    Trump Is Focking Up My Ebay Sales!

    Work how? What are you expecting they will do?

    Do you guys ever get burned out?

    You guys voted for him, I didn’t. There’s never been a guy so ubiquitous. Personally I would love having a President we didn’t have to talk about all the time. I thought the nickname “Sleepy Joe” was great. I miss him, don’t you?

    I’m willing to question the media now.

    Not nearly as much as I used to. But I don’t trust conservative media either.

    All right. A whole lot you here on the right have been telling liberals like myself that the mainstream media is full of sh!t for years, deliberately lying to me and everyone. I’ve never bought into it. Call me obtuse, naive, a moron, whatever. I’m not sure I’m buying into it even now (still skeptical about the “deliberate” part.) But yeah they really blew it. Again. And I’m open to the discussion. Gonna be a long time before I trust the news again.
  6. It isn’t, because he’s obviously lying. Whenever something becomes unpopular he tries to pass the buck. I keep telling you guys that he’s the least alpha President we’ve ever had but it falls on deaf ears. It’s all a con.

    LIBERATION DAY: USA and China agree to a 90 day pause on most new tariffs

    U.S. economy now in reverse: https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/30/economy/us-gdp-q1/index.html Trump amd MAGA will no doubt try to blame Biden (in his interview last night Trump blamed Biden at least a dozen times for everything wrong) but this is 100% on the tariffs.
  8. Here’s what’s fascinating to me: I expected your point of view on this to be the majority opinion. My views on these issues are never in the majority. But I saw a poll last night that said that 54% of the American public want this guy returned to receive proper due process! Thats stunning to me. And extremely hopeful.

    6 dead as car drives through daycare in Illinois

    Thats true. We should never do this. Politics should be out of bounds in these discussions. I’m going to assume she is a Patriots fan.

    So apparently Trump called Bezos to express his displeasure and Amazon has backed down, they’re not going to do it. I guess Trump thinks that people buying stuff on Amazon simply won’t realize the reason for higher prices…if it isn’t pointed out to them, they’ll never make the connection.

    I hope he doesn’t. It’s a catastrophe for the rest of us too.

    I believe that as costs rise the net effect will be less cars purchased not more.

    Annexing Canada

    I’ve always thought you were all about metta world peace, except for a few Detroit Piston fans who you reasonably believed deserved being smashed in the face.

    LIBERATION DAY: USA and China agree to a 90 day pause on most new tariffs

    A lot of people criticized Bezos when he announced a new direction for the Washington Post editorial board a few months back, remember? They accused him of caving to Trump. But what nobody mentioned was that when he did that Bezos stated “we will stand firmly for free trade”. This has always been his position. He hates tariffs.

    Annexing Canada

    I just read a description of Carney’s political views on Wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Carney They’re pretty mainstream. Certainly not a modern day conservative. But hardly extreme. Is there something we are missing here?

    Annexing Canada

    I know nothing about the guy but I’ve read he is a liberal. What makes you call him a far leftist? ( Unless your position, like many here, is that all liberals are actually far leftists?)

    Annexing Canada

    No. There is NO chance of this either way.
  18. Yet another thread filled with knuckleheads. First the dude who started the thread who assumes that any criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic. Then the actual Jew haters show up. What a bunch of focking clowns you are.

    Shedeur Sanders is being disrespected.

    Your ignorant racism almost makes me sympathetic to Shedeur. Almost.

    Well not everybody. You for sure but who needs reminding of that?

    Dallas Mavericks Trade Doncic for Lakers Anthony Davis

    Yeah I don’t buy any of this. But we’ll see.

    Dallas Mavericks Trade Doncic for Lakers Anthony Davis

    Lakers appear to be too small as many feared. Though I wouldn’t be shocked if they came back and won this series, it’s seems unlikely now. That’s OK. I think LeBron is healthy enough to play 2-3 more years at this level. They’ll get a couple of bigs in the summer and then they should be the favorites I think.

    Everybody Hates Trump

    First off I don’t hate Donald Trump. For me hatred should be reserved for truly evil human beings. I regard Trump as a schmuck who is unfit for his position, but I don’t hate him. As for the polling: we all knew he would overreach and he has. Hardly surprising. But yeah, it’s the tariffs that have done this. And the thing is, we haven’t really seen the effects yet. That will start in a few weeks when the current supply of cheap goods run out and there is nothing to replace them. Prices are going to go way up overnight. It’s too late to stop: even if Trump were to lift all tariffs today it’s still going to happen. Most of the public have no idea what’s coming…
  24. If the economy was doing OK I think most of the public would be indifferent to Trump going after his political enemies. With the economy not doing OK it’s going to annoy a lot of people. Not that it matters to Trump; despite his bluster he’s not running again so he doesn’t care much about public opinion. But it WILL matter to other Republicans, especially those forced to run on his coattails in a year and a half.
