Clarence Thomas salivating at another motorcoach "gratuity."

Yes. Uncle Thomas wants a new cabin.

This the type of shit that makes me believe in simulation theory. The one uncle tom acting motherfucker on the bench is actually named tom.

No time to explain, Morty! Just run real fast and do math in your head.

Honestly, if we had known that all you need to do to bribe an SC justice was to give them a fucking RV and consistently refer to it as a “gratuity”, we could have gotten in front of a whole fucking lot of the problems we’re facing now

What is interesting, if unsuccessful Trump has to pay back all those tariffs. These were paid for by companies and passed on to consumers. Guess who is getting the refunds?
What an amazing way to transfer more wealth to companies.

And they’ll also certainly lower the prices to pre-tariff levels!

Imagine most business owners were like you, community over profits.

The rent still has to be paid, etc

What’s going to be really fun is the giant hole the lack of tariff income blows in his already shitty budget. He was counting on that cash to offset his tax cuts for the rich. Get ready for some turbo inflation.

Of course he is. It feels like the economy is already fucked either way.

It definitely is. A lot of countries try to reduce their dependence on the US. Even if the current administration is no longer in office, the damage will be done and a lot of it will be permanent.
Serinus@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 354d
Much of our value was our stability and reliability. Every previous administration was aware of this.
The current administration just wants to get personally rich. It's such a short-sighted and stupid goal for a country's leadership.

None of this matters anymore. He has caused so much chaos and damage, it's going to take months or years to recover from this.
His tariffs have always been illegal and honestly, no company should have paid them. My company is losing thousands every shipment because of these random and stupid tariffs, i can only imagine the hundreds of thousands other companies are paying in tariff's alone.
The supreme court is owned by the GOP, so they will side with him and the country will continue to freefall into a massive depression.

Try a couple generations. If we're lucky.

The dollar might never recover, if you really wanna see what Trump has caused check how the dollar value against other major currencies has declined in the past 4 months.
P00ptart@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 354d
It will never recover. As countries stop using the dollar to trade it all comes back and creates hyperinflation. And there's no reason to believe that they would go back to the dollar for any reason. This shit is permanent.

Just switch to the Canadian dollar, you won't even hav to change the name of your currency.

SCOTUS responds by putting on knee pads and sucking Trump's micro pedo penis.

Pageantry. This is just another method of stalling them for another round of pump and dumps.

Since the appeals are letting the terrifs in place,..we will know how they will rule on how fast they take it
Slow walk: "they're going rule in his favor."
Instant emergency pickup: "they may potentially strike them down."
Think about it, there's no downside for letting this sit here since the tariffs are continuing
dugmeup@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 354d
Watch as the ruling is going to come down to saying Trump is allowed unless Congress votes to block either the declaration of emergency or the actual EO.
The end goal here is to centralise power - that is the GOP SCOTUS goal. There is no way Roberts doesn't justify this action by Trump.
They are enablers - Roe v Wade was just a test of what the US people would accept and to gauge their reaction
