  1. aluminum is a pretty good example of just how broke brained this whole thing is.

    Right now, Quebec produces something like 90% of the aluminum used in automotive manufacturing in North America.

    Bing bong, so simple, just smelt it all in the US of A, right?

    Well, the catch is it requires a fucking shit ton of electric power to smelt aluminum. That’s why it’s all made in Quebec, where they have 10 bajillion hydro electric dams (the same dams we sell you excess power from for pennies on the dollar).

    In order for the yankee menace to replace this production you’d need to build something like 10 nuclear power plants.. which would take 15 years and cost hundreds of billions of dollars.. to replace something you’re already getting cheap as fuck!

    That’s just for one material for one industry. Lol!

  2. Kennedy knows all about selling deep stupid.The GOP depends on stupid to gain and hold power.

  5. Maybe he can fix the situation by putting on an even more ridiculous affectation.

  6. I always thought Kennedy was already undead from a voodoo curse.

  7. Nobody cares what he has to say. All of them sat by and watched an illiterate predatory con artist have mafia-style control over ever facet of government.

    Oh, we should give a damn now because it’s on their front porch. GTFOH.

  8. I mean. We DID think that Donald wasn’t going to win two presidential elections, so he might be wrong and we won’t all die, just wish we were. 🤷‍♂️

  9. I love the false narrative that “nobody knows what the impact of these tariffs will be.” Yes, we in fact do know. We can look at the 2016 trade war, or any tariff war in history to know it causes inflation and decreases spending power. It destroys economies for no benefit.

  11. How dummies destroyed America in 100 days. The new history of the GOP.

  13. NOW OFF TO HIS RESORT FOR GOLF, YOU HEARD ME????!!!!

  14. We don’t have to be if congress would do their job and remove this entire admin.

  15. I’d like to remind everyone what happened the last time these kind of sweeping tariffs were implemented in the 1930’s. Google Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act and its impact on the economy.

  16. Hopefully the architect’s and enablers of this fiasco start flying out windows just like they did when Wall Street crashed in 1929.

  17. This charlatan’s state ranks, according to US News and World Report, 50th in Crime, 49th in Economy, 47th in Education, 46th in Health care, 49th in Infrastructure, 49th in Natural Environment, and 44th in Opportunity. Maybe he should have looked after his state’s best interests instead of aligning himself with an Orange dipshit to grasp more power.

  19. >“Short run matters, too. Nobody knows what the impact of these tariffs is going to be on the economy.”

    Immediate price increase of 25% across the board.

    and Nobody knows ?

  20. I believe this is the beginning of the end of Trump. This ain’t mathing and it never will

  23. Yes. You are all dead. Anybody see the price of crude today to. Under $70. It stays there for a while Texas won’t be booming either

  24. I wrecked the economy in the first few months and you don’t even say thank you

  26. Most younger generations will never own your own home your future is fuucked!!

  27. And Kennedy is about as responsible for this catastrophe as Trump. He supported and enabled him for years.

  29. No MAGA will be fine even if this is terrible for the economy. When you have a propaganda machine tailored specifically for your base, it’s easy to defer blame on the Libs and minorities.

    It’s like when GW wrecked the economy Neo-Cons just got more conservative and became MAGA.

  30. Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.): “we are all dead”

    Americans: “we really do hope so”

  32. Not surprised. Sen. John Kennedy is among the elite idiots running our country now.
