@justinamash I'm fine with raising taxes via tariffs as long as there is an equal or greater reduction in income taxes. Taxing consumption rather than income will give Americans more incentive to earn more and consume less.
@FLGibsonJr2@jeffreytucker If it is good national policy, take it a step further and let U.S. States place tariffs on other states. California could place tariffs on things made in Texas and vice-versa. No, tariffs aren't good policy. At any level.
@ComicDaveSmith If the country's response to cocaine being left in the WH is to shake our heads and joke about whether it was Hunter's or Kamala's, people shouldn't be spending decades in prison for the exact same substance.
Also, I'm pretty sure it was Kamala's.
I know @RealSpikeCohen made this point when the “scandal” first broke but I can’t stop thinking about how disgusting this cocaine at the WH story is. Lazy Republicans are in love with talking about it because it makes Biden look bad and it’s the perfect excuse to not talk about anything that actually matters.
No one actually cares that there was cocaine at the WH, and if you think there haven’t been hard drugs used by at least some members in every administration then you are operating at a level of naivety that I probably can’t snap you out of.
The actual scandal is that the federal government has been at war with this substance for fifty fucking years. Every city in every state has people sitting in cages for decades for the crime of having or selling this substance, yet when it hits the WH, no one will be punished because they know it doesn’t really matter. Every branch of government, every news organization has people who will be using cocaine today, in it. They’ll be fine but poor people will literally have their lives ruined over it.
However much you hate our government, it’s not enough.

THE BANK RUN MANIFESTO
Fellow Americans, the time has come for us to unite and take a stand against the encroaching threats of WW3, financial collapse, political persecution, censorship, and crypto bans. We must recognize that change won't come from protests or the political process. It demands our collective courage to engage in mass civil disobedience. Let us come together, boldly say NO, and take action to dismantle the corrupt system that seeks to undermine our freedom.
Welcome to the Bank Run Manifesto – a call to action for us all.
We face a grave reality: protests and the ballot box have failed to address the pressing issues of our time. As we stand on the brink of global conflict, economic ruin, and increasing control over our lives, we must unite and take matters into our own hands. Consider the following five areas of oppression:
1. Verge of WW3: Our government continues to escalate tensions with China and Russia, despite overwhelming public opposition. Voting has proven ineffective against the Deep State, and we must starve the fiat currency that fuels war.
2. Financial Collapse: The US Dollar is on the verge of collapse due to economic mismanagement, unsustainable debt, and government corruption. By embracing self-custody crypto, gold, and silver, we can protect ourselves and demand a new, more equitable financial system.
3. Political Persecution: The recent arrest of former President Trump on hush money charges highlights the abuse of power at play. Protests have been manipulated, but a bank run sends an unmistakable message: overreach will not be tolerated.
4. Censorship: Douglass Mackey's trial for posting a meme and the proposed RESTRICT Act illustrate the erosion of our First Amendment rights. By defunding the institutions behind these attacks, we can resist the encroaching tyranny.
5. Crackdown on Cryptocurrency: Congress will not willingly relinquish its control over fiat money. By embracing crypto, gold, and silver for day-to-day commerce, we can challenge this monopoly and secure our freedom.
Our call to action is simple: participate in a bank run, exchanging your dollars for alternative assets like cryptocurrencies, gold, and silver. Then, tell three others to do the same and encourage them to spread the word to three more people. Just as the 3% of the population who fought in the American Revolution made a profound impact, so too can we transform our society through collective action.
It is time to initiate a bank run that shatters the foundations of control and reclaims our financial destiny. As we come together, undivided by the shackles of prejudice and discord, we become an indomitable force. We stand for liberty, for autonomy, and for justice.
Together, we can break free from the shackles of centralized control and forge a future that values individual sovereignty, liberty, and justice for all. Stand with us, take control of your assets, and embrace the power of the people! Let our collective action echo through history, inspiring generations to come. The time is now – join us in this vital act of civil disobedience and reclaim the destiny that belongs to each and every one of us.
