U.S. imposes 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian products. Canada will impose retaliatory tariffs

Reply in thread

After the Supreme Court struck down much of Trump's earlier tariff program in February, the administration turned to other legal authorities. For Canada, Trump invoked Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, a rarely used Depression-era provision allowing tariffs of up to 50% against countries deemed to discriminate against U.S. businesses.

The administration has a full time team of lawyers grepping every corner of the Federal code to justify anything they do with obscure law and bullshit arguments.

Having a seizure? Let me taze you

County Jail on charges of resisting arrest and battery. Afterward, he was released "still wearing nothing but his underwear and a disposable hospital outfit; he had no wallet, phone or money," the complaint states. "He did not remember Alice's phone number in the jail and they would not help him contact her, so he walked in his hospital slippers about a half mile to a gas station," where workers helped him call a taxi.

I’m familiar with the case but not this detail. Seriously, fuck these thugs.
