Summary
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) warned of uncertainty over Trump’s sweeping new tariffs, saying, “In the long run, we’re all dead,” and slammed blind loyalty to the policy.
While Kennedy didn’t vote against Trump’s emergency tariff powers—unlike four GOP senators—he criticized the lack of clarity on economic impacts.
Trump imposed a 10% baseline tariff on all imports, falsely claiming foreign nations will bear the cost.
Kennedy told Newsmax that predictions on the tariffs’ effects are unreliable, adding anyone claiming certainty is “lying” or “selling deep stupid.”
Any military workers/veterans in here? When are you gonna uphold your sworn oath to the constitution?
If they haven’t by now, and they haven’t, they aren’t going to.
I’ve been screaming my head off against that asshole for ten years, and I can’t rally democrats to do anything more than play tambourine and sing kumbaya.
A very highly placed officer would have to take the first step. Servicemen have no access to their weapons or ammunition, this goes double for anything heavier than a rifle. To gain access to any sort of weapons it would take a large conspiracy. Without proper organization and a supply chain even the most capable individual is just a lone crank.
They too have sworn an oath, not only talking about infantry or gruntworkers. More and more that oath seems like a joke.
It always has been. The oath is about blind obedience not for actually protecting to constitution or the military would have said no to all of the illegal bombings that have happened.
they wont, until the economy collapses, and the federal government loses control.
How many times do we have to explain this, before it starts to make sense. Either you lose control of the military, and the military seizes power (not advantageous to you in this case)
or the entire society and government structure around it collapses, and it’s basically a free for all power grab because nobody has anything to lose.
Why are you asking someone else to fix your problems for you?
