    How cute. I attack your faux identity and you retort with personal insults.

    People who continue to blindly support the previous administration and the current state of the Democrat party are not highly intelligent by any means.
    You don't owe your life or identity to the Democrat party. Learn to be an individual and think for yourself

    You insult our intelligence with every sentence you type. You're a troll with nothing better to do than collect a disability check and post crap on this forum. There isn't a soul here that takes your bipolar barely coherent rants seriously.

    I finished 5 years of trade school while working and then university a few years later. That's the perfect storm for a braindead moron per 123.

    eh every incumbent in the world with elections last year lost because of inflation prices. They just didnt have a moron like Trump as the alternative. But the democrats are terrible at messaging in general considering how how impactful many bills they passed and Biden avoided a significant downturn/recession coming out of COVID and by most economic metric was doing well enough. Biden also took too long to leave but It wasnt like the GOP got their even more flawed candidate to leave either.

    The irony of saying people need to think for themselves when you clearly do not. Perfect.

    They chose a conman over Nikki Haley who I wouldn't really have a problem with. She's smart, sane, and NOT Trump...yet here we are again with the worst possible option. No matter what you watch or where you go you can't avoid politics these days.

    Looks like Trump caved, and not the Canadians or Mexicans. There is no shame in doing the right thing and correcting an earlier mistake. Glad the tariffs are paused.

    Nope. Trump folded.

    There were no results to be gotten. Trump picked a fight with our allies and neighbors, and then saw that it was a bad idea, wouldn't work so he folded. That's actually a promising sign.

    Not only did Trump cave but everybody knows it - you can tell because the usual trolls don't even have the energy.

    But Trump will get the MAGA-verse to believe he got Mexico and Canada to blink.

    Mexico sent 15,000 troops to the border in 2019, and sent 10,000 again in 2021.

    All Trump had to do was try some diplomacy and ASK. (Not that he has the guts to sit down and face the leaders of the nations he's going to f*** over for no good reason). But there's a grift in here somewhere. Trump and/or the gajillionaires close to him must have some sort of angle to play the market in all this.

    And so many Americans are either too stupid or too gullible to understand that Trump's got the Viagra, he's got the lube, bending them over like a prison b**** (or hiring someone to do so). Maybe like that dog unable to leave its owner, taking the occasional kick to the ribs (no matter how bruising or brutal) and sleeping in the drafty mud room off the back porch so long as he still gets those moldy table scraps, unwilling to understand that life would actually have been better elsewhere.

    I had a nice conversation with a very decent 90 year-old dude at The Woodlands mall. Originally from Nebraska. We actually had a lot of talking points in common (FDR, Churchill) but he had voted for Trump despite "hating a lot of what Trump says" and "hoping Trump doesn't issue the tariffs, we'll all be paying more" and wishing "Trump would just let things go, he's always holding a grudge", and I was aghast, wishing I could just scream,

    "Why the f*** did you vote for him, then?!?! GODD*MN!"

    Trump promised tariffs on Mexico and Canada, during his campaign.

    MAGAs then said "don't be surprised if Trump does what he says".

    Trump starts tariffs on Mexico and Canada ... and then folds like a house of cards the next day.

    Tariff are officially paused ... and will be revived the next time Trump wants to win the 24h news cycle.

    This just like what a non-serious person would do. Just like.
