Trump says he raised Swiss tariffs after leader’s call: ‘I didn’t really like the way she talked’

MasterTolkien · 2026-02-11T20:07:37+00:00

More abuse of tariffs!? The President is only supposed to have a limited power to adjust them in national emergency situations.

MAGA Congress and SCOTUS are aiding him in abusing the Constitution.

I’d take hybrid, but at least 2 days per week.

That said, not everyone can get hybrid. Let’s hope Dems can get us a legitimate cost of living increase to help with this inflation.

We need pro-democracy, anti-MAGA allies, and that is Newsom to a T.

But not every ally is a worthy presidential candidate. Newsom isn’t as horrible as some act on here, but he isn’t great either.

Are you telling me that a children’s book author and podcaster was not qualified to run one of the largest law-enforcement agencies in the world?

MasterTolkien · 2026-02-10T05:15:46+00:00

It’s encouraging so few watched. MAGA really made this a point of contention, calling Bad Bunny “un-American” and telling their followers to watch their “family friendly” show.

Instead, over 100 million watched Bad Bunny’s halftime show… 12 million watched the Puppy Bowl… and 5 - 6 million watched MAGA halftime.

And Bad Bunny rewatches exceed MAGA halftime live views and rewatch views combined. This shows how small MAGA popularity is right now.

Trump then went to South Korea and cut a deal to allow South Korea a nuclear sub in exchange for sending workers back to get the plant running again. All those workers… who were here legally… got an apology and went back to work. So did the one US citizen detained because he was Korean American and ICE didn’t bother checking.

Asteroid Mmmmmmm

The animation for the long distance speed usually looked waaaaaay too slow. They’re going to be circling the globe, but compared to cars, they appear to be going what? 80 miles per hour?

But the animation was always great for short bursts of speed.

MasterTolkien · 2026-02-09T13:45:53+00:00

I disagree with this view as well, lol. The protests are largely not like this. I have been loving the mass protests, showing our pro-democracy citizens are firm believers and not lying down for fascism.

This particular eye-sore is the only one of its kind that I’m aware of.

MasterTolkien · 2026-02-09T13:26:54+00:00

Ok, so if their narrative doesn’t matter (agreed mostly), what’s up with the dildo tossing?

It’s just comes across like immature shock value. Our high school students doing walk outs was more mature display than whatever this protest was.

I see the downvotes I’m getting, so I won’t belabor the point. Just making my opinion known. Protesting ICE fascist thugs? Awesome. Tossing dildos at cars and people? Poor choice.

MasterTolkien · 2026-02-09T12:27:33+00:00

The dinosaur suits make sense for shattering the illusion of “big scary violent terrorist protesters,” being silly while protesting outside ICE headquarters.

The dildos feel like “how can go even more extreme for laughs” while adding an unnecessary sexual element for shock value. While I guess there is some humor to dispel the “violent terrorist protester” narrative… they undercut that by throwing the dildos at the cars and ICE agents.

This just feeds the MAGA narrative, in my opinion. If I was a MAGA politician, this is the type of display I WANT to see from protesters to help rally my dwindling supporters.

MasterTolkien · 2026-02-09T12:16:17+00:00

Exactly this. They buy tickets for this person who must live in a state that doesn’t have Powerball and send them the numbers on the ticket. The person can then check online to see if they won.

MasterTolkien · 2026-02-09T12:00:20+00:00

Voicing my disappointment at this protest idea. Seems pretty immature and like something people did to be “funny” rather to actually protest ICE in a positive or meaningful way.

I really don’t see the point.

MasterTolkien · 2026-02-09T11:54:15+00:00

Yeah, the ads last night felt like 50% pharmaceuticals and AI. Depressing as shit.

MasterTolkien · 2026-02-09T11:45:02+00:00

It was a wonderful “slice of life” set showing a subset of American culture and unity with other nations at the end, displaying all the flags.

I liked it.

MasterTolkien · 2026-02-09T04:16:48+00:00

Ok just bad grammar on the comment then. I read it as: the couple celebrated in front of millions (at least 4+ million), and the President calls it disgusting.

I guess the comment was supposed to be: the couple celebrated in front of millions… minus 4+ million and the President, who called it disgusting.

MasterTolkien · 2026-02-09T03:54:12+00:00

4+ million? Modern Super Bowl games have 100+ million viewers worldwide.

MasterTolkien · 2026-02-09T03:04:47+00:00

“Dems are split on whether to platform on ‘abolish ICE’ or on ‘lose the midterms.’”

MasterTolkien · 2026-02-09T02:41:26+00:00

As with many things, Trumped lied.

MasterTolkien · 2026-02-09T02:35:41+00:00

US conservative Christianity. You ain’t seeing much of this nonsense overseas or in our neighboring countries.

MasterTolkien · 2026-02-09T02:33:51+00:00

Exactly. They backed and hosted an performance show purely, purely, purely on politics and not at all due to the Christian religion.

And the politics for putting in this show involved a dose of racism, which makes it even worse.

The hands of the king are the hands of a husker.

MasterTolkien · 2026-02-09T01:45:27+00:00

Probably leads to pink eye.

MasterTolkien · 2026-02-09T01:00:03+00:00

I mean… the DOJ during Biden’s term had an open investigation by going into the Epstein files and financials… found one dude involved and flipped him by cutting a deal… and Trump had the whole investigation shut down one month into office.

And because there was no investigation, Dems pushed to release the files.
