  1. I think Trump will threaten a lot with these tariffs, but in the end I think it is all bark and no bite. I don't think you will see blanket tariffs against China. China isn't stupid. Since the last rounds of tariffs, they have been making significant investments in other countries so they are able to backdoor the tariffs. All those investments are in emerging markets. Emerging markets are the largest growing group of consumers in the world. So put tariffs on China and China will start directing their exports through these investments they have made in emerging markets. US would then have to put tariffs on products coming from these merging markets. Of course China and these emerging markets will respond, which will effect US exports About 30% of US exports go to emerging markets. It will be mostly bark and very little bite.
  2. So does the ocean, tsunamis still suck though.
  3. Correct. They also don't care if you are a legal or illegal immigrant, nor whether you had reassignment surgery in prison. Nor do they care about the amount of fracking. They don't even care if you make up your own facts to make yourself feel better. But, let me ask you this, if you go to your boss and tell him you only want to work 10 hours a week in stead of 40 hours a week. And he then approves your reduced work hours, but doubles your hourly wage. Are you going to be upset your earnings are down?
  4. The "checks and balances" are people in the right positions making the right choices. 2016 taught them to ensure those people are MAGA.
  5. Look I don't really agree with Trump, so I don't like the legal immigrants who are accidentally getting deported, but aren't those deportation camps awesome!
  6. You are conflating wages and earnings. This is going to blow your mind, but it is possible for your wages to go up and your earnings to go down......
  7. So Kamala is bad cause she now allows fracking? Wait till you find out Trump was a Democrat in his past.
  8. Shiloh Heavenly Quine became the first person in the United States to receive state-funded gender-reassignment surgery while incarcerated in 2017 Don't you look at facts before you vote?
  9. I can't control death, but when a loved one dies I still get emotional.
  10. I think this is pretty representative of what actually happens. When they aren't sure if they are going to win, they hide their true selves. They stand for nothing. But then when they feel they have group support they let their true selves come out. It is what weak bullies do, what weak men do.
  11. Ohhh Are you saying Trump is a liar?
  12. There are some pretty weird outcomes. North Carolina is one of them. Pretty much the entire ticket went blue, except President. D Governor D Lt Governor D School Superintendent D AG D Rep x2 R President
  13. yeah, I noticed the numbers started increasing after Pearl Harbor too.
  14. You keep saying that, thinking you have a point. But just scroll down the following and even without math and percentages you should be able to pick up on a trend........

  15. US crude oil production was higher under Biden's first 3 years than Trump's 3 highest years combined.
  16. gender affirming care was offered in prison under Trump's presidency.
  17. correct, though the US has a very long history of not doing that. Unless you truly believe women and POC are simply not as smart as white men.
  18. Wages have been outgrowing inflation for the last 18 months.
  19. If it doesn't, why did you add commentary from McConnel to begin with? So when you said we could breathe easy because a politician promised something, you forgot about this? Or you were deliberately lying? What were you trying to achieve?
  20. Interesting you would pick that one and not one from an adjudicated rapist.
  21. I agree that the average American would indeed not understand the difference between a time frame and a moment in time.
  22. Sure, can also be used to ensure it only delivers Musk approved content. Or only works in counties that vote according to Musk's wishes.
  23. He is celebrating a hoped for mass firing of civil servants by an Elon Musk led department.
