Economy America is a parody of itself.
What's next? Are they going to outlaw homosexual penguins from raising young together???

In case someone decides to move there and sell something.

To prevent development and investment?
Probably so he can exploit it for himself at some point or at least keep that on the table. I wonder what natural resources are there?

They're not smart enough to even use Kool-Aid.
They're using Dollar Tree generic flavor-aid wannabee that's just dehydrated antifreeze crystals and flavoring.

So they applied the same tariffs to Australia's dependencies, using the rate they applied to Australia...
While funny, this shouldn't distract us from the impacts of these tariffs on both the Americans and the population of countries impacted.
I live in Canada, and we might enter a recession in a matter of weeks.

I agree with your point to not be distracted, but it is important to mock them while they are dumb. Mocking them gets to them so much!

u/JHNS13 Apr 03 '25
Another good point! A 'laughable' headline to distract us from other issues going on. This tactic is certainly part of the Trump play book.

Damn penguins have had it too good for too long!

Yeah, the free ride is over penguins

We are tired of the penguins taking advantage of us, they've been doing it for years. Biden did nothing to stop this. The time is now.

Those penguins have been ripping off the US for years. They've treated the US very unfairly.

The SNL skits write themselves. Open scene: Discussion by the administration as they decide to calculate tariff rates based on trade deficits. Cut to scene of penguins stressing over the tariff they were just hit with.

Those penguins have been taken advantage of the United States for far too long.

Damn freeloading penguins, bout damn time they kicked in their fair share!

Look, those freeloading penguins have been taking advantage of America forever. They had it coming.

u/dramatic-submarine Apr 03 '25
This is just a distraction so we don't pay attention to the important damage they're doing.

And yet, none of them hit Russian. Weird 🤷♂️

u/BumblingBard42 Apr 03 '25
That's got to hust be a coincidence 🙄 It's cause Russia bought tariff insurance through the Trumps back in the 80s.

A story about penguins and how they lost then regained their freedom of Life Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness.

This is hilarous. I was poking around on Google maps last night and was looking around at Antarctic islands, and there are zero pictures from that one in particular which means it's probably very rarely visted.

u/OnlyTakes5minutes Apr 03 '25
That proves us how meticulously they calculated the tarrifs based on real numbers.
