The Real timschochet

China is wrong. Two months of 145% tariffs followed by 30% tariffs is not a win for them. We can’t afford to buy as many of their products and they can’t afford to buy as many of ours and both countries ar being unnecessarily punished as a result. China and the U.S. should agree to NO tariffs on anything. Complete, unfettered free trade between the two countries. Both nations would become immensely richer.

I just sent you a PM

I think he honestly believes that his supporters will be stupid enough to blame Walmart and not blame him. Based on their track record he’s probably right.

Good luck to you. Hope things get better. You’re a 100% right on this. I got a buddy from Wales, mid 50s, refuses to have a colonscopy. Keeps insisting he doesn’t need it but I figure he just is terrified of the prep. I’ve done it 3 times now, it’s no biggie. And I keep telling him but he won’t listen. I fear that someday he will get bad news that was unnecessary…I hope not.

Biden is the reason Trump imposed tariffs and demands that Walmart eat them?

You’re lucky I did. It gave us a 4 year interim of sanity.

Every day I say the same thing, but…so embarrassing. How did we ever choose this imbecile to be our President?? How did we ever choose this imbecile to be our President TWICE??

Prices going up up up

@Voltaire if you’d like I’d be happy to send you a private message explaining my posts from over a decade ago, what my intent was and why I am neither a pedophile nor approver of pedophiles, and why at the time I took the exact same position on Roman Polanski as Harrison Ford, Sigourney Weaver, Ben Kingsley, and Adrian Brody, all of whom worked closely with Polanski AFTER the incident referenced and all of whom made a similar argument to what I made at the time (I have since changed my mind based on facts I wasn’t aware of back then.) But I’m not going to do it here. Let me know, thanks .

MAGA used to sell “8646” t-shirts on Amazon.

Riversco?

Of course. Although when Biden proposed it every Republican voted against, and complained about overspending. But I’m sure you approved of it though right?

Hey I have no problem with what Trump did: I approve 100%. But YOU don’t get to call it “winning” and then at the same time pat yourself on the back for 20 years of complaining about spending. Liar. Hypocrite.

Just yesterday you celebrated Trump spending money on infrastructure. You posted it and called it “winning.” Hypocrite. Liar.

Crybaby Trump tonight: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/05/16/trump-attacks-supreme-court-venezuelan-deportations/83679791007/ “The Supreme Court is not allowing me to do what I was elected to do!!!!” All 3 of his appointees voted against him. Lololol

It’s not a long term problem. Once Trump is replaced with a Democrat in 2028 it will go right back up. We’re in for a rough 4 years though…

Well we definitely disagree on the first one. On the second two, who knows?

And you did.

Well this thread is about Republicans. And I am not aware of any Republicans in favor of of reparations (unless you want to go back to General Sherman I guess…)

Case in point.

Sorry at least some of them will likely be stopped for now: https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/05/16/supreme-court-alien-enemies-venezuela-deportation.html

Well except for you. You respond to me all the time. Guess you’re the exception?

Did Trump just threaten Bruce Springsteen? https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-warns-springsteen-ought-keep-151423368.html

Too many trolls

There are no deals. The UK “deal” was the concept of a deal. The China “deal” was an agreement to negotiate later. The 90 deals in 90 days is completely non-existent. Apparently nobody has agreed to anything. Meanwhile Walmart has announced they’re forced to raise prices and that’s just the beginning. Look for Target, Home Depot, and others to follow next week.
