Trump's Second Term

I expect some meaningless controversy about something irrelevant to crop up. Basically another damned squirrel running across the lawn. The state of the onion address is coming up and it's already a bad experience for him with many stating they won't suffer through it because of him.
He is being called out as irrelevant before the fake news in his address.

Maybe Bad Bunny could do an alternate show for all those too smart to sit through another full-on, vomit-filled, lie fest.

This has been resolved (sort of) but never should have happened. And I wonder how many others will suddenly find questions about their citizenship when they come to register to vote.

Dallas native to receive Social Security benefits after FOX 4 report on citizenship concerns

Ramona Rakestraw, 59, had her benefits paused in October due to questions over her immigration status, despite Rakestraw living in the United States her entire life. After a FOX 4 report on her case, she will continue to receive SSI benefits.

On Friday, Trump signed a proclamation imposing the new 10% tariff under a never-used law known as Section 122, which gives the power to put in place tariffs up to 15% for 150 days, at which point Congress must step in.

It will go into effect on 24 February.

The order states a variety of exemptions, including certain minerals, natural resources and fertilizers; some agricultural products like oranges and beef; pharmaceuticals; some electronics and certain vehicles.

For many of the categories of exempt goods, the order is broad and does not specifically say what items might be exempt.

Canada and Mexico will retain an exemption under a North American free trade pact, the USMCA, on tariffs covering a vast majority of goods.

A White House official said countries that struck trade deals with the US, including the UK, India and the EU, will now face the global 10% tariff under Section 122 rather than the tariff rate they had previously negotiated.

The Trump administration expects those countries to keep abiding by the concessions they had agreed to under the trade deals, the official added.

Analysts expect the White House to also consider other tools, such as Section 232 and Section 301, which allow import taxes to address national security risks and unfair trade practices.

Trump has previously used those tools for tariffs, including some announced last year on sectors such as steel, aluminium and cars. Those were untouched by the court ruling.

Making ◊◊◊◊ up again

Trump: “We just left a very important meeting. The top person from a place called Vietnam just left my office, a great gentleman, strong and smart. He said, ‘You know, I think this means you’re allowed to charge us more tariffs than before.’ And Canada said, ‘I hope you win this decision, because if you don’t, then you’ll actually be allowed to charge us a little additional amount.’”

'A place called Vietnam'? Dementia is getting bad. Imagine if it was Biden, the media would have a field day.
 
Mike Johnson has denied the request from Rev. Jesse Jackson’s family and Democrats in Congress to allow his body to lie at the U.S. Capitol, saying this honor is reserved for presidents and certain top federal officials. In contrast, Congress previously approved a special resolution allowing conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s body to lie in honor in the Capitol Rotunda, even though he was not a president or federal officeholder.

Which alternate Marvel universe did this Tucker teleport in from? I'm guessing it's one where dissidents are compelled to attend Re-Bernie-cation Centers to have their minds wiped.
