Wait. What? How does that even... I mean. Huh?
Republicans are the stupidest mother fuckers in the world.

What a stupid fuck he is. Let’s suppose that a wave of people do ‘flee’ New York if they elect Mandani…. Should Texas welcome them with open arms? They would be ‘his type’ of people? What a dumb fucking thing to say….. barring all the rest of the issues with something so dumb…..
If he was smart he would promise them a gun and unlimited medical debt and payment in oil credits or whatever MAGAt people like.
It doesn't even make sense. He's just throwing around the word "tariff" because Republican dumbfucks don't know what it means but think it sounds harsh and Trumpy.
Navy ordered 6 new 60mm guns to shoot tariffs at enemy aircraft.
Excuse me? Sixty MILLIMETERS!!?!!!!
Woke fuckin metric bullshit in my military?????
I had sex with a MAGA lady and now I think I have a tariff on my cock.
Hey Abbott, how's the plan to personally prevent every rape in texas going?
Someone needs to push his chair over
What does that even mean?
It will cost Texans twice as much to buy themselves a New Yorker?
I literally exclaimed that aloud to myself upon reading the headline.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariff
A tariff or import tax is a duty imposed by a national government, customs territory, or supranational union on imports of goods and is paid by the importer.
Could be a slip that Texas is finally going to secede.
Or his head has seceded from reality, no one rly knows
It's like a 5 year old mimicking his idiot dad. Would be adorable if it weren't real.
The political equivalent of a toddler tantrum.
Like punishing the people who WANT to leave that "socialist hellhole"... LoL clownworld
He's contracted Trump's tendency to string words together without regard to their meaning.
Popular MAGA influencer Gunther Eagleman wrote on X: "Good! Now abolish property taxes for us that live here."
Take note: property taxes are part of the wealth taxes that people rightfully clamor for. Property tax is something you pay because of what you own, not what you earn.
If anything, property taxes should be progressive, with brackets, and there should be a progressive "stock ownership" tax, too. (Yes, there would be carve-outs for 401ks and IRAs and similar retirement investments.)
Rich people are seething that they couldn't get their puppet elected in a place that makes them so much money.
Republicans punishing Republicans
We hear b******* about how if New York raises taxes then some rich people are going to leave and that's supposed to hurt the city somehow. I don't understand that argument but people are making it and let's assume that they have some basis in reasoning to do so.
Except now he's going to make it more expensive for them to go to Texas. So they're more likely to stay in New York even if they're surrounded by socialists. Is that what he really wants to do? Because I think New Yorkers would like that, because then they can tax those rich m************.
bullshit motherfuckers
You can swear on the internet. Especially on Lemmy. There is no algorithm and there are no advertizers here.
how dare you now I'm not going to all tell you about my products that you don't want to hear about at all.
Twelve years later and oh how the turn tables
Gov. Rick Perry announced Monday that he’s hitting the airwaves in California to tout business opportunities in Texas and invite Californians to migrate.
How is that even legal?
It isn't; the Privileges and Immunities clause of the constitution has been interpreted by previous SCOTUS decision to mean that people can move freely between the States without restrictions.
However, reactionaries like Abbott know they have ideological allies in the current SCOTUS who are eager to overturn case law in order to advance their shared conservative project.
A tariff on zero dollars is still zero. This means he'll be introducing an unnecessary, job-killing regulation that adds more pointless bureaucracy to Texas's already-extreme tax situation.
So, traditional Republican politics.
It's not just not legal, it's nonsensical. Like, what does it even mean? How would it even be enforced? It's just virtue signaling.
You know what to top it off... we'll build a wall on their citizenship paperwork. and we'll build a fabulous ballroom in their houses!
Sorry my buds and I made a bet to take trumps already terrible ideas, and use them in contexts that don't even give an air of making sense.
