2/ This week you will read many confused economists and political pundits who won’t understand how the tariffs make economic sense.
That’s because they don’t. They aren’t designed as economic policy. The tariffs are simply a new, super dangerous political tool.

Why? Because they watched how kings and despots used spending and taxes to control their subjects.
Our own revolution was spurred by the King’s use of heavy taxation of the colonies to punish our push for self governance.
The King’s message was simple: stop protesting and I’ll stop taxing.
He is using access to government funds to bully universities, law firms and state and local governments into loyalty pledges.
We're trying to get it back.

The tariffs are Trump’s tool to erode that independence. Now, one by one, every industry or company will need to pledge loyalty to Trump in order to get sanctions relief.
Public shows of support from executives for all his economic policy. Contributions to his political efforts. Promises to police employees’ support for his political opposition.
Nothing is given for free
WHY AREN’T DEMS SHOUTING THIS FROM THE ROOFTOPS??????
Why isn’t this point made any time someone shoves a mic in your faces?
Why is everyone making confused pikachu faces when you absolutely know what he’s doing?
in all: these are criminals, who act like the mafia,
Trump may not understand math, or any other subject whatsoever, but he understands what lines his pockets.
But you should have stopped short of giving your Big Law buddies a pass.
I agree that they should be independent. You are telling us that they are not.
there’s balls on a belle

Or is someone else telling him...

I don’t know how else to interpret the insanity. That it’s not ‘insanity’ but a calculated plan. Putin? This harms more than only US.
Trump may be immune, but no one else is. Why has no one stopped the Muskovites from doing more damage?
Explain why law firms can get manipulated the same way. Because they shouldn’t be receiving federal funds.
Someone or a group who has his ear knows.
The deficit year to year is bigger too.
Now using OUR money to bend the government to destroy people he doesn’t like! Unreal
But Flynn, Bannon and Vought do! As does Leo. All bad actors!!

And lost his colonies.
But heads were retained on this go-round.
That's why King George kept his head, because he was literally a figurehead with no actual power.
In what way does that negate the point we’re making?

Hard to know whether you'd be monarchy or republic, but if it were the latter you'd have devised a better system than inflexibly and literally interpreting documents from the 1700s, pioneering though they were for their time.
More to your point, there’s not a day that dawns where I don’t consider how this enterprise would likely have been better had we just followed the model Australia and Canada used. Revolution can be vastly overrated.

How do you know a politician is lying?
His lips are moving.
George Washington caused a war and some of the colonists didn't want to pay their "fair share".
Washington, did however, want land in the Ohio country in spite of the Proclamation of 1763.
Plus, it’s stimulated some great historical discussion! I’m liking and reposting like a madman!!
My ancestors fought the American Revolution to get rid of kings and wannabe dictators…
Some of us seem to have forgotten that we did that.
So, Looks like imma need to load up the ol’ family musket again. 😕
The Royalists lost, King Charles I was tried for his crimes, leading to his beheading Jan 30th 1649.
Afterwards, from 1649 to 1660, the UK was a Republic.
The Monarchy was restored in 1660.
At his core Trump is the worst sort of bully
This is Tax not Tariff
Trump’s Importation Tax
TIT
Is just a manifestation of the bully
It is bullying
Ask Roberts how it feels to know he may have facilitated the death of America?
From Wikipedia:
"In June 1628, England's Parliament passed the Petition of Right which among other measures, prohibited the use of taxes without its agreement."
Also (maybe) true. Lusting for his deserved spoils as righftul King of America, second of his name, Trump has recently commissioned a new (US made) iron throne for the Oval.
Some images have just now leaked.
The human centipede if GOP grifters will not.
🤔
If Senator Murphy really cared to fight, he'd be calling for Schumer to step down.
JFC. 🙄
How do we get around the Bill that Mike Johnson has proposed to stop this insanity of tariffs?
as long as your ass is covered.

8. Cut Social Security
9. Slash Medicaid
10. Punish Disloyalty
The super complicated process for determining the actual amount of Trumps “reciprocal” tariffs is simply this:
Tariff % = Trade Deficit / GDP
I’m so glad they employed incredibly complicated economic analysis to be fair and balanced.
WHAT A BUNCH OF FUCKING MORONS!!

Trump’s actions, decisions, rhetoric make it blatantly clear that he operates as a Kremlin asset. Whether he’s knowingly complicit or simply useful to Putin, end result is the same: Trump has consistently advanced Russian interests while undermining America’s global standing.
Tragically, it'll be the American everyday man who'll inevitably suffer the most, longterm - victim of their own demise.

It's super easy to manipulate one once you understand what drives them.
