Trump MAGAThread XII: A Tarriff-ic Thread!

[Farnhamia]

We're supposed to let the consumer decide. Not the government.

Trump's essentially screwing over America's own consumers.

A shame half the consumers actually worship him for screwing them over.

He's like the weather here in Colorado. If you don't like it, wait five minutes, it'll change. Just need to get the right people in the room with him.

Okay, but the weather in Colorado occasionally gets better.

Occasionally. Reminds me of a billboard I saw outside Rapid City advertising a whiskey: "For toasting those balmy South Dakota summer nights: all five of them."

Mead is better than all of that shit :^]

I agree, though I would contend that Rumchata is better than all other forms of adult beverage.

I wish places around here sold it...

Periodic reminder that the Trump State Department has still not spent a dime of the $120 million allotted to it for countering foreign sabotage of US elections.

Also, Trump has not held a single Cabinet-level meeting on the threat of more sabotage, nor is Congress really doing much either:

Not one congressional panel looking into the Russia probe has released a bipartisan plan for how to strengthen election security, even though the 2018 primary season begins in certain states this month. The Senate Intelligence Committee, which is also investigating Russian intervention, is expected to release recommendations later this month, though that will not mark the end of its probe.

And don't even mention the sanctions, which Trump is refusing to implement.

Trump didn't understand the big words and he thought the money was his salary.

Or as it turns out the fact that Romney was specifically passed over for SecState because it would make Putin-sempai mad.

[Cannot think of a name]

Nunes identifies the real problem, comedians.


Wait, is this what started that strange “politics aren’t funny” thing? Am I late to the party? I’d check but apparently I only care this much.

I would put that "no fun allowed" robot picture on here if I knew how to add images...

I can do it for you.

Precisely! Also, could someone tell me how to add pictures?

You see when you post a comment it has the selections on top like bolded, italics, underlined, etc. Use the one that says img:

[/img]

And you put the image address in between the brackets (Note it normally is in the same line, you don't need to press enter to do it)

But ... large ones should be under spoilers. You do that like this: [start-spoiler][start-img]image address[end-img][end-spoiler]. You can change the label of the spoiler like this:

What did I just say?

. Spoilers suck as far as "special characters" go. About the most "special" character you can use is a comma.

Yup, I was right.

True. I don't think of periods as "special." That might explain the sniffling I hear when I type.

They're just as special as you and me.

You make me proud.

EU ready to respond to tariffs on steel and aluminium with a tax on Levi's jeans and bourbon whiskey.

Come at us, Trump.

You realize that without bourbon barrels to age the stuff in the Irish whisky industry will collapse, right.

I'm confident we can make whiskey without America, as we did back when we invented it.

If Trump ignores the problem really hard, maybe it'll go away.

We're fine; we have the means of autotarky in this nation should we so desire to go all the way.

And thus, this is how the Rust Belt is secured for the Right-Wing.
