Sure lets just film the Lord of the Rings in fucking Arizona ffs.
“It’s all computer”
Everything’s computer
Do you mean "the cyber"? As in the thing Barron does so well?
That piss was digital.
I know it hasn't stopped this administration yet, but he doesn't have that authority:
50 U.S. Code § 1702 (b) The authority granted to the President by this section does not include the authority to regulate or prohibit, directly or indirectly— (3) the importation from any country, or the exportation to any country, whether commercial or otherwise, regardless of format or medium of transmission, of any information or informational materials, including but not limited to, publications, films, posters, phonograph records, photographs, microfilms, microfiche, tapes, compact disks, CD ROMs, artworks, and news wire feeds.
He thinks he is a king, so....
If you proclaim something and it happens because no one stopped you, you are king.
"You are talking to a KING!"
"Byah!"
"And now I've struck a King! Did my hand fall from my wrist?"
Joffrey is an infinitely better king than this fucker ever was.
Raped fewer children too.
Died quicker too.
All that law is saying is that that specific law does not grant the President authority to regulate, it does not supersede any laws that do grant Presidential authority to regulate imports.
Tarrif authority granted to the President was done by the 1934 Trade agreement act, 1963 trade expansion act, and the 1974 Trade act. They give the President authority to impose tarrifs, for nantional security, nantional emergencies, or unfair trade practices. Even in those cases Congress has the ability to limit the president's power to impose tarrifs as they have the ultimate authority outlined in Article 1 section 8 of the constitution.
nantional
Authority doesn't exist. He does likely have the power however.
I would find the enforcement of the statute as funny as the next person. But wouldn't the commerce secretary be initializing the tariff here not the president?
turns out you can in fact do precisely whatever the fuck you want if you can just write a tweet and whoever has the authority just does it unquestioningly
Cabinet is part of POTUS office.
His smug face just screams: Please beat the shit out of me. I deserve it.
Sure.... Aaarrrrrr
Damn. Guess I'll have to keep not paying for media.
any bingo card suggestions for tomorrow? mandatory lasers on cats? mountain dew fueled cars or crops? rename the universe to ameriverse?
did the US nazis even finish their stupid wall?
Okay, at first I literally did think this was an Onion headline, it's so fucking idiotic.
Unlike a lot of people, I think the orange shit-head is more evil than stupid... But goddamn, he's also incredibly stupid.
Good video by Dan Murrel on the subject. There is a colonel of truth in that there has been a race to the bottom for film studios. But this is unlikely to help the situation, and will likely only lead to fewer movies overall.
This is an attempt to control media. It has nothing to do with money and everything to do with silencing outside voices who can be critical of him.

I wonder if the same will happen to foreign video games.
"I am now implementing a 200% tariff on Genshin Impact, for supporting Chai-na. Chai-na is trying to steal our money...all of our money...and they're doing it by tricking us with big-eyed freaks. Chai-na always talks about "the Rising Sun", so why would they make big eyes, you know? It make no sense. No sense. So we're gonna tariff them, and it'll be great, because we'll show the criminals and murderers who make that game what happens."
Yeah having terroriffs on something that is easy to pirate is really gonna force them to make these foreign films in the US. What's next, putting tariffs on streaming services? "Those bits must be made in America!"
