Absolutly. Any election I'd vote for the cabbage Brandon rather than CABBAGE Rump.

No doubt.

Doesn't matter. The republicans (and you) will pull the same character assassination on any Democrat. It was successful because Rump is lacking character.

lol, character assassination did not cost the democrats the election, silly goose.

Trump's attempt to blackmail Adams into favors on immigration hits a speed bump. The Trump DoJ tried to dismiss a slam dunk case against Mayor Adams, with a publicly stated quid quo pro about Adams supporting immigration actions. The critical thing was that this wasn't a plea deal. They were trying to keep charges hanging over Adams' head as leverage, making an ugly deal even uglier.

Well, former George W. Bush admin attorney that was assigned by the judge to figure out how to move forward in this obviously "fucked up" situation, has found that the best way forward was to drop the case... with prejudice. This means Double Jeopardy is in play and the blackmail no longer has any leverage.

This isn't a done deal yet, we'll see how the DoJ responds to this as they would be possibly gaining nothing out of it.

And it seems the courts have fucked up Trump's scheme.

A judge on Wednesday dismissed corruption charges against Eric Adams, ending the first criminal case against a New York City mayor in modern history and underscoring how President Trump’s Justice Department is using prosecutorial power to advance his agenda.

The judge, Dale E. Ho of Federal District Court in Manhattan, refused to let the government retain the option of reinstating the charges, as Mr. Trump’s Justice Department had sought.

The Law and Order party gave Mayor Adams a free pass on corruption with an asterisk. The Federal court erased the asterisk. So the Mayor walks away unscathed and the Trump Admin gets nothing for it.

Art of the Deal, indeed.
 
Trump announces Tariffs... you get a tariff, you get a tariff, you all get tariffs!

This will make America rich, because we'd have to be rich to afford a car now (25% tariff on foreign cars).

Trump says all this shit is a national emergency. I can't wait for a Democrat President to just do whatever and say "national emergency". I'm sure that'll fly.
 
Pres Fucking Trump said:
With today’s actions, we’re also standing up for our great farmers and ranchers who are brutalized by nations all over the world.

Oddly enough, our farmers and ranchers have taken the brunt of the impact of his tariffs. So much so Trump had to have the US write big checks in the tens of billions to support them from his actions.
 
Billionaires don’t mind paying an extra few hundred grand for the shit that supports their lifestyle. It saves them millions in taxes. Because 160 million households will be paying thousands more each to the government, even on stuff below the level of standard deductions. All that income below the SD was immune from taxes, but NOT FROM TARIFFS.
Hey trumpsuckers -he gotcha AGAIN!!

What you're saying is that tariffs are sales taxes and so are regressive. Trump is basically screwing everyone but the billionaires. When will the MAGAtards figure this out? Never?
 
I'm waiting for an analysis showing the the rates on the left are actually made up. Trump has put out false tariff claims before.

And why is there no organization at all to that table? None of the three columns provides the order. It looks totally random which makes me also suspicious.

To be honest, Trump lies so much that one can't be suspicious of anything that comes out of the White House.

They are pure bullshit. They added a fudge number for what they are calling "Currency manipulation and trade barriors"

The real amounts are here:

I just googled Peru at the top of the list and got this:

Due to the U.S.-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement (TPA), most U.S. goods exported to Peru are now duty-free, with tariffs on remaining products being phased out, and Peru eliminated tariffs on almost 90% of U.S. agricultural products.

So, as usual, Trump is lying.

Oops. Ninja'd by Ax.
 
Interesting modelling here

Based on the modelling these steps seem to be some form of political and economic masochism. Especially incentivising other countries to retaliate to not only improve their outcomes but make yours (US) outcomes even worse!

Apparently, Adams’ corruption was more palatable than Trump’s.
