Tariffs Catch-All

[Duke Mu]

How could people not understand Trump's aberrant psychology? We knew he was disease in Trump 1.0. Only the Adults in the Room prevented disaster after disaster, and they were ignored largely during COVID.

Did you get any Vietnamese Dong while in Nam? Sorry, worst currency name ever.

I’m playing guitar at a wedding next weekend, the bride is Asian. Last name (you guessed it) Dong.
Her new last name (should she decide to accept it) will be Slinger. Her name will then read:
Mari Dong Slinger

This whole "owning the libs" movement is literally destroying our country. And MAGA can't get enough of it. Traitors. Every last motherfucking one of them.

Debate was a disaster for America.

Jill Biden is the villain here IMO. She knew he wasn't up for the job.

My friends have friends who's last name is Aycock. They named their Son Holden.

What a total shit show with the stock market. Even worse, these greedy Trump insider fucks have shorted the market in advance and will make millions, while the rest of us get fed gruel and told to about our way. Oh, and zero percent tariff on the motherland, Russia. Makes perfect sense if the orange turd is a Russian asset.

Just calling attention to the issue — Dems have no meaningful power in the minority, people demand they do something and so Dems pull whatever levers they can and people are like “that’s so weak!” and Dems are like we know it is the problem with being in the minority!

Reminds me of the battle scene in Braveheart when the king ordered his archers to shoot into the crowd battling on the field before them.
“Won’t we hit our own soldiers?”
“Yes…but we will hit theirs as well.”

“… As countries digested the stinging tariffs imposed by the United States, some got a nasty surprise. The actual tariffs they will have to pay could be even higher than the ones President Trump first announced.

At least 17 countries are in this category, and the official tariff rate for each of them appears to be one percentage point higher than the number on cards that Mr. Trump displayed on Wednesday during a speech in the Rose Garden.

A single percentage point may not sound like much, but it could amount to tens of millions of dollars, and in some cases likely billions, more economic pain for each country.

… It is not clear how the discrepancy in the numbers, laid out in different charts released by the administration, came about. The White House did not respond to a request for comment. …”

Sounds a lot like “lie back and enjoy it”

I know I am repeating myself, but before we judge St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago too harshly, let's find out what kind of Kompromat Vlad "the Ras" Putin has on him. Once we know that, then we can judge for ourselves whether we would have acted more heroically than St. Donald has. Given St. Donald's known eccentricities, I'm thinking what Vlad has is pretty disgusting. On the other hand, St. Donald knew this day was coming. The pain would have been less back when he was just a failed businessman who had not only squandered a fortune that his father had left him but also squandered what he was able to steal from his siblings and/or their heirs.

This whole "owning the libs" movement is literally destroying our country. And MAGA can't get enough of it. Traitors. Every last motherfucking one of them.

For starters, stop indulging them by using the phrase owning.

This whole "annoy the libs" movement is destroying the country. This whole "show your asses to libs" movement is destroying the country.
