The predators will always side with their king, plus we know Thomas and Alito are compromised. What we don’t fully know is to what extent. Rumour has it that there’s a whole lot of kink going on.

pro america content is impeaching trump and destroying the maga element that comprises this entire administration.

when is he not furious?

it is amazing to me how the media normalizes trump's behavior and his moods. he is furious? it is because he has the emotional control of a 7 year old that was told no for the first time. why does maga like this about him? it seems super weak and childish to me and we get to read about how angry he is every single day while he falls asleep in cabinet meetings. you know, the important stuff that a normal head of state needs to pay attention to.

Tariffs struck down....6-3

Yahtzee

so what does this mean? do we get our money back or nah?

Yes. But you will need a lawyer to handle the process. Unfortunately, the Court did not address the administrative process to obtain refunds. But the opportunity is there.

From Letter From An American:

While the U.S. added 1.46 million jobs in 2024, it added only 181,000 in 2025. Manufacturing lost about 108,000 jobs in 2025.

Who needs jobs? We have tariff $$ coming in by the billions 😂

do you really think in a country where 74 million people voted for trump, a criminal capitalist, that AOC could be president? maybe in the future, but I don't see it in the next 5 years.

This country has proven we aren't ready to elect a woman as President (and that backwards thinking has given us Trump twice), so AOC has no shot in 2028. She's only 36, so maybe in the future, but definitely not soon.

The 2016 election disproves this as the female candidate received nearly 2.9 million more votes than her male opponent.

Yeah, theres so many factors that go into a loss, gender is a minor reason.

Certain Trump tariffs implemented under the Economic Emergency Powers Act declared illegal by the Supreme Court. But no direction provided on how importers can seek refunds of unlawful duties paid. 170 page court decision.

Why would the court need to provide that? The admin created the mess...they need to figure it out.

Arguably they should have thought about this ahead of time.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) is demanding answers regarding a disturbing tip received by the FBI in 2016 that includes allegations of the “sexual exploitation of a minor” involving President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.

“Why are folks not asking more questions about this FBI complaint in the Epstein Files?” Stansbury wrote early Saturday morning in a social media post on X, alongside a link to an FBI tip that was published last month by the Justice Department.
In the tip, an individual who is identified as an attorney contacted the FBI on behalf of their client, whose name is listed as “Jane Doe.” According to the apparent attorney, their client was “enticed” to cross state lines to visit Epstein and Trump in New York “to perform sexual acts on both adult men at special parties hosted by Epstein,” a series of incidents that allegedly occurred when Doe was 13 years old.

They had the power to direct that all tariffs be refunded. One sentence. The DOJ even stipulated this fact in a lower trade case. But SCOTUS left it to the government to administer the process, which will probably have a negative impact on US importers.

Alright Congress. The Courts just ruled that you do have powers under our system of government. The President heard that and then went ahead with another 15% blanket tariff. What are you going to do? Stay irrelevant?
