The main villain in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace is Darth Sidious, who is secretly Senator Palpatine of Naboo. He's the mastermind behind the Trade Federation's invasion of Naboo and is manipulating events to gain political power.
Another prominent villain is Darth Maul, Sidious's Sith apprentice. He’s the more visible antagonist who fights the Jedi.
At this point it's not clear which of Trump's two closest fucking idiots emulates Darth Maul more accurately.
Tariff facts with a bit of snark — humor may not help but it can't hurt! Humour helps, too!

People had been expecting #Trump to announce high #tariffs, but these numbers are stunning. In addition to a 10% tariff on ALL COUNTRIES, dozens of other countries face extra tariffs between 10 & 50%. That will force some manufacturing back into the US, but will also definitely raise costs for American #consumers & #manufacturers & incite #TradeWars on many fronts.

On the nature of the US trade deficit with Canada:
The era of deep economic, security and military ties between #Canada and the #UnitedStates "is over," Prime Minister Mark #Carney said Thursday, after President Donald #Trump announced steep auto tariffs. Trump's planned 25 percent levy on vehicle imports to the United States is to come into force next week and could be devastating for a Canadian auto industry that supports an estimated 500,000 jobs. FRANCE 24's Christopher Guly reports from Ottawa.

#Maine #GovernorJanetMills fires back after #Trump's demand for 'full throated apology'
by Randy Billings, Mon, March 24, 2025
Mar. 24—"Maine Gov. Janet Mills on Monday brushed off President Donald #Trump's weekend demand that she issue a 'full throated apology' for publicly challenging him during a White House event last month.
"The governor responded to Trump's social media post while at a public event in Bangor. But it was not an apology.
"Mills contested Trump's claims that he wants to protect women through his executive order barring #TransgenderAthletes from women's sports, pointing out that women in the United States and around the world will be hurt by his moves to eliminate #ForeignAid, attack #SocialSecurity and #Medicaid, and impose #tariffs that will spark #TradeWars and drive up consumer prices.
"'If the current occupant of the White House wants to protect women and girls, he should start by protecting the women and teenage girls who are suffering #miscarriages and dying because they can't get basic, life-saving health care in states across this country,' Mills said, according to the Bangor Daily News. 'If he truly cares about women and girls and people of this country, let's see the economic plan. Let's see the health care plan. Let's see the education plan.'
"Mills, who was in Bangor celebrating the purchase of a mobile home park by its residents under a new state law, added that 'if he cares about women and girls, he should talk about the little girls and boys and infants in #Sudan and other countries who are dying right now because he has cut off their supply of food and life-saving medicines.'"

Why does #maga want #canada anyway?
It's full of Liberals and Socialist. They already hate the west coast states which are culturally quite similar, especially Washington and Oregon where I grew up.
Arguably they have EVEN MORE, and even their CONSERVATIVES don't like MAGA, and are more moderate.
SO are they gonna deport all of them too?
We don't want your apologies, Americans. We want you to light a fucking fire under your elected representatives. Phone, email, snail mail. If you don't want to see Canada or Greenland annexed, then make your voices heard.
@andyjennings
Good to see cooler heads prevail. This is the correct response to #Trumpian bullying. There’s a global market out there, not just America. Slapping our own tariffs on US goods and services would only hurt the Australian consumers and the economy.
There are no winners in #TradeWars. Remember the ’pig iron’ export ban to Japan which (among other fiascos) led to war. The 1938 Dalfram Dispute.
Pass it on, tell your friends! Support Canadian ONLY, no products from the USA! #cdnpoli #boycotttheUSA #boycottUSA #trumptariffs #trumptradewar #trumprecession #tariffs #recession #trumplies #tradewar #tariffsdontwork #usa #tradewars #trump #trumpfail #politics #uspolitics #fucktrump
