  1. A follow up here. We actually have a trade surplus with Australia and yet are going to tariff all imports from Australia at 10%. If it’s not about tariff rates or even trade deficits- then the Answer is what Trump says: he thinks tariff revenues can replace the need to have an income tax and also that the tariffs are never going away
  2. You don’t have it right. Vietnam purportedly offered to go zero out tariffs and Navarro claimed the administration rejected the offer because it didn’t address “non-tariff” ways in which it was “cheating”. By which he means that we have a trade deficit There is no off ramp
  3. I mean we can laugh about it but the Nazis were fucking clowns too. Hell, the Supreme Court just gave Trump the legal grounds for “if we deport you to a foreign slave labor prison before you can get a lawyer, you’re fucked” They decide who “enemies” are and you have no realistic chance for judicial review. That’s where we are now. Given that the IRS will now share data with DHS - mass deportations to concentration camps ran by private prisons is next. Things are very very dark
  4. DOGE is the deep state. They are imbedded throughout government, ran by a foreign billionaire, and they alone control who the government pays, or what services get rendered- laws and Congress be damned. They created a deep state
  5. Oh that’ll be DC’s problem. What? GOP slashed DC’s budget by $1billion? lolol oops what a hell hole amirite?
  6. He’s probably got sock accounts
  7. It’s intentional. They are trying to break it because they don’t have the votes to destroy it
  8. Yeah, it was called the CHIPS act and it was fucking working
  9. Shorter UTEE:
  10. Aren’t we already taxing all imports from China at 54%? So 104%.
  11. Yes. The king is mad and dug in. Honestly Congress taking away the tariff button isn’t enough. He needs to be removed from office
  12. This is being refuted by the White House and the little market rally off this made up headline is being obliterated
  13. He literally believes that a trade deficit means the US is losing money. Wharton should retract his degree because surely no one with that degree would say something so stupid… and yet This is Trump: And Congress and businesses are too cowardly to do any damn thing about it. I know I’m repeating myself but this is all just so fucking dumb
  14. Maybe billionaires who are wholly insulated from consequences for crashing the economy shouldn’t be running government. This is all just so fucking dumb
  15. If Putin himself was in control of the presidency- can someone tell me something that would be different than what is happening right now? How long will Congress permit this insanity?
  16. Just the stupidest way to run a country
  17. None of this discusses tariffs on steel or aluminum. Regardless of where the cars are assembled the price of materials is skyrocketing and will cripple so many industries.
  18. Buddy, it’s only March. Buckle up
  19. Almost assuredly due to luck that the story broke one day before intelligence heads were scheduled to testify on an annual report of security threats to congress. It’s not like the GOP Senate would have willingly sought a hearing on this topic. But also it shows 1) none of these people are fit for service in handling classified information and 2) they communicate this way regularly on cell phones
  20. The team just fell apart down the stretch. No fight
  21. No shit - I would have voted for his corpse that was animated by the magic of Jim Henson studios and the Muppets over any of this wannabe despot BS
  22. So in one case in CA, a judge ruled to reinstate 24,000 probationary employees who were fired illegally (with back pay) and now this: I just can’t get over how damn efficient this all is. Elon truly showing how brilliant he is in creating lasting change for the better
