Yeah. That and protecting some industry considered vital for the country might be legit reasons. I’ll stick with saying Trump’s tariff policy is insane.

Tariffs can be useful in select situations, but imposing tariffs on countries that don’t even have tariffs on us, miscalculating the size of the tariffs, illegally claiming there’s an economic emergency that lets you bypass Congress is insanity.

The Capitol is a federal facility as are the parks. The FBI exists across the country. Limiting the definition to production, I expect RW-ers will stop claiming Medicaid or SNAP are socialist, right?

From a strict semantic perspective, paying for police isn’t socialism but law enforcement certainly enables production to flourish. Plus, if I lived in Alabama, I wouldn’t want to pay for policing DC.

A problem with the National Guard is that the city doesn’t control them. You’d think repubs would be outraged by having federal tax dollars subsidizing local police. Seems like socialism.

The outrage isn’t that Ghislaine Maxwell lied — that’s who she’s always been. The outrage is that the U.S. Department of Justice rewarded those lies with real benefits — and more are still coming. This isn’t justice. It’s a state-sponsored cover-up — and they think we won’t notice.
