Imports to busiest US seaport tumble 11.5% in November as tariffs bite, port executive says
The nation's busiest seaport handled 11.5% less import volume in November than in the year-ago month after shippers built early inventories to avoid President Donald Trump's tariffs on goods such as toys, auto parts and metal furniture, Gene Seroka, executive director of the Port of Los Angeles, said on Tuesday.

couldn't even go 3 months.....3 MONTHS!! without an ethics violation.
The confirmation process has utterly and abysmally failed the US citizens in this term of the Trump administration.
He shouldn't be judge. He doesn't understand the responsibilities of office, and senators KNEW it.

Emil Bove, in his seven months in the Justice Department, has emerged as one of the most divisive figures in the new Trump Administration. Last week, he received an ethics complaint after attending a Trump campaign rally. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...
The Federal Judge at the Trump Rally
Emil Bove violated a basic tenet of judicial ethics, presumably on purpose.

I would love to see a study on the costs of moving vs savings of .5% inflation reduction, and how long it would take of lower inflation rates, to actually make up those costs.

Trump logic.
- We are enormously in debt.
- Tariffs will pay off the debt soon.
- We will wipe out the tariff benefits with Dividend checks
- You're a fool if you don't like tariffs
Points 2 & 3 don't work together.
Also, he just ruined his arguments in the supreme court that tariffs aren't taxes.

The reports about the Epstein files being way worse for Trump than we know, by leaks from the DOJ, must be absolutely true.
If Trump is trying to distract us with 50 year mortgages, and dividend checks, and paying us instead of health insurance companies, it's got to be REALLY bad.

This is a digital sales tax, which he can't implement, as taxes can only be raised by Congress.
