@#16 ... Just unimaginably stupid policy for any American company with a global presence. ..

America First!

@#15

Yeah.

You noticed that also in my comment.

:)

@#13 ... everyone who thinks FDT is good for America are as stupid as they come ...

Had to look FDT up.

Based upon what the search engines returned, methinks you may want to use a different slang acronym.

@#13 ... Stupid people are dangerous. MAGA and everyone who thinks FDT is good for America are as stupid as they come. ...

FDT was new to me, so I went to the search engines.

The search engines returned a result without "ing" after the word ascribed to the first letter.

So that then made that first letter to be a verb.

Which is not how I thought your comment read.

To be more explicit, and trying to stay within the constraints of this site...

What I found...

FDT = F--- Donald Trump

What your comment seems to use ...

FDT = F---ing Donald Trump.

What I think your comment means to say.

See, two very different meanings.

@#13 ... That $200,000,000,000.00 will go to the corporations who imported goods and paid the tariffs. ...

Oh, I'm sure those corporations have kept detailed records of who they passed the tariff costs to, and will be quite eager to be sending checks to cash customers or issuing credits to credit card customers.

@#8 ... Measles kills about a few hundred people a year. ...

Currently.

... You know what's funny? Obesity kills nearly 300,000 of you purple-haired pronoun- nose ring wearing ----- every year.. ...

I do not consider the deaths of Americans to be funny in any shape manner or form.

SCOTUS is 6/3.

@#9 ... That is your money being stolen. ...

All I've heard so far is ~how difficult it would be~ to return the money to the consumers who paid it.

OK, I get it... MAGA hates taxes on the wealthy.

As shown by their passage in Congress of Pres Trump's directive that reduced taxes on the wealthy by trillions.

But did little to reduce taxes on workers.

Quite the contrary, Trump's directive, which MAGA in Congress passed, increased monthly cost of living for workers by reducing/eliminating SNAP benefits and eliminating health care benefits.

@#76 ... maybe respond to yourself or create a chat for your minions. ...

Do try harder.

@#56 ... I'm saying fuck the Somalis because they stole from our government.. ...

"The Somalis" ?

For starters ...

What percentage of the Somalis (most of whom are American citizens) have stolen from our government, and how?

Please provide evidence. Real evidence, and not some MAGA video.

@#70 ... Roger has slipped in his old age. ...

Why go so personal?

I've not seen that at all.

@#2 ... it'll smack into a couple of Starlinks ...

Likely to occur. There are so many StarLink satellites ...

Starlink
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink

... SpaceX began launching Starlink satellites in 2019. As of January 2026, the constellation consists of over 9,422 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO)[10] that communicate with designated ground transceivers. Starlink comprises 65% of all active satellites.[11] Nearly 12,000 satellites are planned, with a possible later extension to 34,400. ...

@#2 ... "Texas A&M's Academic Freedom" ...

Yeah, that seems to be what is under attack here.

Free speech and academic freedom.

@#2 ... They won't. ...

I'm 50/50 at this point.

Good questions were raised during the hearings.

And a skepticism seemed to be present.

But, is the current SCOTUS allowed to rule against Pres Trump?

@#1

So many questions/comments.

I'll start here ...

... "In other words, if the Supreme Court rules against the United States of America on this National Security bonanza, WE'RE SCREWED!" ...

SCOTUS would not rule against the United States of America if they struck down his tariffs.

SCOTUS would rule in favor of the rule of law.

More from the article ...

... "Remember, when America shines brightly, the World shines brightly," Trump said on Truth Social. "In other words, if the Supreme Court rules against the United States of America on this National Security bonanza, WE'RE SCREWED!"

The Trump administration has relied on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, as the legal basis for imposing the tariffs. During November's oral arguments, however, several justices appeared skeptical over whether the law can be used for that purpose.

Chief Justice John Roberts noted the statute has never before been used to justify tariffs, while Justice Neil Gorsuch raised concerns about the scope of executive power if the law were interpreted to allow them.

Trump said a ruling against his administration could require the U.S. to repay tariff revenue totaling hundreds of billions of dollars, with costs potentially reaching into the trillions once foreign governments' and companies' investments are factored in. ...

... The Hubble Space Telescope has long been a cornerstone of our understanding of the universe, unveiling awe-inspiring images and groundbreaking data about galaxies, black holes, and the origins of cosmic structures. However, the clock is ticking on this iconic observatory, as recent studies suggest that Hubble could be on the verge of its final years.

The End of an Era: Hubble's Declining Orbit

Since its launch in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has reshaped our understanding of the cosmos, capturing stunning images of distant galaxies, nebulae, and planets. Its contribution to astronomy cannot be overstated. Yet, all good things must come to an end, and as the years pass, Hubble's aging infrastructure has led to its gradual decline. One of the most pressing concerns for scientists today is the deterioration of the telescope's orbit.

While Hubble was initially launched into low Earth orbit at an altitude of around 360 miles, it has since descended to approximately 326 miles, and it continues to fall.

In a recent update from the Hubble Reentry Tracker, researchers have estimated that Hubble could reenter Earth's atmosphere as soon as 2029, with a worst-case scenario indicating a reentry date as early as 2029.

"The solar flux levels are currently longer in duration and more elevated than previously anticipated, resulting in an earlier reentry forecast for the Hubble Space Telescope if no reboost mission is conducted," says the Hubble Reentry Tracker. ...

@#8 ... report, completed by the Police Executive Research Forum, was a sensitive internal document that U.S. Customs and Border Protection had refused to release publicly. ...

Does your current trolling alias have a link to the full copy of the report?

As the summary indicates of the cited article...

... The Los Angeles Times obtained an internal review of US Border Patrol's use-of-force policies, which US Customs and Border Protection has refused to release publicly (members of Congress have seen a summary). ...

Wait, what, even Congress has not been allowed by US Customs and Border Patrol to see the full document?

Is it that damning?

What is US Customs and Border Patrol hiding?

I remember back in the day, when I was a child, going outside and having my eyes start to burn from the air. I also remember looking that the horizon and seeing that the sky near the horizon was brown. We used to cal that the ring around the horizon.

That seems to be where Pres Trump wants to bring the United States.

@#5 ... MAGA likes measles, and every other communicable disease as far as I can tell. ...

I wish I could disagree.

But I cannot.

So then, the question becomes, why does MAGA seem to want Americans to be sick and possibly die?

... New High of 45% in U.S. Identify as Political Independents ...

I was a registered Republican until the early 2000's when the misogyny of the Republican-affiliated Tea Party came to the fore.

At that point, I left the GOP, and became unaffiliated.

Here in CT there is an Independent Party that just seems to be Republicans who do not want to be called Republicans. If you are not registered as a member of a party, you are unaffiliated.

Pres Trump does not seem to care about Americans.
