if you have made a commitment to build or are in the process of building, as many are, there is no tariff. Ok? If for some reason, you say you are building and you don't build, then we add it up, it accumulates, and we charge you at a later date, you have to pay, and that is a guaranteeIt’s all gonna be fun and games until the appeals court upholds the ruling that Trump doesn’t have the power to impose these tariffs. And then the refunds start….

It was reported on Wednesday that Vice President JD Vance would host a strategy meeting to help determine the White House's response to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and how to handle the information they have about him and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.
"But now, after significant news coverage of this scheduled meeting, sources say it may be moved, rescheduled, or canceled entirely," said CNN host Kasie Hunt.
Speaking to senior White House correspondent Kristen Holmes, Hunt noted that it was a little shocking to hear news that such a meeting would happen.
"What we learned is that the White House was also kind of floored that this information got out there from a number of sources, to my colleague Alayna Treene and me, and a number of our White House team members, that there was going to be a dinner at all," said Holmes as Hunt laughed.

Which part is the hoax? Maxwell’s conviction? Her transfer to Bryan? The accusations against Epstein? His suicide in jail when he didn’t make bail? The stories of the victims? Your 15 year friendship with Epstein? Your complete inability to provide a coherent narrative about how long you were friends with Epstein, and why and when the relationship ended?Vance denies that he's hosting a meeting to talk about Epstein, then Trump jumps in to say "the whole thing is a hoax. It's put out by the Democrats ... it's a way to try to divert attention to something that's total bullshit." pic.twitter.com/4Oq3lL3mFu

I’ve never seen a human being corkscrew themselves into the ground so deliberately and assiduously.What is a hoax specifically? Maybe he could tell us what part of the Epstein case is a hoax and why he’s sending the Dep AG of the US down to FL to make deals with Maxwell if it’s a hoax. https://t.co/iCA8OcEUeY

Trump is in a round room and he can’t find the corner to hide in. Nor the exit."Trump did not require a meeting with Bondi to learn the Epstein files contained references to him. How could they not, given that Trump hung out regularly with his pal Epstein when his sex trafficking ring was at its height?" https://t.co/8OVblcse5T

I am just going to call this the @GrahamDavidA rule: if you want Trump to say something crazy, just ask him a hypothetical, and he will say that he’s considering it https://t.co/NiDhPk8ADI

Jake Tapper is not concerned. It’s too public to make a good scandal out of. Nobody’s hiding anything; well, except the MSM, which is hiding it in plain sight.Trump wraps up his press event: "I want to thank Tim Cook. He's a great, great man, a visionary, a businessman, just about every quality he can have other than athleticism. I'm looking at him -- I'm not 100% sure." pic.twitter.com/g8Y7AlpzWp

I'm beginning to think we're going to get the point people deny they ever voted for the sonofabitch a lot sooner than I expected
ReplyDeleteit was all right in front of them all along and they just made a point of looking past it, at the women they just couldn't bring themselves to vote for
“I voted for the other guy!”
DeleteI'm eagerly anticipating those tarriffs adding on the the costs when Windows 10 end of service hits in October and millions of computers will suddenly either be switched to LInux or they'll be our of date because they won't run Windows 11. And you know that most people won't change their OS no matter how easy it is to do it.
ReplyDeleteAmerica will never dig itself out of Trump II. We are an ex-superpower and it's the fault of our libertarian while non-egalitarian founding document and the Supreme Court. Well, the media had a lot to do with it, too.
