The emergency that Trump declared that gave him the authority to implement these tariffs can be rescinded by congress if only they hadn't ceded their authority to do so . That's right, republicans gave away congress's authority to put Trump in check. Why would they do that? It's obvious that they want to trash the US economy just as much as Trump does. That's is probably why they are not condemning Trump for chaos that he is causing.

People can't run their businesses and/or plan their lives based on how Trump feels at any particular moment! Tariffs on, Tariffs off, 25%, no 10%, no 250%. Who the f..k knows what to do? Republicans know better but rather than tell the emperor he has no clothes, they would prefer to sit on their thumbs!

To Fight Against Trump, You Have to Fight More Than Trump

The article is nothing more than click-bait. However, the premise of the article is sound i.e. Trump isn't the only target; neither is Musk. The target is the ENTIRE Republican establishment. All of Trump's enablers that protest LOUDLY but in private need to be attacked and exposed for the cowards that they are. While a response can be coordinated at the national level, the assaults must come from the state and district level. Not only must every democratic candidate, federal/state/muni must be adept at talking about local issues, they must be adept at discussing how Trump's policies adversely affect those issues and that their opposition candidate sits quietly by and lets Trump and national republicans torch their way of life.

GOP Campaign Chair: Voters Will 'Reward Us' for DOGE Cuts

Good luck with that!

All of those welfare queens that didn't realize that they were queens will be pissed when Musk/Trump/Republicans start taking their handouts away. Furthermore, they're going to be even more pissed to realize that they were/are/soon will be welfare queens.

Thanks for the info. I learned a lot.

Shouldn't the muscle mass advantage disappear over time as the amount of male hormones decrease and female hormones increase? And, since muscle weighs more than fat, shouldn't the weight advantage also disappear with time?

There should be no problem with trans people participating in any sport as long as the transition is complete AND their hormone levels are within the "normal" range for their new gender.

Cod Liver Oil Embraced Amid Texas Measles Outbreak

Anti-science has a way of making you look like a fool! Let's see how high the death and suffering count rises before saner heads prevail. Somebody start a death and suffering counter!

All of this opposition from Republicans aren't going to do them much good if their constituents don't know about it. They need to be loud and public so that their constituents know that their "champion" is fighting for them.

How are businesses supposed to plan with these on and off tariffs? Trump is trying to run the country like he ran his small business where only a few hundred people may be impacted by his mood swings. Now there are tens, maybe even hundreds of millions of people impacted. He wants to set the tone of how the country is run and will accept credit if something good happens and casts blame to someone else if something bad happens.

This is a good move by France because the only thing Russia has going for it militarily is nukes. Russia has to know that they aren't the only "crazy" people in Europe. Actually, while it was necessary to publicly state France's position, anyone with half a brain knew that this was likely to be France's position.

Russia has its hands full just fighting Ukraine. Therefore, I have no doubt that Russia would be defeated by NATO (even without the aid of the US) using non nukes but the price paid by all participants would be DEVASTATING. The primary question that the European NATO fighters would face would be: just how far do we prosecute the war? They would have to take it just to the point of posing an existential threat to the survival of Russia because that is when the nukes start flying.

It's time for them to be loud but (a) there isn't much they can do and (b) they need to let America get what it voted for while saying "We told you so."

Dems need to be loud but in the right way. Bad mouthing Trump/Musk is not enough. They must expose all of the pain and suffering that is taking place. Put faces to the pain. Identify people that regret their votes and would not vote for Trump again.

Dems also need to attack republicans for sitting idly by while the sh.. hits the fan. There can be NO friendships with republicans that only voice their disapproval in private. To much is at stake.

It would appear Trump is determined to show how much he believes he's above the law--any law, regardless of it's provenance.

You don't know where your limits are until you test them.

The Trump Administration Is Going After Our Elections Too

This is the PRIMARY objective. The rest is just a smoke screen to disguise his real intent.

The US was "subsidizing" Europes social programs by taking up their slack on military spending.

That the US is subsidizing a country is not news. One of the biggest receivers of US tax payer money is Israel. Do you think Israelis would be living the lifestyle they live without US tax payer money? In fact, without US tax payer money buttressing their military, they may have already made a deal with the Palestinians! Where's the outrage at Israel receiving foreign aid? These same people that are ok with Israel receiving subsidizes are mortified at the though of poor kids receiving a subsidy (aka Pell grants) to go to college.

The US subsidizes anything and everything that it thinks will advance its interests. Those subsidies purchase a seat at the table. Foreign trade is one way that seat is purchased. We allow countries to impose tariffs on our products but don't impose tariffs on theirs. Why? Because it allows those countries to grow their economies and become stronger. They become dependent on the US and want to curry favor with us. They also serve as a bulwark against aggression by our enemies.

Trump's popularity suggests that buttressing our allies' economies at the expense of US workers has gone to far. However, the way Trump is going about it suggests that he is leveraging the frustration of American workers for a more nefarious purpose.

The fact that Trump/Musk have, in effect, shut down USAID gives lie to the Trump/Musk/Vance position that they are trying to save lives. Shutting down USAID will cost more lives than lost in the Ukraine/Russia war. Maybe it's the loss of white/male lives that they care most about because it's certainly not the lives of poor POC; especially children.

My strong suspicion is that Trump is compromised; that he is a Russian asset. It is the ONLY thing that makes sense!

U.S. to Sell $5 Million Green Cards

IOW it's okay to buy your way in but not come through the back door? I wonder how the MAGA faithful feel about that? I suspect that the MAGA faithful won't be very happy because the people that they would be most happy with are Europeans and they aren't likely to apply while Trump is POTUS. I suspect there will be a lot of POC applying for this "gold card" i.e. Asians, Indians, Arabs, Hispanics, etc. There will probably be some Russians trying to escape the tyranny of Putin. But, they need to keep in mind that Putin will find them wherever they try to flee. So will the Chinese.

I think a new age of Civil Unrest is coming.

That's part of the plan. Then he can declare martial law and adjourn congress.

With the new GOLD card offering a path to citizenship, I guess republicans are trying to recruit more voters and have them pay for the privilege.

Poor @$$ MAGAts are going to be even lower on the totem pole.

Well when you hire bribery barbie to be the AG instead of a qualified AG this is what you get.

It's worst than that. Barbie is going to be saddled with the B and C teams because the A team has either been fired or has resigned.

They Worked to Prevent Death -- Trump Admin Fired Them

That helps expose Trump's concern about all of the soldiers being killed in the Ukraine/Russian war for the lie that it is. If Trump was so concerned about suffering, death and dying, why isn't he concerned about the workers that help prevent suffering, death and dying? Why is he denying support for USAID and other foreign aid programs that help prevent suffering, death and dying?

Trump constantly reveals himself to be a lying POS!!!

The dems, especially those in the senate, like to claim that they're doing all that they can to stop Trump/Musk. They are putting on a show but that's all their actions amount to. So far, only one dem, Brian Schatz, has said that he will pull a Tuberville and hold up some of Trump's State Department nominees. Trump has recently decapitated the military leadership of the Pentagon and will have to nominate replacements. More democrat(s) need to step up and pull a Tuberville and prevent those nominations from moving forward.

They'll take out their anger and frustrations on their elected members of Congress

As well they should. As Trump/Musk trash the place, the politicians that are supposed to represent the people sit idly by while it happens. They might complain in private but their constituents don't know that. Furthermore, until and unless they go public, Trump doesn't give a s...
