And go to bed late it seems.  

I usually go to bed around 10:30.  But, sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of the night with work crap on my mind.  I need something to get my mind off of that, so I'll scroll through stuff on my phone.  Lately, for some stupid reason, I've been waking up at 4:00am.

f#&%ing Goldman Sachs is coming out and saying that Trump can still do tariffs under sex 122.  

Of course your keyboard autocorrected to that

Slowly, but surely, they are removing all doubt that they are just irresponsible and reckless imbeciles.

I mean Lutnick has a great point about about good laundering and tariff circumvention; but up until this point I think absolutely none of that has been mentioned publicly, and there seems to be no indication that this administration did anything meaningful to investigate or curb it from happening outside of idiotic tariffs.

GOPers….

I thought Trump was going cut waste and reduce the debt? But what has happened so far is cutting needed and useful government services and a proposed (One Big Beautiful) bill that will add $2.4T to the deficit over the next ten years.

So what’s up with the supposed party of personal and fiscal responsibility? How/Why do you continue to support this?

And yeah, I expect at least one here to answer.

Because they support the white straight Christian male at the cost of everyone else.  That’s it at this point.

It seems to be a little deeper than that imo. I’m a white straight Christian male and they’re doing next to nothing that makes me happy. I mean I’ll take the tax break at this point but it’s mostly only needed because everything else they’re doing is going to cost me more.

Now if I was a filthy rich straight white Christian male….then we might be cookin’ with gas.

Yes, the purpose and duration of the tariffs keeps changing.

It’s almost as if 1 or 2 knee jerking crazy idiot mfers shouldn’t have the power to randomly set, start and stop tariffs on a whim.

Tariffs without repealing the income tax make 0 sense. 
 

This is clownish. We should be investing heavily in places like Mexico, Canada, India, & Vietnam to rid ourselves of Chinese goods as fast as we physically can.

Tariffs were NEVER going to replace the in one tax.
