You anti-Ameircan POS enjoying our country being torn apart so you can own some libs you ***** ######? And there you go. This is the capacity of your ***** little pea sized brain.

Trump probably works for Russia. Anyone who supports Trump is an anti American communist POS. Many of those on here.

You are a ***** loser POS. I’ve always criticized absurd left politics. I’m not a liberal. But I’m also not a ######ed fascist anti American maga idiot like you. Tough concepts for you to integrate.

Black people benefitted from being slaves and prosper today from it. Was that stupid enough to sound like maga?

Roberts will be an activist the moment he disagrees with the orange diarrhea.

“The consequences for our country and the millions of our citizens who have supported the president — in particular low-income consumers who are already under a huge amount of economic stress — are going to be severely negative. This is not what we voted for,” Ackman said. “The president has an opportunity on Monday to call a time out and have the time to execute on fixing an unfair tariff system,” Ackman concluded. “Alternatively, we are heading for a self-induced economic nuclear winter. May cooler heads prevail.” but why listen to Ackman when you could listen to @BillsFanNC or @Big Blitz

Gas prices were Bidens fault. But tanking the market and alienating the USA from the world is brilliant.

"Trump supporters dont measure his success by what he does FOR them, they measure his success by what he does TO/AGAINST others.....That's why they see him as being "successful". This is why they will NEVER abandon him. His tormenting of the "others" sustains them."

Trump and his allies are the true enemy of America now. The real terrorists.

Your brain is a rotten POS. You are fascist that needs to be deported to Guantanamo. POS anti American *****.

you need a safe space you anti American POS?

Who needs math!!! It's woke! Trump is god!

