I refer to charges on imported goods as “duties,” not “tariffs” or “taxes.” When the government charged money for importing goods, that charge was historically called a custom or impost, each of which was a kind of “duty.” See N. Webster, A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language 75, 152 (1806); Art. I, §10, cl. 2. — Clarence Thomas (dissent)
The Constitution does mention imposts, “The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises…” Notice that CONGRESS has the power to lay and collect imposts - the money charged for importing goods.
Now you know. 👍
If the president has the right to ban trade from a country, he should have the right to put tariffs on goods from that country.
Congress lays and collects taxes, duties, imposts, and excises. It says so right in The Constitution. Banning something is none of those. “Tariffs” are. This could not be simpler.

When people starve, die of disease, and are beaten at MAGA detention centers, MAGA will point the finger at Obama and say that he had immigration facilities--as if that is an excuse for all the inhumanity that comes under MAGA's watch. The suffering and death will be caused by MAGA and MAGA alone.
Down to a 59% likelihood of a Republican Senate next year. That race gets tighter every week.
Would trump retire if he loses the House and Senate? His life will be a living hell with impeachments, investigations, holds, defunding and checks on his power. Multiple cabinet members would be impeached. Him too.
Although it would be amusing to watch 2 scotus judges retire in December when the current R senate could still approve them. Because otherwise, no more judges appointed by spanky.
And elected members of his own party will raise their eyebrows and say 'holy cow I need to get as far away from trump as possible NOW if I want to win anything in 2028!'
NOTE: I cannot directly quote Hussars 1776.1, due to LRC SPAM rules. So, the context is lost.
Don't forget that Leavitt, Trump's Liar, had ICE tried to deport her godson/nephew's mother, because her brother did not want to pay child support to a woman he was at the time engaged to and knocked up. Leavitt's brother lost a custody battle due to being an unfit father. So, the way to force the child into his hands was to have his sister deport the mother.

A point for LRC Staff. STOP using quoted content to block posts. If a post is allowed then it should be allowed to be quoted. NEVER impose lifetime bans because someone quoted an allowed post.
Polls are bullshizz. When you posted one a couple days ago about Georgia being an 80% chance of keeping ossoff around that just proves my point. 80%? Really? Red state? Not even close to 80%. 55%? 50%? Perhaps, 80% is pushing it. No mail-in voting this time and IDs will be shown in the great state of Georgia. We'll see.

Since when does the Trump administration respect the Constitution? 1A & 4A are routinely trampled on. Constitutionalist? Yeah, right! 🙄 I never again want to see a Trumper/MAGA person flying the Don’t Tread On Me flag.
“Never has so much US combat power been assembled with so little explanation to the public, allies, or Congress regarding why or how it will be used. Never.”

GA is a state with two Democratic senators and that voted for Biden.
Clearly Dems can do well in GA statewide. It's not a red state.
fact is, ossoff is an appealing candidate. People like the guy. Odds are up to 81% now.
What I cite about ossoff isn't a poll - it's betting odds. People putting their money down.

The world hates Piggie and that’s costing us billions.
New data shows US is the only major destination in the world to see a decline in international travellers in 2025. So far 2026 getting worse. Foreign airlines cutting the number of US-bound flights. Disney warning of “international visitation headwinds”
“Never has so much US combat power been assembled with so little explanation to the public, allies, or Congress regarding why or how it will be used. Never.”
We must reobliterate Iran’s nuclear facilities. Suggestions otherwise are fake news.

👆I see you’re taking the comic route tonight. Trump 50% approve vs 46% disapprove. A gain in spread from the election. MAGA is growing dumb dumb.
I bring facts and there you have them. What you bring is pain and suffering which is exactly the mission.
You will think twice about coming after others peoples children with needles or tossing them from school before this is over and we aren’t close to being finished. #itsearlyintherevolution. #ourbodyourchoice #freedomprevailed
