Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I’m surprised Elon didn’t push for this
Might as well just declare a full-on embargo at this point
Embargo implies military action and prevents others from trading with them.
No one would go for that and the US doesn't have the power to enforce an embargo on China while it also postures against Russia and Iran.
As it stands, this is just gonna mean China exports to Europe, then Europe sells to the US at a markup.
That's why we need to do a self-embargo
Yesterday the White House announced that it was adding additional tariffs on specific product imports, in addition to the 145% tariffs. Imports from China to the US will be tariffed at rates between 145% and 245%. The highest tariff of 245% was placed on medical syringes and needles. The White House cited "the fentanyl crisis" as a reason for tariffs on China. I'm wondering if Trump thinks that China is selling needles to America exclusively for illicit drugs.
medical syringes and needles
no healthcare only tariff
this pic would probably still make trump butthurt.. the tiny hands...
makes sense, China is already at 125% tariffs on US goods, pretty much no one is going to buy US stuff there already, rising the number wont do much
Up it to 9001% for the meme, it doesn't matter anyway and you get some funny propaganda reactions from it. Libs'll love it and it's obviously totally unserious on the very face of it.
they should post a different number every hour. sometimes it shouldnt even be a number.

145%
and so on

Funny you used this particular emoji, because there is already a chicken tax in the US. It is also a tariff, logically applied to light trucks. It is part of why small trucks, like kei trucks, do not exist in the US.
oh god of course this is a thing. the US, an incredibly unfunny joke about driving a country just straight into the fucking ground repeatedly

I don't remember much from grade school but I do remember this:
Dolly Parton had boobs that weighed 69 lbs. That was 222 much so she went to 51st street and met Dr. X who performed 8 operations and then she was 55378008
(6922251x8) then flip the calculator over

I kinda want them to just egg it on. Just keep raising it by like 20% more every time Trump says a new number. He will always have to have the last word so.. like how high can we go?
