Sure thing, let's just go to the unredacted Mueller Rep- AW GODDAMMIT

Russia does not really trade with the US to a significant degree. It exports next to nothing, but it does import things like electronics for obvious reasons.
Tarrifs on Russia will be pointless, really. Russia has been trading with Europe for the most part until it fell out of favour.

Lmao, what? Why even?
Well, even then, these islands are not significant geopolitical actors. And tarrifs will certinly not hurt the Russian economy, and I doubt they are going to help the US in terms of geopolitics.

Because Trump is a moron surrounded by a team of idiots.

And yet they have tarrifs.

The same can be said if many of the other tariffs Trump has imposed. Which is why Russia's exception is notable.

wrote 10 days ago last edited byYes exactly. Yet the islands were included but Russia wasn't. So the situation isn't that Russia has no trade and tariffs are useless against it, but that Russia was specifically singled out so they wouldn't receive tariffs.
Just take the loss, jfc.

I try to keep a sense of perspective, every president I disagree with seems to be the worst president ever at the time.
I really want to say Bush's useless Trillion dollar wars are worse than this.
But it's close and we have 3.5 more years of this.

wrote 10 days ago last edited byTrump followed a consistent, rigid math: Whatever the trade deficit, then that's the tariff applied... except for Russia. Russia is #23 on our list of trade partners. Following the math they should have a hefty tariff applied, but they don't. It's the only exception.

Only the long form one will do

Because we have embargoed all Russian trade. I hope more folks realize this.
wrote 10 days ago last edited byUS imported $3.2 billion in goods and exported $595 million. Trade deficit of 2.7 billion
Syria, Iran, Venezuela (according to Forbes) were tariffed - despite being already sanctioned. -

Uh? Of course he isn't. Why would he put tariffs on his boss? That makes no sense.

Im going to need some serious evidence that the sitting US president is not a natural born citizen and therefore is not actually the president.
wrote 10 days ago last edited byI’m honestly not sure how that would apply to infant adoptions. It’s my understanding that if the adoption occurs early enough, the adoptive parents will be listed on the birth certificate. It certainly feels like a child adopted in infancy by citizens should be just as eligible for the presidency as a child naturally born to citizens, but I’d also have a hard time drawing a line age-wise after which that would no longer apply and I do see a reason to bar children adopted at 17 from the presidency. My niece was adopted at three years old and she does remember her biological mother, but she’s absolutely my sister and brother in law’s daughter, in terms of her personality, culture, and values. That’s only a data point of one and I’d like more, but I don’t know how easy that would be to track for other adopted children.

wrote 10 days ago last edited byAs much as I despise Obama for vastly expanding our extrajudicial drone strike policy..... All things put into perspective, yeah he was pretty decent.

wrote 10 days ago last edited byI was fine with like 80% of Obama and like 60% of Clinton's actual policies while enjoying the economy that I don't credit him for. But then W Bush was like a 10% and Trump 1 maybe 10% (Warp Speed, passing the vast majority of Covid stimulus, ironically all the stuff he's against now) and I'm batting zero so far on Trump 2 but I assume at some point he'll do something I agree with.

Because Tariffs don't work on non-allied countries

wrote 10 days ago last edited byThe US has been sanctioning Russia for the better part of the last decade. We aren't tariffing them because we aren't trading with them.
We also aren't tariffing Venezuela, Cuba, or North Korea, for the same reasons.

Apparently, despite previously trading with Russia, the US have ceased all trade with them as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. .
wrote 10 days ago last edited byYeah if I were being charitable I might imagine they aren't on the list because they are already subject to extremely high tarrifs and embargoes. Maybe increased those tarrifs could be a bargaining chip in ending the Ukraine invasion. Impossible to tell with Trump though.
