They are tariffing imported raw materials as well, like aluminum and steel.

Judging by what happened back in 2008 no, big corps just go under. They will not survive this.

It’s part of their plan to eliminate the IRS and federal taxation, to be replaced by a universal sales tax. However, trump doesn’t have the authority to do that. But he can tariff. And a tariff is a little bit like a sales tax.

Therefore, we get tariffs.

Now, the other problem is that the tariff revenue is going to be like 1/10 that of the IRS tax revenue, which will require a 90% reduction in federal spending. Including defense, research, healthcare, and social security. Can’t collect social security tax if the IRS doesn’t exist either, so social security is getting axed.

It will of course make 56 million seniors homeless, but thats a small price to pay for a 15% pay bump for me!

Without the US dept of education, there are going to be no more grants or scholarships. Probably no student loans. Were going to see the absolute gutting of academia in the US and nobody is even aware of it.

A protest where you did not get a protest permit.

Boobs don’t need to be large? Have you seen cow udders? Or a wet nurses tits? A lot of women cannot produce enough milk so they used to have a wet nurse, which is basically rent-a-tits.

All mammals are interested in boobs, but typically only when they are pups. Boobs = food

DeJoy got rid of around 1/3 of the mail sorting machines, so now they have to fake it or something. They cannot keep up with the volume of mail, is my guess.

You aren’t wrong, BUT Amtrak does a decent job maintaining their trains and service despite the odds.

Amtrak recently received a huge infusion of funding under biden so of course trump wants to kill it.

I had to ups a document recently certified delivery but the company i was doing business with refuses to receive usps mail. It cost me $50 to send a fucking letter. I was so pissed.

Both would, actually. They are independent quasi governmental corpirations.

The Rite Aid near us actually was 3/4 empty all through the pandemic. They put up a sign saying they were remodeling, but closed a few months ago.

No, it’s definitely bribes lol

My wife told me we are boycotting, so lets do this!

I have 3 trans friends and as a super straight middle aged privileged all to hell white dad, fuck these corporate assholes.

My family members sacrificed their lives to fight against fascism overseas. One of our ancestral homes was even massacred by Mussolini. Fuck fascists, and fuck Musk. If you go around Nazi saluting, you deserve to get your ass beat. You do not get any respect because you are a piece of trash.

Cant he just transfer cash out of the US Treasury?

Pretty much every major EV brand in the US is selling at 0% financing right now. GM, KIA, Ford, Nissan, Tesla, VW etc etc. its a great time to buy.

The Steele Dossier said as much and that was what, 5 or 6 years ago?

Trump is well known to have been a Russian asset going as far back as 1987:

—————— There are a lot of other key things not mentioned anywhere since this story keeps getting buried. Ivana's father was a known informer for Czech intelligence (see: basically a subsidiary of the KGB).

Even moreso when you look at a brief timeline of events:

• 1977: Trump marries Ivana; KGB file allegedly opened on Trump. • Autum 1986: Trump meets Yuri Dubinin; referred to KGB state travel agency. Source: The Art of the Deal • July 4, 1987: Trump visits Moscow and meets with Soviet leader Gorbachev. Trip paid for and organized by KGB travel agency. Stays in hotel physically connected to KGB travel agency (i.e., every part of that hotel was likely bugged). Alleged time of recruitment by KGB. Source. • July 1987: Trump registers as a Republican • September 1987: Trump's first indication of interest in the Presidency via 3 full-page ads in the NY Times, Washington Post, and Boston Globe with language such as "America should stop paying to defend countries that can afford to defend themselves." • December 1987: Trump and Gorbachev meet at a State Dinner at the White House • 1988: Gorbachev planned to meet Trump at Trump Tower. • February 1989: FBI Counterintelligence opens investigation into Trump and Ivana. This goes on for at least 2 years.

Everything above, besides the "allegedly" part, is fact with direct evidence. One final, more conspiracy theory-oriented thing: Ivana died from falling down stairs the day before the Trumps were to give depositions. They said she had "declining health" in the weeks prior, except she had gone out to a restaurant the day prior. The restaurant owner stated she appeared of normal health like anyone else. There's a ton more stuff I've been putting together, but that's the easy stuff that anyone can verify in 5 minutes or less. It'd be quite nice if there was some actual investigative journalist to put this together rather than just some random guy on Reddit (see: myself). Edit: Added sources, Gorbachev's 1988 visit to Trump Tower, and Dec. 1987 meeting.

Source was on reddit, by kaptainkeel, he posted references to all the bullet points.

What, does the UK want to go to war with the combined might of the USA and the USSR?!

And they called us data hoarders!
