So are we getting tariffs tomorrow or was that just some bullshit?

 

[pwnest injun]

Are you feeling liberated by what has been? Nothing says liberation like 25% tariffs that the consumer will pay.

Imagine how angry the Canucks have been over the 293% tariff/tax they've been paying on dairy products for decades! I hear it made milk so unaffordable that they had to start putting it in bags to save money.

Disney+ is not profitable. It won't be profitable for another few years. It was a 10 year loss before it became solvent and that was based on 2019 estimates. Disney knew this going in but had to make a landfall for streaming. It may or may not be worse off now. A lot of those estimates were based off the idea that Disney+ was going to be performing well. Instead, the platform is dying. Kathleen Kennedy has nuked Star Wars from orbit as an IP. The MCU streaming shows have all been various degrees of terrible and were expensive. Their movies are doing moderately well but that came at the cost of the theatrical releases. Then you had Scarlet Johansson's lawsuit that dealt Disney a devastating blow as now they had actually had to pay talent and couldn't get out of it. I don't think the shows are solvent. I think all the OG Disney+ shows were losses. I can't name a single good Disney+ show not named The Mandalorian. If Disney were to come out now and say Disney+ wouldn't be profitable until 2035, I'd wholeheartedly believe it. If anything, I think Disney+ has done more harm than good for Disney.

Historians will study the downfall of Disney for 100 years in order to determine how to go about destroying things liberal faggots and/or nerds like in a way they not only don't resist but outright embrace. They basically infected star wars and marvel shit with cultural AIDS.

They did by accident what the feminazis tried and failed to do to to video games with minimal fallout. I am still not convinced the slow death of cape shit, race swapping, and female directors isn't an intentional couterpunch for gamergate. Trump got them to destroy themselves in a way that improved his numbers and turned public perception agaisnt their gay ideals.

These 2 assholes and the Supreme Court at the time are more responsible for our countrys democracy never haveing a long term chance than anyone

This is absolutely retarded revisionist history that I have to wonder what retard grifter you got this idea from.

Without Marbury v. Madison, the Constitution would not be considered law at all. Judicial Review is a direct consequence of recognizing the Constitution as an actual legal document and not just some non-binding statement of ideals a la the Declaration of Independence. You cannot recognize that the Constitution, which includes the bill of rights, as being the supreme law of the land and also say that a law cannot be declared unconstitutional. That doesn’t make sense.

Without Marbury v. Madison we would have no Constitution today. We would be on the same level as Britain.

Two days from now. April 2nd. Same day as the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct.

The check on legislatures passing unconstitutional legislation are lamp posts.

If we could only be so lucky.

Let's be honest, nearly all of those calling themselves patriots will just bitch about it online then go back to drinking their Miller Lite and eating Taco Bell.

 

[Party Hat Wurmple]

Even netflix is sort of fucked because their own content isn't worth it but enough people are too lazy to cancel after years that they're remaining profitable way llonger than people expected

I'm not convinced about Netflix. I really believe this shit is Operation Mockingbird 2.0. Nobody has access to their finances. They finance disaster after disaster. Nobody can see how successful a show is or isn't.

It has been really funny watching all the big beer companies desperately try to embrace local marketing to make everyone forget they sell faggot piss water.

Have you bought laxatives before??

Taco Bell is way cheaper.

Does it even have any cultural relevance anymore? Last show I saw discussed that came out of Netflix was the school stabber one all the UKies are freaking out over.

Pretty sure theyve been forced to let people see viewership data for a couple of years now. That was one of the big things the strike was about. Hint all that reality show and Adam sandler trash is the only stuff being watched.

But overall they make so much money it doesn't matter if their TV shows or movies don't get watched.

Theybe been slowing down their release schedule too and shoving way more reality shows down people's throats

Armored Vehicle found at the bottom of a swamp, soldiers not inside, still not found

This was not training accident, armored vehicle was 15ft underwater without the bodies inside or nearby

Edit: now reading conflicting reports 3 of the 4 bodies are found, lots of different stories right now



According to multiple sources this is the armored vehicle in question a M88- Hercules armored recovery vehicle
Source of type of vehicle


The vehicle in question only holds a crew of 3 making the 4th body not being found yet all that more suspicious

NBC video less than an hour old confirms 3 soldiers are dead, as well as the vehicle type

The monero dude in the MATI streams would probably have Words about that.

But.. I was told by everyone we'd be drowning in recession by now! The Blumpf economy would be a new Great Depression!

I was reading some replies to the news and it is hilarious watching retards talk about the "stock market crashing", when it is a few percentage points from the high and still 5,000+ points higher than the 1 year low.

The left will be in deep, deep shit in the midterms if the economy goes well. They almost have to have a crash or they're screwed so bad. So of course reddit et al are going to be screaming about every downturn and denying any up.

Of course the same side that couldn't stop talking about how great the economy is doing when a Democrat was in office will not stop saying how bad it is now that a Republican is in the White House.

That looks like the nigger whipper 5000.

Two days from now. April 2nd. Same day as the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct.

Trump just randomly shows up in the Direct announcing that the Switch 2 will not be affecteded by any tariffs

What I never understood is why the Feds WANT debanking in the first place.

The fed also wants to phase out physical currency. Tell me, what happens if someone physically can't get paid at all for their work?

The check on legislatures passing unconstitutional legislation are lamp posts.

Not when all the lamp posts are made of chinesium.

 

[Fishmalk Observer]

This is tangent to the thread, but tommorrow Carney ( the unelected governor of canada) is suspending the carbon tax on canadians (something he literally stole from the cons, like all his good ''ideas'' )

That should cause around 1$ less a gallon for gas in canadian fun bucks. EXCEPT for quebec, who in some truly mongoloid manner decided to join fucking CALIFORNIA to have their own carbon ETS ( Emission trading scheme, a tax for pruducing X quantity of co2). So, from tommorrow onward Quebec will pay a full buck extra per gallon. Obviously, quebec gonna drop it because it's political suicide, and leave california hanging there alone and unloved.

Probably got stuck and then the crew slowly got poisoned by swamp gas and became unable to extricate themselves or get help.
