Who should be responsible for paying back tariffs collected after todays SCOTUS ruling?

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

Actually the funds went into the US Treasury, and American consumers paid higher prices to pad the Treasury balance. It's essentially a backdoor sales tax. It will be up to Congress to decide whether or not to refund the American people for their overpayments from Treasury funds.

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

Ah yes... but only a backdoor tax on things imported from hostile nations that have tariffs slapped on them.

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

Define hostile, Trump put an awful lot of tariffs on things from friendly countries too.

hostile | häst()l, hästl | adjective 1 unfriendly; antagonistic: a hostile audience | he wrote a ferociously hostile attack. [predicative] opposed: people are very hostile to the idea. (of a takeover bid) opposed by the company to be bought: the brewery fought off a hostile takeover bid last year.

Is Canada hostile? Is France?

Canada and France have been hostile towards the USA lately... FFS, Canada is currently licking Chinese nuts at the moment! doh

Could you cite examples of Canada and France being hostile to the US?

Well, Canada for example -- just yesterday, they knocked two of this guys teeth out!

Is that hostile enough for you?

I was more or less teasing with regards to the USA Hockey player... It's a rough sport!

However, I'm not joking when it comes to Canada being hostile -- take for instance the current embargo we have on Cuba! It's a hostile action for them to go against us in giving them aid!

Canada is a sovereign nation and they can have a relationship with Cuba if they want to, they aren't beholden to the US. Please try again.

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

And why do we have an oil embargo on Cuba anyway, last I heard Castro was dead? They aren't still hosting Russian nukes are they?

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

Canada is a sovereign nation to the extent that they become a national security risk to their larger, more powerful neighbors. Should they choose to align with countries hostile to the USA, then they open themselves up to serious repercussions.

There is an embargo on Cuba for buying oil from Venezuela... you are aware the US captured Maduro recently in a covert military operation? You did not bother to reply to that thread so I assume you're clueless when it comes to South American issues.

Oh, why am I wasting my time... your party still thinks Venezuela is below the equator.

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

I am aware, I just don't understand why we would embargo cuba for buying oil from Venezuela. Or try to blockade oil from other countries from getting to Cuba. Lots of countries buy oil from Venezuela. Russia is a much bigger asshole country than Venezuela ever thought of being, and lots of countries buy oil from Russia too. Should we be setting up naval blockades around their countries too?

These are big boy issues, PowerStroker! That is why you are unwilling to dip your toe in the Maduro thread.

If left up to you Democrats you'd give away the farm, then cry when a communist nation took over and put your ass out in the field to pick cotton!

Everything you have said above is a cop-out! You know exactly why, and if you don't know by now -- it's just wasting my time explaining it to you!

They say Bees don't waste their time trying to convince Flies that honey is better than shit...

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

I guess Maduro is a prick, but he never did anything to me so it's not something I get excited about.

Apparently Trump signed an executive order to block oil going to Cuba based on a national emergency of some kind. For the life of me I can't figure out what that emergency is, can you help me understand?

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

Monroe Doctrine.

Look it up... learn it.

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

How is Trump's desire to reimplement the Monroe Doctrine on Cuba a national emergency?

Even AI is essentially calling bullshit. The consensus of international observers doesn't see justification for the emergency declaration.

Does it bother you at all that Trump is so often out of touch with reality?

HA! That's really rich! Some pedophile Democrat who likes to promote sex changes on children, while allowing $9 billion worth of grift by Somalis taking over his state telling me Trump is out of touch!

But you support them 100%. You vote and plug for them. Cover for them. Distract, deflect, project. You're no better than street rat with syphilis.

Pharmaceutical puberty blockers and hormone treatments are not sex change operations. I'm not aware of any current elected officials in my state that are pedophiles, promoted sex changes on children, or were involved in the missing 9 billion either. In fact, they are investigating and prosecuting the people involved in the fraud.

The thing is, the Old Testament was written long before Jesus came along, and contains books written by some very bigoted people. A true Christian sees the Old Testament as a historical record, and not a guide for living. Nor does a true Christian see the Old Testament as a justification for bigotry. A true Christian follows the teachings of Jesus found in the New Testament. The religion is called Christianity, not Leviticanity.

Bigotry justified by religion, is just bigotry from people who make absolutely no effort toward self improvement or enlightenment.

Sorry PowerStroker, we still insist you leave the kids alone! Self improvement and enlightenment have nothing to do with cutting off your dick, or other parts of your reproductive system! It's just sick -- regardless of the age!

SCOTUS just ruled California can no longer hide information from parents with regards to the sick Democrat gender reassignment campaign on children! That means it's the law of the land! I implore your kind to leave the kids alone!

It's sick, and honestly you risk being un-alived if you mess with the wrong parents. I highly suggest you reconsider your position on advocating puberty blockers for children until you have your own kids!

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

I have never once advocated cutting off your or my dick. Democrats don't have a gender reassignment campaign.

Hypothetical for you...

Back when your son was about 13 years old. If he came up to you and told you that he has been depressed for a long time because he has the soul of a female trapped in a boy's body. And that he would like to get a prescription to delay puberty until he can figure out what to do about his feelings. Would you help him obtain that prescription? Would you love him any less? Would you find a way to blame your situation on liberals?

I'm not advocating anything except self determination and compassion.

DUDE! You had a vasectomy! Do you know how much of a bitch move that is?

I still have to FIGHT with the natural urge to breed! It's not easy! But you... You go and get fixed like some animal! You don't even remember what it's like to be a man anymore!

If my Son came up to me at 13 and said he thought he had the soul of a female trapped in his body I'd have looked him in the eye and asked him "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

I would have told him like my other son that any and all medical procedures would be put off until his 18th birthday -- because you just don't get it PowerStroker! You'll NEVER "get it" because you don't have kids!

Kids are just that you pervert! They are KIDS! They go through a lot of emotional periods -- they try things out, but until they are 18 years old -- you have to just let them grow!

I'm actually glad you can't have kids. You're not playing with a full deck!

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

My instinct IS to leave kids alone. But if I had one that asked for help, I'm not going to respond by saying "what the fuck is wrong with you."

There is no Democratic program or even desire to perform sex changes on children. No Democrat that I know about is advocating gender reassignment surgeries before the 18th birthday. We just try to be supportive until they can decide for themselves what they want to do with their lives. I don't know why you make such a big deal out of that, especially when you can avoid numerous youth suicides by simply providing medicines that simply delay puberty. And there is no such thing as a Sarah Palin "death panel" either by the way. Your imagination is vivid, but leads you to some pretty astonishing conclusions. If you can show me credible evidence that Democrats are marching kids into a machine that slices off their genitals, then I'll leave the party.

Least I'll go to heaven. Show me the bigotry, I'll show you the passages.

I'm going to heaven too, and I think they'll have fewer questions for me when I get there.

As far as the bigotry, you can reference your own posts here about gays, transgender people, Mexicans, and black people.
