My prediction way back when is that he would institute narrow tariffs that don’t make much difference and then hope the economy continued to do well so he could point to something that he did that turned everything around.
I mean, after convincing his sycophants that the economy was in the shitter he couldn’t do nothing and then claim everything was fixed.

Reciprocal tariffs ain't that.

There are three laws that provide presidential authority over tariffs, and two of them require this study period and/or an administrative record.

Why is Trump obeying the law here and not elsewhere? Because he knows that big moneyed interests will sue over illegal tariffs, and he will lose, and he will lose face completely. So his lawyers are trying to dot the is and cross the ts on this one. Federal employees, by contrast, do not have deep pockets and can't easily fight back. There's only so much states can do.

Wake me up when Mich casts an impactful vote that breaks with the Republicans.

I think Mitch is sincere about this. I think he's voting with his conscience, so to speak (it's weird even to type the sentence). He lost his power struggle to Trump, and he's old, and he doesn't give a fuck about Republicans. It's like when John McCain decided not to gut health care on his way out the door (though it was less principled than sometimes he gets credit for).

I think he would have voted the same way on RFK even if his was the 51st vote against. And probably Hegseth and Gabbard too. Of course, the reason he's not the 51st vote against is because MAGA has rejected him and he knows it.

That said, obviously Mitch is horrible. He will never, ever live down what he did.

Musk’s DOGE wants to cut tens of thousands of federal workers, and now it’s aiming at people he thinks are too rich.

Nobody on planet earth has benefited more from the United States government than this racist POS South African and now he is in charge of dismantling said government
 
We should not be involved with Gitmo. But if we must, then IMO the only persons incarcerated there should be US politicians guilty of sedition
 
Well good news is my wife is hitting the roof at me because I never bothered to call Tillis and tell him to vote against RFK Jr, like the barely paid intern who I talked to would take my message straight to Senator SHit Bag and he would have changed his vote.

I fucking hate Trump times.

That's going to be 100% Democrats soon as the coup takes hold.

Tesla Cybertruck, the official bulletproof SUV of the MAGA anti-Woke Special Forces. Knocking heads and making the libs cry in a town near you.
