    Turns out the ‘fuck your feelings’ conservatives have the most fragile feelings of all.

      100%

      They’ve been projecting about how liberals are the emotional ones for decades. Mostly projection, but also because they confuse empathy with emotionalism.

        Same with their religion. I’m not religious, but their actions are blatantly anti-Christian while they cover their trucks with Jesus stickers, etc.

        Literally everything they say is projection. Pedophilia, over emotionalism, over dependence on wealthy donors… Nothing negative they say is about the other party it’s always about themselves.

        FYI. Chamberlain’s appeasement was actually quite calculated. Britain couldn’t stand up to Germany, and knew it. Appeasement brought time. It let Britain build fighters and tanks. To set up its radar defence net. To prepare for a major war.

        When it failed, as Chamberlain knew it would, he fell on his political sword. This cleared the way, and let Churchill take charge, with a clean slate, and a functional military.

        I’m hoping that current politicians are half as competent as Chamberlain was with his appeasement.

            Outside of the USA there still seems to be some competent politicians. Whether there are enough, in the right places is a different story.

            We can at least hope for the best. There’s not much else we can do.

    So, he’s back to breaking the law again? He can’t impose tariffs on Canadian goods that are protected under the USMCA.

        This came up a few months ago when people were saying “But wait, congress has power to set tariff policy”. That was true until the Smoot-Hawley act that is often blamed (probably correctly) for triggering or at least greatly exacerbating the Great Depression. After that, congress ceded tariff control to the executive. AFAIK, there’s nothing stopping congress from taking it back, but I can’t see the current congress doing that.

          there seem to be about five provisions (according to politifact) trump can use but according to the constitution tariff power lies with congress and i cant imagine any of these provisions were originally supposed to enable the president to enact tariffs quite in the way he does. I mean its obvious he is getting away with it so its a moot point either way but we can at least vent i guess.
