Do all the tariffs just disappear?
Obviously I hope they pull the plug of tariffs but I think it would be total chaos.
I don't see how ANY court can agree that Brazil prosecuting Bolsonaro is a "national emergency" and justifies a 50% tariff. Parent

Remember, RickyJim, it doesn't have to make any sense to you at all to still be oh so real in MAGA's parallel universe - a mystical place of magical thinking where Haitians are eating the dogs and cats, Russian president Vladimir Putin is our friend, French president Emmanuel Macron is married to a drag queen, illegal immigrants comprise over half the population of California, powerful CIA lasers hidden in Chile can burn down the town of Lahaina, Donald Trump is a friggin' business, economic and foreign policy guru, a Slovenian emigre can find a rich sugar daddy and rise to become America's very first First Lady with her own soft-core p0rn portfolio, and everything bad that happens can always somehow be blamed on Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Bill and Hillary Clinton and of course, the Mexicans.
One day in the future, when my grandchildren ask me, "Oh, sage and wise Grandfather, how did America come to flounder and lose its way?" - well, that's probably as good an explanation as any.

What is more surprising to me is that France likely has a lot of information on Epstein and has kept mum. England must have a bunch of evidence too.
Speaking of France I can't believe Candace Owens is so stupid as to have done an entire multi part documentary on Macron's wife saying she is a man. I guess when you get away with lying for so long you get bolder and bolder about it. Parent

... then Barack Obama ought to likewise sue DNI Tulsi Gabbard, AG Pam Bondi, President Donald Trump and Fox News for publicly and falsely insinuating that Obama concocted "the Russia hoax" and was therefore guilty of treason.
There's certainly ample, publicly available and well-documented evidence proving the Trump campaign's ties with Russian intelligence services were no hoax. The false accusations of treason are both knowing and intentional, and the Obamas need to call them out.
The increasingly brazen impunity with which Trump & Co. continue to lie about others is, as you noted, the direct result of them having gotten away with it for so long without suffering any real consequences. It's become their go-to weapon of choice and further, that sort of behavior has been proliferating throughout the GOP.
However, there is E. Jean Carroll's $88.5 million verdict against Trump in federal court for his false public claim that she lied about being sexually assaulted by him 35 years ago, and that $787.5 million settlement which the Murdoch family and News Corp. reached with Dominion Systems after Fox News defamed that company repeatedly on the air and lied about the 2020 election results. So, there is legal precedent here. The Obamas ought to lawyer up and file suit for defamation.
Let's face it, there are really very few things more defamatory than a U.S. president and his regime having knowingly and falsely accused a political adversary in public of treason, with the clear and painfully obvious intent to damage that person's public reputation and cause them pain and irreparable harm. And honestly, the Obamas aren't the only ones being defamed here. For the country's sake, Trump & Co. need to be held to legal account.

The story of the unification of the Hawaiian Islands from an indigenous perspective; a Hawaiian war chief joins a campaign to unite the warring islands in order to save them from the threat of colonization.
Most western histories of the Hawaiian Islands declined to acknowledge the following because issues related to human sexuality were politely discouraged in polite academic discussion during the 19th century. But honestly, according to Hawaiian oral histories, it was the introduction of gonorrhea and syphilis to the Hawaiian population during Captain Cook's first arrival and landfall on the Big Island in January 1778 that earned him a far less friendly - and ultimately, fatal - reception when he returned 11 months later in November.
Why wouldn't they have the real deal. Parent
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told the Daily Mail that she feels that the Republican party has lost touch with its base, and suggested she may abandon the party entirely.
Said Greene: "I don't know if the Republican party is leaving me, or if I'm kind of not relating to Republican party as much any more. I don't know which one it is."
However it shows that the conspiracy theorists may be tiring of Trump not proving their theories. Parent
also there were no cameras in the massage room so likely there would be no compromising video from there. It seems the only compromising video if there is any would be coming from Palm Beach.
President Donald Trump told CNBC that migrants are "naturally" able to do farm work in a way American citizens can't.
Said Trump: "These people do it naturally -- naturally. I said, what happens if they get it to a farmer the other day? What happens if they get a bad back? He said, `They don't get a bad back, sir, because if they get a bad back, they die.' I said, that's interesting, isn't it? In many ways, they're very, very special people."
Archie Bunker: "What I'm sayin' is your coloreds, as is well-known, they run faster, they jump higher, they don't bruise so easy. And because of their, whaddya call it, jungle heritage, they see better - it's great for night games."
I swear, the amount of casual racism and ignorance that Donald Trump can pack into a one-minute-long public comment never fails to astonish me. This is like something Archie Bunker would have said to Mike and Gloria on "All in the Family."

"The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed the Department of Justice for files in the sex trafficking investigation into Jeffrey Epstein," the AP reports.
"It's part of a congressional probe that lawmakers believe may show links to President Donald Trump and other former top officials."
"The Republican-controlled committee also issued subpoenas for depositions with former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and eight former top law enforcement officials. The committee's actions showed how even with lawmakers away from Washington on a monthlong break, interest in the Epstein files is still running high.
Several people were filming I guess Parent
They have all but assured it's going to be boyed on.
All this Congressional vacation has done is make a news hole that's filled with Epstein. Parent
At this point nobody seems to be buying what they are attempting to be selling like Maxwell saying she didn't see Trump do anything. Which literally means nothing coming from what she considers "nothing" Parent
The number of people wanting everything disclosed is in the high 70s and low 80s.

Apparently no one cares what's better for them or they would not have been forced to vote on that awful bill.
I think this "list" is a problem for wayyyyy more that Trump. Epsteins clients were really a who's who of the richest most powerful men on earth. The literal 1%.
I think the pressure to keep them sealed is coming from a lot more than just Trump and the DOJ. We are talking about titans of tech and industry and prime ministers and presidents and royalty.
And I think it's all about to blow. Parent
Of course there is a "list" Parent
I have thought the same thing about the files. Just learned this week that Epstein set Peter Theil Up in business. Parent
