Politics is the art of conning people into thinking you have a chance and giving you their money.

Some really big tariffs being announced.

Trump is imposing a 10% tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands.

The Heard and McDonald Islands are uninhabited.

President Donald Trump says taxing imports will boost domestic manufacturing. Hours before announcing new tariffs, his administration cut support for centers that help US firms do just that

what drives me bonkers is that things are set up and they have the whole year mapped out based on funding agreements

such a dysfunctional way to do things...

The Constitution says that Congress regulates Commerce, including imposition of tariffs, correct?  But yet it doesn’t. I don’t get it.
