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.”
Isn’t Foghorn Leghorn quoting Keynes here? Why, I thought Keynes [1] was right up there with Bill Ayers and Saul Alinsky [2] in the pantheon of Bad Guys the cons don’t know a fucking thing about but constantly talk about.
[1] I’m still convinced a lot of racist dumbfucks thought that Keynesian had something to do with Kenyan, because Obama is Blah.
[2] I remember in the height of qons talking about “Alinsky style politics” I’d ask them to explain what they mean by that? Also, have they read Rules for Radicals? If so, what is so bad in there? What is the book about? I also asked them if the mere use of satire is “Alinsky style politics” does that mean Mark Twain had a time machine and he traveled into the future to get tips from Alinsky or something? Hilarity would ensue…
Didn’t they try to tie Hilary to Alinsky too? Ms. “Super predators” herself.
