They're starting their pressure/influence campaign. Trump is also talking about it. The Appeals Court will say the tariffs are illegal. The Supreme Court will say Trump has the executive power over Congress.

I could swear the guy in the blue hat looks like my cousin. He does dress like that.

This queen needs to just disappear back into irrelevance!

The ship sailed last November, for a four year tour.

The US has been a laughing stock and embarrassment since Trump came into power again

The world is laughing already. We are all moving on without the USA.

The shameless are incapable of embarrassment.

as Wonkette put it in another context:

I'm pretty fucking embarrassed right now

America is already an embarrassment

But your honor, if you rule that we are full of shit, people will think we're stupid and make fun of us! Please don't let them laugh at us.

Only the dumbest in that house

DiamondDildo will learn....

Yeah, well, my family would be embarrassed if I was arrested for robbing a grocery store. The solution isn't to say robbery is legal; it's for me not to rob grocers. If these mooks don't want to be embarrassed when their crimes are exposed, the solution is to stop criming.

Or to make it cool.... that's always an option.

The Dow would jump a 1000 points if the dumbass tariffs were reset.

Zero self awareness with these clowns

We’ve been embarrassed since 2016

🤣 That was a great chaser for my Friday night bourbon. Appreciate that

Embarrassment is not a thing in F47's make-believe world.

When the Japanese news analysis show hosts hold placards displaying“TACO” in 6” high letters—with explanations in English and Japanese—on a nightly basis, and the negotiating minister explaining wryly “there’s no sense, just vibes in the White House”, you have a whole carrier group under way.

🥴

Cantor Fitzgerald is paying cash money to get in on those illegal tariff refunds. Seems like a good investment tip considering who the CEOs father is.

Yeah, well, doing illegal shit is often embarrassing. If you’ve got any shame left, that is.

Am I going to be embarrassed? I don't think so. I think a squishy-fat psychopath rapist fraud child molestor is going to be embarrassed. And a pinhead named Scott. He's going to be embarrassed.

it’s illegal to embarrass me, you see

"It would be embarrassing if the US follows its own Constitution instead of letting its President act as a dictator."

Being embarrassed in front of guys who are richer than they are is THE ONLY consistently effective tool against these smug dicks - plus it's so much more fun than screeching at each other about being 'part of the problem' or 'accepting their framing'. Just ridicule the shit out of these guys 24/7.

This is how the rest of the world sees the US right now🙄

Nah. Like this.

Until Mango Mussolini & his regime is gone, the US is an embarrassment on the world stage.

We need a multiple “like” option

Our “embarrassment” should be the least of his worries… bsky.app/profile/hell...

one neat trick to solve this - don't break the law

Oh Bessent, we’ve already been deeply deeply embarrassed.

LOL. As if dipshit doesn’t realize DOJ is an embarrassment, making false statements in court, overcharging cases and being told to pound sand my multiple grand juries. Being incompetent and oblivious to reality…now that’s embarrassing, boyo.

Embarrassment is not a legal defense

BWAH-HAW-HAW-HAW-HAW!!!!!

‘Embarrassment’ is no more a reason for a court to make a decision than it is for a government to classify something they don’t want their citizens to know about.

Giant sentient turd warns room it's sitting in at risk of smelling awful.

Lutnick said an adverse decison would “send a signal to the world that the United States lacks the resolve to defend its own economic and national security.” They've been doing this on their own just fine so don't see how the court finding for plaintiffs would make any difference.

"Don't tattle on me, I'll get in so much trouble"

yep, ... and allowing them WOULDN'T be embarrassing ... because they're illigal?

Bessent means he and Trump will be shamed for wrecking our economy and damaging the world's trading balance.

The embarrassment will be theirs. The country will only share in it for electing them.

It would have been less embarrassing if Trump had just followed the LAW!

Baloney, Luigi and Rubella are worried if the ruling stands that the tariffs were illegally imposed it would embarrass the US. The three idiots and the stupid sociopath running this country are an embarrassment. There’s no getting around that reality.

I pretty sure embarrassment fits to a tee.

Fits to a tee…followed by a rump

Honestly it seems like it would be less embarrassing to be a democracy...you know where the President had to follow laws passed by Congress and didn't rule (or seek to rule) as a dictator.

Truth.

