The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that President Donald Trump violated federal law when he unilaterally imposed sweeping tariffs across the globe, a striking loss for the White House on an issue that has been central to the president’s foreign policy and economic agenda.

Good, but prices continue to rise every time the orange dumbfuck yaps about tariffs.

So is this an impeachable offense? Im pretty sure if i broke federal law, i would be hunted down and thrown in jail.

The Supreme Court sided with business over the US government. No surprise there. According to the law this whole action was illegal. I am surprised it was not unanimous and had three dissenters.

Where in the fuck do companies get off thinking the tariffs, paid by consumer, is going to be refunded to them!?

oh neat. so that means this ruling will be enforced right? ....right?

of course it won't. it's another dog and pony show from the US.

It's especially unsurprising that OAN (my bellwether for batshit crazy conservative stuff) aren't even reporting on this.

These people live in an entirely different universe of ignorance.

Good.

I'm sick of this indirect taxation bullshit.

Did Howard Lutnick just make millions?

I wonder how many companies were put out of business by these tariffs?

My brother in law supplied bubble tea material for bubble tea shops in both the Portland and Vegas area. He shut down 2 months ago because of the tariffs. His increased price made shops in those areas shut down and ultimately he decided enough was enough.

What is he going to do with all the imaginary revenue from the tariffs now lol?

Don’t you know the US debt went down?!

If down, really means up. To the tune of adding $2.25 TRILLION since the orange dementia fat fuck took office for the 2nd time.

So are they going to pack the far-left, woke, DEI court now?

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Okay, trump is going to be pissed about this, so why did they do it? Do they think he's going to die or are there different handlers in play here that are losing money?

[-] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

I'm wondering if contributing factor could be that he is giving himself 10 billion of taxpayer's money? He is straight stealing from us, literally to his own bank account in Qatar.

He would have to ask Congress if it weren't for the tariffs.

[-] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

They see the tide turning. And Trump will be dead by summer. Time to start positioning JD as the good guy … then they’ll start their bullshit up again…

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

I suspect you're right on the money, since their handlers are probably trump's handlers too.
