get a load of this. built into the tariffs...

"After the event, Trump also signed an executive order closing the de minimis exemption, a little-known carve out that allows packages valued under $800 to enter the US duty free. Ultra cheap retailers like Shein, Temu, and Amazon Haul use the rule as a loophole to keep prices low, and buyers don’t have to pay any taxes that would otherwise apply to their purchases. By ending the exemption, Trump could destabilize the business model that has hooked Americans looking for a deal on China-reliant online retailers." [b/]

I wonder if this will apply to groceries. you know, whole foods...

The scam that are the deportation flights

Here comes the depression

Tax revenue could drop by 10 percent amid turmoil at IRS

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/taxes/tax-revenue-could-drop-by-10-percent-amid-turmoil-at-irs/ar-AA1Bs7Yp

Treasury Department and IRS officials are predicting a decrease of more than 10 percent in tax receipts by the April 15 deadline compared with 2024, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share nonpublic data. That would amount to more than $500 billion in lost federal revenue; the IRS collected $5.1 trillion last year. For context, the U.S. government spent $825 billion on the Defense Department in fiscal 2024.

So...when does the false flag happen?

Anyone taking bets?

The slow walk to fascism just broke into a sprint

As the silent Dems sit on their hands mouth shut or hold their little signs.

Alert on this post if you choose, but if you don’t like the truth, then just keep lying to yourself that the concept of rules and decorum will still win the day.

But what should they do? Do like the repukes do to us; heckle, berate, call him a liar, chant bullshit. As long as we don’t, he will continue to believe he controls it all.

If on national tv a unified democratic congress chanted at the top of their lungs bullshit over and over, the orange asshole would get a hard taste of reality and would be put off his game and rattled.

He knows they won’t do that he knows that he can say any and all fucking halfwitted shit he wants without any repercussions at all. And that’s how he wins. If you want to fight a bully, you have to throw sand in their eyes.

I am so fucking disgusted. We were once the party that fought hard and took no shit from anyone. That party hasn’t existed for a very very long time.

And it fucking damn shows

Anyone taking bets that the orange asshole will declare a state of emergency tonight?

I’m not watching that piece orange shit, but like usual, he needs to grab the headlines now that everyone is against us.

He knows he fucked up but can’t admit that he was wrongs so he will double down in his stupidity.

Something really bad is going to happen tonight.

Hostile government takeover

The American public are the victims of a grand game of chicken

The orange assholes tariffs go into effect tonight at midnight

He’s betting that at the 11th hour both Canada and Mexico will capitulate.

He will be colossally wrong but we the people are going to be on the hook for this assholes grand fuck up.

I truly believe he smugly thinks that they are going to throw in the towel and he will be crowned god emperor extroniaire via his “brilliant” bullying, excuse me, negotiating tactics.

Over the next week, you will see him have a massive melt down over just about everything that’s even the littlest slight against him.

Why?

Because he knew they called his bluff and now he’s fucked.

Why?

Because not only will us poor people feel the squeeze, but even the rich fucks (granted it will take them a bit longer but they will feel it) and that will be the pressure from above him(his tech bro corporate jackasses).

And in the end, even the still delirious die hards will have a flickering of a light bulb above their heads about reality. Granted it will still be through the heavy gauze of cultism but they will see it.

The next month will be the make or break of this asshole admin

Because, dogebag goes through with Medicare and SS cuts, this will be the perfect storm of very very angry people to do something, not sure what, but it won’t be pretty

In the end, when history looks back at these asshole children as bulls in a China shop, they will sum it up this way, “they were too obvious, wanted it all too fast, and cut off their heads to spite their bodies”

I believe something subtle is going on with couch boy

If you rewatch the disaster of a meeting with Zelenskyy, you will notice that couchboy is subtly egging on the oranges asshole.

And by the end, the orange asshole is a raving beet red lunatic.

Two things at play, 1) couchboy is trying to make the orange asshole stroke out or 2) he’s making the orange asshole fly off the handle in such a way as to make him appear to be the unstable fuck nut that he really is. Aka trying to get the old 25th amendment going.

I’m now of the firm belief that the orange asshole won’t go full term

Just my two cents

Who we now are...

past presidents, like them or hate them, all seemed to have a common theme when they first got into office, America is the bastion of Democracy.

are we special?

when we first started as a nation, yes we were. The world will filed with kings, queens, small run dictators and colonies.

we emerged because we fought for the ideal, concept that all people (yes, original stated as men) are created equal.

it was the grand experiment. and like all experiments, you have lots of failures but also amazing successes.

but the overall concept was, we as a nation continued to push the ball forward, so that those after us will have a better tomorrow.

yes, much of this seems very much pie in the sky type thinking, but never the less, we continued to try.

then came donald trump.

nations are, for the most part, a reflection of who the people are. that concept has been slowly eroded over the past 70 years.

now the nation has become a reflection of who is in charge.

trump is a lonely, loveless man, who has no real friends, only transactions and surrounds himself with yes men.

if someone disagrees with him or points out his lies or out maneuvers him, they become a pariah to trump.

but ironically, this is what trump does to himself. makes himself, not in the martyr (as many of his followers believe), but a pariah.

as such, we as a nation have become one too.

he has pushed away our allies (he has no friends), he has no compassion (he makes fun of people), everything is a transaction (because money is all he feels he can control), he believes he's right all the time (only yes men need apply)

while, we the people on the ground (so to say) experience life and the U.S. much much differently, he only sees it as something he can take from and control.

the purposely dismantling of our government only dovetails into project 2025, the mechanisms to get there are pure trump.

greedy, selfish, loveless, ignorant, base and cruel.

this is how the world sees us now. this is who we now are.

and my heart breaks.
