    No. A guy lying about getting married and moving to Denmark and a complete shill who is worthless unless you want to read about Newscum or left politics (mostly California)

    To be fair, Alito and Thomas long ago gave up any pretense of following the Constitution. They know the conclusion they want and draw a line there.

    Where's the lie in that article from WaPo (owned and operated by Trump-friendly Bezos)?

    The trade deficit is what it is.

    what does it have to do with what he posted? why the deflection?

    I feel like you are so close to seeing the truth but you fizzle out at the last minute. keep trying man, you will eventually see the light. it's refreshing, i promise.

    "hmm that's insane, that can't be true. anyways the left sucks and i will continue making irrational claims"

    The benefits to companies who passed on tariffs in the form of higher prices:

    Benefit #1: Higher prices during the tariff period
    Consumers paid more.

    Benefit #2: Refunds after the tariffs are struck down
    Companies get money back.

    Benefit #3: Prices stay high even after refunds
    Consumers don’t get relief.

    So, we paid more plus they get money back for tariffs and prices are still higher.

    Thanks, Trump

    B-b-but what about the $2k tariff rebate check the regime was promising?

    and we still have broke, trailer park MAGAts waiting on their $5k DOGE check too :(:(

    Did we ever get “90 deals in 90 days” done?

    How’s “no tax on tips” working out for the MAGAts as well?

    I still can't fathom how anyone who claims to be conservative can support tariffs. Just wild to me.

    if Biden was the one who was implementing these stupid tariffs, they’d be raising hell and be fully against it

    but because their daddy is doing it, they support

    notice how they no longer talk about the price of groceries even tho Trump’s brilliant tariffs caused prices to go up across the board…notice how they no longer care about inflation…notice how government spending and deficit is no longer a MAGA talking point

    They serve a purpose in individual cases where a country is doing some shady s!!t, as a way to stabilize a US sector while negotiations (or WTO mediation) is ongoing. We've done it many times (Canadian lumber, various dumpings of foreign steel, etc...). But the insane way the Trump Admin did it across the board as some sort of domestic economic stimulus was every bit the disaster it was predicted to be.

    We are still gonna have dumbasses in our country thinking tariffs were working why else would the elites shutdown their orange savior tariffs too early and deem it illegal.
