US Tariffs, Sigh!

[Geneva Olson]

- i know my opinion doesn't mean much on USA politics in here, but they investigated and found classified emails on her private server, didn't they? Yes... They should throw the book at her. If people continue to get away with handling classified information half assed, it's going to keep happening.

again, your obtuseness is deafening. NOTHING HAPPENED TO HER. THAT WAS MY POINT. everyone can agree that she did something wrong, yet nothing happened. it's easy to say, "oh yea. she did something wrong, she should go to jail". but the fact that nothing has ever happened to her, should be a clue to everyone that we have a deeply enbedded corruption problem in our government.

But...my argument is not "whataboutism"

whataboutism​

: the act or practice of responding to an accusation of wrongdoing by claiming that an offense committed by another is similar or worse

so how did you feel about that afghanistan withdrawal? 13 marines died?

Well lets talk about those emails with hillary..what became of that? NOTHING. nothing happened with benghazi. nothing happened with the afghanistan pullout.

how did you feel about that biden pull out again? and yes, I'm comparing them...

HILLARY COMMITTED TREASON AND IS STILL WALKING AROUND THE PLANET. Hillary paid a FINE for the STEELE DOSSIER to the FEC.
JOE BIDEN COMMITTED TREASON AND IS STILL WALKING AROUND THE PLANET. JOE had classified documents sitting next to his corvette FROM WHEN HE WAS A SENATOR.

I completely disagree with your argument. your scenario doesn't apply to this story.

Are you willing to acknowledge benghazi, abbygate and the steele dossier were never properly dealt with?
and i am sick and tired of the "whataboutism" bs. the MOMENT trump's cabinet made ANY SORT of ERROR, people were ready to pounce on it.

you also probably dont want to talk about the millions of dollars in damage that was done to cities during the summer of 2020. you want to scream about the capitol building. Which was cleaned up and everyone moved back in the next day. Tell me, how long did it take to clean up the summer of love? More whataboutism that won't get answered.

So, Biden, Obama, the Clintons and the Bushes can do WHATEVER they want but if someone wants to apply the same rules used on trump to THEM, then it's a straw man argument?

And lets not forget: Benghazi was a mission - it failed
Abbygate was a mission - it failed
Houthi attack was a mission - it was a success.

--as far as hillary is concerned: she was complicit in benghazi. (i placed emphasis on the russian dossier to further prove that her treasonous actions that should be punishable by death, were not even acknowledged as a crime and swept under a rug). but it's easier for xxxtreme and others to scream "whataboutism" and intentionally NOT make a connection.

(my dots aren't that hard to connect).

Other than "it was no big deal" your entire argument about the Signal leak has been "but what about..."

Unlike the elections and/or your foolish arguments..... you mean nothing along with your pointless nonsense. I'm not here to gain points or in a popularity contest, but you're going on like you think what you say has some bearing on something. What makes you think by just saying things, it's automatically true ?? Actually, I don't think you think..... you just regurgitate what you read while drinking at night. Why don't you just get back to doing whatever it is for a living and curb your claptrap for another day when you're not drinking so much ??

To the quick I say...

So why has nothing happened? She wasn't pardoned, so if she did something illegal that they can prove, can't trump assemble a special team and Investigate her?

If losing the election is nothing... Too bad nothing didn't happen to trump last election!

Tomorrow is round three, four or seven of tariffs and counter tariffs, tit for that, etc., yet not a word. And I'm sure most would agree that this original topic for this thread died almost as soon as it was posted.

Time to put this and all of the troll-like ego bashing in the trash.

Regarding the posting of images that are more akin to pornography, read the room, not cool.

I just voted all Conservative in Wisconsin. The poll lady said it's been VERY busy all day. It's 2:00pm here.

In my town we have 2 school board positions open and a 24 million referendum so I'm guessing that's why the larger turn out.

I forgot to ask how this was feeling around you. Evidently some dems tried to squash a rally where musk was giving out million dollar checks, by taking it up with the wisconsin supreme court, during an election for the supreme court. Wild days!

Wish I was there. I'd be up for a million dollar check.

Because we have a corrupt government..

Well bad news for Wisconsin, Schimel lost. But, the voter ID got passed AND the local grocery bagger guy was elected, and the school referendum denied.

FTFY. I mean, if the majority of the voters went one way or the other, then surely it's what they wanted?

Yes, that's correct. Neither of my kids voted so if they complain about the results then I tell them to shut up - don't vote, don't complain!

We may not see increase in prices. We may see decreases.

Trump’s plan has always been to just get everyone to drop their tariffs against us, to get to a true free trade situation with no subsidy of others by America.

Vietnam, India, Israel have all dropped their tariffs against us and now possible Canada. More will do that once actual tariffs go into effect but not before, which is why we must actually implement them for real (not just the threat of).

Things are working out just as Trump planned, while the media around the world tries to scare everyone.

Good on ya, holding them kids accountable! It's exactly what I tell my wife, as I drag her to the polls every year.

Did you see a 700% tariff on Rice from Japan? That's INSANE!

Seems like 99% of products you guys import now has a tarrif.... So I imagine you're going to see pricing increase on almost everything by quite a bit.

Have to protect that American rice!

All kidding aside, I know most Asians hate uncle Ben's minute rice, but I grew up on it and loved it
