US Election & Presidency

^If someone refuses an invitation then "uninviting" them seems kind of redundant. But, as we're dealing with petulant Man Child....

The UK refused the American's request to use UK air bases to launch attacks on Iran.

So that explains Trump's about turn on the Chagos Island Treaty

Will the Stanley Cup winners do the same thing as well as the US Winter Olympic team??

Mind I get images of him reviewing every Olympic medal win (Non - US) in 2028 and awarding them to US athletes

Senator Ron Wyden, said details from his Finance Committee office's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's finances shows a massive Treasury Department file locked away in a cabinet drawer, containing records of 4,725 wire transfers totaling nearly $1.1 billion flowing in and out of just one of Epstein's many bank accounts.

So he's saying that if we "follow the money" we'd surely get leads as to who was directly involved in helping Epstein traffic all these children.

The US Supreme Court has struck down a number of the Trump initiated global tariffs.

Trump's sweeping global tariffs struck down by US Supreme Court ruling - follow live - BBC News

How I read today reports.
China has said attacking Iran is a red line. Putin's told the US that it is sending oil to Cuba despite the embargo.
Portugal have said that they will accept US attacks from their bases.

However the US have accepted that Iran can continue to enrich uramium. Talks are now on how much.

But you can't always rely on what's being said. And also Trump changes his mind all the time. Like raising his illegal tariffs to 15% from 10%

He's Using these acts to by pass Congress because they are a tax and taxes have to be voted on by Congress.

He could just bring the Tarriff bill before Congress, why is he so scared? If it passed it would become law legally.

Currently using a 1975 act to enable his worldwide 10% Tarriff citing it as a payment dispute. Now wants it at 15%.

The Supreme Court which is filled with Trump apointees and is Republican Favored voted against him.

So they do have a backbone at least and not just blindly loyal.

Again it is American business' who import foreign goods who pay the tarriff then have to decide if they absorb that extra cost or pass it on to the American Consumer.

Another distraction from the Epstein files. Iran war and release of UFO files in back pocket if this fails.

Also worth noting Amy Coney Barrett who is a Trump appointee voted against it.
