I meant long-term. Markets are terrified of the what new crazy shit uncle sex-pest tries next. I'm assuming this knocks the wind out of his sails (BIG ASSUMPTION!).

Was there an option for companies to not pay the tariffs and pay a potential fine (or pay the tariff at a future date with or without interest)? My memory is that they basically held your goods, so there aren't going to be any winners that took a chance by "breaking" the law.

Yeah, but the stock market will go up as companies lock in the profits for the next several months.

Heart attack?

I think it’s the hope that we will find out that Barr and perhaps Trump are guilty of murder.

Trump will also retain all the rights to his name so he will bill the airport for the use.

Nice corruption of you can get it.

Nikki Haley would like a word…

Is The Portland in the room with us now?

Not after Trump’s re-election. Not without many many people going to jail in 2029.

Whoever is willing to throw the Trump people in jail is good with me.

I care about nothing else.

Jason Miller, the guy that slipped his mistress the abortion drug in her smoothy?

Masked paramilitaries marching in front of a hanging Trump banner on the DoJ

This picture is so crazy that if you had this as a scene in a made-for-TV dystopian scifi movie in like 2014 people would switch channels because you’d ruined the suspension of disbelief.

The entire NYTimes editorial department would have died in convulsions because they thought it was so hyperbolic

They defrauded a bunch of people and not only did they get out of jail thanks to Trump's pardon, but the people owed restitutions are left out in the cold when people are pardoned.

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

People have such an emotional aversion to hurting their kids, they will come up with extraordinary excuses to remove the blame from themselves.

My point is the more obvious it is they are hurting their kids, the more extreme they will rationalize.

I assume that because the GOP is just for sale at this point, that this will primarily help them.

It's crazy that it ended JJ Abrams directing career. It made plenty of money. Was good taste enough to put him out to pasture? That would be one good outcome!

Completely convinced the Octagon headless power dynamic in the White House had led to everyone there feeding Trump false information. He has no idea what's going on in the real world.

As I've said before, the correct Dem response to this is "Step one is a free national ID card that can work as your driver's license, worker ID, and passport; then, and only then, can we start talking about voter id." That will end the discussion immediately.

While a disagree with you about this: many national grocery chains make you scan your ID to purchase any alcohol now.

Unless a national ID card is both free and almost instantly replaceable if lost, this is effectively a poll tax, which is unconstitutional. The entire question is moot.

It's official: the entire Kennedy name is besmirched now.

I don't care what anyone says, they were all bad, and they can all go to hell.

Cartoon of a cow wearing a sign to eat more chicken, followed by a chicken wearing a sign to eat veggies...calling him a dick.

Not sure how much I appreciate being called a cow or pig, but...

Are the press:
- Stupid?
- Incompetent?
- Cowards?

I will take any opportunity to post this again

This is great, but we would make so much progress if we simply moved people away from Beef and Pork to Poultry. It takes less than 1/5 the feed, water, and land for a pound of poultry compared to beef.

This list sucks.

For example, Gates isn't on it because he has donated so much money that he is no longer in the top 12.

It should be Wealth + Donations to determine the "top 12"

It's been tried a dozen times before and failed but maybe now finally it's time for a premium social network ($5/month) with serious user first tools and moderation teams.

Is the general public finally ready for it?
