Has anyone brought up, in a serious, on the record way, that we are not at war, and the president doesn't actually have tariff powers right now?
so weird little quirk of american politics. no one actually knows what wartime powers the president has access to since we never withdrew our declaration of war or signed any peace treaty for the Korean war. it's how the american military apparatus has been, legally, allowed to be employed in weird bullshit like the gulf war. it's just one of those loopholes both sides left open in case they wanted to use it, and then a fascist, to no one who pays attention's surprise, leapt right through the loophole.
We never declared war in Korea.

It's almost as though the US is run by a buffoon and his idiot friends.
I’m pretty sure that the trump regime spun two gameshow wheels: one to pick a country and another to pick a tariff percentage.
It's almost like the entire thing is performative bullshit
he probably got mad because they put pickles on his big mac.

Lichen can lichen my ass
They did state that the reason for doing this April 2nd was because of, well, April 1st.
