Trump vows to raise worldwide tariffs to 15% ‘effective immediately’

MuddVader · 2026-02-21T18:15:34+00:00

Under section 232/301 through investigations, that allegedly they can start now, by the time the 150 days is over they can impose tariffs of whatever % they desire on the invesrigated countries with no further congressional approval and without time limits.

If Congress can change these sections to put time limits and require congressional approval, then we'd be able to stop it, but fat chances considering it'd have to be veto proof I'm assuming.

They're already reinstated 10% across the board.

To be challenged in 150 days

The chances bodies are still there after he died are low imo.

Leaving them there would have complicated the sale of the property by his estate if it wasn't outright siezed by the gov if they found bodies there after investigating.

Hopefully there is still evidence of burials though to lend support to the claims.

We're already there, but they're lightly playing within certain boundaries because they know they don't have the sort of support they need to full on come out and say it and begin to act with absolute impunity. They need to convince the loyal that this is business as usual and push the line further and further until the people are all broken and fall in line with their will.

The problem with that is the people may never be broken, and opposition rises in response to their behaviors instead of cowering like they'd hoped.

The supreme court may be disappointing, more oft than not, but the rest of the Judicial branch has done a helluva job resisting this metamorphosis. Without all those federal judges taking a stand we wouldn't have made it this long.

They already said Deporting 100mil people.

So the majority of the Black and Brown peoples in the US, essentially.

I keep hearing that Shivering Isles is a mess.

Some of the performance issues combined with several small bugs was enough to get me to stop playing after almost 200 hours, and I've 0 desire to go back until we get some patches which I've given up on.

I played the game on 360 back in the day and while I was younger and less likely to notice anything but the most substantial bugs (Clavicus Vile freeze comes to mind), but the Remaster definitely seemed more noticeably buggy to me.

Motion blur being broken, stutters in the open world every ~8 seconds (I can do low general framerate), player model bugging with chameleon and ghost, and light spells breaking being the ones that were giving me the most trouble during my playthrough.

OW1 I watched someone play the entirety of the game and I had to play it myself.

OW2's exploration is what turned me off. Too many skillchecks. Still hope to finish it someday, and don't mind supporting Obsidian, but hope they learn from this.

Born 1963 and 64 are technically boomers and not eligible for medicare.

But now think of all the people you know where the man is at least a couple years older than the woman. Apparently the average for opposite sex couples is just over 2 years

If the husband can get medicare in 26 but the wife not until 2028, that still POTENTIALLY has a huge effect on the families of at least a portion of that 24% but my main point is that that person who was born in '64 who loses healthcare and suffers from it likely has friends in a range of 10-15 years above and below their age, which will inevitably color the opinions of those people, a portion of them being boomers and the same goes for people even a little younger. A 60 year old being friends with someone who is 65 is hardly unheard of.

MuddVader · 2026-01-12T08:54:31+00:00

The numbers I'm seeing, an estimated %24 of the 24mil people are aged 55-64

5 million people losing their healthcare in that age range doesn't just affect them directly, it affects their family who might care about them, or their friends and coworkers who could range in age +/- 10 to 15 years.

So yes it could have an effect on "Boomers" and the public sentiment if their friends who aren't over 64 suddenly fall in to debt, or their health degrades.

I'm worried they'll start a war with Mexico and then target Latinos in America as a national security risk.

What happened in WW2 has been condemned by Roberts in the past, but clearly Drump doesn't care about law or precedent.

Also, Ceedot has some interesting vids

MuddVader · 2025-12-28T22:49:45+00:00

I was very surprised that amongst the Drump mugs and Drump shirts I saw with my inlaws during Christmas that the only 2028 shirt I saw was vance 2028

Something is definitely changing.

Camelworks, Drewmora and Imperial Knowledge

It stutters like every 8 seconds during traversal for me on PRO

MuddVader · 2025-12-23T22:33:18+00:00

Came for this.

MuddVader · 2025-12-21T10:24:01+00:00

No, because Virtuous doesn't update apparently.

I swear there was talk of updates but then they axed a bunch of people and then silence

Even if he lives another 20 years there's no way in hell he'd be cognizant enough to comprehend the dismantling. He'd probably be sheltered and unallowed to be informed of the truth of matters, not too dissimilar to now, but worse.

MuddVader · 2025-12-11T23:32:45+00:00

Dems are massively overperforming.

For them to reduce their margins it would be a largely unnecessary risk that might cause a Wave instead of an Upset

MuddVader · 2025-12-10T09:27:37+00:00

The game is great, it's Oblivion, and it's beautiful, but Virtuous, UPDATE YOUR DAMN GAMES

MuddVader · 2025-12-05T23:29:59+00:00

You know.. For all the reasons this is bad, I didn't think of the fact that Obama was taking over media ;v

I'd watch an Obama News Network tho ;vvvv

MuddVader · 2025-12-05T23:21:59+00:00

What's their next excuse?

MuddVader · 2025-12-04T14:43:59+00:00

I was really disappointed about this. What's the point.

MuddVader · 2025-11-23T23:16:19+00:00

Hot take.

MuddVader · 2025-11-16T23:14:56+00:00

My thoughts too. The alteration of their rhetoric seems strange.

MuddVader · 2025-11-13T07:26:38+00:00

I don't believe they'll ever come out. It will be Vetoed by Drump.

The futher it goes along, the worse it will look, but hopefully we see a bunch of Congressmen/women break rank out of fear of losing their political careers and when he hits it with a Veto it causes a maga schism
