It's like seeing the building of oligarchs-ruled Russia in the 90s, except in fast-forward.

I object to their framing here; there's nothing particularly unusual about bribery.

It’s funny that the official Republican position is the US government can only impose a wealth tax by literally amending the Constitution but Trump can personally impose technology royalties to anyone at any time by fiat. LOL.

At least now we know a liberal POTUS can impose a 200% royalty tax on guns on Day 1! I am sure the SCOTUS will agree!

Yeah but did anyone listen? No because they find EJ annoying. Let this be a lesson to people.

This is an illegal income tax.

Based? Need SCOTUS to hold this up and set precedence. We'll windfall every company 100% to reverse the tax cuts.

Illegal. Haha. Nothing is illegal.

They've been doing some things by agreement with companies (like Paramount) and then there's just no one to challenge it.

Good point. But if Trump would not have made the licenses available absent the agreement, absent the illegal tax (or outgoing tariff) have they been harmed?
aug 11, 2025, 12:00 am • 3 0 • view
I'd say they have because it makes clear that the national security rationale for "not habing made the licenses available" in the first place was mere pretext.

An illegal -export- tax that is likely facially unconstitutional but y'know, Trump! Its a little deal lol

It’s not a bribe, it’s just a simple reverse tariff.
