Give us a non-laughable explanation then on why Trump put tariffs on an island not inhabited by humans and only by penguins with the last human visit on the island being done 12 years ago. What are the penguins exporting to the US that need to be tariffed when imported to a US port. And I'm being serious here so don't come back with a meme.

Disaster capitalism refers to the exploitation of natural or man-made disasters. It involves using unstable social, political, and economic situations to impose or benefit from deregulation and the privatization of public assets. The term was coined by Naomi Klein in 2005.

DOJ prosecutor, Rueveni who questioned the Trump administration’s decision to deport a Maryland man to El Salvador has been placed on indefinite paid leave for a “failure to zealously advocate” for the department — less than 24 hours after defending the gov’t in federal court.

Great post. This guy was a really good guy and its a shame he's no longer in the country. You seem to be always on theright side of these stories.

I am sure the MSM is telling the truth and the following is just a lie ...

The media’s favorite “Maryland father”, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is actually a member of the brutal MS-13 gang in our country illegally. In fact, DHS intelligence reports show that he is involved in human trafficking.

or this one ...

The asshole you’re talking about is Kilmar Armando Abrego-Garcia, According to court filings in 2019, Abrego-Garcia was found to be a member of the MS-13 gang and was subject to deportation. The Department of Justice said in its filing that Abrego-Garcia is a danger to the community, and there is a "strong public interest" against importing alleged members of a violent gang into the U.S.. Just because you don’t like the violent truth about Abrego-Garcia doesn’t mean that truth should be ignored.

Here you go with more lies.These Democrats are going crazy with the lies!

We've all heard the phrase "stereotypes exist for a reason".
We have all also heard the phrase ... "The Left can't meme".
Both in one meme.
The Left is like a restaurant with unlimited refills

Which human rights did they not have? The living conditions were better for the average person compared to anyplace in human history.

And if that 45% did vote, you think it would have made a significant change? I don’t know that he was senile at that point, but he did a great job working with Volker to lower inflation and he helped get the economy going. Since he’s been president, we’ve had 4 recessions start, one was due to covid. From 1953-1980, we had 6.

I do on that electoral map of 1984

And that’s what you want for the people you don’t agree with.

A corporate government is what you claim fascism is, where the political leaders take their orders from corporations. Fascism is where the dictator gives the orders. If you disagree, tell me who was giving orders to Hitler and Mussolini.

No just pointing out facts that you’ve been fooled by grifters who sensationalize everything so they’ll get your money.

Dude, its called the Gilded Age for a reason. You wanting to go back to that time proves what a sociopath you are.

He was a senile fraud. I lived it.

Gay

and that's what you created in your head where you are always the victim.

I didn't say it. Mussolini did. Ask him.

I have been fooled? Maybe you should reread your post history. LOL

yep

Yes, all business taxes should be eliminated.

You have to have some concern that the goodwill that is being burnt might make the medium and long term outlook look less positive.

Can only bully your friends for so long before it loses the effect, or they wont be your friend any longer.

Yeah, I'm more worried about them not being a friend any longer. We could end up pushing them into the arms of people we're not friends with. That's one of the reasons I supported the nuclear deal with Iran the Obama Administration negotiated, if we're too hard on them, we will push them into the arms of Russia and by extension, China. The northern end of Iran is the Caspian Sea, and the northwestern section of the Caspian Sea has the delta of the Volga River and Russia. The same concept applies to trade deals and taxes.

RFK Jr.: “Addressing the opioid overdose crisis...is one of many critical steps we will take to Make America Healthy Again.”


Is that why he's dismantling the HHS agency that addresses the opioid crisis?

The Democrats are now lying to cover up all their lies over the past 4 years.

That's true, I believe the USA has a trade surplus with Australia, as well as a free trade agreement where they tariff virtually nothing we make, and Trump makes the products imported from Australia 10% more expensive. I bet a lot of other countries will want to line up to make deals with us when Trump can rip them up on a whim.

Watch her lie. Why do people still watch CNN?

[DwightShrute]

You support/rationalize everything Trump does or says. Your post history is proof.

Your love of Trump prevents you from admitting what's been happening for years.

[guitarjosh]

Hareeba is correct about the GST excuse being economics 101 level incorrect.

But anyway, it's done. Australia should actually get an advantage versus countries like China and India who got hammered for a lot more.

It sucks, but at least we know where we stand and can stop acting like we need to support USA at every turn in future. I think that will help us too.

Still pointless and doesn't disprove anything I said about living conditions and human rights. Harp on about your love for Robber Barons all you want. One thing being bad doesn't make the other good.

45% of voters didn't vote, Reagan was senile and putz.

Do you see red everywhere?

and?

Still a corporate government and in line with fascism. You defending it kind of proves that.

Smelling your own farts again I see. LOL

Since you put up the map of 1984,
As much as I disagreed with RR He would never give in to Russia. They are as evil now, as they were, when they were the USSR. We have a leader now that is not half the man RR was. I'm not a fan of RR, but at least you knew where he stood.

Trump hasn’t given into Russia, in fact there were reports last weekend that Trump is furious at Putin.
