And then Congress will do nothing.
Congress went to the store for cigarettes and never came back.
Well, “stayed” or paused is more appropriate, not “overturned.”
Congress doing nothing is better than the alternative of them just doing something, anything.
There’s an old line about this. Congress gets told “Don’t just sit there; do something.” What would often be better is if Congress heard “Don’t just do something; sit there.”
why do you have Congress?
you have a Dictator of unsound mind running it solely alone and unchallenged...

Tim Cook: Move everything to USA just to make iPhone right here?
Trump: Yes and you won't have tariff at all.
Tim Cook: Try moving your Trump Tower in NYC brick by brick, tile by tile and window by window to Florida and assembly it piece by piece from ground up.
Trump: That'd take some years to do it all!
Tim Cook: I rest my case.
Trump: Yes and you won't have tariff at all.

how embarrassing to admit you voted for him...
you arent alone. but honestly, you had a choice. a better choice.
would you vote for again?
I had a choice - a better choice. Never vote for any democrat at ALL.
the answers arent getting any better....
a cat or dog (unless they were all eaten) would have been better than Trump.
the apathy of voters not using their power to vote him away says an awful lot.
how disconnected are you all from reality?
my cousin lives there with her husband and two kids. in Calfornia.
she says the lack of thinking and believing nonsense is hard to understand.
the fact she can send her kids to school and has to worry they wont come home ... a weekly event.
her son knew a kid who was shot so it isnt even an abstract concept. it's "reality"...
In my place they call it as Judiciary Overreach! Judiciary generally do not have any accountabilities(at least in India) and their appointments of Supreme Court judges are fundamentally flawed Engish Collegium system and NO Judge can be prosecuted even if you catch hold them in the 8K 70MM Screen while taking bribes! They have the immunity even the Prime Minister or the President does not have!
Huh! I was right, only took until page 5 (or was it 4?)...
Now lets play "how many times in total will he flip flop on tariffs"
I'm going to start with 6
No one except god himself will ever convince me that either trump is a total self centered moron who is too stupid to realize these tariffs are the dumbest idea in all of economic history (likely because he is dumb as a bag of rocks) , OR this is a global pump and dumb scheme for he and his uber rich "Friends" (i put that term in quotes because i don't believe any sane person who isn't using him for their own benefit in some way can be actual genuine friends with the bastard)
Ive said it before and i will say it again, the guy simply does not care about anyone but himself and will say what ever he has to say to get what he wants out of you (in this case that was your vote) then the moment you served your purpose your completely useless and disposable as a human being to him.
I have absolutely zero doubt in my mind he would tank the global economy, put millions if not billions of people into debit or worse, if it meant lining his own pockets in the process and sleep soundly as a newborn baby that very night not feeling a single ounce of guilt or remorse for all the jobs he ended, all the people he bankrupted with his tariffs, all the people that will go hungry or lose their homes, etc.
The man is the most soulless heartless human being ever to walk the face of this earth. He has never ever shown any genuine empathy towards anyone ever, only fake empathy when like whats going on in Ukraine right now, and the only reason he's mad at Putin is because Putin is making him look bad, and not because of all the innocent people dying.
Remember, this is the same guy who was bragging on the news on September 11, 2001 that trump tower was now the largest building in the city. (look it up if you dont believe me).
He wasn't concerned that thousands of people just died...he was so willing to exploit the situation to make himself look good by swooping in saying he himself would rebuild the world trade center and plaster his name all over it before the smoke was even cleared and the rubble was still burning!
If he keeps these tariffs somehow, none of us will be able to buy ANY apple products at reasonable prices (which they already are almost unreasonable)
If he passes that big beautiful bill, anyone on any form of assistance will suffer greatly and he will practically for all legal purposes be a king and could do what ever he wants and thats not an exaggeration. Thats not the media blowing things out of preportion...thats not me being a bias left or right wing nut job (I dont belong or hold any loyalty to any political party what so ever)....those are facts.
Im telling you, the man will sell out this entire country, and the global economy in a heart beat and make us all suffer regardless of if we voted for him or not, to enrich himself.

You're very correct.
There is ample evidence of this going back for basically his entire adult life.
That's actually the exact opposite of how a dictatorship works, but don't let being accurate get in the way of being dramatic.
Which I'd be all for. Because nothing would ever be done. You can't get them to agree on a budget let along figure out each and every rule needed to keep the bureaucracy running.
Won't all phones be subject to the tariff, so they won't get a different brand which is subject to the same tariffs, they'll just not buy a new one at all.
Meanwhile most people (the rest of the world) will be buying the usual phones as normal, unless companies try to subsidise the US phones by raising the rest of the worlds prices. If so then people will jump to the companies that don't as they don't want their hard-earned money just going to line the pockets of the US government due to their massive import taxes.
If they did impose these tarriffs maybe they could finally afford a decent healthcare system in the US with the massive amount of taxes they'd get? Or is that too left-wing and all the money will just line the pockets of Trump and his buddies instead?
Shhh... you'll upset people making weird drawings about Mexican food for some reason.
Yes! Do people know how many 'emergencies' we are currently under. Almost 50 of them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_emergencies_in_the_United_States
Our system doesnt work like India’s, the court in question is *literally* called the Court of International Trade because this is their purview, not overreach, and they’re checking actual presidential overreach
Eh, sort of. The appeals court paused the decision of the CIT so they can analyze the root “emergency” declaration Trump is trying to use to justify his violation of Article 1 before changing anything, I have my doubts the ultimate decision is going to go Trump’s way
Where did you get that summary of the student loan things? As best I can tell, SCOTUS ruled the first loan forgiveness plan was an over reach which was proceeded by a different plan. The second plan was to reduce monthly minimum payments + changing the number of payments made before a loan could be discharged (which already existed).
For the record, I don’t agree with either plan for loan forgiveness. However saying that it was ignoring SCOTUS is a stretch. Different schemes, both going through legal challenges, with the first being struck down and the second not far behind. Discharging federal loan debt isn’t new and seems to be constantly changing. I’m not in favor of supporting personal fiscal irresponsibility. I also believe compassionate relief should be available when appropriate.
The can start calling me Commissar, because I hold similar political ideals.
The Court said he can't do loan forgiveness for everyone, so he didn't. He narrowed his focus and used existing federal programs to pay off student loans of people who were scammed by fake universities. That was well within his authority, since the Court said nothing about that. Heaven forbid that you should oppose grifters.
Take a look and read what the CIT is basing their decision on. I took the time to read and came away with “WTF is the CIT thinking?!”. They met none of the standard reqs for this type of a decision.
IMO, the CIT is seriously in over their head.
