Not everything on Twitter is true… Also, if Trump never used an EO to raise those tariffs in the first place, none of those businesses would have gotten those refunds and that money would have stayed in the US consumers’ pockets. Same goes for the $5000 “dividends.” It’s unnecessary redistribution of wealth. |

And now Trump is claiming he won't need to go to Congress to give away 1.3 Trillion dollars in $5,000 Trump Checks to every American Adult.  Bigger_Hammer

I'm just a weak people whose support he's already said he doesn't want. If he gets a Republican Congress who protects him, it won't be because I gave the Republican in my district the same $200 that I did in 2024 and then voted for him. If there are Republicans who act to remove him, my congressman won't be one of them. He's retired police command staff, which is a group I've never really credited with much moral courage. So, since there is nothing within the law that I can do to rein in your Orange Daddy, I will pop some popcorn and just watch shit burn. And maybe get a little cold comfort from knowing that you guys are not escaping the shit rain that you brought down on all of us when you put your orange post turtle on top of the fence post. |

That anyone continues to be shocked and outraged by any of this behavior is simply stunning at this point. If every time somebody on the internet started a thread bashing any politician did 10 push-ups instead, or put $10 into their 401K instead, America would be a much better place. I'm not seeing anyone that's shocked and outraged here. Calling Trump a bumbling idiot and a dumbass that is going to cost Republicans power for decades is not "shock and outrage" You seem to be projecting is all. |

Get Active or Get Disarmed! That means get involved in helping good candidates in primary and general election. That is in addition to being politically active once they are elected.

No. “Massie types” ie mechanical engineers who have designed and actually built things in this country. People like me. Here’s the reality: if a few “grandstanders” were blocking tariff legislation it would have been in the OBBB; it’s more likely that the reality is that a lot of if not a majority of Republicans in congress wouldn’t have passed sweeping tariffs of that level, because they have a modicum of sense. |

Originally Posted By NN300BLK: Agree on the diesel, but the Iran conflict is such a mess I don’t have a strong opinion on how the US should proceed. We civilians don’t know what’s really going on there at this point. What's going on there is US positioning to kneecap China's oil supply. Hitting Iran is about gaining geopolitical & economic advantage, specifically with respect to China. But it's not just that alone. US petrodollar status was the lynchpin that floated USD value despite perpetually increasing debt spending since its inception, & losing that status was a swift kick in the nads that had America quietly laying down & grabbing itself while holding its breath & trying to pretend that it didn't hurt. Except that it did. A lot. And we're feeling it now. In many respects, this is a desperation move by the US government, because the trending debt will inevitably crush the US economy. Austerity measures won't be tolerated, or even work at this point. We're past the tipping point of scaling back spending to fend it off; only a hat-trick can save us now. Enter the US strategy to seize control oil trade supply routes around the world. China knows this & is rapidly building up its navy accordingly. Obviously, Iran & the SoH is just one piece of the US strategic puzzle. And since China is attempting to become the big kid on world wide block, this move serves to stop that. If it can succeed. We may think times are interesting now, but we're just living in the warmup. Ironically, American government+corporate collusion built China. Literally, China couldn't have gotten to where it is today without US businesses handing them the means to monopolize manufacturing supply lines to the West along with direct & indirect IP knowledge to ascend the technology ladder. All while our government reps took the sweet lobby cash & looked the other way, because to hell with economic, industrial, & national security. China isn't making hypersonic missiles & 5th-gen fighters by accident. They damn well know how to do what they're doing, thanks to America, & I respect their drive & tenacity. They knew what they needed to do & played a deliberate long-game while the US obsessed with pumping quarterlies. Now here we are. |

That isn't 100% "Trump's fault" because the do nothing Republican Controlled Congress has done nothing to help or keep Trump in check like they are supposed to. But Republican leaders do follow Trump's lead. They see how Trump destroyed Massie for not bending the knee and now they refuse to say anything bad about Trump. That makes the Republican Congress nothing more than Trump's puppets. People see that and know Republicans will continue to do what Trump tells them, making this mid-term 100% about Trump because Congress is weak/scared of Trump. |

Most are more than happy with his foreign policy direction. |

How much in taxes do I have to pay to Amazon and Walmart and beef and whatever else,(in tariffs) in fees, that they give to trump, so that he can give republicans $5,000.00? How much of that comes out of my own personal wallet? How much do Americans have to pay for this so that he can collect $21T? Because we pay the tariffs. |

