And 34% on Taiwan won’t help anything either

One easy example: get ready to pay a lot more for vanilla. Madagascar makes 50% of it, and gets a 47% tariff. Good luck picking up the slack with US domestic production.

Ok let’s suppose you could though. Wouldn’t that make it EVEN MORE criminally negligent to discuss classified info there?

It’s a valid thing we should have done a while ago, but can the president actually just do it? I mean, I know he “can” if people let him but, like, doesn’t that in theory require an act of Congress?

We’re setting up the “Mr Burns’ diseases” system. We’ll just have every constitutional crisis in existence all at once, and they’ll balance each other out! 🤦‍♀️

I don’t remember details but I feel like I read a while ago that there’s a pending amendment that some blue states want to de-ratify. If there’s open question about whether de-ratifying is a thing, then this might be a strategic move to get the courts to establish that it is.

Edit: looking up unratified amendments I see there aren’t that many and none seems to fit the description I was thinking of so I guess my memory is just wrong. But still I do wonder if it might just be a case of putting an old question to bed.

Well his manifesto said it wasn’t terrorism after all. No reason to question such a fine upstanding citizen.

Clearly not, or you would know that Febreze and Snickers is far superior!
