• Tariffs

    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/201 to All on Fri Feb 20 17:10:30 2026
    The USSC ruled against Trump's power to enact tariffs, but 3 dissenting justices ruled in Trump's favor.

    Other presidents like Nixon and Ford (and others) enacted tariffs via executive order, so why can't Trump do it?

    And what happened to Justice Amy Barrett? Why has she turned against the country?

    There has been a rumor that the Supremes are beholden to foreign interests and that the way Trump did the tariffs initially was part of a plan to expose that.

    If that's true, then I think we have verification of the corruption of the Supreme Court by foreign interests.

    It's got to be difficult to find judges who can be trusted. Amy Barrett is such a backstabber.

    The only reason hot civil war hasn't broken out is because the majority of people believe that the system can work to correct things. Once the majority stop believing that, things will get hot.

    The stuff that the left wants, and the stuff that they do to innocent people to get it, makes me think that the country should be split immediately, before they start killing us again.

    There's no way to unite "the ultra ignorant" with the "logical thinkers."

    Sad to say, but you are correct. There is no middle ground anymore, so there's nothing to unite on.

    The good news is that most of them got the jab, so they won't live too long. And they aren't having kids, so if we start homeschooling, they can't indoctrinate the next generation.

    Which is probably why the Elitists needed to import voters in the form of illegal aliens.

    Aaron, it funny AF to see what Trump did after... the USSC was soooooooooooo specific in their ruling that it seemed to give the power Trump was looking for.

    A few years back, Trump's 1st term, he was in a situation where they were under contract for something...

    HE SAID... he preferred a bad contract because he would hold they other party to account based on what the contract said.

    So, with USSC narrow interpretation of the case opened the door to other possibilities.

    You're right. I didn't know about this when I posted that. They didn't like his other tariffs? Fine. Here are some new ones ;)

    I'm surprised that they couldn't think of a better plan. If I had
    billions of dollars worth of other peoples' money at my disposal, I'm
    sure that I could do a better job at subverting American freedom than
    they did.

    They already tried that. But the 2016 election showed that their voter fraud machines were not effective anymore. They really had to ramp them up in 2020 - to the point where everyone with more than 2 brain cells noticed - to pull Sleepy Joe over the finish line.

    They **need** to keep up the illusion that we have free elections.

    Remember what I said: The only reason that it's not open season on Lefties is because the majority of people believe that the system can work to correct things peacefully. Once the majority no longer believe that...

    It's scary to think about what they might try next (assuming that they give up on the ridiculous immigration tactic.)

    They can't get more blatent than 2020 and they already damaged trust in the system, etc. then. If they try to pull the same things in this next election, people will get hurt.

    IHMO: Trump is a master at manipulation and is causing all these Leftoids and Propaganda people to expose themselves. There's no coming back for them now.

    Their choices are now: Take their ill-gotten gains and go hide somewhere, or armed conflict - and the Rednecks are just hoping for that. :)

    I sleep well now that Trump is president, but another Democrat (or RINO) is inevitable. All this Trump stuff might help with elections, but how could
    there ever be peace again once he leaves office?

    The left are just sitting in the swamp with their mouths open, waiting for the ducks to land.

    That's why the mid-terms are so important this year. We **NEED** to codify Trump's Executive Orders into law to make it harder for Dems to change them.

    But, especially after their performance last night, I think 2026 is the end of the Democrat Party. They have shown that they are openly hostile to America.

    I was surprised to see the Democrats applauding Trump's plan to stop insider trading by congress members. But it seems obvious to me that they were applauding it to make it look like they're not scared and not guilty (but Elizabeth Warren looked really scared!)

    They won't clap for the adorable little girl who survived an illegal immigrant semi crash, but they clap for an end to insider trading? Trump exposed the sh!t out of them last night.

    I'm not. Most of them didn't get their money from that.

    But it seems obvious to me that

    Could be. I would call it as "applauding because it doesn't impact them and because they think Trump hasn't figured out how they get their money yet."

    They won't clap for the adorable little girl who survived an illegal immigrant semi crash, but they clap for an end to insider trading?

    Remember that the "Narrative is always true" for them. That didn't support their Narrative, therefore they have to pretend it wasn't said/didn't happen.

    Trump exposed the sh!t out of them last night.

    Many times!

    Right. They've received specialized training for these scenarios. It's creepy how they all knew exactly how to react to everything.

    Well, that's part of being a Leftist. That's why I call them the "Ignorant Elitists". They are so stupid that they actually believe that they are smarter than the rest of us. They don't understand that they only reason they are "getting away" with things is because their predecessors set up a system that protects them.

    They don't understand that Trump is dismantling that system. And, while the system is deep, it's pretty fragile.

    They are all bots who are told what to think/do. That's been clear for a while.

    US Rep Henry Cuellar seems to be on our side when it comes to illegal immigrants. He already voted with us at least 1x since being pardoned (and 1x before being charged by the Biden regime.) John Fetterman makes sense when he talks but I don't think he's voted to help us with anything yet. (There was that 1 time, but it was on something that wasn't going to pass no matter what.)
