The SCOTUS making another decision to make the president can in fact ignore the courts would be a semilegal way to do this.

On the other hand, it could give Trump an opportunity to back down from the tariffs.

I loved how he even managed to throw fentanyl into his response. Are his supporters still really buying that?

They'll buy whatever he sells them. They're that dumb and they're in a cult. In their eyes Trump doesn't make mistakes, and they're willing to pay higher prices for everything and make their lives extra miserable in the process because their god-king dictator says it needs to be done.

Man, those Trumpers must be complete idiots.

#### I hate the way media characterizes things. "APPEALS COURT REINSTATES TRUMP TARIFFS!"

No, morons, they simply temporarily stayed the lower court's decision while they decide whether a longer stay pending appeal is warranted. Even if they do THAT, it isn't "reinstating tariffs".

Yep. Journalism is complete garbage. Then they show pictures of Trump smiling along with the headline like he’s a winner.

Someone had a tantrum last night...

The U.S. Court of International Trade incredibly ruled against the United States of America on desperately needed Tariffs but, fortunately, the full 11 Judge Panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit Court has just stayed the order by the Manhattan-based Court of International Trade. Where do these initial three Judges come from? How is it possible for them to have potentially done such damage to the United States of America? Is it purely a hatred of “TRUMP?” What other reason could it be? I was new to Washington, and it was suggested that I use The Federalist Society as a recommending source on Judges. I did so, openly and freely, but then realized that they were under the thumb of a real “sleazebag” named Leonard Leo, a bad person who, in his own way, probably hates America, and obviously has his own separate ambitions. He openly brags how he controls Judges, and even Justices of the United States Supreme Court — I hope that is not so, and don’t believe it is! In any event, Leo left The Federalist Society to do his own “thing.” I am so disappointed in The Federalist Society because of the bad advice they gave me on numerous Judicial Nominations. This is something that cannot be forgotten! With all of that being said, I am very proud of many of our picks, but very disappointed in others. They always must do what’s right for the Country! In this case, it is only because of my successful use of Tariffs that many Trillions of Dollars have already begun pouring into the U.S.A. from other Countries, money that, without these Tariffs, we would not be able to get. It is the difference between having a rich, prosperous, and successful United States of America, and quite the opposite. The ruling by the U.S. Court of International Trade is so wrong, and so political! Hopefully, the Supreme Court will reverse this horrible, Country threatening decision, QUICKLY and DECISIVELY. Backroom “hustlers” must not be allowed to destroy our Nation!

I dont even think thats the whole screed

I watched an NBC story on a pennsylvania town that is getting crushed by his tariff war. Moron #1's family business is down to half employees but thinks Trump is making things better for future generations, just not his so it's worth it. Moron #2 is supporting a young family and is about to lose his job because he's at the bottom of seniority at his job proudly says he doesn't regret voting Trump. I mean what can you say when people are willing to tank their livelihoods for a guy that's taking them into a recession and tearing down their country for no reason other that he doesn't understand how the world economy works.

Not really surprising. Cultists will give up their own lives for the cult leader.

And this morning methinks the TACO got to him...

Two weeks ago China was in grave economic danger! The very high Tariffs I set made it virtually impossible for China to TRADE into the United States marketplace which is, by far, number one in the World. We went, in effect, COLD TURKEY with China, and it was devastating for them. Many factories closed and there was, to put it mildly, “civil unrest.” I saw what was happening and didn’t like it, for them, not for us. I made a FAST DEAL with China in order to save them from what I thought was going to be a very bad situation, and I didn’t want to see that happen. Because of this deal, everything quickly stabilized and China got back to business as usual. Everybody was happy! That is the good news!!! The bad news is that China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US. So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!

The subtext is they are probably so racist and bigoted that that is their only priority. Their own lives can collapse, but as log as they are on the same team as the guy auctioning their deepest beliefs they feel like their priority is being protected. The P in Pennsylvania does not stand for progressive. Same reason bigots go to church. The guy at the front may rape their son, but at least he hates the gays as much as they do.

Does searching for the n-word = racist though?

Then I would assume you're searching "Kendrick Lamar lyrics" and not "Randy Marsh WOF scene" word.
