Please help expose that Trump doesn't know how tariffs work and honestly neither do any of the media people or most average citizens. This is nuts. Just don't text us to begin with

This isn't economically feasible, and the people that they would be putting there are not that bad. 72% of the people should be at the residence inn

They should have to put it independent monitor in there maybe from amnesty international or something along those lines, sadly

Do you realize that half the country is giving Trump way more credit for knowledge and expertise than he really has not only that his temperament makes it impossible for him to have a normal relationship that isn't defined by winners and losers

Or put tariffs on Madagascar because there's a trade deficit. Oh wait that's the fundamental misunderstanding that Trump has about economics the trade deficits are not losing a competition. That's where we get all our spices and vanilla and a lot of textiles and they don't need anything from us

He really is trying to replace income tax with tariffs which is really ignorant. He's going to try anyway he doesn't care

This is the biggest mistake ever, not exploiting and proving the Trump doesn't know how tariffs work. I don't even think news people know how tariffs work that's why no one's making a big deal about this crap

This is what Tom Homan said recently that an event as a heckler was being dragged out by henchmen. People with balls big enough to be an ICE agent don't need to wear a mask. With balls that big you don't need to hide behind a mask because you're afraid.

Screenshot of a quote by Tom Homan, head of Homeland security, where he said the heckler being dragged out didn't have the balls to be an ice agent.

I asked Gemini to tell me what 480 degrees Celsius was in Fahrenheit, and it gave me the formula, went through the steps, and gave me the answer. I thought let me save that formula for when the Internet gets turned off.

This means a smaller proportion of total national wages is subject to Social Security taxes compared to periods with less wage inequality. Less money for benefits

Reason social security reform is needed, Increasing Wage Inequality: A growing portion of total earnings in the U.S. has been going to high earners, whose income exceeds the maximum taxable earnings cap for Social Security.

The time has come for #America to act. This post will be a long thread on safety for protests, click through the comments. Hope for a peaceful #protest with minimal issues from law enforcement, but prepare for a possible riot. #Disobey #ResisterConnect #Resist #BlueCrew #Resistance #Anonymous

1.Water can make Pepper Spray worse (Capsaicin is oily). Use milk or liquid antacid and water. Don't wear contact lenses but DO wear goggles if you have them. 2.If you get tear gassed, when you get home, put the contaminated clothes in a plastic bag for washing later if you can't toss them in immediately. Take a COLD shower, not warm/hot so you don't open up your pores. 3. Go with a group of friends or allies and don't get separated. Avoid leaving the crowd area and watch out for police snatch squads. 4. Authorities are very good at combing through pictures and doxing people. Wear a mask and goggles. 5. Write any necessary phone numbers you may need directly on your skin with a Sharpie. 6. Coordinate with offsite friends and have an emergency plan if one of you are not heard from by X time. 7. If you plan on going to jail, plan it. Bail, lawyer, time off from work, witnesses and support. Don't just go to jail without training. 8. Make sure all mobile devices are charged. 9. Beware of folks trying to get you to destroy property. They can sometimes be undercover police/feds. Get to know the crowd first. Do not do anything you are not comfortable with. Don't be afraid to ask questions.

It's a great explanation of how things are, and what it would take to get back to the post-war economic good times. And yep, we would need to bring back powerful unions and dramatically increase tax on the morbidly rich. It's nuts and it's unsustainable. hartmannreport.com/p/what-the-s...
