Nintendo sued by players who say they should get any tariff refunds received by the US government (www.gamefile.news)

Two gamers have filed a class action lawsuit against Nintendo, alleging that the company will be unjustly enriching itself with any refund it secures from the U.S. government over widespread tariffs last year that, among other things, hiked the prices of Nintendo hardware and accessories.

“Unless restrained by this Court, Nintendo stands to recover the same tariff payments twice—once from consumers through higher prices and again from the federal government through tariff refunds, including interest paid by the government on those funds,” the suit states.

Like everything else Trump does this too was a grift by him to funnel money to the rich. He should be a part of this law suit.

He's criminally protected from any official acts while in office, remember?

(A Supreme Court decision made during Biden's term, it should be noted - he was also criminally protected from any consequences of his official acts as president, and they specifically gave the example of a president using Seal Team Six to assassinate their political rivals. Biden didn't even try using that power against Trump in any way. Assassination was probably off the table lmao but he could've done extrajudicial surveillance or such. He didn't, because they're all owned by the same oligarchs and Zionazis.)

And a civil lawsuit would be paid by... the taxpayers.

You don't get to win when the other side makes the rules. You have to stop playing the game, or get as close as you can.

He's not protected from things moving towards him at terminal velocity. That's the other solution.

I get what you're saying, but it's gonna bug me if I don't point out that the only direction you can achieve terminal velocity in is down. It's the maximum speed something can achieve by just falling
