    Nobody is talking about the 100% tariff on the country of Mattel?

    Worse. We are running our country like an American football team owner.

    Do you have any idea how much coordination and planning it takes to create a reality TV show?

    I do think that it's moronically obvious that those clowns in the trump party are DEFINITELY gonna try to use an income tax cut as the card they play, just before the midterms. While, as you said, using the 10% perma-tariffs to attempt to offset an income tax cut.

    It's what they do, its their one "idea."

    Now, if the dems want to, like, FÜCKING WIN, or something, they gotta have messaging ready for this eventuality. We'll see which side gets it right.

    They had over a year to prepare for Project 2025, a public document. They couldn't manage that (and no word if they're creating their own version for 29, performative though it may be).

    You can replace the "p" with a "c" and it still works.

  16. It's there: an app that shows whether something comes from Europe and not from the US Suppose you want to use fewer American products, as a small protest to President Trump. How do you know if something comes from America, and where do you find a replacement? There is now an app for that. Built by two football friends, with the help of AI and volunteers across Europe.

    BrandSnap is very simple: install the app, scan a label of a product in the store and the app will tell you where it comes from and what European alternatives are. BrandSnap is linked to the database of Go European. More than ten thousand brands are in it. AI does the rest.

    What does it mean "comes from the US"? That it's made by an American-founded Company? I mean, even Coca Cola is produced in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America.

    OMG...here we go again. Trump spouting off again with tariff threats. Countries must make a deal within weeks (a 150 of them...lol) or tariffs will be going back up again.

    If this thread is just going to devolve into silly Canada-related puns, count me out. I want Nunavut.
