Pence rebuffs Trump on tariffs, Russia and January 6 pardons in CNN interview Trump first VP criticized the 78-yr old child's across-the-board tariffs on Monday, arguing that a looming “price shock” to the economy and potential shortages will lead Americans to “demand a different approach” from the White House. Pence said Trump “sent the wrong message” by pardoning or commuting the sentences of more than 1,000 supporters who rioted at the Capitol. “I was deeply disappointed to see President Trump pardon people that engaged in violence against law enforcement officers that day. The president has every right under the Constitution to grant pardons, but in that moment, I thought it sent the wrong message,” the former vice president said.
F*ck you Trump, you racist lying ass*hole and bigot. Trump's new bedrock principle of the United States is RESTORING EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY AND MERITOCRACY, and that that all citizens are treated equally under the law. Yeah right. What a crock for guys who think white men are superior, and a woman's role is being a trophy wive, in a subordinates role, or in the kitchen, and black men in high roles of authority are simply DEI hires, because they can't possibly be more qualified than a white man. As he states, this principle guarantees equality of opportunity, not equal outcomes. It promises that people are treated as individuals, not components of a particular race or group. It encourages meritocracy and a colorblind society, not race- or sex-based favoritism. Adherence to this principle is essential to creating opportunity, encouraging achievement, and sustaining the American Dream. Let's see how this all plays out as He smith keeps on firing top more top military officials of color and those that are women. He's already making policies to and changes to the EO program that could create a chilling effect on victims who might fear reporting harassment, and putting a lot of fear into soldiers that may avoid submitting complaints for fear of retaliation or being ostracized. But, that's how guys like Hegsmith role. Go ahead and try to claim sexual harassment b*tch, and I'll make your life miserable. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presiden...ring-equality-of-opportunity-and-meritocracy/
US court blocks Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs The Manhattan-based Court of International Trade said the U.S. Constitution gives the U.S. Congress exclusive powers to regulate commerce with other countries that are not trumped by the president's emergency powers to safeguard the U.S. economy. The lawsuit, filed by the nonpartisan Liberty Justice Center on behalf of five small U.S. businesses that import goods from countries targeted by the duties, was the first major legal challenge to Trump's tariffs. The companies - which range from a New York wine and spirits importer to a Virginia-based maker of educational kits and musical instruments - have said the tariffs will hurt their ability to do business. The lawsuit is one of seven court challenges to Trump's tariff policies, along with challenges from 13 U.S. states and other groups of small businesses.
Second federal court rules against Trump's tariffs “The International Economic Emergency Powers Act does not authorize the President to impose the tariffs set forth” in four executive orders Trump issued earlier this year, D.C. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras said in a decision ordering a preliminary injunction on the collection of the duties on the two plaintiffs who brought the case.
