Conservative Legal Group Brings First Suit Challenging Trump’s Authority to Impose Tariffs
There's a really good discussion of this here https://archive.ph/qt7rj Instead of invoking the Trade Act, which specifically authorizes the President to impose tariffs, Trump invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act which makes no mention of tariffs. Now, under the doctrine invented by the conservatives on the Supreme court, called the Major Questions doctrine, since the Congress didn't specifically authorize tariffs to be deployed by the President in this law, his tariffs should be disqualified. (It was this doctrine that the conservatives on the Supreme court used to shoot down Biden's student loan forgiveness) For what it's worth, I'm inclined to believe that they will shoot this down in order to protect Trump from the political consequences of these tariffs. -

Sorry Mrs PM. A meaningless gesture. Please take your publicity team away from a place where real people have lost their lives. -

Trump tells Americans ‘it won’t be easy’
Get your calculator out, and borrow a brain from someone who has one...... How exactly is what he is doing going to erase the deficit and make things better? Have you ever designed and built a factory, considering everything from labor costs to worker skills to tax incentives to power and transport sourcing? Not easy, not done quickly, and sometimes makes no sense---even if one could get behind tariffs. Now on another topic.... Since homo sapiens (or their ancestors) walked out of Oldavai Gorge, exactly how many sovereign governments have repaid their debt? Exactly how many? The system is always based on confidence and a collective agreement to suspend disbelief. That is the great secret of civilization, apparently lost on MAGAs. "Service" debt is all that has ever counted. Anyone who has followed POTUS' career knows he knows nothing and has zero skill. He could never service his own debt, so he couldn't lead others to collectively suspend their disbelief. He defaulted on loans and defaulted on junk bonds. 6 bankruptcies. Like sovereign governments, however, he long had his own "Central Bank". Ours is called the Federal Reserve. His was called "daddy". His father 1) gave him a massive allowance from the age of 3 until dad's death, 2) co-signed every loan POTUS took until his death, 3) once walked into an Atlantic City casino and bought $3.2 million in chips so that POTUS could take the cash and repay a personal loan due in NYC, 4) left POTUS almost half a billion dollars in inheritance. Still, POTUS failed...as his tax returns show. Two things bailed POTUS out. One was that Mark Burnett created a fantasy and made POTUS a Game Show Host, which actually earned POTUS some income, as well as fooling the goobers of US society into believing the guy is some sort of success. The second thing was that---for some reason---Russian oligarchs put money into SIVs (Special Investment Vehicles) at Deutsche Bank and loaned the money to POTUS, or as Junior said, "We get all the money we need from Russia". The SIVs at DB are off balance sheet, but also callable. So we have a lifelong failure, save for Mark Burnett and oligarchs, who somehow thinks tariffs will mean Americans will knit t-shirts just like women in Bangladesh. NOTHING In the tariff plan has anything to do with reducing the deficit. Nothing. Oh, and all the "cost savings" of DOGE amount to not even a rounding error in a single year's budget, much less the total National Debt. DOGE slashing the IRS workforce had the IRS itself estimating it will result in a yearly loss of $500,000,000,000 in tax revenues because people will know they can get away with cheating. Toss in POTUS planned tax cut---which economists estimate will add more than a $trillion a year in new budget deficits, and it should be clear even to MAGAs that POTUS really has no plan for slashing the deficit. Instead, POTUS is slaughtering pensions, insurance company funding, 401Ks, etc., as the markets tank. And the biggest joke of all? Even MAGAs might laugh if they knew the actual story of where the impetus for the tariff plan originated. Perhaps I'll start another thread to discuss that. Just Google "Ron Vara".- 1

Proper Size for LED Flood Lights Around House
Great idea, thanks. Are these lights set to come on at dusk/dark? How long do they last in one night? I assume that lower watt will last longer -- what size in watts are your lights? Thanks again.
