Let’s take a brief inventory of the Trump dictator shakedown demands:
$10 Billion demand to be transferred to Trump directly from the IRS;
$5 Billion demand to be transferred directly to Trump from JP Morgan;
$230 Million demand to be transferred directly to Trump by DOJ for investigation in Florida;
$15 Billion demand to be transferred directly to Trump by the New York Times;
$5 Billion demand to be transferred directly to Trump by the BBC.
And that is before the voluntary payouts from middle eastern governments and organizations and crypto scams.
And this is cheered?

Trump is demanding to be bribed again. How many mob shakedowns has Trump done?

Steal or no steal, Trump is limited to two terms. Besides, he will be like 100 years old by then.

Dude, just stop with the “Monroe doctrine.” It is not whatever you imagine it to be. You can’t change it now that Monroe is no longer president. Call it something new, fine. But we can’t just redefine historical things.

My health insurance before Obamacare was $180 a month and I had better coverage than what I’m paying $853 a month for now.
You are comparing your health insurance premium almost 20 years ago to today? Wow.
The rate of increase before 2010 was already high.

me newer vehicles with automatic electronic parking brakes have to have a scanner that can reset that system after a brake service. Some have to have the scanner to release those brakes through the ECM before you can do anything with them.

re: Tariffs
Posted by TBoy on 2/20/26 at 9:10 pm to ForTheWin81
Of course there are rational applications of tariffs. Tariffs can be used to protect domestic specific industries. For example, we could impose a tariff on imported shrimp to drive its price up to protect the viability of the Gulf shrimpers. Other tariffs could protect domestic wages for labor intensive products.
Today’s announcement of 10% on every import from everywhere is irrational. It’s just a tax with no policy purpose.
And liberals don’t “hate tariffs.” Actually, free market capitalists hate tariffs. Liberals do however understand that Trump’s tariff policies are irrational and will do more harm than good.

How does the US implementing a 10% global tariff result is "us" being "taxed more".
Because foreigners are not subject to US taxation. The US government cannot levy taxes on foreign citizens residing in foreign nations. The US government's taxing jurisdiction only extends to people and companies here in America. Tariffs are imposed on the US importers, not on the foreign exporters.
So "we" are being "taxed more."
How could you possibly not understand this by now?
Tax us more because “why not?”
You are the very definition of a toady moron.

It was a great dissent from Thomas. But the statute never once mentions or even hints at the word "tariff"
It is always interesting when “textualists” suddenly want to ignore the text because they really just want to support their tribe. The “text” is only important when it limits the other tribe.

We all know Trump is super old and falls asleep at random times, but he isn't 250 years old. Your statement isn't fair to the geezer.
