme Court already said anything he does in his official capacity is legal.
One of them is MTG.Seems obvious that someone is making a lot of money from these flip-flopping tariff polices and the resultant market oscilations.
Nice round numbers look arbitrary. Arbitrary looks simple minded. Mathematical formula for tariff determination give the appearance of science. All this is a smokescreen in front of what's really afoot: chaos and fleecing.What is their opposition to nice round numbers?
He's got the courage to take this on, which I applaud. It's difficult to come to any other conclusion. I always suspect giant market swings for grifting. This one has its footprints all over it.Is Sen. Chris Murphy correct?
TBH I don't think he's that capable a propagandist. He gets most of his ideas by watching TV, i.e. Fox News and the other right wing news media. He fills his head with their notions and they flow into his "weave." It's a nauseating concoction, what he spews, but he's not the source, it's the cohort media machine.Perhaps the only entity on the planet that Trump cannot flatter, cajole, bargain, bluster, threaten, or lie his way around.

Congress is not even checking his actions, he has carte blancheNot being able to be prosecuted, is not necessarily the the same as making everything he does legal.
Although with how the system works currently it might as well be...
Hence the last sentence :/Congress is not even checking his actions, he has carte blanche

Hoover signed the bill against the advice of many senior economists, yielding to pressure from his party and business leaders. Intended to bolster domestic employment and manufacturing, the tariffs instead deepened the Depression because the U.S.'s trading partners retaliated with tariffs of their own, leading to U.S. exports and global trade plummeting. Economists and historians widely regard the act as a policy misstep, and it remains a cautionary example of protectionist policy in modern economic debates.
Law suits can be filed. The judiciary can stand up to him. He can't fire SC justices. He can say shit, he always does. SFW. He can ignore their decisions. There has to be a solution to this. At the very least, the judiciary can declare his actions illegal.Not being able to be prosecuted, is not necessarily the the same as making everything he does legal.
