@donwinslow Because if they did they wouldn't be able to keep prices at the same level when the tarrifs go away.

Swastikas in. Pride flags out. Got it.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy, as a hate symbol. Instead, the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi-era insignia as “potentially divisive” under its new guidelines.

Besides being a completely unhinged thing to do, Trump calling for the arrest and hanging of veteran law makers for posting a video reminding service members that their oath is to the constitution and that they have a duty to refuse unlawful orders, is very telling.

No reasonable person should find what was said in that video controversial. Unless of course you have or intend to give unlawful orders.

If MAGA is upset about Arabic numerals, just wait until they find out about non-binary numbers. 😂

Total shut out of Republicans last night. Good job, America! Keep up the good work. LFG!

[VoxQuietus @voxquietus]

@SaltyGoat17 Donald Trump is currently running the most corrupt government in over a hundred years. Take the blinders off.

[VoxQuietus @voxquietus]

@Bubblebathgirl Texas and Trump started this crap. At least Newsom is putting it to a vote.

You're a hypocrite.

[VoxQuietus @voxquietus]

@shloobmm3 @teameffujoe They just did this in September to push through a batch of appointees. So they could end the shutdown down at any time. So why don't they? Caring what dems or the media think really doesn't seem to be high up on the list. So why not do it?

Ronald Reagan's pushing of Trickle Down Economics has wrecked America's middle class, but even he knew that Tarrifs were bad for everyone.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump is calling Reagan’s words in this video “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad. Watch this clip and read the full transcript:

Throughout the world, there's a growing realization that the way to prosperity for all nations is rejecting protectionist legislation and promoting fair and free competition. Now, there are sound historical reasons for this. For those of us who lived through the Great Depression, the memory of the suffering it caused is deep and searing. And today, many economic analysts and historians argue that high tariff legislation passed back in that period, called the Smoot-Hawley tariff, greatly deepened the depression and prevented economic recovery.

You see, at first when someone says, let's impose tariffs on foreign imports, it looks like they're doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs. And sometimes for a short while, it works, but only for a short time. What eventually occurs is, first, homegrown industries start relying on government protection in the form of high tariffs. They stop competing and stop making the innovative management and technological changes they need to succeed in world markets.

And then, while all this is going on, something even worse occurs. High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars. The result is more and more tariffs, higher and higher trade barriers, and less and less competition. So soon, because of the prices made artificially high by tariffs that subsidize inefficiency and poor management, people stop buying.

Then the worst happens. Markets shrink and collapse, businesses and industry shut down, and millions of people lose their jobs. The memory of all this occurring back in the 30s made me determined when I came to Washington to spare the American people the protectionist legislation that destroys prosperity. Now, it hasn't always been easy. There are those in the Congress, just as there were back in the 30s, who want to go for the quick political advantage, who risk America's prosperity for the sake of a short-term appeal to some special interest group, who forget that more than 5 million American jobs are directly tied to the foreign export business, and additional millions are tied to imports.

Well, I've never forgotten those jobs. And on trade issues, by and large, we've done well.

@MilaLovesJoe It's more corrupt than It's ever been...

@CalltoActivism Fiddling while Rome burns. Checks out.

[VoxQuietus @voxquietus]

@4minutes4peace @EndWokeness Destruction without consent of the people or within the bounds of the law is something that we should all be against no matter what is being destroyed, who is doing it, or what their reasons are.

[VoxQuietus @voxquietus]

@SenAshleyMoody Before it was done within the framework of the law and congressional approval. Trump just decided he had the right to break those laws, and people like you continue to enable him and help chip away at the rule of law at every turn. That's the issue.

[VoxQuietus @voxquietus]

@Jim_Jordan Then come up with something better.

[VoxQuietus @voxquietus]

There's a quote commonly attributed to Winston Churchill:

"You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else."

Hopefully, we're really close to being done with the "trying everything else" part.

[VoxQuietus @voxquietus]

@GuntherEagleman If ICE is breaking the law, then they should be held accountable.

If the federal government won't do it, the people will.

[VoxQuietus @voxquietus]

@SenTuberville And you have zero solutions.

[VoxQuietus @voxquietus]

@PressSec America's power lies in the constitution and it's people.

Both of which Trump is shitting on.

[VoxQuietus @voxquietus]

@Sassafrass_84 That's a photo from the Truman admin. The issue is there was zero public review and once again laws were not followed.

Sit down gaslighting Trump simp.
