    Yeah...I'm a bit worried

    The narrative that countries are taking advantage of us was created by Trump and is simply not true.
  4. So I prove you wrong and your only reply is that I'm a banned alias? Does being proven wrong by a banned alias make you feel any better?
  5. Modern Slavery Ranks #1: North Korea #8: Russia https://www.walkfree.org/global-slavery-index/ Ukraine not in top 10.
  6. At least you're being honest
  7. It is a big deal, but it didn't happen because of tariffs. 1) Trump never announced any tariffs on Taiwan. 2) TSMC already began a huge investment in US manufacturing in 2022 thanks to incentives by Biden's Chip Act. This current investment builds on that.
  8. No evidence this is a youth or that he was abducted. The truth is that Ukraine does have conscription which is an unfortunate downside of being invaded and fighting for your life. Russia does too. The OP is a Russian propagandist as is the x accounts. We should all seek the truth.
  9. I'll laugh at you in a week.
  10. China and Canada slap back with retaliation tariffs. Ottawa immediate 25% retaliation. China 10%-15% retaliation including food and restrictions on 25 US based firms. Asian markets tank. This is going great. Trump did this. You did this maga.

    It's not meaningless and it's probably not a pause. Remember when trump paused usaid funding? Remember when he paused layoffs. Remember when he paused tariffs? A pause is a stop. In the last week trump has - ended funding of military aid to Ukraine - ended cyber security attacks against Russia - started the process to life sanctions against Russia - berated and belittled the president of a sovereign country attacked by Russia and repeated Kremlin propaganda - instructed the US to vote with Russia against the rest of the world at the UN denying Russia is the aggressor. - announced to the world that he Putin have been through attacks together. Open your eyes Tim.

    Doing nothing? Are you not aware of all the aid and weapons that have gone to Ukraine to help them fight off the Russians?

    When has trump ever lived up to his promises? He's served one term already and has done nothing but hurt Americans.
  14. “Virtually all economists think that the impact of the tariffs will be very bad for America and for the world,” said Joseph Stiglitz, an economics professor at Columbia University and a winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. “They will almost surely be inflationary.” https://tcf.org/content/commentary/economists-agree-trump-is-wrong-on-tariffs/ Economists have long known that tariffs on imports not only reduce the demand for imports, they also discourage exports. This effect arises because as more domestic resources are used to produce goods that were previously imported, those resources are drawn away from export industries. https://www.piie.com/blogs/realtime-economics/2024/what-populists-dont-understand-about-tariffs-economists-do Economists across the political spectrum oppose these ideas, saying the most likely outcome would be higher prices for consumers. Here’s a look at how tariffs work and why they’re so critical in an election in which living costs are front and center. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/tariffs-economists-dont-rcna176164 Why do most economists think tariffs are a bad idea? https://www.afhwm.co.uk/news/why-do-most-economists-think-tariffs-are-a-bad-idea/ Are tariffs bad for growth? Yes, say five decades of data from 150 countries https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7255316/ Leading American and Chinese economists answer one question: name one way the U.S.-China trade war has affected the American economy and global trade over the past two years. Despite the signing of a phase-one deal on January 15, until all tariffs are lifted many of these adverse impacts will continue. https://www.ncuscr.org/podcast/economists-explain-trade-war/ Thus, tariffs result in less efficient production, leading to reduced economic output and lower incomes over the long run. This is the standard analysis of tariffs going back to Adam Smith and the classical economists, who recommended keeping tariffs as low as possible (tariffs were a primary source of government revenue at the time). https://taxfoundation.org/blog/trump-tariffs-impact-economy/

    Repeat more Kremlin propaganda. The truth is it's logistically impossible to have an election right now with millions of refugees having fled, 20% of the country under enemy control, etc. Ukraine doesn't even want an election right now. They voted to suspend elections. You know who wants an election? Putin and now his puppet is repeating the same propaganda, and congrats it's your turn to repeat it too. Two of Zelenskyy’s main political rivals, Petro Poroshenko and Yulia Tymoshenko, have publicly rejected the idea of wartime elections as impractical and illegitimate. Ukraine’s vibrant civil society has also voiced its opposition to the return of elections before a peace agreement has been signed. Meanwhile, a new opinion poll conducted in February 2025 found that 63 percent of Ukrainians are against holding any national votes until the war with Russia is over.

    He doesn't want to the war to continue. He wants Russia to retreat. He offered to step down as president if Ukraine joins NATO.

    Why do you guys like Putin?
  21. How is this an insult? You try too hard. 3 laughing emojis for making sangria for guests?
  22. Made for a party <> drink it myself. I don't like sangria but even if it did who cares. I like red wine but most Cabernet.
  23. I don't drink sangria. My retirement plan is narrowing in seeing where my kids might end up. I still have plenty of time.
