  • 'Build your own manufacturing': Trump-voting business owner stung by tariffs savaged after asking for ways to keep company afloat

    Jump

  • However, I thought that the infrastructure would be set up prior for small business to come back to America and manufacture in America. So to wish ill on someone and to love the fact that they’re suffering, to love the fact that their family is being negatively affected, because I didn’t vote the same way that you did is [expletive] up

    This guy is a double idiot. That he would think the manufacturing would be around before the tariffs went into place. it's just silly thinking.

    But also that he believes "go woke, go broke" isn't the exact same thing he's facing, is a whole other level of ignorance.

    There's no way this person isn't just rage bait. No one could truly be this fucking regraded. I refuse to believe there are people this genuinely ignorant who aren't just out there for rage bait.

  • China Just Turned Off U.S. Supplies Of Minerals Critical For Defense & Cleantech

  • Ha ha, but for real. They'll just turn people's power off, tell them to ration, and/or jack the price per kWh to 500% what it was.

    Team Orange let's no good calamity go to waste. Everything is potential profit if you have no moral compass.

  • You're mostly right in that the person you're replying is missing that we are providing money for those people's detention. But El Salvador doesn't HAVE TO give the person back, there's nothing outside of us stopping payments that compels them.

    It's a semantic difference indeed but goes to point out the difference between legal means and diplomatic means. Legally, there's nothing the US can do, once the person is in El Salvador they are under that country's legal system. Diplomatically, yes, absolutely we can ask El Salvador to hand the person back or there will be diplomatic and potentially economic consequences for not doing so.

    Now as others have pointed out, the Executive branch has a wide latitude for diplomatic powers. Judge indicated that the President work diplomatically to bring the person home, but outside of that, the "or else" part. There's not much the Judge can do past that.

    Additionally, El Salvador could press charges on the person and then there would be nothing that can be done to bring the person home in any legal means and likely less so diplomatically. This is the issue with sending people there. President Bukele of El Salvador could wish for better diplomatic relationships with the United States and Trump and just invent charges to keep the person there forever. There's literally nothing we can do is El Salvador indicates that they are keeping the person and there's nothing in the court system that can compel anyone to make those reasons clear.

    That's the biggest thing about the difference between diplomatic and legal. In legal means, the Court system can ensure that people are following through on requirements. In a diplomatic means, it's just depends on who can butter who's biscuit the best. The Judge can tell the President to bring him back, but that means next to nothing when it comes to diplomatic matters.

  • Senate Republicans buck Trump, join Dems in rejecting Canada tariffs

    Jump

  • If it passes the House, it doesn't matter, Trump can veto it.

    Immigration and Naturalization Service v. Chadha in 1983 declared Legislative Veto unconstitutional. It should have been then when all the emergency powers were rewritten.

    So as it stands. All those emergency powers that were written with the understanding that a simple majority was all that was needed to end an emergency, now need a veto proof majority.

  • President Trump will impose a 10% tariff on all countries

    It's just whatever at this point. Clearly he's gunning for recession, fuck it. Nobody in Congress stopping him.

    At this point all those emergency powers Congress has given the President since the 1920s needs to be pulled back because clearly we can no long assure that the President won't declare everything an emergency.

  • Trump won’t rule out seeking a third term in the White House, tells NBC News ‘there are methods’ for doing so

    Jump

  • Elon Musk is neither President or Vice President, yet yields a massive amount of power for someone who is just "an independent contractor".

    This is what I'm getting at. That a JD Vance President and Mike Johnson VP (let's just say for sake of illustration) could indicate they're bringing Trump on as a "consultant" and then leave their jobs largely up to him.

    Technically speaking Vance would still hold the title President but Trump would be executing most of the functions.

  • Trump won’t rule out seeking a third term in the White House, tells NBC News ‘there are methods’ for doing so

    Jump

  • Yeah. Then Putin took back the role of President using the argument that Medvedev being President allowed Putin to run again despite term limits.

    Medvedev became Prime Minister, then everyone in Parliament resigned all at the exact same time, leaving the President as the only one running the place.

    Putin rewrote the Constitution and that was the end of that.

  • Trump won’t rule out seeking a third term in the White House, tells NBC News ‘there are methods’ for doing so

    Jump

  • NBC News asked about a possible scenario in which Vice President JD Vance would run for office and then pass the role to Trump. Trump responded that “that’s one” method.

    That isn't a method. At in the sense that Trump obtains the title President. But we've seen during this administration that the President can delegate broad authority to others with zero questions.

    So we could have a President who is still the President in name but has passed 99.9% of their duties to Trump who is an "independent contractor".

    This is quite literally the foundation they're building with Musk.

  • Alarm as Florida Republicans move to fill deported workers’ jobs with children: ‘It’s insane, right?’

    Jump

  • Kids aren't going to work these stupid ass jobs. And if they are working a hotel, they aren't going to give a fuck if some stick up their ass tourist gets upset, they'll just flip the person off and walk out.

