One thing about today's tariff shitshow is that congress could undo all this nonsense tonight and the damage would still be huge, because these actions have decisively signaled that the US is an unreliable international trading partner—and this impacts political and economic strategy worldwide.

Yup the big take away is destruction of trust worldwide. We know who's celebrating tonight.
will they ever face consequences for their crimes?
This is accelerationism. The system has been pushed and broken and chaos is now the norm.
The abdication of that responsibility by Speaker Johnson is as damning a statement about our current federal system as what’s going on with the Executive. He could stop all this tomorrow.
President Musk and his DOGE Reich certainly have not improved this perception.
1 - impeach & remove drump
2 - repeal all of these tariffs
3 - restore calm in sensibility to the world economy
4 - imprison drump for treasonous acts against the American people!!
We’ve had 120yr trading relationship with 🇺🇸
Our politicians are all stating that our relationship with the USA has irrevocably changed and we must move on, find new trade partners.
Canadians on the whole agree with this view.
Voting in Trump twice shows your country is unreliable
I’m going to get a lobotomy when he dies to purge my brain of my Dumb Donald-speaking vocabulary.
No, thanks. We've seen what you're capable of now.
Can't undo this. It's done. Countries can't shift their national policies based on the whims of their neighbour.
We're finding new supply sources and new markets. It's done.
The US has soiled their reputation on the back of a real estate con narcissist
Now if we can only convince our feckless leaders to begin the process for admission into the EU! After all, we share a land border with Denmark on Hans Island now!
It's gone.
But you know what I meant.
Between using signal for ops and coms.
I bet interpol is horrified. Not to mention most of the world thinks we have lost our minds.

My question is besides obviously standing up to these atrocities as a human or citizen. Online and locally both.
How do we cultivate safety and realistic goals and collectively band together.
US run orgs seem to be facing a reckoning with ignorance and malice. It may be prudent to explore international options for global support.
What’s your thoughts?
If there's a massive leadership change, will other countries say "phew, the nut-jobs are gone", or are we just inherently unstable because they may come back at anytime?
But then I guess what *is* the path to redemption? I'd love to see all but maybe two or three Democrats primaried, but if the sentiment is that the American people themselves are untrustworthy, then we're pretty much hosed.
Probably rolling in the aisles laughing their heads off enjoying their own savings on weapons bc we are well and truly fucking ourselves. All they have to do is walk in the front door.
Dumb Donald is a loser!
You are a pariah state now. As you should be.
and only the Congress has the constitutional right to set tariffs
Trump's FAKE IT 'TIL WE MAKE IT routine is ILLEGAL
Sooner or later SCOTUS is going to have to take this up
Where are the lines that slice the power pie in this constitutional government?
and
Are they willing to give up theirs
The US has multiple mechanisms (eg. Impeachment, 25th, courts) that could stop this, and they keep letting him shatter them.

Everyone knows this is all because of Trump
But they're pathetic cowards.
US = unreliable ally, unreliable trading partner.
Not military, education, science. I'm sure our arts are going to start sucking soon too. What's the long term goal here, to simply be a huge goods manufacturer? Which we will fail at because nobody will buy our stuff?
The amount of damage done in these last two months is just so impossible to comprehend. The world order shifted over a clown.
I was thinking our military industrial complex. No matter what you thought of it, it’s hard to imagine it surviving this without foreign sales.
Unless he plans on starting so many wars we need them all.
I was intrigued enough to watch until they talked about this group of maybe 5 fat white guys unpacking more than FORTY guns. And they showed at least one fully automatic AK 15? 47?
WHERES ALL THE SAVED MONEY GOING THEN? Are we just randomly saving money, or are we taking the “waste” to strengthen other areas?!?
SMH…
“Stop trying to bring the war in under budget, Frank..”
The fact a single individual can unilaterally dictate government policy by definition makes the US unreliable. The problem for the rest of us isn't just Trump, it's that your system is so unreliable we can't trust you to keep your word for more than 4yrs at a time
(Though I wouldn't quite rule it out 100% either)
We are now That Cousin.
(Day 73. Sigh.)
This is the consequence of Lysenko's campaign to suppress research he disagreed with. 85 years later, the stain persists.

As a cautionary note, Lysenko not only discredited Soviet biological sciences, he effectively killed millions through famine.

Stand up, speak out.
United we succeed!
Divided is what trump/musk/vance/putin want so they can destroy all that we love and veterans fought for in past wars.