When it became clear what money was behind the trump win and when he started picking his cabinet I knew we were in trouble and made the prediction that foreign policy would derail and destroy the Trump presidency. Unfortunately, looks like I'll be proved right. Everything shows the Democrat has been gaining momentum and the race is either tied or the Democrat is in the lead. That isn't 100% "Trump's fault" because the do nothing Republican Controlled Congress has done nothing to help or keep Trump in check like they are supposed to. But Republican leaders do follow Trump's lead. They see how Trump destroyed Massie for not bending the knee and now they refuse to say anything bad about Trump. That makes the Republican Congress nothing more than Trump's puppets. People see that and know Republicans will continue to do what Trump tells them, making this mid-term 100% about Trump because Congress is weak/scared of Trump. Well if things go as badly as I think they will, trumps power over the party may be greatly diminished after the midterms, not that it would matter given how bad they suck in general. Most are more than happy with his foreign policy direction. Trump has started saying "The people hate Congress but they still love me because I win." He's already denying any accountability or relationship with the results of the mid-terms. |
Get Active or Get Disarmed! That means get involved in helping good candidates in primary and general election. That is in addition to being politically active once they are elected.

No, they happened because Trump does whatever the hell he wants. It's called separation of powers for a reason. The Executive Branch can't just do whatever they want because the branch of government those powers belong to won't do it (in this case the Legislative Branch). How did those tariffs via EO work out btw? Let me guess, it's the courts fault (Judicial Branch) for enforcing the law. |

We should all be thankful that politicians vote against Trumps tariffs that Americans pay. Higher prices is not a good thing. |

Bigger_Hammer The conversation is about tariffs via EO, which happened because democrats and the principaled tards voted against tariffs. Try to keep up or go back to the kids table. The idiotic Executive Orders were clearly exceeding the authority & were going to be kicked to the curb by the courts including the heavily Conservative Supreme Court. All the tariff money had to be refunded. Huge confusion & chaos in international trade affecting American businesses and supply chains. If Trump really is the "Master of Art of the Deal" (which BTW was Ghost Written for him) then shouldn't Trump as the President & leader of the nation have conferenced with his Republicans (and Conservative Democrats like Fetterman as necessary) to implement solid & legal tariffs? Instead Trump trumpeted his "Liberation Day" fantasy but it was a Trade War castle built on a foundation of sand, because it was always known that Trump could not use "National Emergency Tariff" laws as his personal trade war cudgel. And then of course Trump bitched at & blamed "others" including the heavily Conservative SCOTUS when it all crumbled - as everyone with any intelligence always knew would happen. The end result of Trump's stupidity was Chaos, Confusion & Collateral damage to our economy. Did I explain that EO & Tariff at a level you could follow or should I try to find some smaller & simpler words for you? Bigger_Hammer

Fuel prices are definitely going upward since (A) the Trans-Saudi pipeline pumping all the way across Saudi Arabia to the Red Sea was successfully attacked - stopping that flow. 🔥 Plus (B) the Houthis took the coastline so they now have effective control of that choke point. Neither of which are positives toward lowering fuel prices for Joe & Jane Average American. Bigger_Hammer

I'm sorry but the Babylon bee f***** up this one. I don't know what they were thinking but they posted news and call it satire. Do better. |

Jesus Christ, what a fucking retard. Doge checks? Nope. Tariff checks? Nope. ACA checks? Nope. $5K election checks? HELL YES THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN MAGA!  Even without this latest check, he's still promised me like 8 grand. And I'd still rather have access to cheaper fuel and groceries (beef, specifically) FFS. |

I Said it back in 2015/2016, if the Republican party is foolish enough to vote for him in the primaries, then we deserve what we get. The vast majority of this site did exactly that. Everything that followed has been easily predictable - though I'll admit it's probably gone better than I expected. Anyone who couldn't see this coming from Trump back when he started agitating in '08 was a moron. |

The inflation will cost you far more than $5k over the next few years, just like those COVID checks ran up the cost of everything. Inflation yes, but also thats another trillion plus that gets put on the debt. 20% of all federal taxes are just for interest on the debt immediately. That will add an extra 1.2 T making ourr deficit over 3 trillion for one year. Interest is rising too. That debt is major and eating hard into our budget now. Its went from 10% of federal taxes collected to 20% in 5 years. And its growing fast. We can cover by raising taxes, cut spending(lol), grow faster. Trump is gambling that AI revenue will out run it.
