All they have to do is follow the law. Law says they can call anyone a terrorist or national security threat and that removes people's rights. This has been law for years. Now, Republicans are using it because they know they will not get in trouble.

You don't have to be in a gang. They will say standing outside of a Home Depot is a lawful reason to send you to a South American gulag. Because Republicans will not get in trouble.

Resisting or breaking the law?

Yup. He was getting deported. Republicans say they just sent him to the wrong country because they are stupid. So that means no Republican can get in trouble. Because "I'm too stupid to get in trouble" is still a god damn thing.

On Wednesday, a spokesperson for China's Commerce Ministry dismissed the additional tariff hike, telling reporters that the move "fully exposes the fact that the United States has become irrational in instrumentalizing and weaponizing tariffs."

"China has repeatedly stated its position on the unilateral tariffs imposed by the United States, and it has ignored the U.S.'s meaningless tariff numbers game," the commerce official said.

He said beijing would take "countermeasures" and see the trade war "through to the very end" if Washington continued to "infringe on China's rights and interests."

China has shrugged off the latest U.S. tariff hike, dismissing the Trump administration's threats as a "meaningless tariff numbers game."

LFP is a good sign. It needs 18 minute DCFC for people who can't home charge but that most likely won't happen. GM also needs to commit to building them and not discontinuing it again.

Good video. Brings some perspective for those outside of China. "I just thought the rest of the world would be at this level by now."

No. 77,000,000 Republicans wouldn't even be able to figure out the instruction manual anyway.

Why buy or collect personal data on Americans when they will just let you take it for free? Republicans are having their fire sale so they can speed run Project 2025.

Yes that was the whole point of the November election. Not enough people sent their message but 77,000,000 Republicans did.

It's what happens when someone tells Trump that China shut off supplies used to make USA's consumer economy functional.

This week, China imposed more export controls on rare earths, which include materials used in high-tech products, aerospace manufacturing, and the defense sector.

And then Trump,

executive order signed by President Donald Trump that launched an investigation into the "national security risks posed by U.S. reliance on imported processed critical minerals and their derivative products."

"There is no winner in tariff wars and trade wars, and China does not want to fight, but it is by no means afraid to fight."
