badgerx16 Posted Wednesday at 15:07 Posted Wednesday at 15:07 Trump has introduced his tariffs under the National Emergencies Act. Under that Act, Congress has the power to declare the "emergency" has ended, and if a motion is so proposed it has to be debated within 15 days. Knowing that many Republicans are actually ideologically opposed to tariffs the Democrats have announced they will submit just such a motion, thereby forcing the Republicans into a choice they really don't want to make. To counter this, and avoid this moral dilemma, the Republicans have passed their own resolution, declaring that the remainder of the 119th Congress will count as 1 day. 2
aintforever Posted Wednesday at 15:51 Posted Wednesday at 15:51 Politics over there is completely fucked. I don’t usually take much notice of it but had a look on X the other day and it’s polarised to the point where rational debate is just impossible. Trump could literally say anything and some people will support it because it’s their side, and vice-versa. It’s like the Brexit situation we had here but on steroids. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trumps whole stance on Ukraine is shaped by the fact that Biden supported Kiev. Whatever the Democrats thought and did has to be wrong, actual facts are irrelevant. I guess they have always had the two party thing over there but I expect the whole thing has been turned toxic by social media. 1

I reckon you are right that because Biden supported Ukraine and the Kiev Govt wouldnt give up any info on Hunter Bidens Lap Top, Trump has the hump. 3

There’s been quite a few interviews with long-time US commentators connected with the GOP (or some used to be) on Times Radio expounding this exact line of thinking. Add in what your hear from the likes of Bolton and Scaramucci who have actually worked for Trump about everything going back to being purely about Trump, and it makes more sense than conspiracy theories about Agent Trump. 1

Weston Super Saint Posted Thursday at 15:06 Posted Thursday at 15:06 I'm genuinely struggling to think of any American products that I use. The closest I can get is my Gillette razor, but that can be replaced with plenty of alternatives. I don't think there is anything else, certainly nothing that I can't live without. 1

Yeah I don't think I buy much American products but there's loads of sort of products and services such as: Amazon, Netflix (plus other streaming), Exxon, Microsoft, probably pretty much every social media excluding TikTok, Apple, eBay, For the record I don't actually use much of the above - just trying to list American goods and services outside of the usual grocery type purchases.

whelk Posted Thursday at 18:37 Posted Thursday at 18:37 The only positive thing that has come from this shit show is that Tesla will be fucked in Europe forever. As for those disgusting trucks, you might as well have a sunscreen (remember them?) saying I’m a massive cunt 2

badgerx16 Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago (edited) A Judge in California and another in Maryland have instructed Federal agencies to reinstate workers dismissed through DOGE's purges. Donnie has also issued Executive Orders targeting two law firms, one associated with Hillary Clinton's Presidential election campaign, and the other associated with one of the prosecutors who drew up legal cases against Trump. Both firms are deemed to be risks to national security, although another Judge has revoked the Order against the first firm. Edited 14 hours ago by badgerx16
