Trump’s Proposed Tariffs Will Hit Gamers Hard (Gizmodo) *UPDATE* They’re here

[Jonah]

I do like that people are framing this as Trump's Tariff War

Its not just "Trumps" tariff war, this is on the hands of the whole republikkkan party

They could have easily blocked it, hell they can still stop it.

But they refuse to! because they can get everything they want out of it while using trump as the fall guy

That was always the plan.

McCain would've been POTUS even after the Bush fcckups

Nah the biggest what if was ROSS PEROT ran during a social media era. He got 18% of the popular vote as a third party...that is still fukking insane. He would have carried states, I am certain of it.

Covid did a number on retro gaming, even the DS line rose like heck.
