A good moment to reflect on the fact that Congress can take the power to set tariffs away from the President if and when it wants. Right now, if I am not mistaken, the President is operating on “emergency” powers.
A good reminder that the president wasn’t supposed to have that power in the first place. This is tyranny – not the potential for it, the actuality of it.
Everything he does is because of some declared emergency. It’s ridiculous and hilarious at this point.
Tarrifs - an economic emergency (with every single country with which a tarriff is levied)
Deploying the National Guard - national emergency of foreign invasion by immigrants somehow invading the usa
Literally blowing up 4 vessels (so far) in international waters and killing civilians - a recently declared “non-international armed conflict (niac)” with the gang tren de aragua. Basically saying the country is currently at war. Also declaring gangs as international terrorists gives them the ability to indiscriminately do whatever they want according to them.
Arresting immigrants without warrants, forgoing due process and deporting to wherever the fuck they want - national emergency of foreign invasion by immigrants somehow invading the usa
Dismantling or destroying any organizations they just simply don’t like and arresting and killing, if necessary, their members - recently released NSPM-7 which basically declares anyone having just about anything to do with anything even remotely left leaning as a domestic terrorist. This includes anything “anti-American, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality” which can pretty much apply to anyone ever.

A lot of these actions can be read in the documented rise of nazi germany.
Careful. That sounds an awful lot like something a domestic terrorist would say!!! 😲
Yeah, I don’t find any of it hilarious
