You have also exposed yourself to not know how to do basic things.

feedthenation: Shared from an economics and commodities website:
This is one of the best explanations I’ve seen on tariffs, by my economics colleague Tim Salmon.
Trump claims his tariffs will do two things: (1) raise $6 trillion paid by other countries, and (2) spark a manufacturing boom and create high-paying jobs. But both outcomes can’t happen. If we collect $6 trillion, it’s because we keep buying foreign goods—no manufacturing revival. If we revive manufacturing and stop buying imports, we don’t get the $6 trillion.
Could there still be a manufacturing boom with job growth? No and no. The idea that we “don’t manufacture anymore” is false—U.S. manufacturing is at record highs. But jobs are down because automation took them, not Mexico or China. More manufacturing won’t mean more jobs—it’ll mean more robots working overtime.
Even if you wanted to build a factory now, you’d hit problems. All the components are now tariffed, making it more expensive than before. Your inputs are more expensive too, and you’d struggle to hire: we’re near full employment, and immigration is being cut.
So what about that $6 trillion? Everyone knows tariffs are paid by importers—us. Could foreign countries bear some of that cost? In theory, yes—if we had cheaper alternatives. Say Canadian steel is tariffed and we can buy cheaper Chinese steel, Canada might lower its prices to stay competitive. In that case, Canada absorbs some of the tariff burden. But Trump tariffed everyone. No alternatives. So we pay. A lot more, for a lot less.
Can’t we just buy American steel? We don’t produce enough. And with demand up and competition reduced, U.S. producers will raise prices. Again: we pay more, get less, and don’t create jobs.
There’s no coherent argument for this policy. If you’re thinking “give the guy a chance,” know this: the economics are clear and the historical record is long.
Why is Trump doing this? I can’t say. But it fits a pattern: punishing those he thinks wronged him—law firms, universities, states, and now countries. This is not economic policy. It’s a protection racket.
If you can make a case for how this could achieve its stated goals, I’d love to hear it. So far, no one in the administration has. If you’re wondering about fairness—“don’t other countries tariff us?”—that’s a fair question, but it’s complex and deserves its own post. (Short version: the U.S. has spent decades lowering global barriers to trade and shaping rules in our favor. That’s part of why other countries resent us.)
Finally, this post isn’t about party politics. It’s just math. Republicans long opposed tariffs; Democrats started shifting under Clinton. Before Trump, it was largely GOP orthodoxy to oppose this kind of policy. It’s not ideological—it’s economic fact.
We need competence in policymaking. If this trade war escalates, it could rival the 2007 collapse in global damage. The tragedy? It’s preventable. Republicans: please rein him in. The world needs you. Good post! |

ItooWorWor: Totally!
It’s like they have a special ticket to the Delulu Club! Or who wouldn't want to live in a world where angels delivers pizza and facts don't matter But atleat we get to stick to reality while they do their thing. It's still surprising to me that millions of people voted for a degenerate convict who lies whenever he opens his mouth, told them tariffs were tax cuts and couldn't even explain the rest of his policies. But what bothers me even more is that Republicans in Congress can easily stop this by taking back their powers, like the tariff power. But instead they cower and rationalize it, though they are smart enough to know most of what Trump says is BS. And for once, we can see what happens when the Dems have no power and can't be the Adults in the room. |

cococandy: Yep. The media have cowered and kissed the ring. They can’t report on the truth anymore or face Donald’s wrath. He’s doing it to the law firms as well. Anyone who feels unjustly targeted for exercising their freedom of speech will find a hard time getting competent legal representation because the law firms are cowering in fear of retaliation from him. That’s the textbook definition of fascism. That’s the greatness we were told to anticipate.
This isn’t the first all state protest against him btw. All 50 states protested against him last month (not to this degree) but there was statistically significant representation in all states. Major news outlets didn’t carry the story either.
This is his definition of unbiased media. Media that only speak what he wants them to. Like a 16th century king of some sort. I hope the amount of protests in the streets gave everyone a different perspective about cotowing to Trump. |

This is your president 😭🥲 I wonder what foreign leaders think when they read this stuff. Or even when they saw the formula for "tariff" he used to crash the global economy. We are very weaker for it. If Americans can't be trusted to vote intelligently, I'm sure other countries won't rely on us much longer. |

This is the person you are breaking your neck for. Why are you guys in love with criminals? Listen, you haven't even shown enough of a proficiency with the English language to understand what you read, let alone to read nor understand a legal brief. Furthermore, you don't even have a basic understanding of US law or the purpose of due process to opine. Most of the shit you write on this sounds uneducated. What you posted is the government's pleading to the court. The whole point of due process is to make the government prove what they are saying, and the court, whether it be a judge or jury is the final arbiter of that. The Judge seeing all the information in the record ruled that the government had to return him. This is a footnote from her ruling. Defendants did not assert—at any point prior to or during the April 4, 2025, hearing—that Abrego Garcia was an “enemy combatant,” an “alien enemy” under the Alien Enemies Act, 50 U.S.C. § 21, or removable based on MS13’s recent designation as a Foreign Terrorist Organization under 8 U.S.C. § 1189. Invoking such theories for the first time on appeal cannot cure the failure to present them before this Court. In any event, Defendants have offered no evidence linking Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or to any terrorist activity. And vague allegations of gang association alone do not supersede the express protections afforded under the INA, including 8 U.S.C. §§ 1231(b)(3)(A), 1229a, and 1229b. |

