Aren't we expecting these people to remain in that hell hole? I mean, that is what we expect for the Palestinians....so why arent we making those people go back in there and live?

Well, I understand your point of view here. But I think its more of an aside to my point. Still, if you presume the patriarchy is not by design, then it was a natural occurrence due to inherent biological systems and therefore should not be messed with. And, I might note that the areas where we have seen the most egalitarian systems we also see the system drift toward what is being called "patriarchucal"..... as it seems when given more freedoms and fewer restrictions the differenced are accentuated.....the system naturally becomes that traditional model....we are built to succeed through this system..... but I digress. Of course Democrats have allowed unfettered migration to enhance their power. But I submit.....this is backfiring on them. These people want no part of the extremes that liberals now extol

Hmmmm, no, not going to let you off the hook here. Patriarchy as defined by the leftist media is A society is patriarchal to the degree that it promotes male privilege by being male-dominated, male-identified, and male-centered. It is also organized around an obsession with control and involves as one of its key aspects the oppression of women." So then there has been this push against this thing that is asserted to hold down minority groups....well not Asians since this magical patriarchy was crafted to somehow exclude them Now, if liberals want to tout these terms, and ideas, to include "implicit bias" and suggest that there is reason to push back against these things.....then I am within my right to hold that Democrats have allowed immigration, and I can push back by calling it out. During his presidential campaign in 2020, Biden pledged to reverse restrictive immigration policies from the previous administration. He proposed a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, reinstatement of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, and an increase in refugee admissions. His approach was to increase the migration. Again, if Democrats had any notion that these folks would be Republican voters, they would have protected the border, as Trump has done in just a few weeks....

I’m starting to understand you better @RLLD you think the Democratic Party deliberately caused the current immigration mess. Yes, I absolutely believe this. And in part due to their words. You think the MsM deliberately lies to us about tariffs. Not just tariffs, but also Russian Collusion, the Hunter Biden laptop, the presence of inflation, the state of the economy, Trump being Hitler and on and on.... You think Zelensky is deliberately prolonging the war in order to stay in power. No, this is not what I believe about Zelensky You imagine an ordered world and see schemes everywhere. If you are no assuming schemes, notably at the highest levels, I think you are being a bit naive....history shows us we need to distrust power. You think all this stuff is intricately planned by competent people with ulterior motives. Yes, but I might also note that I think most of those in power are self serving, and work to retain their power first....and help the people second Someday you will realize the truth: we don’t live in an Orwellian world, we live in a Kafkaesque world. There is no order; nobody knows what the Fock is going on most of the time, very little is planned at all. In order to believe this you then would have to accept there is no patriarchy, or structural racism, or implicit bias or sexism that drives disparity in incomes etc....are you sure....you want to make that stand right here?

Please. They happily allowed people in, and of course it was because they assumed these were future Democrat voters..... C'mon....if they had an inkling that those people might vote Republican they would have built a 200 ft wall across the entire south. It was absolutely strategic. And frankly, it was pretty darn smart. Except, Trump wont back down from the challenge to remove people here illegally.

You should care. Rather than putting troops in harms way, and having people die, we should be solving our issues in non-combative ways. This nation has lost its ability to influence and we need to restore that ability, Tariffs represent a way for us to influence, secure positive outcomes, with minimal harm domestically. That you fail to see the genius in this move is understandable. I do not see many people who really grasp global geo economic strategies. I have the fortune of having worked for a global company and experience in this area. YOU....can be forgiven, but Democrat leaders....cannot.

I have already spoken to that point. And my position remains. Tariffs are but a small part of a much larger equation and economy, If you want to believe that raising tariffs is some sort of inflationary act we should care about, that is fine....but the truth is that while you can argue that they might have an influence...its perhaps .01% influence....it is not what CNN...MSDNC...or the rest are trying to sell you. They are selling you fear about something that does not exist....not unlike when they called Trump huitler...or authoritarian or any of those other lies... The MAIN influence from tariffs is a profound enhancement of revenue generation, those costs are not passed along to the consumer in the way they are telling you. They are lying..to you...again....and later, when they admit they were lying, i will again....come to you and ask why you keep believing them....

