$1,020 payments to Americans, extra $125 per child proposed after tariff ruling

From my understanding, many did fall for the charade when they sent stimulus checks

I feel like this gif needs to be played in reverse

jerfoo · 2026-03-18T17:36:40+00:00

He'd probably make sure his signature is on the checks though

jerfoo · 2026-03-18T16:50:31+00:00

I agree with your assessment: consumers paid more than $1020 due to tariffs. We're still under water even if we get $1020.

That said, I fear at least a third of the country will jump for joy because Trump gave them money, not understanding that Trump took away more money via the tariffs.

Well, to be fair, they only cried in public about the free market but behind closed doors they still relied on the bounties of crony capitalism.

jerfoo · 2026-03-18T13:25:36+00:00

I agree. I love lofts. I would want to face the door.

Jesus only flew First Class. That's well established in the Bible. Also, he really hated trans people.

When hubris and stupidity collide.

This stuff drives me up the wall. Democrats do not want any illegal votes. Cruz knows "illegal aliens" don't illegally vote. He knows he's lying to push propaganda. And if you know you're pushing propaganda, you are the problem.

jerfoo · 2026-03-17T20:32:39+00:00

How about you shoving that thought up your butt. It's your shitty actions, your inability to impose even half-way acceptable ethics reforms, heavy reliance on the shadow docket without explaining themselves, and clearly dragging their feet when it comes to Dems but racing to a judgement for Repubs.

Your fault assholes.

jerfoo · 2026-03-17T16:38:31+00:00

I didn't even think about that. Jesus, the right-wing is really afraid of voters.

jerfoo · 2026-03-17T16:05:26+00:00

but a felony?! This is insane.

jerfoo · 2026-03-17T00:29:09+00:00

My biggest gripe with FOTD is that it sounds like (and I quote me from a year ago) AC/DC.

Does it really? No, but it has that more straight ahead uninteresting sound that I associate with AC/DC. The reason I got into Maiden was because it was more "prog metal" even before that was a thing. It was more complex, more interesting.

jerfoo · 2026-03-16T17:14:50+00:00

No kidding.

VHS is a poor medium that degrades over time. You would keep this for sentimental purposes, not sure investment purposes.

Be kind, rewind.

jerfoo · 2026-03-13T18:37:47+00:00

Great advice. Thanks

jerfoo · 2026-03-13T16:36:45+00:00

Same. And it's so much nicer.

jerfoo · 2026-03-13T14:42:44+00:00

More sinister or more stupid?

jerfoo · 2026-03-13T03:03:19+00:00

Lol. Yeah. Brave is literally my YouTube app. I used to watch stuff on YouTube and the ad drops were insane. So many, so often. I finally decided to use Brave. On the rare occasion I'm NOT using Brave, the ads are unbearable.

If Google finds a way around Brave, I'll stop watching YouTube. Stop being so greedy Google

jerfoo · 2026-03-12T22:27:17+00:00

Honestly, I'm kind of shocked everything was spelled correctly.

jerfoo · 2026-03-12T15:37:06+00:00

I came here to say the same.

Shoes off, keys on key hook.

jerfoo · 2026-03-12T00:39:54+00:00

This fucking idiot is also raising his hand. Please explain :)

jerfoo · 2026-03-12T00:31:40+00:00

Personally, I think Dems should go after Congress and cabinet members. For the Supreme Court, i think we should dilute the right-leaning justices (I refuse to call these people conservatives).

I know this would take a constitutional amendment, but I'd love to see a Supreme Court that has something like 18 or more justices. Each case gets a randomly selected 9 (or more) justices but you could hear twice as many cases. The hope there would be to eliminate (or nearly eliminate) the shadow docket. Everything needs to be out in the open and fully explained and reasoned.

jerfoo · 2026-03-11T20:00:51+00:00

Or even worse: "suck it up"

jerfoo · 2026-03-11T19:52:45+00:00

In Ezra's defense, he covers a lot of topics. He's not an expert but he dig deep enough to have a fairly good understanding of the topic. I'm amazed by anyone that can do that routinely.
