When they try to take our voices may we as well find other ways to speak maybe not in speech but through ART through comedy expression and may it have a powerful impact!
Mother fucker would pop out of a bowl of Rice Krispies if there was a local school bond measure but the single biggest tax increase in 80 years and he’s gone Flip Wilson
I’m a South African American & I’m ready for the sky god to burn the USA (& I live here, so I’m happy to sacrifice my life so the world can live in peace) 😞
Because (1) its harder to enforce small retailers because there are millions, and (2) the economic burden is too high for the small retailer. Lots of laws are based on company size, like FMLA, which doesn't apply to employers of fewer than 15 people.
I mean, if Trump was being truthful about the tariffs, then he should be totally fine with displaying the price differences. He's been insisting that the country is saving billions of dollars, so that means prices at the register will be lower, right? RIGHT??? 👀
Another thing that won’t pass. Cool. This isn’t how you get this information in front of Americans. You need to be on podcasts, YouTube, TikTok, you should be blasting ads on every social media service. Virtue signaling bills that won’t get passed and won’t even get covered does exactly jack + shit.
What an idiotic take. It may not pass. And if it doesn’t, it shows what complicit assholes Rep congresspeople are. That in itself is an important aim. It also communicates an idea that businesses are free to use.
It’s not about businesses being free to do what they like.
“Requires” in the language says that it would be mandated for employers to do it.
Nothing like a Democrats promoting strict regulations on businesses.
Of course the far left don’t see a problem with that.
Strict regimentation of society.
Retailers will not be able to show tariffs on every piece of apparel, shoes, and other accessories that come from China. It would be an enormous task 🤦♀️
I pray it passes, I went to order something the other evening and of course it was from China and by the time it was added up with shipping and the tariff I could have bought four of them for the price I was being charged. Needless to say I didn't get it.
As much as I like this from just a basic consumer standpoint, what I would like more is price, + taxes and tariffs = final price shown. I would even like to see it online.
Retailers don't include sales taxes on products cause they vary by State & locality. There's no Federal law to display OR omit what Fed taxes are, i.e., tariffs. Retailers can, but wont fearing Trump's attacks. Amazon showed. Would be good to know when it's not the tax, but consumer price gouging.
Great idea, but will never happen. I love all these great bills our Democratic representatives are introducing that stand no chance in hell if getting passed. Do they think this will appease their base? Consider me “unappeased”! #wethepeople are making our voices heard. Need to see more action!!!!
Even if this goes through the MAGAts I've been talking to lately absolutely refuse to see anything wrong with what's happening. "It will all work out fine in the end." "It's going to allow local govt to manage resources better." Huh??? This is what I'm hearing. They can't/won't see anything wrong.
Ask them how that will happen. When they talk in generalities, ask for specifics. Ask them what assumptions must be made for things to work out that way. They can’t answer because there is no rational thought or logic behind anything that comes out of their mouths. They will never admit to having
And if you offer evidence of the grifting, mismanagement, general idiocy, etc., that has taken place in the past 4 months (I know I know it’s been happening for much longer than that) they dismiss it and double down. I don’t know how you fix that 🤦🏻♀️😱
Sure thing! Customers have a right to know how they get ripped off by Trump’s dumbass tariffs. Dude’s unfit to lead! Why are American voters electing morons to Congress? Makes NO sense, at all 😱
I'm less a fan of his now than I was for years, because he's been proposing performative legislation that, in addition to being obviously nothing more than performance, is (imo) unconstitutional.
What's his point? Guessing @aoc.bsky.social wonders too.
Will it pass? Probably not, unfortunately, unless some Repukelicans grow a spine. I heard they had to install ramps into the chambers so these snakes could slither in.
So Amazon sent me this today. It's a cordless vacuum cleaner. I had in my cart. It's not in my cart anymore bc it's almost $200 now🤦🏿♀️ bc of these stupid Trump and Republican GOP Christian Nationalist MAGA cult Party tariffs 🤦🏿♀️
What a ridiculous waste of time. This will be over by the time this has any effect, assuming that it EVER gets passed in the first place. Enough of this symbolic BS. Just stop governing, for Pete’s sake. Just go home and let it be perfectly clear that all failures are due to Republicans.
By introducing it, it'll give retailers cover to begin displaying it anyway. This is the type of thing that'll get djt on his back foot, and hopefully reconsider his asinine approach. Not all tarrifs are bad, but his ridiculous implementation and extortion tactics have backfired.
How about removing Shitler and his shitophants instead of introducing shit that has 0 chance of passing? Then you wouldn't have to introduce this stupid shit in the first place
CAUTION EVERYONE: I’ve heard RFK Jr’s task is to deregulate food/drug administrations so they can add Xanax to our edible supplies to calm us all down so they can get away with whatever they want to do to us. CAUTION!
The messaging of not wanting consumers to know just what it is consumers are paying for just isn't a good look no matter how Trump sycophants try to spin it. Election interference? LMFAO!! WHAT election, WHOSE, and WHEN is that?
It'll never get out of committee...
But forcing the GOP to vote it down so they can campaign on "The Speaker and his GOP caucus killed this, they don't want you, the consumer, to know what Trump's tariffs are actually costing you" is a pretty baller move.
Love it. Make orange man & his minions in Congress face what they’ve done to their constituents and display Trumps lie about who really pays these tariffs. #IMPEACH47
Should be interesting to see if retailers use the retail price, the cost price, or some made up price that adds a little bit of extra profit while hiding the true costs to the consumers. Retailers were probably hoping to make a little extra and blame the tariffs.
Yeah, I mean little neo Nazi bald Stevie is trying to jail anyone he doesn’t like and musky boy has set himself up for decades of tax payers money , but hey Dems., let’s really get Trump and show people the tax breakdown on that pair of Crocs .
Amazon tried that and got a phone call from the orange asswipe and it stopped. So this doesn’t mean anything.
My question is when is SCOTUS going to make the President pay for not following the Judges rulings? Shouldn’t he either be in jail or forced to follow their rulings?
Thanks for the idea. Amazon. It will probably get shot down by Republicans, but it is Action!!! That’s what we, the people, are asking for. Dems can play the game.
💙 Love this! If he is so proud of his tariffs then he should have no issue with this, right? Oh wait that would show every American, even the red hats, the truth about who really pays them wouldn’t it!
Justice David Souter once warned: “When problems are not addressed… someone will come forward and say, ‘Give me total power.' That is how the Roman Republic fell.”
And the proposed legislation important for its message. There is more than one reason to introduce legislation; sometimes it sends an important message even when it won’t pass. Sometimes the message by the opposition that it won’t pass becomes an important part of the original message
Every Democrat bill that gets introduced is saying to the other side, "Okay, the balls in your court now." Every "no" vote is a talking point for Democrats in the midterms.
It's like molasses in January, but it's what we have.
I've never even shot a gun, but I've been thinking about getting one. The Republicans on my street have enough guns and ammo to equip a small army. I mean hand guns, long guns & AR-15's!!!
Exactly the law needed. State Legislatures should follow and adopt laws for the transparency for consumers (us) to know how much trump tariffs costs to all of us. VOTE GOP out of state legislatures and OUT of Congress.
Bet Raskin's Bill is laced with strong words and will go f'ing nowhere. Very tired of political performance art. Where is the plan to retake the White House and Congress?
The idea is fine, except it smells like government overreach and infringing on a business's operation. And yes, very performative. Stop looking for headlines and start looking for ways to stop the maniac in office.
It would be better if American retailers posted tariff costs on their own. At least some restaurants in California separately post the cost of doing business in the State on their bills. As an aside, rental car companies, hotels and airlines regularly itemize taxes, and don't forget BS spa fees.
Not that difficult to include. Consumers want a breakdown and could be done similarly to the “all in” rates for hotels and airlines. I recently made a purchase and they broke down each tax.
Just so I'm clear, I'm all for the idea. I just think that a bill that requires companies to do that would be ill-received and would be used against dem lawmakers as an example of "big govt controlling your businesses."
Everyone should want this for their constituents. Of course, when the GOP votes against it, the Dems will have solid talking points if there is ever another election in America.
EVERYONE should be doing this! And if tariff inflation ever comes down, it should help to prevent businesses from keeping their prices inflated like during Covid.

