Amen! Glad to see people appreciating and sharing “tax wealth, not work”!

Why does posse comitatus not apply here? Genuinely confused

Sadly, we could. We, as usaians are choosing not to impeach him for flagrant emoluments violations. Greedy narcissists are gonna greedily narcissist, this is on us and his supporters (even if it’s mostly on the supporters)

I do? I’m saying that there’s no reason for the world to band together and implement tariffs on us. Low volume would be another reason not to, but we do export a non-negligible amount worldwide. Most to NA, but over 300B to EU last year

Because, as we’re experiencing, tariffs are a regressive tax on your own populace and hurt the most vulnerable. Also, they don’t have to. We’re pissing off enough regular people that they’re voluntarily buying made-anywhere-but-USA. Lastly, why provoke an idiot with a huge military?

They can and will dismantle American power just by not buying our debt and then supporting a chamge in the world’s reserve currency. Trump is screwing us for generations

Jackboots back in fashion

100%. Also a hatchet man. He’s brought in, wrecks shit on purpose, gets “kicked out”, profits immensely. Now admin can roll things back 5-10% to placate the plebes and blame Musk who everyone already hates for their life being worse. That said, a lot of people would nonperformatively tell him to go fuck himself. Just don’t mistake it as anyone being on your side

Oh hey, a clerical error that got fixed without undue criminalization. 30 people voted that shouldn’t have, and won’t anymore. Priority number one

Hatchet men abound

Absolutely. It makes me crazy that people can’t imagine what the consequences of American isolation will be. We built this position and lifestyle over generations, and every single other administration including his was smart enough not to fuck with it

There are a few podcasts like that I think. Notably Hello from the Magic tavern. A sitcom, even animated, would be pretty cool!
