It's convenient but not accurate in this case. The good news is Canadian Tire bought the IP. LOL

Oops, it does sound like the company blamed trade tensions, but like you say, they were already circling the drain.

Obama was given one for trying making a nuclear deal with Iran in 2009, 6 years before it happened. Trump may get one for ending Iran's nuclear program once and for all? Who knows. Its hard to make deals with countries determined to get a bomb. Its too late for North Korea despite all the deals we made with them.
DO they get free Purple Hearts for burning their fingers at the coffee machines in the breakroom?
If the fact that it is publicly known that several of the justices have taken money and or gifts from people who have had cases before them and nothing has been done about it, then I hate to inform you that our Supreme Court has been compromised.
Which is more profitable long term ?Renting Venice for a week, or buying SCOTUS--what's more expensive?
Hand cuffs on old people in wheelchairs. Just no words.Wow. Just title this irony on many levels. Republicans let the capital be attacked on J6 and claim to be the party of pro life. Arresting the elderly who are trying to save their medical coverage for poorer Americans

I'm absolutely shocked that this Trump-associated product would not be anything close to what was originally described. He's always been such an honest businessman.Grift Phone no longer made in the USA, and the low-end specs have been downgraded LOL
Yep probably a $500+ phone that is worse than a $125 phone and likely without a reliable warranty.... and with china spy software pre-installed .... but hey it is an ugly yellow/gold colouringI'm absolutely shocked that this Trump-associated product would not be anything close to what was originally described.

Hey it is a mistake to leave these horrible criminals in the country - gotta get rid of them even if they pay more taxes than the folks deporting them.Grant Stern (@grantstern.bsky.social)
Deporting children of military veterans because they were born on an overseas military base. This man has no citizenship now. https://www.austinchronicle.com/daily/news/2025-06-04/texas-man-born-to-u-s-soldier-on-u-s-army-base-abroad-deported/bsky.app
This is what Republicans voted for and what they continue to support as they turn blind eyes to the obvious insanity and inhumanity the current administration is perpetrating.

Senate GOP slashes megabill's tax costs with new accounting method
A new $440B estimate does not include the multi-trillion-dollar bill for extending soon-expiring tax cuts.www.yahoo.com
Somewhat unexpectedly, SD Sen. Thune claims they won't ignore the Senate Parliamentarian. Still very unclear how much of a big, beautiful bill Trump gets passed.
Just another reminder that republicans as “fiscal conservatives” is just a myth. Also the people who claim government should be run like a business should be up in arms over this. No company would forecast future cash flow in this way.Related… may also be pertinent in the tariff thread:
As Senate Republicans barrel toward votes in the coming days on President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, they are using a controversial budget maneuver to hide $3.8 trillion in red ink.
This Senate-preferred accounting approach is known as using a "current policy baseline" and takes the stance that extending current tax rates should be counted as having zero cost even if they are set to expire.
'An egregious budget gimmick'
But the maneuver has been pilloried by economists.
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget this week called the approach"an egregious budget gimmick" that could have the larger effect of allowing trillions in new government borrowing in the years ahead.
Andrew Lautz of the Bipartisan Policy Center has detailed how the method changed the score on a range of key tax issues in the bill.
In one case, the "current policy" approach says Senate provisions to extend tax rates for individuals will cost about $83 billion over the coming decade. The full cost to the national debt, meanwhile, is projected to be over $2.2 trillion.
