I appreciate you don't accept that a massive trade disparity is a net loss for our country. You seem to believe that wealth flowing out of our country is a good thing. I maintain that funding the rise of our biggest global competitor, a self-avowed enemy, one many are predicting a proxy war with, and one who has stated their goal is to replace us as the world's economic superpower is a bad thing for our country. We have literally built up and funded our competitor/enemy. The hope back in Nixon's time was that by engaging China we would open up massive markets for our goods and we would bring them into the world economic fold creating interdependence and enhancing peace. For a brief time it seemed to be working, China, however, retrenched in its own unique system. It has rejected mutual benefit seeking instead world domination. Our trade practices, our endless desire for cheap goods we throw away with a country which steals our tech, our intellectual property, a country which uses slave and child labor to produce those goods, a country which ignores all environmental concerns and which props up regimes antagonistic to us while engaging in an arms race with us is funding our own demise. It might be one thing to have a trade deficit, but one of this scale, based on unfair practices under international law and norms is not a positive. I suggest that instead of looking for articles which echo your preconcieved opinion that you consider the matter afresh, but you do you.

You do realize this is one of the most treasonous acts ever in this country, right? Giving illegals social security numbers so that they could vote and skew elections in favor of democrats. The amount of voting fraud has been massive. It's all coming out. This and other treasonous acts democrats committed. If you are a liberal, at least realize your party has been subverting our democracy for a long time now. https://x.com/MarioNawfal/status/1910871079972729269?s=19

I have sort of forgiven the Saints for stealing away Jimmy Taylor and Paul Hornung from the Packers. They were basically cooked by then anyhow, and Taylor was just going home, but it cheesed me off at the time.

Well he tried to have the last one killed, so yeah.

Yes. A lot of men dress up in drag because it allows them to get closer to children without some parents freaking out. Have you seen some of the videos of drag men dancing with their legs spread and their crotches in front of a kids face? If he wasn't dressed in drag to give the illusion of being safer, almost no one would be OK with it. Sane parents won't let their kids around that type of energy. Some parents are clueless. Then other parents are child molesters themselves so they thrive on that type of energy.

Is there one shred of proof that she was a DEI hire outside of the assumption that she got that position because she is female? If not, then that part the OP should be deleted.

I agree. Fnord and the general don’t play like that

Why wasn’t JD Vance fired for this? “I think we are making a mistake,” Vance said to the group chat, which included Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, national security adviser Mike Waltz and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, according to the report. It doesn’t appear that the president was included in the group chat. “I am not sure the president is aware how inconsistent this is with his message on Europe right now,” Vance added. “There’s a further risk that we see a moderate to severe spike in oil prices. I am willing to support the consensus of the team and keep these concerns to myself. But there is a strong argument for delaying this a month, doing the messaging work on why this matters, seeing where the economy is, etc.”

I've posted 7,290 times on here since August 14th, 2001. That's .84 posts per day. That leaves me with plenty of time to be a loser in the real world.

I watched about 10 minutes. Interesting. The Detective is claiming forensics found "ejection marks" on the round and that those marks are exclusive to his gun. That's news to me. Either there have been advances in forensics or the Detective is full of sh!t and just trying to get the guy to confess based on the other "evidence" they have. Best to assume the Detective is full of sh!t and keep your mouth shut.

In 2024 four women had four star ranks in our military. Now there are zero. This is what I voted for. Thanks 45-47.

Oh noes

Doesn’t matter retard. And yes. Every woman that would rise to that position is a dei hire. Cause they simply couldn’t become that without getting special treatment. That’s an absolute fact

You mean that girl in that movie about a fictional character that never existed? lol

They look kinda similar to me, I think I actually prefer Hailey, but just my opinion of course

My understanding is that China is already suffering economically and cannot afford not trading with the USA. i think your point about the government there being unmoved by suffering is a valid one though. How many millions died during the Great Leap Forward? But I really don’t look at this trade war in terms of winners and losers. I don’t see any winners. I think both sides lose.

Nothing to see hear, nosirree. Move along. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office resulted in a purge of books critical of racism but preserved volumes defending white power. Excerpts below

You’re such a good example of “mindless member of the mob”.

Look. I am not a giant fan of the tariffs--outside of reciprocal ones. I also am taking a wait and see approach. Unlike so many, I am not doing anything with my 401k or my investments. I think it's dumb to do so. Additionally however, if anyone believes China can win a trade war with the US long term, you're insane. A long term tariff battle against the US will destroy their economy. Now I know Timmy will come in here and say it will destroy the US as well, but nope. They need us way more than we need them.

Negative. I'm rooting for American farmers, American small businesses, American consumers. all of which are suffering at the hands of a mentally unwell egomaniac. Who are you rooting for?

Ok, just got the results from my second opinion on thi colonoscopy. They found found five polyps that are sessil and not have malignancy and removed all of by freezing. The one on my brain will have to be monitored by MRI every six months.

And you have posted on all five.

You guys are trying to make yourselves feel better with “I could never have voted for Kamala” nonsense. Here’s why it’s nonsense: 1. Trump’s tariffs are either going to severely harm our economy or destroy our economy. Those are your two options. There’s nothing else. Don’t take my word for it; listen to the economists. 2. Kamala Harris wouldn’t have done this. And that’s all there is to it. No matter how much you might have disliked her other policies, or her personally, none of that is at all important compared to this issue. So yeah, sorry, you guys are going to regret your vote. You blew it.
