Once again the Trump administration has a melt-down over the obvious. If it doesn't agree with their propaganda it must be fake news:

Given that the purpose of tariffs is to change consumer behavior, the claim that consumers don’t and won’t pay the tariffs should lead one to the conclusion that tariffs are pointless. The inconsistency among the administration’s competing lies is amazing.

Not exactly - they - or at least Trump - claimed that the seller would eat the cost via lowering prices. Of course this was non-sense for anyone just about anywhere in the world but that is what Trump insists because well he is a stinking turd:

No, no it is not. There is no mystery here. The Klan saw a person of color, and they want action so this never happens again.
Fwiw, Usher and Kendrick Lamar performed for the Half Time Show at the last two SBs, respectively, so having a POC up on stage ain't the reason. It's more because they don't like when a POC decides to get "uppity" and calls them out on their bigotry.

When a POC is for entertainment purposes only, they're totally OK with it, but as soon as they decide to do more, that's when the bigots have a problem, a la Colin Kaepernick or the Green Book movie.

How would that work? Don't people need to VPN to it and if they already have to VPN, why would they need to go to that portal?

-The site will be hosted at "freedom.gov," the sources said. One source said officials had discussed including a virtual private network function to make a user's traffic appear to originate in the U.S. and added that user activity on the site will not be tracked.


they have no fucking idea, some dude with no idea how the internet works probably thought it was a great idea

This is what the syphilitic orange menace should have received.
Instead, we get four more years of the asshole.

South Korea’s former president Yoon Suk Yeol jailed for life for leading insurrection.


And all at hard labor.
nice and relatively quick message sent.....

Everything he touches turns to shit.

The funny thing is that trying to manipulate the trade deficit is weapons grade stupid and harms consumers (who are already very happy with him).

He literally thinks we are losing money. This is a problem on the order of you having a trade deficit with the grocery store, where you give them money and they give you food.

Lmao. Huge jump in the trade deficit right after Trump takes “credit” for reducing it.

It should be noted that is for the month of December and that the trade deficit did go down a little for the year.

Trump says he’s basically eliminated it and that it will soon go positive. I am also the King of England.
