Trump today: "We need open borders." Lol, man, actual president.

Honestly, no need to be scared. It's just {bad} business.

Pretty sure the person trading 6 trillion for 7 billion is the small thinker.

I'm sure the Knesset will be amused by this question.

I looked at the video and yep Netanyahu said that. So aside from the fact this seems completely nonsensicle - how are Israel's 13 million citizens, with a per capita GDP of $30K lower than the US's, going to buy $7 billion worth of goods more than the US buys from it and how is Netanyahu going to make them do that? ... We're still talking about a maneuver that unilaterally has wiped $6 trillion from the US markets for $7 billion.

You have to go. If you didn’t you’d be outed as a capitalist roader & counterrevolutionary.

That’s a good point. I’ve been told here a few times recently that it is my patriotic duty & the people’s to suffer & undergo hardships for the fatherland. That is marxist at least in tone. In another thread plans for a Soviet / CCCP / DPRK style military parade for the party leader’s birthday are being celebrated. It’s not coming from the Dems though.

LOL, always an insult or some vulgarity, it's a trip. Ok, I looked, here's NASDAQ as of Friday.

I'm actually fine with this viewpoint. I'm well familiar with it. I just wish they'd change the name of the party and stop using the word "conservative".

IIRC US market losses are at $6 trillion.

If we're lucky we get out of this with a 2008 style recession with a Dem administration next. I'll tell you why this matters. It means global buyers are anticipating an economic downturn.

At 11/6/25 Stock Market 43,492 - someone help me on this, I'm too scared to look. Annual Inflation 2.2% - The 1 year expected inflation rate has jumped to 4.3% Unemployment 4.1% - Unemployment rate graph. Oil futures.

Do you mind telling me what the figures for the (1) Dow Jones index, (2) unemployment rate, (3) interest rate, and (4) the price of oil were say 11/7/25?

Trade your WR1 to me for Hunter Renfrow! [pause] Ok that does it, trade me Jefferson, Metcalf and Chase for Trey McBride, or that's it, I'm raising the price!

The creation of the modern Chinese economy is a US idea, we did it, we fought for it, we worked on it, and over decades Republican and Democratic administrations we opened up the Chinese market of 1 billion workers and consumers to our goods. Here's the fun part: after all our work and effort and blood and treasure, China will remain open to other competitor markets, while we will be putting up trade barriers around us. It's like building a classic Camaro from scratch and then watching your enemy drive around with it with your girlfriend in the front seat. Fun, right?

How Much Would An iPhone Cost If Apple Were Forced To Make It In America? How much would an iPhone cost if Apple were forced to make it in America? In the $30,000 to $100,000 range… and no this is not a typo.

LOL apparently the market eased up this morning after National Economic Advisor Kevin Hassett went on Fox this morning to float that Trump is considering a 90 day pause in the tariffs. My word, these people.

President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

It's the southerner in me, it's how I was raised. If his eggshell feelings were hurt I certainly wouldn't want that.

Yes, literally.

I still think that would have been the right course. And yes I may have said something about a Bubba (I recall because you constantly bring it up). I certainly apologize about the prison rape joke, but I do think he should be in jail right now. Apologies in advance for the frankness. The Bubba joke could have been outside the rules but I don't think I got dinged for it, probably because the humor was clear. Now whether that should have been deletable or bannable I don't know, but I certainly got suspended for much less.

Trump will be having a 4 mile military parade to celebrate his birthday.

I'll be willing to shake it was a long road and ok maybe it did start with Obama. I remember how SNL would run skits about him and they were occasionally funny but it was weird how they weren't really lampooning him or mocking him, which had been a staple of SNL with presidents since Day 1. - And of course Obama personally mocked Trump at a traditionally non-political event.

I like the part how China was a hermit kingdom, then the US spent 50 years dragging it into the global economy, and now we are warning we will become a hermit kingdom.

I did say AG Bondi. Sorry I suggested the current administration do something about people attacking Tesla dealerships and cars. That was wrong of me.