What do you think about Trump’s blanket tariff announcement on Wednesday? If we go back to Trump, we saw a lot of threats, a lot of tweets, about using tariffs in different ways, but because you had a lot of Wall Street hands in the Cabinet that disagreed with his tariff approach and you had pretty sophisticated economic nationalists like [former U.S. Trade Representative] Robert Lighthizer with Trump’s trust to execute on a smarter or more strategic trade policy. The net result was, despite the threats, you didn’t have that many tariffs. You had some tariffs on China and some tariffs on specific products. The real bipartisan transnational achievement was the renegotiation with Canada and Mexico’s support and with Democrats’ support of the U.S.-Canada-Mexico agreement, which Biden used super aggressively to enforce labor rights protections for workers in Mexico and really showed, using that tool that Trump and Lighthizer created, that you could use trade to benefit workers. That’s what we had in Trump I, but what we’re seeing in Trump II is completely different. There’s a lot fewer guardrails on his behavior, and as a result, the policy that’s being rolled out is less thoughtful, less strategic. It’s just really pushing executive authority to its outer bound extreme in a way. The courts in the first term were willing to let him get away with the country-specific and commodity-specific tariffs. Once you start talking about across-the-board universal tariffs of 10%, at some point, a court is going to look at that and question whether even the most minimal guardrails that do exist in the National Emergencies Act, whether the minimal guardrails have been met. Basically, there needs to be the existence of an emergency, the emergency needs to be unusual and extraordinary, and Congress needs to be kept before, during and after. If you think of that in terms of other parts of administrative law, that doesn’t seem like a lot of guardrails, it seems pretty minimal. But, I think, even that guardrail they have not cleared. Yesterday’s announcement was called an effort to establish reciprocal tariffs. There is a way you could have done that. You could have had an expert agency, even one staffed by Trump-friendly folks, go through tariffs and assess what types of tariffs are being charged, what kind of non-tariff policies that you’re concerned about and come up with a number that can compensate against that. That’s really why we have all of this trade administrative state bureaucracy, whether it’s the U.S. Trade Representative’s office or the International Trade Commission. There are talented civil servants in those places that if you gave them a few months, they could come up with meaningful numbers. Instead, it seems like they just pulled math out of their back pocket to come up with numbers that are arbitrary and capricious. For all of Trump’s concerns about bilateral trade deficits, we’re applying tariffs to countries that we have trade deficits with, that we have trade balances with, that we have trade surpluses with. It’s really across the board. Some countries are getting that made-up tariff number cut in half. Others, like the U.K., despite us having a trade surplus with them, are getting hit with the 10% without the halving of it. You’ve got a lot of discrimination between these otherwise similarly situated actors. We may be seeing the beginning of the end for this type of emergency presidential authority. A lot of these policies have their roots in the New Deal and World War II era where FDR wanted to be put in a more equal position with the prime ministers of the world, who, if they win elections, can kind of govern the way they want to. In the U.S. system, there’s always the possibility that Congress isn’t going to want to work with you. So, we created these emergency powers for when push came to shove the U.S. could respond in kind to international economic developments in the same way a prime minister could. What we’re seeing now is, by pushing this to the outer brink, without giving reason, documentation, consultation, you know — I was really surprised to see the Senate issue its disapproval resolution for the declaration for emergency with Canada. I was surprised, frankly, to see any Republican go along with that. It’s due to the context of what’s been unfolding over the past few days where the administration has been barreling down this tunnel towards an economic collapse. Where that lands remains to be seen, but it depends on the economic impact in markets over the next few weeks. You are an advocate of tariffs in some instances. What do you see about these particular tariffs, the blanket tariffs, that either you might support or where do you think has gone wrong from the approach that you would take? For some people that have looked at Trump’s tariffs, there’s one group of people saying, “If Trump is doing it, it must be bad.” That’s one reaction. Then there’s one more neoliberal reaction from folks that never liked tariffs anyway who say, “Well, a tariff is a tax and a tariff is bad because it’s a tax and a tax is bad because it’s going to raise the cost of imports.” And, to me, that’s a strange critique to make, because it’s sort of like saying, “I don’t like the progressive income tax because it squeezes billionaires.” Yeah, that’s like the definition of what the progressive income tax is. You can not like that outcome, you know, it’s not really a basis for a substantive critique. Tariffs do work, this is something that [liberal blogger] Matt Yglesias wrote about that I agreed with, is that tariffs work by raising the relative cost of imported products. That is how they work. Now, there are certain instances where maybe the full costs don’t get passed through 100% or there are other considerations where you don’t have the full pass-through to price increases. When that happens, great for everyone. But, in general, in Econ 101 terms: You’re trying to make domestic industry more competitive by increasing the relative cost in strategic sectors. What you see with this across-the-board tariff is it’s broadly inflationary. It’s like saying the cost of everything goes up, not just, say, the cost of assembled cars is going to go up. Instead, you’re saying everything is going up. So, whatever benefit you might see for auto workers or other industries from a higher tariff, you kind of just erase if everything else that goes into making a car goes up by that amount. You can contrast that with what Biden did, which is, arguably to a fault, they deliberated over which sectors they would offer tariff protection to. They ended up finalizing a list after a couple of years after the Inflation Reduction Act passed where they realized that the sectors they should protect are the ones that were subsidized — like electric vehicles, like chips. The reason there is super clear. If you’ve just invested trillions of dollars over the decade in these industries that you deem strategic, the last thing you want to have happen is effectively unlimited Chinese capacity overwhelm the market and kill, stillborn, those infant industries you’re trying to promote. These were high tariffs. The difference isn’t that Trump has a high number and Biden had a low number. No, Biden had a high number. It was 100% on electric vehicles. That means you’re basically not getting any electric vehicles from China. That’s pretty prohibitive. The difference isn’t the number, the difference is the scope: Where you’ve decided that some industries are strategic, that isn’t going to be true of all industries. We’re going to have an industrial policy for the clean energy sector, but that doesn’t mean we have an industrial policy for every industry under the sun.

Weird that no mention of financial disaster on Fox today. Headline news Kamala Harris. I guess you got to feed the morons.

