I know someone who has a $60K 401K, & he & his wife had to take money out to put their daughter into the 1st year of LSU. There’s a lot of that in this country, they certainly didn’t deserve President Toonces.

I spoke to someone Saturday who had a $35,000.00 storm deductible on their house, which is nowhere near the Lake. And with less immigrant labor & ad valorum taxes piled on top of Canadian lumber by the Mad King construction costs are going to skyrocket. I’d say it’s here.

It’s funny what portion of my post you decided to respond to given your OP. But to this point, no not everyone has 6-8 figures in their portfolio & not everyone has a well balanced book. There are many thousands maybe millions of people genuine harmed by this, & we have deliberately driven our economy towards recession by the hand of one man. Rash, reckless behavior driven by ignorance. Even the maga mad GOP didn’t want this leading into 11/24, but of course they can’t bring themselves to deny this octogenarian country club manager anything.

If Biden had personally overseen this fiasco replete with botching a formula of this nature & wrecked retirement accounts the GOP would have filed articles of impeachment claiming him incompetent for senility within 3 days.

This refers to arrests, not removals. What I posted were removals. The claim by Lyons is about arrests, he's claiming that people were arrested when they were merely processed. Understood. However, what I posted were current (this administration) statistics of removals under the Biden and Trump2 administrations. Btw, as a reminder, this started when it was merely posted that Trump exclaimed we must have open borders, and there isn't even a federal Dem politician who has said such a thing. There's no need to wheel around it, Trump says a bunch of stuff that he is ill-informed on and generally all he wants to do is get the person he is dealing with to do what he wants and he will say anything and everything to do that.

It's a release to remove number, it represents total removals, which means removed from the country.

Yes, that was the point of the first link. The 2nd link compared Biden vs Trump1.

When the woke word police strike we all lose.

I do believe this is about Trump saying “we need open borders.” And there isn’t a prominent Democrat on record who has ever said that, even incidentally.

Ha, yes. Agreed.

Link (6/27/24) I realize you weren't serious about discussing it - which is fine, I like to look stuff up - but if you have a similar link I'd be glad to look at it. You did ask though.

Amigo, I just posted ICE data. Feel free to explain whatever basis you're using. I'm guessing it's video of Cowboy Jane Noem and Colonel Tom Holman clearing out the warrens where these pernicious dishwashers and lettuce pickers live.

Right, they detain then release. That's total removals per month, per ICE. Feel free to put some effort into a response but I really don't expect or demand it.

Sure, HTH.

Serious question - do you know what a breach is? Dealership sells you a car, it delivers the car to your home. You receive the paperwork, yep there's the contract, owner's manual, yep, yep, all's in order. And then you take a look and there's no steering wheel and no wheels. Hey contract is still in existence, right? All good?

It's dead in the water, along with scores of other free trade agreements and treaties that we have built up over 80+ years. There are no unilateral unhinged tariffs in a free trade agreement. It's breached.

Ha, oh ok. It's almost as though Trump doesn't even know what open borders means. He thinks, oh we want lots of trade so we're gonna need open borders folks. The guy is like a Magic 8-ball, anything can happen.

This reminds me of the time Trump said federal agents just need to go into people's homes and take guns away. The guy is completely unmoored from any principles.

Thank you, agreed.

Taiwan had a 1.7% tariff on the US, that's negligible. The US & Vietnam had a free trade agreement. Israel had previously - note, previously - dropped its tariff amount to 0.00%.

So as a reward for this Trump slapped a 32% tariff on them. Meanwhile, our enemy, China, received a 34% tariff. Taiwan currently has a 1.7% tariff on US goods, so no doubt they think it's no big deal to go to zero. Now how Trump figured a 32% tariff in response to a 1.7% tariff, with a US ally no less, was a good idea, who knows. Of course they will need to wait for El Jefe del Junta to have time to review the terms, should take no time at all.

Trump's only trade agreement, which Trump just shattered.

Netanyahu having to face the Israeli Knesset and public after being sanctioned with a 17% tariff after constantly genuflecting and scraping to Trump and backstabbing Biden is hilarious. His solution? Why, just buy $7 billion worth of US stuff. That's an additional 50% of what Israel already spends on US imports. There, that's Israel's reward.

I understood the point. The point is US manufacturing is being brought back.
