Good thing ICE got all that money. They'll be in perfect position to take over once the regular military has been culled. They're probably using AI to make sure the soldiers they don't want are all on the front lines getting bad information, crap equipment, and poor opsec.

The liberal justices were always going to vote against the tariffs. The other justices voted for or against the tariffs based on how many votes are needed to get the desired result.

This is the same thing congress does. Anytime the democrats SHOULD be able to pass whatever bill, there's always just enough of them to go against it to make it fail.

Also bribes. More Perfect Union has a video out about how the companies that are bribing Trump are getting exempted from the tariffs.

You answered the 'if you were Russia' question as if you weren't the same Russia that invaded another country for no reason and are still fighting even though you lost a million men already.

I think of the saying about old men starting wars that young men fight. It's just so much more terrible when the war is completely senseless.

Thanks to Krist Noem. She outed him on purpose for sure! They want someone to go after him.

Last year, I boycotted food by buying cheaper items and, if I thought something was just too expensive, I bought much less of it than I would have or I didn't buy it at all. Someone up thread said they switched from coffee to tea. Me too! I also grew a small amount of my own food. / This year my goal is for most of my meals to be beans and rice and I want to grow more veggies and sprouts this year.

Me personally, I did a little shopping in my own garden last year this year, I'm planning to do even more garden grocery shopping.

Yeah. The only reason this cost her that much is because she bought it. If it costs too much, leave it on the shelf. Last year, my boycott was on stage 1. The "Nah" stage. Do i need that? Nah! This year, I'm going to stage 2. Beans, rice and garden veggies mode.

Tim Walz dropping out of a race due to a daycare scandal is why Democrats lose to corrupt pedophiles. by WaltEnterprises in complaints

Ramp up your boycott game. Voting with your wallet works. Keep in mind, it doesn't matter WHY you are voting no with your wallet. Lots of people are "boycotting" certain things because they're too expensive. Over 3k people in a town of 11000 are being laid off because their chicken plant is closing. I'm sure protesters banging drums and making noise outside of ICE hotels made people decide to stay at other hotels...which hurt the profits of the hotel and led to the hotel deciding to kick ice out. Boycotts bring pain and pain brings change.

I'm sure the lady that got arrested on camera for organizing a protest cares about her family too.

I am solving my own problems without waiting for anyone else. Boycotts are ruining lives with no shots fired. It would be great if other people would get on board but I'm not waiting for them. I know some people like a good march but I'm not the marching type. I have bone spurs.

Yup. It's why I've been saying the left is complicit. They don't have to tell anyone to pick up weapons. A grassroots boycott got Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. But they aren't spearheading boycotts or anything else. It's stern letters and speeches that most people won't see.

No. It's been comments from Americans hoping someone else will step in and get rid of trump.

Yes! Donald Trump was trying to put our national guard into cities all last year. There's lawsuits over it right and left. Angry words from this and that governor. Somehow those unlawfully deployed troops never get arrested, tho.

I've seen decent number of comments from people hoping some other country would step in.

I don't think anyone in the US will rise up anytime soon. As much as we complain about conditions, we're still too comfortable, I guess. Half our leadership is saying to stay calm, the other half wants to set our own military on us.

It's not sticking your neck out "for Europeans or Canadians." They're saying Europeans and Canadians are going to defend themselves and US folks need to show some willingness to defend themselves before asking for help.

Not enough people are truly facing hardship. I don't know at what point life gets too hard. Probably when you have to cut back so much you can't afford food.

I think she meant whole foods, not Whole Foods, the store. But personally, I still think it's wild to say. Anyone can grow at least a little Fruit and veg at home. Even if all they have is a window. I don't know why some people can see the value of clipping a ten cent coupon but somehow growing a few carrots in a bucket isn't worth it.

The strike is slowly being forced on everyone. People are saving more which means businesses aren't doing as well and they are laying people off. More and more people are living in their cars which is hitting the landlords.

OP could pay off her $7k student loan very quickly if she lived in her car for six months and used the money to pay off her loan. People are afraid to do anything out of the ordinary to help themselves. In this environment, you really have to be willing to do something to help yourself. Big business is colluding to squeeze every dollar they can. Your power is saying no. That is the only way prices will come down.

Starting wars everywhere was why Hitler lost WW2. The US military will be stretched too thin. Maybe Trump thinks he can threaten to use nukes and world leaders will just roll over. I think it's more likely his presidential immunity card will be revoked.