At least the real Republicans are waking up. On Thursday, another top Republican senator — Chuck Grassley of Iowa — teamed up with a Democrat to introduce a bill aiming to reclaim congressional authority over the implementation of tariffs. Yes! About transgenders.... LOL

Is that why consumer spending is declining. Everyone is tweaked out. People dont worship a man over reality like you do. His tariffs were nothing like this last time. Nice lie. "The policy may very well fail" JD Vance. Hey nice experiment. It's just America. ‘We just haven’t seen anything like this’: Farmers brace for Trump’s trade war. “We have an example of what happened in the past, and it’s a very similar situation, except the farm economy at that time was much stronger than it is now,” said Caleb Ragland, president of the American Soybean Association and a Kentucky farmer. “We don’t have any margin for error. ...We’re going to lose a generation of young farmers.” Farmers have been Trump’s most loyal constituency and overwhelmingly backed him in the 2024 election. Now they could be one of the groups hardest hit by his trade war, potentially forcing a political reckoning in red states as small- and mid-sized farms struggle to stay afloat and big farms lose their export markets. “If we have problems selling those goods in foreign markets, we see low prices. That’s what we saw in 2018, and that was just a trade war in China. With the announcement yesterday, not only are the tariffs larger than those in 2018 on China but they’re also affecting a lot of other markets, particularly for soybeans,” said Joe Glauber, a former USDA chief economist. “These are all big unknowns because we just haven’t seen anything like this.”

The Trumpers are trying figure out how to use a calculator…. woke math is gross.

President Trump fired at least three senior National Security Council officials at the urging of the far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, according to a U.S. official with direct knowledge of the matter. The dismissals came a day after she met him in the Oval Office with a list of administration personnel she deemed disloyal to him. More firings were possible. Laura Loomer now decides who's loyal? How anyone can be ok with this ***** regardless of your political views is disgusting. You clearly do not understand how the top 1% are taxed in this country. That is how you fix the debt. By shrinking government spending in a rational manner, combined with increasing tax revenue by the 1% instead of taxing the consumer. Stop saying stupid ***** and you wont be called stupid.

My god you are stupid. Yeah only Trump's ideas have a shot of working cause everyone else is dumb. Go read some economics you self admitting ignorant cultboy.

I have a criticism of Trump's idiotic policies.... You morons..... BUT YOU LOVE BIDEN!!!

Paul defended his decision to cross party lines in a speech on the Senate floor in which he quoted American revolutionary James Otis in saying, "Taxation without representation is tyranny." The senator said it was that longstanding principle that originated from the Magna Carta that sparked the American revolution and was incorporated into the Constitution by the Founding Fathers. "And yet today, we are here before the Senate because one person in our country wishes to raise taxes," Paul said. "Well, this is contrary to everything our country was founded upon. One person is not allowed to raise tax. The Constitution forbids it." Paul said the Founding Fathers "so feared the power of taxation that they gave it only to Congress." "I stand against the idea of skipping democracy, of skipping the constitutional republic, of rejecting our founding principles, not because I have any animus towards the president," Paul said. "I do this because I love my country, and I want to see the division of power enabled such that it protects us all from the amalgamation of power into one person such that it can be abused. Another name for emergency rule is martial law." Still having meltdowns over Biden ha? Maybe you need some therapy to learn how to live in the moment.

Wisconsin should be a warning to dumb***** Trump. Even R congressmen have had enough of his idiotic policies.

Mr. Bier, who once worked on Capitol Hill for one of the founding members of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus, said influential figures on the right were raising concerns about a lack of due process because a core principle is at stake. “We’re talking about doing something extraordinary here for the government to sentence people to what’s essentially slave labor, torture, prison in El Salvador based on nothing, based on having a flower tattoo,” he said. “Once we get in the neighborhood of getting rid of due process, that’s the thing that protects all of our citizenship rights.”

Weird insults from you. But not shocking. I am done discussing this with you as you can't respond to certain facts. So I dont give a ***** about your narrative anymore.
