Trump/GOP bullshit

[Sudden Sam]

We’re all saying the same shit to each other. It was Trump this and that…then Biden…and now it’s Trump again. The details change, but the griping and indignation and anger is repetitious as hell. They’re all POSs. We just want a safe place to live, our kids to be happy, and a few toys to keep us entertained. It’s so fucking tiring.



Note: fuck you all. King of page 151.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal trade court on Wednesday blocked President Donald Trump from imposing
sweeping tariffs on imports under an emergency-powers law.

The ruling from a three-judge panel at the New York-based Court of International Trade came after several
lawsuits arguing Trump has exceeded his authority, left U.S. trade policy dependent on his whims
and unleashed economic chaos.

“The Worldwide and Retaliatory Tariff Orders exceed any authority granted to the President by IEEPA to
regulate importation by means of tariffs,” the court wrote, referring to the 1977 International Emergency
Economic Powers Act.

The White House did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment. The Trump administration
is expected to appeal.

At least seven lawsuits are challenging the levies, the centerpiece of Trump’s trade policy.

Tariffs must typically be approved by Congress, but Trump says he has the power to act...

Solid.

Once a criminal... always a criminal.

Trump's own appointed Judge told him to go fuck himself.


Too funny.

[Softball Bat]

Uhh, no.

Lawrence O'Donnell?

Really???

Diaper King has been diddly dickin' around with his tariff nonsense (on/off, increase/decrease, blah blah blah) for almost two months, keeping global trade in semi-limbo.

Now a unanimous ruling (3 judges) has come down saying that Dumpy never had authority to start down this path to begin with.

lol





If the intent was to address trade imbalances, there is any number of things that could be done to work on that.

Instead, this president has declared an *emergency*.
Yes, an "emergency" for something which has been routinely going on, with full U.S. consent and enjoyment, for decades.

Lump was completely messed up to begin with, and he has only gotten more messed up with each passing day since "liberation day."

Lawfare takes on many shapes & forms.

Marxists can't win elections with their insane policies so they have to negate the will of the people via activist judges.

Some of the name calling of Trump is hilarious after serving up the Biden handler regime for 4 years.

Unless we start seeing democRats paying for their crimes I will concede the swamp is undrainable.

One of the judges was a Dump appointee, and one was a Reagan appointee.

[The Seer]

If even democrats and some mediots are admitting Biden was not functional during his presidency, I see all those pardons of his being evaluated via autopen operated by his handlers...and after that maybe some of the leftist activist judges trying to cripple Trump's goal of fixing the Handlers mess.

All this corruption that is anti-USA needs to be rooted out and dumped into the sewer of history.

[Softball Bat]

The Republicans have the Presidency, the House, the Senate, and a majority on the Supreme Court, and yet we hear all this whining about what happened under Bidet.

You own Washington.
Get busy doing great things for the American people.

2017 - Trump's 1st term:

Trump sued nearly three times more than predecessors: report

In his first three months in office, President Trump has been sued in federal court 134 times – nearly three times more than his three most recent predecessors combined, according to a tally of lawsuits by the Boston Globe.

2025 Trump's 2nd term:

220 lawsuits in 100 days: Trump administration faces unprecedented legal blitz

The administration has been sued over nearly every element of Trump's agenda.
Since Donald Trump took office 100 days ago, the president and his administration have faced an average of more than two lawsuits per day, challenging nearly every element of his agenda.

The breakneck pace of the president's policies has been matched in nearly equal force by a flood of litigation -- at least 220 lawsuits in courts across the country -- challenging more than two dozen executive orders, the firing of twenty high-ranking government officials, and dozens of other executive actions.

While the Trump administration has had some victories in the courts, federal judges have blocked key parts of Trump's agenda ranging from parts of his immigration policy and military guidelines to his effort to roll back diversity and equity initiatives.

So, what's your point?

He's issued a flood of blatantly illegal EOs. Many times more than any predecessor. In spite of what you may think, he's not allowed to do anything he wants just because he wants to. Why wouldn't there be lawsuits?

Just a coincidence that almost all of the "judges" are neo marxist judges from blue districts.
Just a coincidence Trump is the ONLY President in US history to have that volume of lawfare rulings.
Just a coincidence all the lawfare is going AGAINST what he was elected to do.
Just a coincidence most of the lawsuits are to UNDO the ILLEGAL acts of the prior regime.

IF the swampy RINO's can unhitch their self serving interests, ala the lost dem party, and start caring for preserving the country (in it's current form and as we've come to know it in our lifetimes), maybe it can be saved.

Regardless, Trump is slowing the bleed out and we'll see where this ends.

And you naive simpleton lefties will reap the rewards despite your passion for living in Cuckville.

History made: 50% say America is on the ‘right track’

People are more satisfied with the direction of the country than at any point in recent history, the latest feather in President Donald Trump‘s hat.

On the edge of majority support for weeks, the latest Rasmussen Reports “right track/wrong track” average shared with Secrets has hit 50% on Tuesday and shows no sign of pulling back.

