Summary

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) warned of uncertainty over Trump’s sweeping new tariffs, saying, “In the long run, we’re all dead,” and slammed blind loyalty to the policy.

While Kennedy didn’t vote against Trump’s emergency tariff powers—unlike four GOP senators—he criticized the lack of clarity on economic impacts.

Trump imposed a 10% baseline tariff on all imports, falsely claiming foreign nations will bear the cost.

Kennedy told Newsmax that predictions on the tariffs’ effects are unreliable, adding anyone claiming certainty is “lying” or “selling deep stupid.”

      We’re much more civilized and advanced as a society compared to those days. Surely we can make laser guillotines with a machine that can process the corpse into compostable material.

      Really, the only difference is how much blood you want to see. Result’s pretty much the same.

      Considering modern US history you could put them in high school, I guess?