GloriousGbola: a bank sms gives them an idea of the volume of cash in your account. which will guide their harassment. same strategy of kidnappers and robbers who run around with POS [used to be a thing]
i am not referring to google glass per se - my understanding is there are stealth recording devices - which may include fake glasses with small cameras
harassment is partially about intimidation and feeling out if you are a yahoo guy. a yahoo guy knows the drill and will cooperate as his aim is to get away from them. a honest citizen is more lively to drag with them or show some level of resistance as long as it is not in the middle of the night with no witnesses .
the shakedown has always been there. it is what end sars was about. it is just the the key targets are young men , then men in corollas and lexus rx. usually with plaited hair and skinny jeans.
my son was going to a party at a friends place last weekend. i booked an uber for him and warned him repeatedly that police would almost certainly stop them as it would likely be two young men in a car. and yes they did. but the moment he flashed his nokia 110 phone, they were instantly deflated. i take him on errands and i always tel hm - if it is you driving alone, these police will not be friendly or polite . they will be mean, nasty and hostile.
they want a smart phone with cash flow and crypto app and wayo instagram and fb accounts. they know exactly what they are looking for
some years back i was migrating a friends laptop from win 7 to win 10 and i found a fkton of obvious 419 media on the device. apparently his junior brother has been doing nysc and he had loaned him the laptop. Never thought that about the sms. Rarely even look at them. That's a good point. I have never trusted those POS people. I always wonder why someone wouldn't just skim your card details and then you pin, create a fake card and then use it. Happens in the US as well. It does sound like what black parents tell their children in the US about the police. It's sad but unfortunate. Nigeria, does have a real problem with Yahoo boys. It's a tough circle though and I assume more people would be more amenable if the police weren't themselves fraudsters. As to the shakedowns, normally when I get stopped I usually say, "Hey, how's it going" in my most American accent and they go about their business. This last trip though, they were more aggressive, which was surprising. And so for expediency the driver would just give them some cash. |

Ruling from Judge denying the stay the Trump Admin filed on his order to return the person they sent to El Salvador. A lot of people like Bemeruca (for whatever reason he has) have spent a lot of time lying about what happened. Read what the Federal Judge says happened based on the evidence he saw. It is absolutely chilling behavior. ... That silence is telling. As Defendants acknowledge, they had no legal authority to arrest him, no justification to detain him, and no grounds to send him to El Salvador —let alone deliver him into one of the most dangerous prisons in the Western Hemisphere.
Having confessed grievous error, the Defendants now argue that this Court lacks the power to hear this case, and they lack the power to order Abrego Garcia’s return. ECF No. 11 at 3. For the following reasons, their jurisdictional arguments fail as a matter of law. Further, to avoid clear irreparable harm, and because equity and justice compels it, the Court grants the narrowest, daresay only, relief warranted: to order that Defendants return Abrego Garcia to the United States. ... But even if the Court considers the thorny question of “custody” as it pertains to Abrego Garcia’s habeas claim (Count V), the Defendants are not out of the woods. They do indeed cling to the stunning proposition that they can forcibly remove any person— migrant and U.S. citizen alike —to prisons outside the United States, and then baldly assert they have no way to effectuate return because they are no longer the “custodian,” and the Court thus lacks jurisdiction. As a practical matter, the facts say otherwise. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mdd.578815/gov.uscourts.mdd.578815.31.0.pdf

When I read the transcript of the hearing for the El Salvadorian that was removed, I thought to myself this DOJ prosecutor is going to get fired because he was being too honest(for the Trump admin) with the judge. A few days later he has been put on indefinite leave. A senior Justice Department immigration lawyer was put on indefinite leave Saturday after questioning the Trump administration’s decision to deport a Maryland man to El Salvador — one day after defending the move on behalf of the department in court.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche suspended Erez Reuveni, the acting deputy director of the department’s immigration litigation division, for failing to “follow a directive from your superiors,” according to a letter sent to Mr. Reuveni and obtained by The New York Times.
Mr. Reuveni — who was praised as a “top-notched” prosecutor by his superiors in an email announcing his promotion two weeks ago — is the latest career official to be suspended, demoted, transferred or fired for refusing to comply with a directive from President Trump’s appointees to take actions they deem improper or unethical.
Under questioning by a federal judge on Friday, Mr. Reuveni conceded that the deportation last month of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who had a court order allowing him to stay in the United States, should never have taken place. Mr. Reuveni also said he had been frustrated when the case landed on his desk. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/us/politics/justice-dept-immigration-lawyer-leave.html
