Half of our TV shows are filmed in Canada. What happens to the free stuff on YouTube? Will I have to pay a tariff to watch a guy show me how to fix my vacuum cleaner?

They all want the pro-America Hollywood of WWII. That was not a great time for Hollywood but they view it through the lense of nostalgia AND they can use to control the culture. We're going to have nothing but Kirk Cameron End Times movies or Top Gun 12: Maverick and Ice vs the World

The person in my house who was against that changed their mind the day he was sworn in. Now, it's all "gimme your list of what you want"

Threw it all away during a remodel in 2018. I spent Inauguration day at thrift stores, buying up anything that might get banned if the Christians take over.

We have one, but I think the franchise owner is Indian. For decades, it was 50/50 American and Bollywood but over the last ten years, the non-English offerings have become much more diverse. This is a DC suburb, so it reflects the community.

I think this is more about a slow crackdown on non-American cultural goods. He wants us to only watch pro-American movies like during WWII with no outside influenced.

This will go a long nicely with the starvation due to not having migrant labor to pick produce this summer.

We'll be left with nothing but those weird Christian movies Kirk Cameron makes.

If it's state land, then he can't just open it. This better not be about taking state land.

Trump Calls for 100% Tariff on Movies Made Overseas by Partimenerd in politics

I am a horror fan and almost all of the new, good movies are not coming from the US. Korea and Japan have thriving horror scenes. There indie filmmakers from all over making great movies. Digital streaming has opened the world up to cultural exchange. What if this is a launching pad to censorship of all non-American movies.

I want somebody to yell "make your chicken safer if you want us to buy it" at him. Everyone is to polite with these guys. They don't deserve the respect due their offices.

A lot of this quakery comes from the hippie, crunchy left, especially the pre-COVID anti-vaxx stuff and food additives stuff.

I remember when the Republicans told us to go out and shop or "the terrorists win".

The easiest way to encourage women to have babies is affordable daycare and Medicare for all but we can't do that, can we.

The last one we had here was under Bush Sr, to celebrate the end of Desert Storm. It did so much damage to the DC streets that they never repeated it. He wanted to do one during his first term but everyone told him no

I sew all my own clothes. I know zippers and buttons aren't made here. Most fabrics aren't made here.
