Just a suggestion for the IDEA BOX:

TBR already has Child Board places for categories such as "Ridiculous News of the Day".

So, why not a "Rubber Room for Never Trump Whiny Bitches"?

Well I voted for Trump. 3 times. So I'm not a never Trumper. That earns me the right IMO to criticize him. And healthy vigorous debate is as American as apple pie.

I don't think Mystery wants an echo chamber.

All great points!

It's nice to see the Pubs exercising some backbone. I didn't know they had one.

They will show "backbone" whenever part of Trump's agenda coincides with the traditional Republican agenda, as it does in the case of tax cuts.

Tariffs on us are imposed by the US Government against the US citizen and are an unbridled tax.

It's the quasi-suicidal drunk-posting that does it for me.  :beer:

Congress gave that consent back in 1934:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocal_Tariff_Act

I have to say, Trump's graphic of tariffs on us vs. tariffs on them sort of changed my mind on the subject...

Of course I never objected to any tariffs on China. But reciprocal tariffs really does seem fair. And as the US has such a massive deficit, it really does hold all the cards here.

He just needs to be careful, he's playing with fire here.

The theory that what the government gives, the government can take away. Corporations are an invention of government, a promise not to hold shareholders liable for their own company's malfeasance.

That has to end.

Really... so if my 401k holds stock in Boeing through a fund of some sort, I should be held liable if a plane crashes?

The President should not have such unilateral power to cause such harm to the economy without the consent of Congress.
