and when the jackass starts bashing the Supreme Court decision, will ANYONE in the MEDIA point out that the problem

wasn't the supreme court decision, it was the power hungry megalomaniacs in this administration that exceeded his authority by using an "emergency-powers" law to impose his global tariffs and import taxes.

Too bad most of the press also hasn't pointed out that the tariffs have added extra costs to consumers.

When they ruled earlier that Trump was not liable for anything he did in office that could be construed as an official act, they opened the floodgates.

That’s prolly not good enough for some people though. Doesn’t fit the narrative. Also, I’m pretty sure MOST of the media has been pretty clear about the relationship between tariffs and added costs to consumers. Kind of explains why so many people are not happy about tariffs.