I do not ignore it, instead I note that it hurts other more than us. They have to accept a much higher level of hurt. We can handle it better than they. So if they want to fock around, they will find out. And if you are a politician abroad, you might find that you lose favor so fast....you dare not test us. Rather than leverage the strategy of threatening with our military, we need to once again possess the ability to influence.

I do not care if the FBI is "conservative" or anything else. They violated the sanctity of their role. I am familiar with this move to suggest that "well, they are conservative you cannot criticize them"....but I wont buy it. The people leading the FBI need to go, whether they voted for Trump.....are "conservative"..... or any other irrelevant factor. By their behaviors in executing their role, they have lost the right to remain employed there.

Sweet jesus, you just proved my point!!! Thank you. 1970's.....focking energy, no sh!t eh? How about that.... And there were discussion by Biden to adjust tariffs in 2022....which of course they did NOT do, because they realize that would be focking stupid....so, good on them for that... You sure.....you wanna trot out Argentina...as your proof for economic improvements through tariffs? Clearly you did not research that ... if you had you would know that their actions may have included tariffs, but that was not the solution....they implemented the Convertibility Plan, which provided a hard currency anchor. Trade liberalization was a complementary effort that increased competition and helped lower domestic prices. Did it work? Lets see....while tariff reductions potentially helped curb inflation and modernize the economy, it also led to increased imports and a decline in domestic manufacturing competitiveness. By the late 1990s, Argentina was dogged by rising unemployment and external debt problems related to those reductions in tariffs....raising the tarifs was a better solution, but they only figured that out AFTER they focked it up all it did was lead to a deep recession and a sovereign debt default. Hey, lets absolutely talk about an 1846 economic action in an agrarian society as your proof, by all means.... The immediate effect on inflation was minimal because it was a focking stupid idea. Additionally, global grain markets remained volatile due to the famine, which kept food prices high in the short run. Now you could argue that later in the 1850's prices actually lowered....but I will need you to prove that in those ten years nothing else in the economy influenced it...or are you suggesting that we would have to wait 10 years to see inflation from tarrifs? The actual impact was of course not inflation influence....it was an expansion of access to global markers....but dont let that get in the way of your poor misrepresentation

OK, that was pretty good.....

I am referring to the strategy to allow all those immigrants to come it. Part of the Democrats thought process was that it would be too much effort and too costly to remove them...... I think as a strategy that is sound. But you would need a normal politician in the white house for that to work. Trump will still remove them. I surmise they Democrats were just confident that they would either going to he holding power or Trump would never get back in, so they were confident they could flood the nation with people they thought would be future Democrat voters. Well, Trump won, and that is a big problem for them and this strategy. But, I also would not that hispanics did not vote as they expected. This was something I called out on this site in the past and was lambasted for doing.....by our more conservative friends. My point was this.....Democrats made a mistake thinking that by just allowing all these people in they could suppress their opposition through hispanic voting because these folks are cultural conservatives, and they were running away from all these people that Democrats were now allowing it.

Fantastic. I should be easy for you to then produce an example, from any time, where tariffs were adjusted....to fight inflation....right? I mean, they are so influential on inflation that we obviously used them to fend it off. You can of course look, but you will not find any such example. because tweaking tariffs has no tangible influence on inflation. The economy is too big for tariffs to move the needle.

I see your point. I think that was perhaps part of the calculus of opening the border..... I think in terms of strategy, that is a good one. I think Trump is a different animal. I think he looks at the strategy, and chuckles...and says..."watch me do it".... the calculus on the part of politicians who thought this was an easy win was based on what a "normal" politician would do, they would protect their own interests first....Trump is less that guy so much as the guy who says....fock you, I will do it....

