U.S. President Trump imposed a 10% tariff on Heard and McDonald Islands—uninhabited except for penguins.

Good fuck those commie penguins

he saw that simpsons with homer in the naval reserves
dont underestimate penguins

 

[Catch The Rainbow]

explains my confusion, the numbers on the left dont equal any tariffs

DID I CRACK IT? I think I figured out at least a chunk of the math. It's trade deficit divided by their exports. EU: exports 531.6, imports 333.4, deficit 198.2. 198.2/531.6 is 37, close to 39. Israel: exports 22.2, imports 14.8, deficit 7.4. 7.4/22.2 is 33.

maine's averaged federal funding just for education, if that's all this covers, is between $250,000,000 and $400,000,000. makes up about 10% of their total education budget, so this is not an insignificant amount of money that was just yanked, and that's if they ONLY yanked education funding.

stupid question, what's stopping maine from saying "fuck you, i'm out" and joining Canada? I don't think theirs any major bases up there, right?

their ability to actually defend and enact that statement/decision, and canada welcoming them in, are two that jump straight to mind.

it would be much easier for maine to simply stop allowing men to participate in womens' sports.

Maine has absolute ass-tons of people on food stamps, which are federally funded. Many others are working jobs based out of other states, which means they'd get double income taxed by both Canada and the USA. Maine is overrun with New Yorkers owning 2nd homes, etc.

Computer parts are getting tariffed 25 percent

gamers rise up

Lol...time to play some old games again.

Reasons are

1. The majority of Mainers are not complete fucking retards
2. The US military could easy crush both Maine's national guard, and Canada's military
3. Nobody wants to be part of Canada, not even most Canadians

You don't know how badly I want to change my username right now.

I hope that before he leaves Trump just shits out any facts he has about the 2020 election American unity be damned.

The American people deserve to know a senile puppet was forced upon them by a coalition of the Laptop class and the DC elites who then looted the coffers like none before them.

Lol, like anyone who doesn't believe him would believe him. At this point everyone's made up their mind one way or another.

Bros am I tripping right now or is this happening?

Texas v. White

Supreme court ruled that states do not have the right to unilaterally secede from the union. It would be an act of war.

The Civil War answered the secession question unfortunately.
