Most countries did try to prevent the plague slightly more than the US did. The “shutdown” was probably more about schools being closed for a few weeks/months and young men getting turned insane by youtube propaganda / anti-woke grifters.
You don’t even need to revoke the entire law. Just pass a resolution saying that the crisis that Trump uses as a legal basis is over (or that he made it up), which should theoretically dissolve his legal ability to enforce the tariffs. Of course, this is speaking from a lawyer POV, which trump has shown the correct amount of respect for until now (none).
Judges who are picked by the Federalist Society also don’t tend to be big fans of the various government agencies, even if they are cop-adjacent
Like half of Britain didn’t even want to look at a German until the mid 1960s out of pure anger over WWII
Didn’t they already try that the last time the fucker was president???
I seem to remember Trump just declaring things a national emergency (like with drug-smuggling across the border with either Canada or Mexico), and Congress having less than zero authority to ever challenge the tariffs after that. Like, Donald Trump definitely declared Canadian lumber a national security threat, and when Trudeau questioned Trump about Canada being a threat, Trump replied with “didn’t you guys burn down the White House”
I assume that he was writing a massive thinkpiece with lots of graphs, then saw the announcements and had to delete it all. Though I look forward to reading his piece when he decides to post again.
Yeah, it’s gonna fucking turbocharge the fascism that is already inbuilt
Seems like the Palestinian people’s remaining hope is that Trump gets personally insulted by Netanyahu deciding to break the ceasefire.
you made me remember that republican local politician who argued that since White is a color, then he should count as a person of color. Legit one of the weirdest attempts at identity politics I have ever seen.
A big problem that he is going to cause is that all the fucking CIA-aligned freaks in Europe are STILL going to be in power while the various intelligence agencies rebuild, unless Trump manages to mortally wound them, which I somehow doubt.
Dipshit faildaughter remembers that she is the face of the rapidly declining economy with a shitload of weapons available for purchase on its eastern border. Would presumably like to not get got by the myriad of people who now consider her the source of their problems.
They seem to have taken the title as an instruction in creating a combat-form of Liberalism. If we aren’t careful, they will make us abandon communism through their mean tweets and snarky clapbacks.
I seem to recall a WTYP episode about the Train Maya, where the mexican guest-host talked about the Mexican Army having quite a lot of influence on Mexican politics, and that AMLO was kind of afraid of potentially getting couped by the army, which was why his reforms couldn’t fundamentally touch the main points of corruption/sidedealing within the army. Some of that might have been cope that AMLO wasn’t as radical as some people hoped for, but it was probably also true to an extent, particularly given that previous links between the Mexican army and the US.
Isn’t WhitePeopleTwitter the headquarters of the Brunch-liberals? I remember blocking that sub during the first trump admin because half of it was Jeff Tiedrich clapbacks, and all the comments would just be puns / songlyrics / Reddit-injokes that stopped being funny in 2013.
Also, wasn’t Koba a georgian folk-character? Like it’s a name that was associated with Georgia, so at most not knowing his lastname would have gotten “Ioseb from Georgia” in trouble.
well, first of all they basically immediately began plundering their entire continent. Then they stole a bunch of patented designs from the British, while being as far away from the british as possible, which allowed them to benefit from the industrial revolution with almost no reason to pay money to britain. Then, after industrializing, they turned themselves into the world’s premiere factory, producing almost every kind of good, and being supplied by quasi-slave labour in every country south of Texas, as these countries were not being protected by a country that could have been a peer to the US. Then they took in a lot of europeans fleeing war and persecution, while said wars and persecutions were destroying the productive capacity of the rest of Europe (and after Europe had already destroyed most of the rest of the world’s). Cut to 1945 and the advent of the Nuke, and now the US was holding the entire planet hostage.
It will also cost a hell of a lot of global oil production, given that Iran has explicitly threatened Saudi Arabia’s oil and water production facilities. And the Saudis are the most fucking treat-addled people in the world.
Was gonna make a joke that this proves the Nazi’s wrong, as this is the single whitest thing I’ve ever come across. But apparently the people who run this cult are just israelis, and their founder was apparently a kurdish jew.
Though extremely funny that this cult that keeps being moved around the world whenever they get in trouble with the authorities seemingly only speaks english and hebrew.
Trump straight up killed a lot of them through his non-handling of Covid, and when being confronted with their own idiocy they doubled down and started taking horse medication and shitting out their intestinal lining. I genuinely don’t think there is anything that can divorce those people from their fixation on Trump personally.
To add to your last paragraph, you shouldn’t underestimate just how much the current crop of republican reps. derive their power from being near Trump. Like, obviously the house reps are all ghouls, but it seems like a solid chunk of them now just consider themselves Trumpists primarily, and anything going against trump is considered political suicide to such an extent that nobody wants to go first.