Not saying that at all. We have had inflation, it was fed by key mistakes that we already know feed inflation. By way of example, if Trump were to come out and say he was going to end the oil industry.....we would face inflationary evidence within 90 days....that is the standard period of energy-related emergence of inflationary influence. That is relatively fast. As soon as you threaten that sector, they start baking it into the costs....now....energy is not just the gas pump, it is literally every product we would every buy.....it is not specific components....its its us in every way.....so it would be stupid to....as Biden did....threaten that area.... It would also be stupid to print money and shove it into the economy.....another mistake that has a large footprint. The time to fear inflation was when Biden was throwing gasoline on the fire. It is not that inflation is happening..."now" it is that it happens..... because it is always happening....what you do not do....is what Biden did....inflame it..... Now to his credit, Biden understood that tariffs were a net good, and of all the many things Trump did that he ripped out....tariffs were not one of them....because they are not a problem, they are a revenue generator. So.....if you hear tariffs, they are a powerful weapon....that our adversaries will respect, and hurt them much more than us.....but in terms of the inflationary influence you could say they are a contributor and be right....but you would have to then pretend that something of say .01% influence, was somehow dangerous....and that would not be smart. But one thing liberals do, is foment fear.....

Yes it is. And I have no doubt the Republicans would try to do the same if the roles were reversed. As I have stated repeatedly, inflation is not a univariate outcome. But is DOES have an order of magnitude hierarchy of influence, and tariffs do not crack the top 20. They are lying to you to scare you, to get you riled up about something that is so insignificant as to be almost impossible to ever measure. That is why......get this....no one in recorded history has EVER FOCKING CHANGES TARIFFS TO INFLUENCE INFLATION.....because it wont focking work....jesus.....

Look, what i am trying to convey here is that the tariffs to inflation gambit is a Democrat fabricated and media puppeted propaganda pursuit. Once again, they are lying to you. I want you t know this, because this is a repeatable process. They lie, I call it a lie, you defend them, and then weeks or months later....they admit the lie....and I go find you to use it as an example......over.....and over.... Here is another lie from them....wanna guess what I might do a few months from now when they can no longer lie about it? I will again.....bring this conversation up and beg you to stop believing their lies.....

The FBI improperly obtained a FISA warrant to surveil Carter Page, relying heavily on the Steele dossier, which was a political misinformation campaign originating from the Clinton campaign. The used political bias in their investigations: From the bogus Russia investigation to the targeting of parents and people in churches....... The FBI’s search of his Mar-a-Lago estate in August 2022, was entirely political and part of the overall "op" across the board to denigrate him at every possible turn to influence the election. Lets start with those, the list is if course much longer

Newly elected DNC vice chair David Hogg using platform to solicit donations for his own PAC, insiders say: ‘Doesn’t give an oink’ He didnt event wait a month before he started abusing his position..... he really is a proper Democrat

I want to see people being escorted out of their offices, and I want it to start immediately. At least the main leadership involved in ANY of the abuses from the last four years. GET THEM OUT

Moreover, liberals spent the last few years insisting the economy was just fine......while we already had THOSE prices in play..... Now, all the sudden, they apparently see prices.....and care..... like magic.....

You see what you have been told to see, like a good sycophant. You should be ashamed that you allowed yourself to be manipulated by these people.

Because.....tariffs are NOT.....a direct cause of inflation...... the things I listed ARE direct causes of inflation This is important. When someone on CNN or in government tries to sell you that tariffs have an outsized influence on inflation, they are trying to manipulate you, and you need to know that. Tell you what, show me any example in history where tariffs were adjusted to influence inflation, just one......

Well, I think some of their concerns have merit.....not their menopausal shrieking..... but I do think this not being handled "perfectly". It is clear that not enough analysis is being done, and people who we need are being removed, I think they need to revise their approach and make it better.....as does every entity of course. That being said, Democrats seem to be aware that eventually these people are going to be able to trace some of this money flowing back to them from the foreign entities it is said to be going. Right now Democrats are like that guy who was pulled over, and they stink of alcohol...but want to raise holy hell that the cop had no reason to pull them over.

Felonies only matter if your name is Trump.
