  1. “Fake news.”

    -MAGA

    Also MAGA: “That is useless junk anyway and you are a bad businessmen for selling it and a bad American for buying it.”

  2. Reddit taught me that that juice is processed and then has artificial flavour added. 

    Most juices have so much sugar added they are more like candy.

  3. It hasn’t hit yet. Use Tax. 25% sales tax if
    You
    Like

  4. Your choice, make it yourself. Buy another brand. Change your plan. Buy American made.

  6. I feel bad for the people who voted against Trump, but have to deal with this, among other things.

    To those who voted for him or stayed home and didn’t vote, you get no sympathy. You deserve this.

  7. We’re going to experience a major economic depression. Most people will have almost nothing. An unimaginable number of people will be pushed below the income threshold required to pay for basic necessities. Scarier yet is that it’s too soon to determine what that average income threshold will be. It will vary for everyone based on individual circumstances, but it will be difficult to get a handle on the crisis without data.

    Economic and health data will be difficult to collect due to the gutting of federal agencies. If the federal government lacks the data, they won’t know how to effectively provide the assistance required in times of economic turmoil.

    When the economic system is collapsing due to tariffs, and the life support system is broken, our total collapse appears more imminent. It’s as if it were…ya know, planned?

    This administration’s plan is to bring about the fall of a once great nation so they can rebuild a preferably White, NeoChristian, authoritarian nation, void of all Constitutional freedoms. Miller just confirmed that the administration is looking at stripping the Writ of Habeas Corpus…for “illegal immigrants” Sadly, that could easily be applied to anyone else too.

    I’ve mentioned this before. “I feel like I’m living in the movie Don’t Look Up.” I can see the worst of things playing out and nobody seems to see the same or want to talk about it.

  8. It is amazing there has not been a lot of uproar on a 145% tariff. I am resigned into believing people cannot do basic math.

    Now receipts show what that level of tariff is, people are panicking.

    Go figure.
