:catches gorge:
Well, there goes Chicken Taco Thursday.
Trump loves taco bowls though.
Trump is a Chihuahua. A yappy little high-strung dog barking at everything and trying to act tough, but shaking in terror and running away at the slightest threat.
“Yo quiero TACO trade.”
Come down to Skinnees, where we only serve the skin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuaJRBURRzQ
And if that wasn’t enough to start the ketchup flying:
A federal trade court on Wednesday blocked President Donald Trump from imposing sweeping tariffs on imports under an emergency-powers law.
The ruling from a three-judge panel at the New York-based Court of International Trade came after several lawsuits arguing Trump has exceeded his authority, left U.S. trade policy dependent on his whims and unleashed economic chaos.
“The Worldwide and Retaliatory Tariff Orders exceed any authority granted to the President by IEEPA to regulate importation by means of tariffs,” the court wrote, referring to the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
I would love that.
I wonder what that means for all of us that have ALREADY paid tariffs (not CHYNA)? Since the money I/we paid for the tariffs went to the US govt, will the US govt have to repay it to me?
In two weeks.
Right after he brings peace to the middle east and stops the war on Ukraine on day one of his presidency!
Is there a separate thread for all the odious pardons trump has been granting to J6 insurrectionists, corrupt politicians, and other criminals? Never mind, the news that he is even thinking of this is pissing me off, so I’ll just put it right here. How far away are we from people assassinating Dems they don’t like, thinking they’ll get a trump pardon?
Full title which is clipped in the preview window:
Trump says he will look into possible pardons for the men convicted of plotting to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer
In all seriousness, why doesn’t Trump just come right out and say he will pardon anybody who goes after a Democratic politician? Pardons are a function of the office of POTUS, so it’s an official act and is 100% legal for him to do it according to SCOTUS.
That really hits my funny bone. Cats dispersed at the sound of my guffaw.
Usually, yes but right now? Not so much. This is not your Panda Express orange chicken we’re talking about here.
The evil continues…they’re intentionally being awful:
A 2-year-old American girl has been left stateless after the Trump administration deported her alongside her family.
Emanuelly Borges Santos, known to her family as Manu, was born in a Florida hospital in 2022. She has an American passport and a Social Security card. Nevertheless, Manu and her parents, who are both undocumented, were packed onto a plane with 94 others and shipped to Brazil in February, according to a report from The Washington Post.
Another pardon.
In 2014, Hutchinson took a $20,000 bribe from Benjamin Burris, a dentist, in exchange for introducing a bill to change Arkansas’ dentistry laws

♫ T.A.C.O. T.A.C.O. Man…!
♫ I want to be… a T.A.C.O. Man…!
A pardon of the Whitmer-plotters would go a long way toward getting out that message. Even if SCOTUS has his back in any and all circumstances, he seems to be trying to retain “plausible deniability” about not (yet) being Caligula II.
As you and others here may know, the DC Appeals Court put the tariffs back in place. So no refunds in the offing.
Next stop will be the Supreme Court. Will they continue to trash the Constitution by ignoring the clear language of Article 1, Section 8, clause 1? Who would be surprised if they did?
But in case they do not–in case they uphold the Court of International Trade ruling that halted the tariffs–it may not follow that those who’ve paid the tariffs have any chance of recovering those funds. After all, this is the Trump Regime we’re talking about. Ignoring court orders is kind of standard for them.
I saw the pic again, only this time with text added: If Taco Bell doesn’t immediately make a chicken taco wrapped in a Cheeto-dusted shell, they’ve missed a YUGE opportunity.
“The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, . . .”.
Does that mean that POTUS can not also have said power?
If the bar is that you have powers unless the Constitution specifically says you don’t, then I guess I’m going to have a busy and productive weekend coming up.
