It's actually an interesting discussion, IMO. One can make a solid argument that the people racking up debt on these high-interest cards would benefit from the tough love of removing them altogether. That of course would have another unintended consequence of lowering our GDP, because who is going to buy those $300 sneakers? My point was that the belief that you can come in and tell the financial industry to just NOT charge high interest rates, and believe that it won't have massive unintended consequences, is Leftist-level lack of reality.

You were wrong about me pushing the tariffs as a good thing, which was the point of this discussion, dummy.

The article says "Such a cap would likely require authorization by Congress. It is unclear what moves the president could make to bypass this." So... no, but Financial stocks took a dive today.

Now do local officials not assisting and often directly impeding DHS officials in their attempt to enforce US immigration law.

There is no way English is this guy's first language.

You're about a year old? Apparently you aren't old enough to actually remember what I've repeatedly said: There are more. Presuming you are too lazy to read the ones above, I've been consistent in my hope, but not insistence, that the tariffs were some combination of punitive (China) and/or Art of the Deal, but that I disagreed with him if he unilaterally applied them. Thanks for helping to show that I can objectively disagree with Trump. In fact I'm about to start a thread where I'll disagree with Trump's plan to cap CC interest. Meanwhile, you have never acknowledged a single good thing that Trump has done, but you think you are Mr. Objectivity like most pseud Lefties, and while telling me how I follow whatever Daddy says.

Well Rusty, if Russia and China would not just sit around while we over Greenland, then a smart person might ask themselves why that is. It's comical how these discussions go. Whenever I provide an alternative hypothesis to whatever comes out of your Trump-sucks-omatic werd generator, and/or in this case show that your post is a shotgun blast of pablum (nation building, still waiting to hear on that one ), you guys respond with some version of me listening to Daddy Trump, with zero self-awareness that you completely follow your TDS religious tenets.

Cool! Also, 1.1 Brooks Koepka$#@!

Mephistojuice, Mephisojuice, Mephistojuice!

Oops, sorry. I'll delete my post if you want, let me know.

Yeah that's it, your repeated questions make me uncomfortable... and then you admit that he said to march peacefully. Thanks for the win. You could have spared yourself all the followup to attempt to spin it into an alternative reality that fits your TDS model better. What in that quote told you that Trump knew about 18 pairs of brass knuckles?

I've answered enough of your questions for a while. Why don't you stop playing TimHauck and tell us if Trump told people to march peacefully.

Looking forward to starting the season! Also, I've got my tix to the WM Phoenix Open, going with my son on Thursday.

We've already discussed what it is about radical Islamic culture which I fear and which you are too dumb to acknowledge. But it's easier for your little brain to call me RACISSSS$#@! Also I said I don't want to leave NATO. Otherwise, good post, good effort.

Well let's see. Given what I said to Fnord above: This act would be America First and preparing for isolationism. Personally, I don't believe in isolationism as a proactive strategy, but in this case it is a contingency plan. And I already said I don't think we will invade Greenland, and would oppose if we did. Nation building? Are you just shotgun blasting now? And it's not about natural resources, but you share Gutter's TDS lens, so I'm not going to convince you otherwise.

He believes in peace through strength. You call that TACO because you view everything he does through a lens of him being evil incarnate. So I don't see much more to discuss. I don't see a model where we invade, but sure, it's possible. Enjoy your win.

What is absurd? Then again, we can't all get our objective news from National Public Leftist Radio or CNN, which reached one Somali Daycare on the phone and they told CNN they are legit! Anyway, parts of Europe are being destroyed. Or "changed," if you think that is too strong of a word. The UK is certainly changing. This recently regarding Keir Starmer: Wow, a top priority. Alaa Abd El-Fattah must be a great man, a wronged man. Let’s quickly look through Alaa’s X posts: “can we please adopt armed struggle and kill all foreign journalists,” he wrote. And also: “I seriously, seriously, seriously hate white people, especially those of English or Dutch or German descent.” Hmm: “we must kill all police officers without any discrimination.” Huh: “Unfortunately, the Iranian nuclear project isn’t dedicated to the extermination of the white man; bin Laden’s odds are higher.” Wait: “from time to time I remind ppl that I rejoice when US soldiers are killed, and support killing zionists even civilians.” It goes on: “I generally support murdering rulers.” And an innocent question: “proof we need more suicide bombings?” with a link to some story. In sort of apologizing for the posts, Alaa Abd El-Fattah described them as “the writings of a much younger person,” which I guess is technically true, and simple “expressions of a young man’s anger.” See, he was a child when he wrote those, a young boy of 30. The Guardian describes the posts as coming “when the British-Egyptian democracy activist was turning 30.” I love that. People don’t describe ages as “turning” unless it’s that someone is turning 7. Here’s how the BBC describes the outrage: Thank you for your candor, BBC! You can continue to reject the evidence before you; I'm confident you will. Regarding NATO -- I'd like to see it succeed, but until Trump they had become a bunch of second handers, waiting for the US to spend its money on their defense, while looking down their noses at us like they were still some 19th century naval power. I hope they figure it out and wake up.

He's putting it out there that he might use military force. He's shown, recently in fact, that he's not afraid to do so, so it is a credible threat. I expect that he hopes that this will initiate talks which otherwise might not have happened. Funny you call that TACO, but then again, you are at TDS DEFCON 1. You are already preparing to call him a chicken if he doesn't invade.

It means he's letting Denmark and the world know that he really wants Greenland.

No, that happened, and those people should be punished. I was talking about Trump inciting a riot. HTH

How do you know other presidents didn't see the strategic value? The difference now, perhaps, is in part of my OP: "Since we are essentially NATO while the UK and others continue their path to voluntary Islamicized destruction, we need much more control there." I have heard speculation that Trump is strengthening our control in the NA region, because Europe is on a path to destruction via radical Islamic control. You can argue that they'll probably wake up before they reach their goal, but they are certainly moving down that path. So he's preparing us to hunker down if we need to. That explains our recent actions in Venezuela, and soon (I predict) Cuba will fall, with or without our military help.

Kinda both. Pick one and tell me how Trump wants to invade Greenland.

"Invasion" seems Rusty-level stupid; I'm guessing it's him. Greenland is a very strategic piece of real estate in the battle for Arctic military and shipping control. Since we are essentially NATO while the UK and others continue their path to voluntary Islamicized destruction, we need much more control there. Whether or not it means controlling the entire island (is it considered an island?), I don't know.

I gave up after a few minutes. Is the purpose of this channel for a son and daughter to spend an hour embarrassing their parents for being MAGAtards? This guy, who still believes the edited video the MSDNC made for him about 1/6, is quoting Orwell about rejecting evidence.

This post is dense with idiocy. It's like a flourless cake of stupid. I could see Gutter drawing this conclusion.