And Rasmussen pollster Mark Mitchell told Secrets, “Never thought I would see it. I don’t think the Republican Party understands the gravity of the gift which Trump has given them. Unprecedented presidency.”

He said on X, “Holy crap – it happened! For the first time in our polling history A MAJORITY says the country is on the right track. Don’t F it up, Republicans.”

Overall, 50% believe the country is on the right track while 45% don’t. Republicans overwhelmingly agree that things are good, at 75%, while most Democrats don’t, at 65%, demonstrating the stark division in the country over politics and Trump.

The story showed, with new voting data, how the GOP has become America’s party while the Democrats have been marginalized and transformed into a group of elites.

[Softball Bat]

I am, and always have been, in favor of a balanced budget.

I am not in favor of that fully insane tariff chart Dumpy is holding up in the video thumbnail.

As for Lump's tariff "strategy" over the past couple of months, he would have been better off taping random tariff numbers and countries to a dartboard, blindfolding himself, and then lobbing darts at the board to see how it comes out.

There was no emergency to begin with, and the entire premise behind his unilateral move to launch the nation into a trade war with the world is absurd.

I have exactly ZERO positive to say about this ridiculous episode in U.S. history.

[FiatLux]

TACO is a mess.

A failure with every business he's ever started.

He needed someone to hire him as a TV game show host to ever make any legitimate money

Of course he's going to fuck up the economy.

Maybe TACO thinks he can just file bankruptcy again.


Too funny.

Rather than sharp increases in tariffs, addressing the federal budget would have a greater impact on the trade deficit.

The Federal Government does not run a trade deficit. The trade deficit and the budget deficit are two completely different things.

The tariffs will temporarily remain in place.

Trump’s nemesis, the US trade deficit, hit record high in 2024


The U.S. goods trade deficit increased in 2024 to a record $1.2 trillion, putting a target on countries around the world as President Donald Trump considers new tariffs.

The Commerce Department report also showed the United States ran record bilateral trade deficits with Mexico, Vietnam, India, Taiwan, South Korea and the 27-nation European Union.

The EU data included record high trade deficits with two members, Germany and Ireland, that Trump advisers complain benefit unfairly from the EU’s value-added tax system.

The annual report takes on increased significance this year because of Trump’s conviction that the deficit shows the U.S. is being treated unfairly in trade and his eagerness to use tariffs for a variety of purposes, including to try to rebalance trade with other countries.

Oh...and,

Federal refers to a system of government where power is divided between a central authority and individual states or regions. It can also relate specifically to the central government of a federation, such as the United States government.

Agree. The country was much better off having a puppet wander around aimlessly and mumbling incoherently while the US got fucked by it's trade partners RATHER than deploy various tactics to end getting screwed. Let's see if he takes his ball and goes home or there is some kind of compromise that evens out the imbalances to some extent...

Funny how in Cuckville you don't mind getting fucked for years but if it isn't fixed in a month or two of trying you become hysterical.

You’ve not added or proven anything here. The trade deficit is not a function of the federal government. It’s how much we as a country buy from other countries vs how much we sell. The federal government doesn’t “sell” anything except, in the case of your Dear Leader, a whole lot of bullshit.

So, no, dumbfuck was not a projection but prolly an understatement.

Funny how in Cuckville you don't mind getting fucked for years but if it isn't fixed in a month or two of trying you become hysterical.

Over the years I have put up literally dozens of posts describing my disgust with U.S. economic policy, and specifically, my disgust with the fact that we routinely carry on with massive deficit spending.

I am a conservative. One of the most conservative T1B members.


If you were able to *snap* out of your cult, you would see that the round Cheeto is not serious about getting the U.S. fiscal house in order.

If Dumpy were serious, we would not see him pursuing this massive deficit spending bill that he is pursuing.
And we would not see him pursuing an utterly chaotic trade war with the world.

If Cheeto were serious, we would see...

1. A spending bill that reflects an earnest intent on getting out of control deficits under control.

2. An approach to trade that is ORGANIZED, WELL THOUGHT OUT, and WELL ARTICULATED to the American people, and to the world.

Cheeto is not a serious person.
He is a clown.

And what you think this man is trying to accomplish is not what he is really trying to accomplish.

He is a miserable, feeble, nut-lacking puppet boy who dances in accordance with the one who is yanking his strings.

Total freak show.

You don't think Trump wouldn't cut spending bigly if he could get it past the swamp? Look at the activist neo marxist judges that thwart every attempt he makes at cost cutting (and everything else that needs fixing). Pols on both sides of aisle getting kickbacks from foreign Govts and billionaires getting products sold there...at the expense of the budget.

His administration is being hamstrung via lawfare on everything he ran on...again the will of the people thwarted by a few unelected neo marxists.

If he had the level of resistance that ANY prior President had with limited litigation frenzy, a lot COULD & WOULD be done. You're anger needs redirection.
