    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?
    they will do what they did last time. just sit there, shrug, and take it.

    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.
    And was she elected?

    No idea if this is true but it sounds plausible. If it is true, this is what you get for electing a complete and utter moron to be POTUS. As with the tariffs and potential refunds and the hand wringing about “the process” to get money returned? No sympathy, voting has consequences.

    It's just super basic, really obvious political propaganda. It doesn't take anything clever to work on MAGA.

    Why should the US refund the importers.  The costs were passed on to the consumers and have been paid. If the tariff money doesnt go to US takes payers it is effectively transferring 150bn to the top of the money pyramid.  Almost seems like this could have been part of the plan all along.  Seriously those tariffs have been paid by the consumer anything but a refund to the taxpayers is a redistribution of wealth from the bottom up.

    Because they were assessed illegally. If your income tax rate was declared illegal by the supreme court wouldn't you want your money back? Plus interest? I would. And not all tariffs were passed on to consumers, many companies just added them to the cost of goods sold and reduced profit margins. And yes I agree that this was part of a plan as only a percentage will end up being refunded. Time value of money for the government's benefit.

    I wonder how MAGA the team is. I know Bill Guerin is, and at least the Tkachuk brothers. I listened to some of the Trump call to the team, and realize it has to be a thrill to get a call from the president after winning gold. I’m definitely not a “shut up and dribble” sort of person, and I’ve been looking forward to this win my whole life, just not sure how to feel about the whole thing, especially with Patel involved. Dude’s a big Capitals fan too, which is gross.

    I would venture to guess no current NHL player voted for Clinton, Biden, or Harris. They either voted for Trump or didn't vote (or are not American).  If there's a white house visit, I'd be stunned if anyone skips.

    That was an amazing hockey game and (kinda to my own surprise) I was pulling for the US and glad they won. Now? Now, I wished they'd lost. Watching them party with the pedo-protection class while ICE is terrorizing people back home is just too "Inglorious Basterds" for me.
