There are already lawsuits filed for refunds of tariff payments. Of course the money will go to the companies that made the payments. All of us who actually paid them by paying more for basically every consumer good are out of luck.

Some of us paid it to import companies prior to delivery (DHL charged us an extra $40 bucks for a couple items my wife bought online).

So let me get this straight, the companies that raised their prices based on Trump's tariffs get to apply for a refund with no requirement to lower prices and pass that refund on to the consumers who actually had to pony up the money at the 'cash register' every day. Once again, corporations get an undeserved bailout while the American consumer gets shafted. Typical.

At his White House news conference, Trump announced alternative options, including an immediate 10% global tariff. Lol, the US is a clown show.

Not a serious country. Just a pedo haven for reality tv stars.

What is he going to do with all the imaginary revenue from the tariffs now lol?

Don’t you know the US debt went down?!

If down, really means up. To the tune of adding $2.25 TRILLION since the orange dementia fat fuck took office for the 2nd time.

So the only thing they rule against Trump on is the issue with almost zero human rights consequences. Everything else that is immediately endangering and killing people, no worries!

So they are going to pay it back right?……….Right?

To some corporations I'm sure. Not to the consumers that actually paid the cost of them. A lot of corporations bought surplus before tariffs went into effect. Then they raised prices as if the Tariffs were affecting them instantly. Now some will surely get pay backs and double dip in the profits.

This has been and always will be a tax on the consumer and the working class. It is nothing but capital consolidation methods and class warfare. Those loyal to Trump get exclusions and profit from the Tariffs. Those that do not are hurt (all small business and some larger corps that don't play ball).

It is a means of solidifying loyalty to the fascist state.

This seems like a job for drumroll+horns CHUCK SHUMER & HAKEEM JEFFRIES Dynamic duo of incompetence extraordinaire!

This criticism makes no sense. Articles of impeachment require a simple majority in the house and then a 2/3rds majority in the Sentate.

The dems don't have the votes. Jeffries likely couldn't even get it to the house floor for a vote. Johnson wouldn't allow it.

Like we can critize them for giving the Republicans their budget or about 1,000 other issues within their power, but this isn't something they can deliver. Unless a lot of Republicans suddenly grow a conscience

So is this an impeachable offense? Im pretty sure if i broke federal law, i would be hunted down and thrown in jail.

If you have ever thrown away junk mail that was not addressed to you, caught certain types of fish, or possessed certain plants or fungus, congratulations! You have already broken one or more federal laws

Whoa. Well, I bet my pants that Justice Clarence Thomas is a dissenting opinion. Does it say in the article?

Truly setting a new record for being on the wrong side of history 100% of the time.

It was supposed to be once the bread and circuses became unaffordable, but we're all so overworked that we don't have the energy to punch up.

Companies that made the payments already sold their rights to this refunds to investment funds for cents on the dollar. Now the funds will make shitload of money. And guess who invested in all of it? Yes, people connected to Trump! https://www.wired.com/story/cantor-fitzgerald-trump-tariff-refunds/ They straight out robbed everyone.

Yet another outrageous wealth transfer... It's almost like a game to them at this point - how many ways can they extort the American taxpayer before they either run out of ideas or we put their heads on spikes?

Even better than that is all the shit that he implemented claiming that the tarrifs would pay for them aren't going anywhere

I'm shocked! SHOCKED I tell you! I am. Sincerely, I'm shocked. This is quite the surprise.

Why? Lutnick's kid had a financial benefit in the tariffs getting overturned. The Epstein class helps each other

I posted this link before. Sometimes I feel like not everyone here is reading my comments.

Seen it for the first time today, so yeah, your comments don't reach everyone

Or before everyone is so poor there's nothing left to steal.

Remember all the SciFi movies from the 80s where the ruling class lives in skyscrapers and everyone else is fighting for survival in slums ruled by gangs? With militarized police murdering people left and right? Turns out people that came up with this were 100% right.

I wonder if post-refund if a class-action lawsuit gets opened. While lawyers would take a huge cut, at least some would make it to the population.

It's already trickling down : from public government money to private business owners.
