A lot of importers have already sold off their refund rights… If they did this without an act of Congress, they’d probably end up paying twice

Also, the tarrifs were projected to bring in 3 trillion over a decade. It’s been like 6 months… This feels suspect

First one, then the other. I don’t know what order would be funnier though

I refuse to believe it was not both of them until I see evidence of something even more damaging

We can that a demagogue, populist has lost most of the negative connotations after decades where neither of our two parties would even barely even bother to pretend they were on the side of the people

He’s a worker, of course he’s beholden to capitol.

But there’s a difference between a normal fight and something like this. There’s dignity as an athlete competing in a sports league with problems, this would be different

It’s probably something like the loan thing, but wackier

Financial people lose the plot regularly, but they get real creative when it comes to the super wealthy. Time and time again, they’ll take on all the risk for basically reward, all just to chase a whale

I do think Gabe has good intentions at least… But… Well… I’ve never played resident evil, but I’ve read plenty of cautionary sci-fi tales

Honestly, most people suck at giving gifts. Most people struggle to put themselves in someone else’s shoes

Your SO probably put real thought into the gift, and paid attention to you to come up with a good idea. And most people think new is better (although I’m with you). They think it’s sour grapes or something when you tell them how you enjoy the fact something has been with you for all this time, and how you’ve carefully repaired it over the years

So all in all, that’s a halfway well thought out gift. More effort than most people put into them, anyways. They were probably really excited and proud of themselves

I don’t know what to do with that information… Personally I’d probably accept the gift and leave it in the closet as a backup. I’m not sure if that’s better or not, but it would spread the experience out

Alternatively, it’s a luxury yacht for small teams of passionate scientists to keep them happy and comfortable for long periods, and also a floating town for Gabe to live in

Also, if you want to criticize it there’s one implication that worries me… Part of the concept is that this yacht will be a floating lab that can pick up and move to avoid regulations

He’s tried every other argument, now he’s trying reverse psychology again

It’s because he likes the spotlight. He’s said a ton of very sus things to reporters over the years just to be the Epstein whisperer

But what if it was both?

And he became the main character of global politics for a decade

Now imagine if he rose to fame by promising to tax billionaires instead of from racism?

Do you think what we need is a competent administrator? Fuck no, what we need a symbol to rally behind. Look at Trump… He doesn’t do shit

We need a populist figure that will attract progressives who do know how politics work, and not the Democratic party picks, who are consultant brained cowards who resist change

Reagan was bad because he was the face of a bad movement. Same with Trump. It doesn’t matter that they were on TV first, they had the same evil cabal behind them

At the end of the day, bad things are bad and good things are good. You’re misdiagnosising the problem

Damn…

Americans REALLY need to stop suggesting that everyone sympathetic and admirable run for public office.

You don’t seem to understand how desperately we need someone sympathetic and admirable to unfuck things

It’s probably not Eilish or Steward, but if sure as hell isn’t Gavin Newsum or Kamala Harris… And those are the options being presented to us. The Democratic establishment even gave Hunter Biden a test run, they are desperate to avoid any form of progress

If you don’t think it’s appropriate to call for random public figures to run for president, I don’t think you really understand where politics in this country are right now

Who cares? It’s a silver bullet. Of course there’s nothing wrong with sucking dick, but it’s incredibly damaging to Trump so we should keep memeing about it

You can break down why, but really if comes down to fascism being very psychosexual. Trump sucking off Clinton is incompatible with his image

It’s not hypocritical to mock Trump for blowing Bill with a dick in your mouth. At all.

It’s not about sex, it’s about power

IDK, at this point, Ellish for president. Why not

Well… Not anymore

The way he responded to this was really good. He got up there and said “I’m only surprised it took this long for Trump to come after me, bring it on”
