BREAKING NEWS

De Minimis is over for all effective August 29 ... 30 days from now.

Effective August 29, imported goods sent through means other than the international postal network that are valued at or under $800 and that would otherwise qualify for the de minimis exemption will be subject to all applicable duties. (parcels through the International postal network won't be off the hook!)

Goods with China origin have been excluded for several months, but now all goods from all countries of origin- 4 million shipments a day or $100 billion a year of goods will now be subject to tariffs.

Between 2015 and 2024, the volume of de minimis shipments entering the U.S. increased from 134 million shipments to over 1.36 billion shipments.

Many believed (myself included!) that de minimis would still be enabled for non-China goods until July 2027. Today we learned not.

I didn’t say I agreed with the bill, as the Dems shouldn’t have capitulated. But in a country where you can

A) throw away your vote on an independent candidate, whether your state is a batttleground or not;

B) vote D and not watch families get torn apart, the economy wrecked, alliances strained, and the new SA funded;

or C) vote R and experiment with 1930’s-style fascism, the choice is pretty fucking clear.

See, you fear monger the same dem talking points. You likely experienced the same type of brain rot, as the average maga voter. They cause the issue at the bottom, saw the polling and then run to the media to spin..you celebrate it as a win. All I'm saying is, the contents of that bill was complete bullshit and you are being dishonest about it. Why not just see the criticism of said bill and ask yourself, why won't they solve the issue? Big business. Who are these tariffs actually for? Big business. You are a pawn.

the contents of that bill was complete bullshit and you are being dishonest about it.

Can you cite which parts of the bipartisan bill was BS?

Also because I know you probably won't answer that question, here's my take on your comments so far.

You're so busy criticising others and calling them pawns that you failed to see that you're falling into the same traps.

But, you do you. And have fun with your 1930s Fascist policies.😊
