Trade Wars and Tariffs

[VolinMichigan]

The State of the Union is going to look like a GG Allin concert.

Now that I might tune in for.

Since Congress had approved the other sections, the tariff decisions wouldn’t be unilateral?

There are certain tariffs that Trump imposed that are legal including products like aluminum possibly steel. The rest of his tariffs were of course arbitrary capricious and shortsighted.

"I dont care about Trump" followed by defending him and carrying water 100% of the time.....

Or maybe the administration knew exactly where the boundaries that would be disputed are and they elected to step across them. Perhaps it’s taking a long view rather than being shortsighted.

I agree with the economic policies.

" In fact, President Trump can use IEEPA itself again."

 

[jmacvols1]

Damn I want some of the **** you're smoking bro.

Mind altering stuff.

Trump Adm. has known all along there are different laws that can be used to impose tariffs. See my post #6807 with DA AG John Yoo

The water bucket got a big ole hole in it this morning. The funniest part is he got his butt handed to him by a body where he thought the fix was in. Amazing what happens when you follow the law.

Anyone without a blatant bias could take a 30,000 foot view and realize this was an excessive executive overreach with a flimsy rationale. You can be for this policy (tariffs) and against this type of overreach...

Agree. A couple of the tariffs are legal but the vast majority are not.

Surely you can't say that with a straight face.

Impromptu press conference coming shortly. Should be epic. It never goes badly when he speaks off the cuff.

I was about to say. Trump= Long view? . He has the attention span of a 2 year old.

I don’t have your TDS.

Oh this is gonna be awesome. I guess I’ll go ahead and flip away from my 50th hour of Olympic curling to watch it.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Very skeptical that those partisan hacks Thomas and Alito will rule against Trump...

Mojo, Supreme Court expert, at your service...

Managing China. Halting illegal immigration. Bringing CapEx investment here. Creating energy independence. Cheaper energy. There’s a handful of long term accomplishments for ya.

Oh that. My TDS.

Turns out my so-called “derangement” was 100% correct. Your President Trump violated the law and got his tiny nuts lopped off by the Supreme Court.

Impromptu Trump press conference incoming.

This should be amusing…

SCOTUS needs to get back in their lane. This will expedite it.

SCOTUS needs to get back in their lane. This will expedite it.

I don't like to comment here but the lanes need to stay equal for the POTUS, the Congress, and Courts. All those lanes should be much much much more narrow for the Feds than they currently are.

Whether this is overreach or judicial activism or Congressional laziness...... I'll pass but all of these branches shouldn't be as powerful as they are in America today.

All politics is local..... and most of it should stay there.

Trump says the “Democratic” Supreme Court justices are a “disgrace to our country”.

I’ll go with you on immigration but not much else. I will also give you that he has a long term view of anything that will make him and the Trump spawn some money. There are plenty of other instances of the attention span of a 2 year old.

Gorsuch and ACB are Dems?
