"STRONG WOMEN ARE THE FUTURE"

"The U.S. Women’s Olympic hockey team made history with their third Olympic gold, beating Canada's powerhouse team in overtime. 

The men’s team also won their third Olympic gold ever; but despite equal work and equal outcomes, the response was very different. 

The men got a personal visit from the FBI director and a call from the president. 

The women’s team, by contrast, was mocked by Trump and laughed at by the male athletes. 

It’s a reaction we see too often. Not just in sports, but at work too. Highly qualified, remarkable women being treated as second class citizens. 

We need to call it out every time."

Trump, again, failed at leadership. His inability to acknowledge the US women's hockey team, as he acknowledged the US men's team, for their remarkable achievement shows us what a sickening misogynist he is. 
 

 

PS:  The last time we heard "locker room talk" by Trump was when he bragged about sexually assaulting women, because he's a "star."

SNOWPOCALYPSE!

 

MOI!

We've been there and done that!  Many, many times!

CONGRESS AND TARIFFS

 

Justice Gorsuch explains:

Trump Rages Over SCOTUS Ruling.

‘I CAN DESTROY THE COUNTRY!

TRUMP GOES BALLISTIC OVER SUPREME COURT RULING

RAW STORY — President Donald Trump erupted at the Supreme Court on Friday after it ruled against his authority to impose sweeping tariffs, vowing to circumvent its decision with “alternatives” and lambasting the justices for their "ridiculous opinion,” which he claimed permitted him to "destroy" countries.

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 earlier on Friday that Trump acted outside his authority when imposing his sweeping tariffs, which his administration had justified under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). As such, a significant share of Trump’s tariffs have now been declared unlawful

“The court said that I'm not allowed to charge even $1! Can't charge one dollar to any country under IEEPA!” Trump raged during an address from the White House.

“But I am allowed to cut off any and all trade or business with that same country; in other words, I can destroy the trade, I can destroy the country! I'm even allowed to impose a foreign country-destroying embargo, I can embargo! I can do anything I want, but I can't charge $1!”

Trump has staked much of his presidency on his tariff policy, warning over the past several months that a ruling against the policy could lead to a $2 trillion “catastrophe” and reduce the United States to “almost Third World status.

Now that the Supreme Court has ruled against the tariffs, Trump appears ready to circumvent the order through alternative tariffs, tariffs that he argued could generate “more money.”

“I can do anything I want to do to them, but I can't charge any money,” Trump continued. “So I'm allowed to destroy the country, but I can't charge them a little fee. How ridiculous is that?”

SCOTUS STRIKES DOWN TRUMP’S TARRIFS!

 

Supreme Court strikes down Trump’s one-man tariff war

In anticipation of the high court’s ruling, big-name companies like Costco, Revlon and Bumble Bee Foods filed lawsuits in the U.S. Court of International Trade to secure tariff refunds for billions of dollars.
