How much will the cost of the lawsuits eat into the DOGE savings?

Oh okay, now China cares about the WTO after abusing it since day 1.

I'm just going to bathe in the nihilism of it all from here on out, its just all so tremendously ridiculous.

maybe Trump will copy Reagan and do a government cheese give-away to offset tariff pain?

That's nacho cheese!

Fascism will likely need near constant opposition

In fairness, that's always been true...

Not in the manner I mean.

The techbroligarchy and billionaire cabals are intentionally undercutting the international standing of the US. They are actively raiding the wealth of the nation like an anti-social, bottom-dwelling private equity firm. Isolating us makes it easier to consolidate the wealth, and take it at will.

I'm very curious to see the tariff omission list. That will be telling.

I've already railed here against these tariffs. They are fucking stupid with absolutely no real upside and only calamitous downside.

I just scrolled back 24 hrs. I don’t see any magas coming to ttump’s aid. Not even one of our “good Germans” is rhetorically engaged.

What’s up, guys?

The EO didn’t provide an option for issuing exceptions but then again Trump will obviously do whatever he wants regardless.

Flavio Volpe, the president of Canada’s Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association, told POLITICO that 25 percent tariffs will cripple the North American auto industry. “The industry will shut down in the U.S. and Canada and Mexico within a week, much like we saw it happen during the first phase of the pandemic and the Ambassador Bridge blockade,” he said.

“The one thing that none of us modeled, whether that’s industry or government or somewhere in between, is an American president that has complete disregard for American prosperity and economic health,” said Volpe, who is also a member of Trudeau’s Council on Canada-U.S. Relations, a group that includes interests from politics, business, labor and industry.