    Teenagers aren't going to fucking fill these positions DeSantis is pitching. Migrants work it because they've got a need to do the work. A lot of teenagers work jobs because they'd like a little extra cash, but outside, they give flying fuck. Hell, the biggest fucking reason teens got jobs in the first place to fund their car is falling apart as more teens just skip the whole driving thing or start way later in life driving.

    DeSantis is living in some yesteryear daydream.

  • ‘MAGA Junkie’ Fired in DOGE Cuts Now Regrets Voting for Trump: ‘I Expected Better’

    Jump

  • cut waste and fraud

    If at any point she actually believed Trump was going to do that, then mission accomplished. Her energy to empower Trump was wasted and she is only a fraud to herself.

    I have very little in any expectation that she will learn from this. She will absolutely believe the next con man and lose again. That whole

    I’m not sure that I would have [voted for Trump], and the way that it’s been done... I’m for balancing the budget, that type of thing, but not, not in this context, it’s just not right

    Is just so devoid of any rational thought that I find it difficult to believe this person is real. And if what she says is indeed the fact, she's too blind, lacking a better appreciation of how government works, or some mixture of both that one could likely bank on her falling for this exact same con several more times in her life.

    There's just no way anyone could have listened to Trump in the run up and bought so blindly what he was pitching. Just a simple basic understanding of the notion that humans lie is enough to have seen past Trump. Truly if this whole story is true, there's not a stopping this lady from more self flagellation. She is in a position that being a rational thinking person would not get themselves into, so there is no rational means to help her escape her level of desire to cause self harm.

  • Judge blocks Trump executive order targeting law firm tied to Mueller probe

    Jump

  • The President doesn't have authority over Courts like that.

    Congress regulate the scope of the Courts per Article III Section 1 of the Constitution. However, the Courts have the ability to rule any law unconstitutional that changes their authority too much.

    Congress cannot get rid of the supreme court. It must always exist. But they can reduce the size to a single judge.

    Hypothetically speaking, Congress can change the Justice system to be a single court with a single judge. Now they can reduce the size, but they can only impeach judges out of their job. So if they reduced the size to a single judge, they would have to wait until all the other justices died off or impeach the eight they want to get rid of.

    The President only has the power to appoint Judges. And also Executive Orders only apply to the Executive. So EOs don't apply to Congress or the Judicial.

    All that said, nothing stops the President from arresting Judges and throwing them in jail until the President gets his way. No President does that because that would likely lead to a very bad place for the US.

    Of course that only applies to Presidents who give two shits about the country. So to answer your question, normally no. With Trump? I mean it wouldn't surprise me if he started disappearing judges he didn't like.

  • "We made a mistake": GOP Rep. Bacon suggests limiting Trump's presidential tariff powers

    Jump

  • Congress has the power to nullify any and all tariffs with a two-thirds vote in each chamber.

    Congress can then start rescinding those emergency powers acts that let Trump do this if he declares an emergency. Likely that'll need two-thirds vote as well.

    Congress used to have Legislative Veto until it was ruled unconstitutional back in the 80s. Those emergency powers should have been reformed then.

  • Schumer, Gillibrand demand reversal of Trump-era cuts to New York’s health funding

    Jump

  • Idiot. You literally voted to give the President the ability to call sequestration. It's right there in section 1113 of the fucking continuing resolution YOU voted for.

    Schumer literally voted for this to happen and is now shocked that it is indeed happening. Goddamn, dude. Everyone told you to not give into the orange shit, you gave in anyway.

    Literally this is peak FAFO. What a fucking idiot. THIS is why Democrats are losing.

  • "They basically want to kill me": GOP efforts to turn Musk into a MAGA martyr are backfiring

    Jump

  • A core principal of a martyr is being widely liked. No one gives a shit about this dude. Even the people who he surrounds himself with don't give a flying fuck about the dude. Musk himself makes every interaction with him transactional. Add in his default behavior of being an 11 year old edgelord wrapped in a 50 something whale body with hair plugs that's awkward as fuck to be around, and yeah it's not hard to see why nobody likes this fucking billionaire with attachment issues.

    Dude needs to ditch the ketamine and perhaps get actual therapy. And actually having a better diet and exercise regimen wouldn't hurt either.

  • Trump to order a plan to shut down the US Education Department

    Jump

  • The most recent continuing resolution authorized the President to begin sequestration and placed the national budget on emergency deficit reduction. That was in section 1113 of the law.

    Under sequestration, the President is given emergency powers to "fix" the budget and the funding automatically matches what the President says. No need for any additional votes.

    So Congress already gave him the green light to do whatever he wants and Congress has already pre-approved it. Now the Department will still be there in name. Senate confirmed officials will most move into advisement roles, but yeah after that last CR, Congress gave Trump the thumbs up to go hog wild.

    Now sequestration is a process so I'm sure there will be flights over the process, like on what date an agency is sequestered, the published scope, etc. But Trump has the ability to sequester the full amount for the Department of Education and Congress says the budget automatically will adjust to meet whatever he determines.