It’ll never pass, but it would be nice to see Republicans spew oblique vagaries regarding why such things should not be specified…
be every retailer.
More ketchup on the walls in the Tantrum House.
If it's such a good thing...
He now has to justify his congressional salary.
He won’t even have full support from all of his fellow Democrats on this.
Congress doesn’t even have the authority to enforce this even if the Democrats had the majority.
I’m sure more people would want to divulge where taxes are spent
Local law makers could pass “Truth in wage hikes” laws where businesses prominently display the price increases after minimum wage hikes.
Would those be good ideas?
How many more meaningless mandates are the Democrats going to suggest be passed?
“Requires” in the language says that it would be mandated for employers to do it.
Nothing like a Democrats promoting strict regulations on businesses.
Of course the far left don’t see a problem with that.

Your price: $20.23.
China's NOT paying the tariffs. You do!

But let us not get comfortable. We still have a lot of fighting left ahead of us.

All this talk of tariffs...where's the Executive Order to lower prices like he promised?
Fixing it day one, like he promised?
Tax the poor! Grift the country.

Soooo…👋👋
It's like molasses in January, but it's what we have.
Trump’s tariffs are a hidden tax on working people — and Jamie Raskin just called the bluff. Let the price tags tell the truth.

IT!
1. waste of time, while fun, it will not pass.
Like if you could buy this product it would cost this much? Because we are going to experience empty shelves!
