gatomontes99 Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 Seems like all they have to do is attach all these tariffs to the DHS funding bill, make the DHS funding bill a CR and pass it w/o the threat of filabuster. Done. Quote Don't you think that if I were wrong that I would know it?
LinkSoul60 Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 Trump is hands down and unequivocally the most obnoxious, belligerent and failure of a human being to ever grace the earth. I won't even comment on his strong points of being factually dumb as a stump and on the doorstep of senility.... The SCOTUS sides with a family-owned education company that has been in business for 110 years and the pathetic one calls them 'sleezebags'. Very presidential don't you think.... The only thing dumber than this guy are those that support him. 1 Quote

Done. How can they do that when it's not their money? Companies lined up last year to get their names added to lawsuits for tariff repayments if in fact Trump lost which he obviously did. Pritzker and Newsom told him yesterday invoices from their states are in the mail. You're going to have to find the money elsewhere. Done. Quote

No. Make the tarifs law through a CR that includes DHS funding. Then there is nothing wrong with the tariffs. Quote Don't you think that if I were wrong that I would know it?

To repeat: Canada dropped most of its counter-tariffs and what few remain are optimized to have minimal impact on Canadians.

BeaverFever Posted February 22 Author Report Posted February 22 They Did Deals With Trump to Get Lower Tariffs. Now They Are Stuck.

What you said is as accurate as they agreed to mostly exempt all CUSMA-compliant goods; Canada did not drop its retaliatory tariffs for nothing. So, you are still pissing in your face just as much.

CdnFox Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 I don't know how much of a blow it was to trump's tariff plans. He has other options and he's pursuing them. But obviously, he took it very, very personally. I'm a strange thing is he seems to be trying to punish somebody with he's new tariffs, but it's not like it was the other nations or the other party that ruled against him We will see what happens. He's going to need some support from the house in order to carry on long-term and that's the way it should be. Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."

This isn't actually true. Nobody actually signed a deal, they're all memorandums of understanding and intents. Everybody can back out of their deals no problem That's some poor reporting even for them Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."
LinkSoul60 Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 Another day another F*ck You Trump... A deal is a deal’: EU says it won’t accept increase in U.S. tariffs Feb. 23, 2026 12:09 AM ETEuro / US Dollar (EUR:USD), GF, EWG, FXB, EWU, DAX, EWI, EWQ, UKX, FKU, FGM, GREK, FLGB, EWUS, FLGR, GBP:USD, USD:EUR, USD:GBPBy: Manshi Mamtora, CFA Share Save Play(2min) Comments (156) Follow Seeking Alpha on Google for the latest stock news The European Commission said on Sunday that the U.S. must stick to trade terms reached last year, following a U.S. Supreme Court decision that invalidated earlier global tariffs. The EU demanded "full clarity" from Washington on next steps and warned that unpredictable tariffs disrupt markets and undermine confidence. EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic discussed the issue with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Saturday. "The current situation is not conducive to delivering 'fair, balanced, and mutually beneficial' transatlantic trade and investment, as agreed to by both sides," the commission, which negotiates trade policy on behalf of the 27 EU member states, said. "A deal is a deal." Quote
