Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You didn't read the fine print. It's the party of no taxes*
*^for rich people^
"You know what will fix America's problems? Infinite new taxes on absolutely everything!"
-- Republicans, apparently
imposing a 50 percent tariff on “all kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, and associated products,” as well as a 30 percent tariff on upholstered furniture beginning Oct. 1st.
If associated products means anything that could go into making a cabinet, like fixtures or even the parts of a cabinet that might still have to be imported, then he's making domestic expensive too, nullifying anything. It's possible that he may end up eventually being the only person in the US who doesn't understand the effects of a tariff. Idiot.
Ah yes, nothing says "National Security Threat" like Swedish cabinetry.
Well, Norwegian Wood was a song about burning a house down.
Oh is that what it's about? I thought it was about a romantic encounter in Norway 😳
Once again I need to quote this unknown journalist from 2017:
“They voted for the elephant in the china shop. Little did they realize that they were the china.”
So some domestic firm with a terrible, non competitive product fellated him. Did we see a pressboard trophy to go with Apple's glass one?
“The reason for this is the large scale ‘FLOODING’ of these products into the United States by other outside Countries,” he wrote. “It is a very unfair practice, but we must protect, for National Security and other reasons, our Manufacturing process.”
Something to do with being other than attention to the Epstein files.
I’d join the discussion but the article is paywalled
This abject moron will had no fixing clue how tariffs work and how to use them not like an idiot.
IKEA is not going to give a flying fuck about this.
