Not true. Bait and switch.

There is lots of evidence Epstein and Maxwell trafficked girls to Epstein and Maxwell.

She tried to tie Prince Andrew to this :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

And Bolton is an evil person but he's right. Trump has not stated the goals and has both indicated we would engage in regime change, but has also waffled on that. We know where Bolton stands (and I disagree with it), and he admitted as much. All he did was point out Trump is doing the Trump thing of reacting without stating a goal, so that he can claim his plan was successful, post-hoc.

The UK government owns the bank, not the other way around.

The Rothschilds didn't own the bank prior to nationalization, also.

"The damage" is established by the money taken via illegal tariffs.

"The extent of the damage" is the amount taken via illegal tariffs.

By showing tariffs were illegally taken and the amount taken? :confused:

re: Latest NFL.com mock draft

He looks and plays like a safety in the box.

He has the freakish ability to play the 3rd safety role that's becoming a major cog in modern defenses while having legit LB size. So unlike a Kyle Hamilton or Nick Emmanwori, who are large for safeties (6-3, 220 range), he's a legit LB who could theoretically move into that role. In theory, he could be a legit unicorn that can play 4 different roles on D (off ball LB, edge, nickel back, 3rd safety). Kind of makes him a different positional value proposition than just "OLB" or "S".

I have come around on Love only because of the lack of elite talent at elite positions this draft.

Styles, Love, Downs, In that order (Downs not performing at the combine is a major red flag to me, and he had multiple injury flags which may make me eliminate him from my list entirely).

If Bailey somehow slides to us, it would be insane not to pick him, but that's probably just mock draft stuff and not IRL stuff.

Not relevant to the language I responded to (see the quoted language) with that question.

Try reading the words posted and quoted and try to follow the actual conversation being had, and not trying to create a diversionary side track or just asking an irrelevant question (not sure which was your rhetorical error, it's either intentional dishonesty or lack of ability).

A party seeking damages has to prove:

a) they suffered the damage
And
b) the extent of that damage.

It's the amount they had seized via illegal tariff.

This isn't a tort claim.

So it's basically a paperwork and process error, not necessarily a problem with any tariff. Why would any refund be issued?

Because the tariffs were illegal. Null and void. Any amounts collected via this illegal behavior was collected illegally.

This is so fricking retarded.

It is not

quote:
Trump has the authority to enact tariffs

Only if Congress authorizes it.

As I said, there are multiple options that would have permitted him to issue these tariffs. He chose to enact them pursuant to a statute that did not authorize the admin to issue tariffs. They fricked the frick up.

quote:
but because he said he was using statute A instead of statute B, then they are null and void even though he has the authority under B.

That's how a system of laws, our Constitution, and government works.

quote:
Issuing refunds when Trump has the authority to tariff just because Trump said the wrong number is the height of stupidity.

Did you feel the same way about Biden's student loan forgiveness? His vax mandates?

quote:
If you agree with the refunds, then you simply care more about the process of the law then the law itself and the actual results. It's so mind-numbingly stupid to think that way.

Yeah if you ignore the procedural requirements of each law, which makes a huge difference (and why the admin tried to avoid certain regs by choosing the IEEPA).

I didn’t say that it did

So why ask the question in a thread specifically about the impacts of the ruling you now admit are not relevant to your question in any way?

quote:
These are the methods by which other countries protect their own industries and we cannot use these same methods

This is not true. Why do you think we cannot use the same methods?

quote:
The response will be that we need to go through congress and the senate to get it approved appropriately.

Wrong again. There are already avenues that were already passed available to the admin. They chose another path using another already-passed statute that didn't authorize tariffs.

The latter

We already have road maps for this. When taxes are ruled illegal this "pass onto consumer" step of the analysis doesn't exist.
