Ok, so factually, Congress sets Tariffs except in "Emergency situations". Thus, about 90-95% of these are illegal as no real emergency can be demonstrated. Six SCOTUS mopes must weigh their Federalists belief in the Unitary Executive Theory against their pro business/free market chops.

Why. Why only go for 5 seats? Zero's out Texas. Which is a proportionate loss. NY can't do it (need a state constitutional amendment) so when Rethuglicans in FL, IN, MO and other deep R states redistrict, then D's are screwed. I want the House but all we did was offset Texas (MAYBE).

Lazy Mopes. Question: How many seats are at stake in TX. Answer 5. Question: How many seats are at stake in CA. Answer 5. Question: Can NY also do this. Answer - NO, they need a state constitutional amendment. Question: Will other R states like Florida, Indiana, Missouri do this? Answer. Yes.

GMAFB. A Top "Apparatchik" or "MAGAT"...is the proper way to address this

And your point is? We know they cheat. All Dem states should have been ready for this. In my Great State of WA I was disappointed that Dems said "no". Zero chance any R states say "no".

Not sure why press hasn't figured it out. Maybe because they never travel outside the US. Those of us that do, realize that this is simply a shift to a backdoor Value Added Tax (VAT Tax). Those who buy pay. On almost everything. Europe has both a high VAT and high income tax rates.

Hard to be perfect - they got 230+ judges through with either a 1 or zero Senate Majority. Should have done more in the DC circuit. But Obama/Reid were the disaster leaving over 100 vacancies.

What a laugher. Red States are READY. They don't need Special Elections. Their legislatures just do it. Unless CA and NY get their asses moving, the House is lost again. And boy do I want to win the House. Investigations will be lit.

Who cares. They saw large upticks the year before the election and then many of the mopes sat home and whined because they didn't get the candidate they wanted. House was won by 3-4 seats. Senate won by 2-3 seats. Presidency won because 32% of the electorate voted for Him while 31% voted for Her.

What a laugher. You had 5 years or so under Obama. You had 2 years under Biden. You had a bit of a chance adding DC and PR but .... now... zero chance.

Need more of this realism from the under 30 set and it needs to translate to the voting booth in 2026.

To be completely fair, the US has fcked Ukraine over before on the definition of "Security Guarantees". The press is too lazy to discuss this but we, along with Russia and the UK, signed an agreement called the "Budapest Memorandum" in 1994. What did the Ukrainians give up? 1700 Nuclear Warheads.

Mopes. 200 - 300 people are struck by lighting each year in the us and 20-30 die. This isn't a national story.

And, he won't. Re-taking the House in 2026 is critical to stopping many of the insane policies. It would also be great because of the investigatory powers the House has. Would be lit. Maybe the 37% that didn't bother to vote will get off their asses. Or not.

No surprise. In California, it requires a special election. In Texas, just the Rethuglicans in the State House can decide. So, yeah, block the special election. We aren't fighting on equal terms.

Uh, so dude, the money doesn't flow through the states to the Federal Govt. It goes directly from the taxpayers of those states to the IRS. So you are advocating that taxpayers in Blue States should unilaterally stop paying their taxes en masse. Boston Tea Party style. Need to think it through.

Exactly. 1 Trillion "savings" means 999,999,999,999 less in G&A - or WAGES. Since Corporations basically don't pay taxes, means about 300,000,000,000 less tax not to mention State and Local.
