Beijing imposes 84 percent duty on all U.S. goods

[cigaretteman]

Beijing on Wednesday imposed an 84 percent duty on all U.S. goods, as the world’s second-largest economy refused to back down in the face of President Donald Trump’s tariff onslaught.
“The U.S. move to escalate tariffs on China is a mistake upon a mistake,” the State Council, the equivalent of a cabinet, said in a statement. “It seriously infringes upon China’s legitimate rights and interests and undermines the rules-based multilateral trading system.”

This is an excerpt from a full story.

Moving my investment/retirement portfolio to 100% Beanie Babies may not have been my best move this week.

This might be the post of the year. I don’t think anyone could come up with a better metaphor for what is transpiring right now.

Well played, sir. 😂

Actually, Trump is just playing 10D checkers. The joke is on everyone else.

As Trump stated in his wildly incoherent speech last night, “I know what I am doing.”

Trump is toxic and deranged with his foolish trade war with tariffs
He is killing the American economy as we await a stock market crash.
Congress must act to stop his ridiculous policies and take action to
stop his stupid executive orders. We need to put Trump in a nursing
home for senile folks and give him bed rest as he spoils his Depends.

corner like a preschool child.

Or, invoke the 25th Amendment.

Or, convict on impeachment.

Either of those might save the Union, although JD Vance would probably continue to steer us into the abyss.

How Trump’s political career didn’t end after 1/6 will forever remain a mystery.

‘Muricuhns!!!

I’ve posted it many times. Trump was known. He’s the lying, cheating scorpion asking for a ride across the river. We KNEW what he was in 2015 and half the country thought and still thinks it’s a good idea to let him climb on and go for a swim.

The most amazing thing is, even after he stung the shit out of them and they’re sliding under the water, they’re still blaming the old fox who told them the scorpion would kill them.

Don't worry, Trump will clean up Biden's mess.

1/3 of GOP can't get Trump's cock far enough down their throats they are loving all of this no matter what he does or causes. 1/3 of the GOP thought he would be good for the market and voted for their retirement accounts - oops. I think another 1/3 is support their elected local leaders who are too scared of Trump to tell him he is wearing no clothes. Outliers and exceptions not doubt. But nothing is changing anytime soon.

Your order will be filled as soon as we get the factories built and the workers hired to produce your item. Florida’s new child labor laws are looking promising.

Maybe we can build debtor prisons and unlock an unpaid workforce.
