The FBI has all the phony ballots and the Election Board is going ballistic to get them back.

Checks & balances! I can't wait till he declares himself President for Life. Ha! His idea was so stupid that the Supreme Court he handpicked voted against it...that it was ILLEGAL! But that won't stop Trump...he'll find other loopholes or illegal avenues to get what he wants. That's all he does! Cheers!

Does anybody actually think today's decision is the end of it? I'm just happy to see his handpicked justices remind the country that we still have a few checks and balances remaining in this shitshow True , but this does not prevent a refund of tariffs paid so far. Should be a massive windfall profit for retailers. I doubt individuals will see a refund, but business certainly will. I that know the tariffs were tracked at the company I work for.

Guess we'll check back in another year to know if he's right.

Then you have the results and then you do something else which takes another year to be checked...talking about a functioning state of law...i guess 50% wanted a dictator anyways so i see already celebrating that Trump can just do what he does to make the US "great" again...

Luke Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Trump is no different than the local guy at the fishmarket with his tariffs haha

The ruling was almost inevitable (famous last words) but the timing goes to show that you can rule even against the law and when the ruling hits you just go to the next workaround and have another year or so. I think the delayed ruling was the favor Trump got from the Supreme Court. Trump demonstrates that you can pretty much rule by executive order and there almost no timely checks and balances for these. Edited February 21 by Spekulatius

The judges are bought by libtards and democrats!! If they would have properly read the law than they would have sided with trump but they didnt not and trump did read the law fully...we need the tariffs to fight back against all the countries that take advantage of us like china or now canada where they soon will no longer be able to play ice hockey anymore...thank you for your attention to this matter.

How many lawsuits did Trump try and bring after the election and lost them? It is troubling that the FBI has now broken the chain of custody over these ballots so can now make up some kind of false claims. Why is the FBI / Director of National Intelligence wasting time re-litigating the past and Trump's grievances? There are way better uses of their time....

The fun is just starting now that the FBI is in control of the ballots. Look for the same in Maricopa County (Phoenix). It's going to be a great show.

The new tariffs are under laws which either limit them to 150 days or require months of studies prior to implementation both of which entirely defeat the purpose for imposing tariffs in the first place. In addition, with the precedent yesterday there will be no arguments to not return money collected once they wind their way thru the courts. Either way, this puts them smack dab in the middle of midterms - which isnt going to go over well. Edited February 21 by dwy000

Maybe the republican Georgia Governor Brian Kemp would have initiated an investigation if there was any legitimate merit! The issue of course is not the "recount" - which is just sleight of hand to distract from the key issue, which is "legitimate voters". The Fulton County board of Electors has already admitted the following: - Trump lost the election by 12,000 votes - During the recount, some ballots were counted multiple times. - Auditors confirmed hand counted vote tallies did not match the actual votes within many batches - thousands of absentee ballots were not returned in sealed envelopes, indicating fraud. - on the deadline day for the recount, 511,000 votes were counted, but the next day Fulton County bumped the number to 528,000. In addition, voter rolls included hundreds of registered voters born in the year 1900. Thousands of voters were registered as living at parking lots, closed homeless shelters, UPS stores and storage units. Oh well, the FBI has hundreds of signed affidavits about voter irregularities- and is now in possession of all the ballots from Fulton County. This is going to get fun.

Idk anything about the facts of the case and frankly don't care to. What I want to understand is: So why isn't the state investigating it? Elections are held by the state, correct? Seems like more federal overreach. Edited February 21 by Eng12345

They found no evidence of widespread fraud or of mistakes that would have changed the results of the election. So basically the same results as every other Republican led investigation into election fraud. DJT can't stand the truth and thus continues his weaponization of every federal branch into a retribution machine What we DO have are audio recordings of Trump pressuring Georgia officials to "find the votes" - but there's nothing suspect in that at all!

Yep the tariffs had two strategic pillars - raise revenue and re-industrialize America....he can use 122 or 301 to cobble together the revenue but the second strategic pillar just collapsed....no company will look at the current tariff levels think of them as permanent and as such its completely failed as a re-industrialization tool and as I argued many many pages ago the 1st step of re-industrialization (because you've tariffed intermediary goods) is actually de-industrialization as you've hurt the marginal industry that is ALREADY operating here who's input cost just went up......we are of course seeing this in the aggregate data where manufactoring jobs are falling and the trade deficit is the largest its been since the 1960's. What we are witnessing right now is policy that most likely doomed to fail anyway just because of its ambition (but also because the avg tariff rates are actually too low to change the supply chain math)......the reality is the policy got killed when it was less than a year old......Trump should be thankful in a way. It was a dumb idea doomed to fail as executed.....he can now always blame the Supreme Court for it not working!

But it's a federal crime to vote with someone else's name/identity. There are a whole host of federal voting crimes that can be committed - that's why the FBI is involved. They've lots of affidavits supporting the problems in Fulton County. You wouldn't want the State to just let those slip would you? Neither do the feds. There is a reason Fulton County is fighting so desperately to get the evidence back from the FBI. Fulton County should be welcoming the investigation if there is nothing wrong. How embarrassing would that be for Kash Patel?? Unfortunately for them - Fulton has admitted to tons of "errors" and problems in vote counting, etc. They're screwed. Oh well - gonna be fun.
Mephistopheles Posted February 22 Posted February 22 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/21/karen-newton-valid-visa-detained-ice Man, this is infuriating. I wonder how many of the cult (and the non cult) Trump supporters are also Munger supporters. Take power of incentives, add a dash of the Stanford Prison experiment, while pissing all over the constitution and you end up with this insanity. Locked in a prison cell with the lights on 24/7? That’s what they do in Russia. 60 days, no due process, for a 65 yo white grandma legal tourist from Britain. I wonder how much in bonuses the guards at Auschwitz got paid?
