Wow it's almost like we should have regulated the economy so this sort of thing doesn't happen.
Oh, wait.

Congress can revoke his "emergency" powers to do this whenever they want. They won't though, because most Americans are so out of touch that they don't know that. The final destination of "I don't do politics" being the dominant view.
The whole "I don't do politics" angle makes me so angry. They're getting mugged and saying, "I didn't see a mugging"
Being able to disengage from politics and even to consider that disengagement a virtue all the while living a prosperous and mostly safe life is a privilege that Americans have enjoyed. But the result of them steadfastly refusing to even think about who they want at the wheel has finally led to an utter lunatic driving. Theyre still sleepwalking, hoping they don't need to engage. The shortest path out of this is acute economic pain.
My response to that is always the same:
"Oh, you don't do/like politics? I get it.
But do you know who does? Your bank, your landlord, your boss, cops, judges, pretty much anyone with any amount of control over your life."
Which has been the point. Politics touches virtually every aspect of life, so getting people to hate politics and disengage makes it that much easier for those with power to fuck everyone over.
He's gonna start calling them the "Woke Street Journal", isn't he?
Musk will buy it and fire everyone!
If only there was a journalistic entity that could have looked into Trump before he was elected.
Aren't these the same rat bastards that assisted him into office by trying to provide "both sides" coverage up until about a month before the election?
They're owned by Rupert Murdoch, after all
That and the "businesses want certainty" narrative so they know they'll get some tax cuts...while blowing up their economy, society, government, currency and hegemony.
Truly a golden goose moment that Kindergarteners know that those greedy corporate fucks will have to learn, again. The only problem is we have to suffer through their greed for it.
Eat a bag of dicks, Murdoch. You were central to making this happen.
I agree I think someone should sue him right between the eyes.
Oh yeah? How about their owner gives it a try
Donald "Pump and Dump" Trump
I’ll do it if they pay my legal and security bills
Pump <--> dump
