The Trump administration has excluded smartphones from its steep “reciprocal” tariffs as it battles to calm global markets by tempering its approach to the multifront trade war launched by the president.

According to a notice posted late on Friday night by Customs and Border Patrol, which is responsible for collecting tariffs, smartphones, along with routers and selected computers and laptops, would be exempt from reciprocal tariffs, which include the 125 per cent levies Donald Trump has imposed on Chinese imports.

A Beehaw user using slurs, not something you see everyday....

(I was under the impression Beehaw was "Aspiring to bee a safe, friendly and diverse place")

They're going to attack LGBT people and say they're pedos for being LGBT.

Unsurprising as most of the "pedophile hunters" are extremist by nature, so it makes sense why they would also subscribe to extremist ideologies like Nazism and queerphobia.

I always knew there was something wrong with that these people were doing but couldn't exactly put my finger on it and never talked about it because people would've yelled at me and used false dillema arguments like many people who criticized them back them recieved "You support pedophiles you removed"

I tried to jump into a pool from the two story window at my house as a stupid teen. Ended up missing the pool and landing on the concrete I broke my right arm in 5 places, broke my right femur and fractured my right kneecap, broke 13 ribs, and got a skull fracture. Was a miracle I didn't have a brain bleed or punctured lung. Even to this day I still have a limp in my right leg and there's still a piece of metal in my arm and one in my femur. Was literally the dumbest thing I ever did, 0/10, not worth it at all.

I'm glad I never played that game. Call me old fashioned but I prefer the original Pokemon games on the Gameboy, that's all I ever played. It was fun going to friends' houses and gatherings and trading Pokemon over Link cable. Fun times.

They're saying the quiet part out loud at this point.
