So, after tarrifs were declared an illegal tax and the money now needing to be refunded, I guess they’ll just give it to the businesses who will have a nice boon in revenue, won’t reduce the prices, and we all can just eat shit?
People to Trump…“make it ten thousand.”.
Best I can do is have you eat shit for which you should be grateful.
-Republicans led by the tRump administration, probably
Hmmm a promise of $2,000 checks, where have I heard that before…
Bush handed them out and I used my $1500 to help fund Colombian narco trafficking
But can we just UBI instead?
We do UBI, but only for the rich donors.
He has and had no intention of issuing “tariff checks”, any more than he would “DOGE dividends”. It’s bullshit he came up with to try to pressure the courts into not invalidating his tariffs, or to rile up the gullible and use them to threaten judges after they do so.
It was obviously Trump’s idea to begin with, and the GOP haaaates the idea of giving away even twenty cents to a starving orphan so they have been grinding their teeth on this idea for a while now.
Trump is not republican. He’s not anything. He’s a colossal, spiteful, angry, narcissistic old man who just wants people to love him. He’s been very consistent that way. He would break whatever rules and regulations there and do whatever he’s told will help to get that outcome of being loved by people, it just so happens that his hatefulness aligned better with the republicans this round.
In some alternate timeline, Trump is our greatest president ever as he became a useful tool for an upstanding, socialist-majority congress and senate who use his willingness to trample tradition and regulation to pass sweeping reforms of our entire country’s oppressive financial systems. Just doing whatever he’s told so people can cheer his name.
He may not be a Republican in ideology but his actions absolutely align with Republican policies. That’s why they keep him as their puppet figurehead.
Maybe he can sell some of his assets then. We used to get a 10k tax return every year but not since his stupid ass started messing everything up.
Or we can sell off the
bribesgifts thay he’s been getting.
MTG announced that she’s retiring from Congress.
My guess is that she sees the shitstorm coming and wants to be able to run as an “outsider” in 2028.
She’s “retiring” 3 days after her pension kicks in.
The more I think about it, the more it looks like she’s a really smart politician who is good at playing dumb. She made herself a household name with the ‘Jewish space lasers’ and now she’s ducking out before the AI bubble bursts. She’ll write a book, go on tour, and be rested and ready in 2028.
Historical note. After Nixon lost in 1960, he tried to run for the senate. After he lost that race everyone wrote him off. Except Nixon was smart. He went out and busted his hump helping every GOP candidate he could find. By the time 1968 rolled around he had a giant following in the Party. I expect she’ll be doing something similar.
MTG announced that she’s retiring from Congress.
Good riddance. Hopefully now I’ll be less confused when reading news about Magic: The Gathering
Took me a second.
There’s a very real chance she believed all the shit she said about “the far left” being just as bad, until she pissed off the far right
Think of how they bitch and moan about peaceful protestors, and then the whiplash of pissing off the right and getting legitimate death threats.
She’s still a piece of shit, but that’s a hell of a wake up call.
Another classic case of Republican fuck everyone until it happens to me!!!
The Republican mascot should be a stick figure pulling up a ladder.
Pretty much. Suck up as much wealth as possible.
Does this political party have ANY idea what it’s doing anymore?
Yes. It’s funneling more money from the working poor up to the party’s donors. Seems to be working as intended.
That was always how it was going to go down.
