The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Which is why the pronouncements have tended to include fentanyl, or border control, or some other factor aside from trade deficits. That way the Administration can point to them in court and claim that he's exercising a delegated authority to impose tariffs.

Is anyone -even the minority party- saying "PROVE IT"? If I were a congress-being, I would be shouting that at every microphone pointed at me. I very much doubt Canada has a problem with fentanyl. And Brazil doesn't even share a border with us, so that's out. (Does MAGA know we don't share a border with Brazil? I probably shouldn't assume...)

Hopefully the Dems take Congress back next year**. If so, they should be able to put a stop to this madness (since the authority really lies with Congress).



**I don't know the mix of senators seeking reelection next year, but the House has 435 people needing to be reelected. The Dems have been given a Golden Ticket as long as they don't blow it with pronouns (and other nonsense).
