“Let me be clear, this is not about shielding incumbents or boosting challengers,” Martin said.

Liar liar pants on fire. These people are so steeped in their own bullshit that they can’t even recognize how full of crap they truly are. I’d be willing to bet if this guy could reverse AOC’s win in the primary in her district in New York he would do so.

Yeah, none of that shit was planned. His little “Now’s a great time to buy!” message was just his way of making sure the market didn’t continue to spiral downward due to his incompetence with the tariffs. Trump is simply full of bluster and pomp but there’s no actual intelligence behind any of it. He’s a used car salesman trying to sell his broken down policies to the people who voted for him. He’s also trying to sell himself to those billionaires. Hoping for a golden parachute when this gig finally expires.

The guidance also includes exclusions for other electronic devices and components, including semiconductors, solar cells, flat panel TV displays, flash drives, and memory cards.

So what does that leave? Oh right, food. It’s not like that’s gotten super expensive at all lately.

It’s the belief that you can spend your extra money because you’re not going to go broke next week due to the stability of “the economy”.

I’m personally saving every single penny and not buying a single thing beyond what I absolutely unequivocally need.

Note: It’s also entirely possible I may take my extra dough out of my bank and buy gold like one of the crazies on TV because confidence in the dollar is… slipping.

Not to mention the mass sell-off of debt bonds that is going to bankrupt our country.

I don’t want Waltz anywhere near the presidency.

I would definitely vote for AOC any day of the week though.

P P P Please papa Trump??? Don’t fuck my stock price up???

I hope this shit absolutely tanks Tesla and SpaceX as well as every other company Musk owns.

It also forces farmers to sell more of their products here in the U.S., to bring grocery prices way down. We’ve already seen this with eggs.

The absolutely stupid thing about this particular statement is that egg imports had risen to meet demand which was forcing egg prices back down. The tariffs are going to completely reverse that.

He’s hedging his bets because he wants to get re-elected. And if you fall on the wrong side of this you are 100% going to get shit fucked in the next election cycle.

I don’t have a positive view of a lot of countries, especially ones that are actively murdering men, women, and children but I am not advocating for the destruction or death to the inhabitants of those countries.

You are making yet another false equivalency. “Please stop murdering people and grant them freedom from oppression” does not equate to “I wish to see you and everyone around you dead”.

Saying “free Palestine” does not equal “down with Israel and the Jews”. Wanting freedom from oppression for one group is not an endorsement of violence or oppression against another.

And here several days later they are still trying to gaslight everyone into believing that it never happened.

I asked my maga father that, the only answer he could come with is the “Trump promised he wouldn’t touch it”. These people are pathetically brainwashed into believing that Trump is looking out for their interests and not his own self indulgent bullshit.

Entitlement is literally the term for social security and Medicare because those who’ve paid into them their whole lives are 100% entitled to receive payments from those programs.

This is also coming out of Forbes. I would take anything they say about Trump or Elmo with a grain of salt because they’re on the side of the wealthy elites.

He’s simply even more popular with the people he was already super popular with. He’s just not losing the die-hards, which is how msnbc seems to be measuring his popularity right now.

And it’s true. Every conservative who believes in Trump that I have encountered is super happy about all of that shit that he and Elmo are doing to our government. They actually think he’s getting rid of waste. Of course they only think this because none of his cuts have impacted them yet. And because they’re conservative that’s all that concerns them. As long as it doesn’t impact them it’s not a problem.

He wasn’t in command of ICE under Obama. He was just commended for being a good employee under Obama. Trump made him a “border czar” (whatever the fuck that means). He apparently chaffed under the Obama administration’s more lax policies when it came to border security and is much happier under Trump. Clearly to the detriment of everyone who isn’t white.

In order to split the party we need a strong group to gather around in opposition to the established liberal party. And unfortunately the trademarked Progressive Party™ is owned by insane people that no one wants to have anything to do with. So another name needs to be thought up.

Well I guess it’s a good thing I have begun my 4 years of austerity. I am not spending one dime more than I need to for necessities. I cancelled Amazon Prime a year ago and will be making every effort to buy whatever necessities I usually would get from there elsewhere.

There’s an argument to be made that just engaging his bullshit gives it weight. Something about arguing with a pig just gets you pulled into the mud and the pig likes it or somesuch. (I know, I butchered that saying).

I honestly prefer the angle of “Oh, you listen to Joe Rogan. Then clearly your opinion is of no consequence and I want nothing with you”.