Oh! I dunno… In these Trump Season 2 days, it seems to the world that the US capacity for embarrassment is infinite…

Just like there’s no bottom

Where’s the problem? It’s not like we can get any more embarrassing. At least not for the rest of the day.

that policy of doing arbitrary stupid things with no connection to what they did the day before.

I love how the picture appears to be AI-generated, not that Bessent didn't look like a commercial actor playing an investment banker on an E.F. Hutton commercial anyway.

But when Bessent talks, nobody listens.

😆😆😆

Yep, and the thing is, Scott, this is one of those things where “you shoulda thought about this beforehand” really, really applies.

I'm so embarrassed that Americans elected this gang of violent reactionary grifters.

If his boss were capable of embarrassment, he'd commit suicide before he'd appear in public again.

He doesn’t need to conditionalize that shit

This entire US government is an international embarrassment. Actual functioning governments are looking at us all “WTF?” Especially our (former?) allies. This will take a lifetime to correct…if ever…

Bloomberg is paywalled. Fuck 'em.

Plus he’s a fucking Billionaire. Fuck em is right

Well done by America’s embarrassment

Bessent Worries About the Guy Who Regularly Shits Himself Being Embarrassed #FixedHeadline

What is this ‘if they are deemed illegal’? The president had no authority to impose them in the first place outside of a fabricated loophole. And the whole business of the tariffs, their varying rates and postponements has already made us a laughing stock internationally. I’m embarrassed already

The pedophile president is an embarrassment to America.

Tariffs being deemed illegal would be more embarrassing than literally stealing money from the American people and pretending that the country of export is paying?

He thinks THAT is embarrassing? It is. Did he not read "the letters" that went along with the tariffs? Plus, the whole TACO fiasco?

We already have the biggest embarrassment- he’s in the White House!

What’s embarrassing about showing that we are (finally) upholding the rule of law?

your honor do you have any idea how stupid that would make us look

Yes Trump embarrasses us every damn day!

If Democrats were a serious political party they already have announced that any Supreme Court justices that ignores the Constitution and backs these unconstitutional tariffs will be reassign to Katrina duty for the duration their lifetime appointment. “Don’t think we can? Watch us.”

Yeah, let’s blame the democrats because it’s just that easy to fix this 🙄

Yeah. let’s blame Republicans for things Democrats fail to do. 🙄

Based on your statement that the democrats should tell SCOTUS how to rule or face consequences (paraphrasing), how do you propose they go about doing that successfully?

It's sweet to think that this crew or anyone who backs them is capable of embarrassment.

They were an embarrassment when implemented

We’re not yet embarrassed enough

Sorry Bessent the Sycophant, your embarrassment has no bearing on the relevant law. Go ahead and crawl away in shame. We'll be cheering you on.

90 embarrassments in 90 days.

They’re making a specious national security argument so the corrupt Supreme Court has something to latch onto.

Unfortunately, the Roberts Six will fix this for Dear Leader, and with that, the coup will be unstoppable.

If you’re not embarrassed yet, you’re a fool.

Not that it matters but that’s not a legal argument

Tariffs aside, any sane American is embarrassed by anything this inept, amateur administration of sycophants does.

I’m not sure “you have to let us do illegal things because if you don’t you’ll make us look bad” is as strong an argument as they think it is (having read the article, this really is their entire argument!)

877-CASH-NOW for tariff refunds.

Doesn’t sound like a solid argument for the Court to me 🤷🏼‍♀️ Especially when they’re already an embarrassment

"warns of embarrassment" GOP isn't concerned about causing people to lose jobs, healthcare, food, voting, disasters, houses, .... They're just concerned about "embarrassment".

Alito and Roberts will save tariffs with some new wacko theory of the exec branch.

If you ever sit and watch Bessent speak, he does know what embarrassment means; however, tariffs are paid by manufacturers who then pass it onto consumers who purchased the goods.

No, the US wont. Trump and his asskissers cabinet will, especially Lunatnick, Karolying and crooked Bessant

LOL, 'Embarrassment' he says? The current list of 'embarrassments' is basically identical to the presidential succession list.

Bessent is already an embarrassment - need a cloth to wipe your mouth after having it up POTUS’ ass? So sick of these asshats acting as though they are saying anything true or relevant - it’s 100% show or fake with this group

We are already wholly embarrassed. Bring it, till it's put down.
