The Trump Tariffs: Economic War
K-9 replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Oval Office (Politics)'s Topics
After 33 straight months of economic growth before he took office in January, Trump has the nerve to blame the shrinking GDP in the first quarter on Biden. And I’ll bet his followers will believe it. MAGA are perhaps the most ignorant constituency in history. -

Here's the audio clip from the pink propaganda-ist Calling how a company displays pricing a "hostile act" is a special level of authoritarianism. -

Where are the free speech advocates? Are businesses not allowed to do this? Sounds a little fascist. -

Trumps fascism directed at Amazon for showing customers how tariffs impact prices. Dude isn't fit to be a Walmart greeter. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cpvrrre4zlkt "A question now about reports Amazon will soon display how much the Trump tariffs are adding to the cost of each product. Leavitt steps in, saying she just got off the phone with the president, who was talking about this. "This is a hostile and political act by Amazon," she says. She holds up what appears to be a print out of a news article with a large picture of Amazon owner Jeff Bezos, and she claims it shows Amazon is partnered with a "Chinese propaganda arm". Propaganda is everything the trump admin and Fox News are engaged in. -

They're giving polygraph tests for loyalty to civil servants who don't toe the line. They very much want us to be Russia. They are putting it under the guise of leaks... but it's our government and we're entitled to know what they're doing. https://futurism.com/trump-polygraph-lie-detector-leak -

If you need something from a store, better get it soon. Shipping orders have fallen off a cliff. We're going to see empty shelves by the end of summer. Between this tariff BS and the Executive Branch club in DC (which is disgusting), Trump really does want the this to be Russia. -
Why help ppl who are starving when we can spend 100 million on a military parade for a guy who thinks serving is for suckers and losers. Or give 6 billion for Elons space narcissism.

Key difference being that today it isn’t fear of foreign left wing ideologies like it was 100 years ago nor is it a fear of an imaginary extreme. Instead, this is far right fascist ideology being implemented in very real ways in real time right here by those sworn to protect and defend our Constitution. And it is a clear and present danger to all of us, whether we admit it or not. Whether we bury our heads in the sand or not. Fighting against it is our duty and it’s a cause worth dying for.

Donald Trump declares war on academia and Universities
LTS replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Oval Office (Politics)'s Topics
It's interesting. One might think that a considerable number of alumni would be in the more wealthy segment and potentially Trump supporters. Perhaps they've been critical of their alma matters and support Trump? The best outcome is Harvard continuing to do what it does without the Federal money demonstrating to Trump that his threats are meaningless. The worst thing you can do is capitulate to a bully. Sometimes you have to embrace the suck and demonstrate they have no power over you. Maybe Harvard has to cut a few things here or there or they get some supportive donations, who knows. But caving to Trump only emboldens him more. -
DOGE is not about efficiency. https://www.npr.org/2025/04/15/nx-s1-5355896/doge-nlrb-elon-musk-spacex-security "The new revelations about DOGE's activities at the labor agency come from a whistleblower in the IT department of the NLRB, who disclosed his concerns to Congress and the U.S. Office of Special Counsel in a detailed report that was then provided to NPR. Meanwhile, his attempts to raise concerns internally within the NLRB preceded someone "physically taping a threatening note" to his door that included sensitive personal information and overhead photos of him walking his dog that appeared to be taken with a drone, according to a cover letter attached to his disclosure filed by his attorney, Andrew Bakaj of the nonprofit Whistleblower Aid."
