Then maybe you should have done it the legal way, huh, Bessent? You stupid fucking dickbag! Maybe don't bitch about things that you could have avoided but instead ran headlong into because you're a fucking dipshit.

You should be embarrassed.

Do your job and approve tariffs instead of keeping Trump be king and pretending that’s fine.

I hope they get overruled and the US government has to pay back all that money to the citizens who paid it.

Rubio said Trump used his IEEPA authority in connection with highly sensitive negotiations to end Russia’s war in Ukraine and claimed there could be “severe consequences for ongoing peace negotiations and human rights abuses” if the court ruled against the administration.

TIL Russia's war in Ukraine is over! Way to go guys! To be fair to little marco, there probably will be human rights abuses if the court rules against the administration, but they'll be committed against the court.

No worries. Trump is already a global embarrassment regardless.
