At least it still ends in a 5?

We are not going to approve any new drugs with Brain Worms running the CDC. You just need a good spoonful of cod liver oil.

Oh wow a whole dozen? I mean thats really showing him who is boss.
Whats that? He can veto the bill and neither the house or senate has veto proof margins on these?
So fuck off with this attempt to seem like a not piece of shit. This is what you wanted
- Catma@lemmy.worldtopolitics @lemmy.world•Trump's new tariffs would be laughed out of a high school economics class, analyst says2·11 months ago
As a counter I think he believes in Mercantilism. Its the only way the “tariffs” he said existed make sense. They are a percentage of our trade deficit, and all trade deficit is bad.
The problem is to correct the deficit you have to get those places to either A) buy more from the US or B) buy less from them. And trade is not a zero sum game.

Trump sees trade through a mercantilism lens. Any trade deficit we have is bad by default and the deficit is how bad we are “ripped off” by importing that countries goods. The only way to “fix” the imbalance is for them to import more of our goods.
Its rooted in the 16th-18th century so its totally the best system

This is the only person I have seen say this so I can only guess no one is repeating it but it appears to be correct when I checked a few countries.
Its fucking insane to think Cambodia has a 97% tariff, and he thinks they are getting rich off of it.

- Catma@lemmy.worldtopolitics @lemmy.world•Trump demands ‘terrorists’ who vandalized his golf course be ‘treated harshly’6·11 months ago
Yes? I mean its not a hard concept. You are a terrorist for diagreeing with the god emperor. The only way back is to do 5 Hail Trumps, 3 Trump Prayers, and 1 apology to Elon Musk.
- Catma@lemmy.worldtopolitics @lemmy.world•Elon Musk says people against his DOGE cuts are trying to pressure Tesla to get him to stop4·11 months ago
This seems like the worst way for him to go because 100% his “fans”, if you want to call them that, will say it was the deep state that killed him for getting to close to their operations. They will try to get Trump to double down on his cuts to the government and it will make things worse somehow.
Really no matter how he goes it will be due to the deep state unless he Luigi’s himself

Fuck it, i need to know. What does being a homophobe have to do with eating with latex gloves or no covid shots?
You ever hear of the war of northern aggression? How about the traitor of the union Abe Lincoln?
You are gonna hear alot of this in the future
Ok and assumming they flip the house what are they going to do? They can do all the hearings and pass out a metric fuckton of subpoenas, what makes you think anyone in this administration listens or shows up? I am pretty sure they did that the first time around, and people shook their fingers and sent very mean letters to no avail.
Whose to say Ttump then doesnt just dismiss congress? Whose gonna fucking stop him?
