Imagine proposing “rebates” for US citizens with the $ you illegally taxed from the same citizens thru tariffs, raising inflation & destroying international relationships in the process, after losing a big % thru the costs/inefficiencies that you would have avoided if u just hadn’t done the tariffs.

Everybody is talking about the new reporting on DOJ corruption today. Please note this as well: The Trump Murder Memo was also produced by DOJ. It's another window into how badly DOJ has been corrupted.
This is arguably worse than the Bush torture memo. Liberal commentators should talk about it.

Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!

Reselling tickets for profit to be outlawed in UK government crackdown
Touts – and ordinary consumers – will no longer be able to charge anything more than price at which they purchased ticket
Reselling tickets for profit is to be outlawed under plans due to be announced this week, the Guardian has learned, as the government goes ahead with a long-awaited crackdown on touts and resale platforms such as Viagogo and StubHub.
Ministers had been considering allowing touts – and ordinary consumers – to sell on a ticket for up to 130% of face value, as part of a consultation process that ended earlier this year. Continue reading...
