@1MrFantasy @PressSec Honestly, atp? I wouldnt put anything past them. Im a little skeptical at least. I could see it being a for real attempt bc of how divisive Trump is. But, I totally wouldnt put this past him & his admin setting this up. Im js it does seem to be an act in their wheelhouse

[Lucsja @Lucs_ja]

@Mind0fMunitions @DualityXrp @SenWarren I just have a strong aversion for dictators. I also like the rule of law. You seem to want one & to throw out the other...sadly in that order.

[Lucsja @Lucs_ja]

@Mind0fMunitions @DualityXrp @SenWarren Lincoln preserved the union & ended slavery. He expanded powers during a time of crisis. The majority of crisises we're facing now are of Trump's own making. Trump is not Lincoln, by any stretch of the means.

[Lucsja @Lucs_ja]

@Mind0fMunitions @DualityXrp @SenWarren Whataboutism. Maga/Repubs control Congress. Congress has power of the purse. Trump can work w/his Repub Congress as laid out in the Constitution. No kings.

@johndestes @Samvic501 @TomRose @JDVance It's high school level civics. Gtfo here w/the "oh, please."

[Lucsja @Lucs_ja]

@Mind0fMunitions @DualityXrp @SenWarren Smh. You sound like you want a dictator. Thats on you. Under our Constitution Congress holds power of the purse, not the executive branch. Trump can work w/his maga/Repub Congress to pass tariffs or be limited in his use.

[Lucsja @Lucs_ja]

@DualityXrp @Mind0fMunitions @SenWarren I didnt ask what generation you were, nor do I care. Also, overall boomers tend to vote Republican, especially in recent elections. What you said is not true about them. Im not debating you on anything else you've said. It doesnt negate Trump doesnt hold unilateral auth to tariff

[Lucsja @Lucs_ja]

@Mind0fMunitions @DualityXrp @SenWarren Not even close. Boomers support everything Trump does typically. They're his largest voting block. I dont support Trump's blatant grab for unilateral authority.

[Lucsja @Lucs_ja]

@Mind0fMunitions @DualityXrp @SenWarren Congress is controlled by Republicans/maga, both the House & Senate. Trump's last term they were the most ineffective Congress in modern history. Im only interested in separation of powers delineated in the Constitution. Congress controls the purse. Vote out reps you dont like.

[Lucsja @Lucs_ja]

@DualityXrp @Mind0fMunitions @SenWarren There are time limits, investigations, & eventual Congressional approval required under the laws he is attempting now. His power to use tariffs is short term & limited. Trump HAS to work w/Congress if he wants longterm tariffs on countries

[Lucsja @Lucs_ja]

@DualityXrp @Mind0fMunitions @SenWarren There is no source. A random screen shot doesnt count & even grok concurs w/what Im ssaying. Try consulting that.

[Lucsja @Lucs_ja]

@DualityXrp @Mind0fMunitions @SenWarren Technically inflation is at 2.5% currently & has been at 2.7% for the 12mos cumulative in 25' (not under 2%). And it doesnt negate that tariffs increase costs of imported & domestic goods. & you're still ignoring The power of the purse (tariffs) isn't in Trump's purview.

[Lucsja @Lucs_ja]

@DualityXrp @Mind0fMunitions @SenWarren I only said tariffs are not deflationary. You also ignore all my points that tariffs ARE a tax (per scotus), & out of short term use, Congress holds the power of the purse, not potus. Trump needs to work w/Congress if he wants longterm tariffs on countries.

[Lucsja @Lucs_ja]

@DualityXrp @Mind0fMunitions @SenWarren Im not wholly against tariffs, dont get me wrong. That doesnt negate they ARE a tax on the ppl (scotus just ruled theyre a tax). Also, out of short term used, Trump needs to work w/Congress. Congress holds the power of the purse, not potus.

[Lucsja @Lucs_ja]

@DualityXrp @SenWarren Tariffs are taxes on imported goods. The ppl pay those tariffs/taxes. Tariffs also raises the price of domestic goods. They are not deflationary. Companies just pass down the cost to consumers. They only minimally lower the deficit.

[Lucsja @Lucs_ja]

@Bubblebathgirl @SenWarren Other tools (laws) have time limits, investigations, & eventual Congressional approval required to keep them in place. Essentially what scotus told Trump is to work w/Congress if he wants to tariff other countries longterm.

[Lucsja @Lucs_ja]

@DualityXrp @SenWarren Tariffs are still a tax on U.S. citizens, no matter how you cut it. The ppl here pay for them, not other countries...as Trump & maga tries to claim.

[Lucsja @Lucs_ja]

@CHERYLDAVI54874 @SenWarren Weird. You do know Republicans control the House & Senate, right? It is truly amazing how maga can blame dems for everything still when they control all 3 branches of govt.

[Lucsja @Lucs_ja]

@PSpiceGames @Just_Whitey @catturd2 Thats true, but humans are contributing to climate change. We're trashing the planet. When we have the knowledge to do better we should. Most ppl wouldnt trash their house & say oh well. They'd clean it up & stay on it. We should treat our planet better. It's the only 1 we have

[Lucsja @Lucs_ja]

@catturd2 What's the joke? I dont see anything funny. Maybe that's just me who doesnt think a potus ignoring scotus & taxing the ppl by a means scotus just ruled was not in his purview to do so, is funny though.
