Trump has threatened a 10% tariff on all imports.

Tariffs can be used strategically, but a blanket tariff is effectively just a sales tax on American consumers.

Trump's tariff tax would cost the average family an extra $1,500 year.

@rbreich that would be a double whammy because many countries would respond with a similar tax on American exports

Call me crazy, but maybe presidents who get themselves indicted shouldn't have their criminal trials presided over by judges they themselves appointed.

@rbreich it would at least give a better impression of the administration of genuine Justice.

It’s the dog’s house, you just live there.

@georgetakei yes, people who live at the beck and call of their dog are actually living in the dog’s kennel.
Dogs are pack animals, and if you do not assert yourself as higher up than them then you become lower than them. They will do what they like and you’ll be expected to do what they want you to do .

And they will decide when to bark, who to bark at and who to bite.

@georgetakei bit risky. They’re just as likely to take your driving license.
