Every Thing Democrats Tell You Is A Lie! How many of you sycophants beleived their bullshìt? Trump said he offered 10,000 troops for J6. This post PROVES that an offer was made and turned down. This post PROVES Pelosi turned it down. She lied over and over and over. They made a big lie out of this on the J6 committee. Everything the Democrats do, is a lie. The true Big Lie was the Russian Collusion lie combined with the J6 lie.

I find it hard to believe anyone is a dense as you. You do that shìt all the time. Like, literally every single thread. Yeah, you should read the Forbes article. Tariffs lead to a one time increase...maybe. That isn't inflation. Inflation is a function of the increase of the price to consumers over time. In 2024, imports accounted for 14% of the economy. Let's assume we placed a 25% tariff on every imported item. That would only be 3.5% of the entire economy but only if the consumer is able to make those purchases. We are not placing any where near 25% on every imported item. Nor will the prices go up on every item. So, there is very little increased cost to consumer.

Only the cherry picked data. Best deal yet doesn't mean best deal possible. If only you had enough information to see that you are on the low information side here. So close. I am providing a service. My service costs me 28% of my income. My end user is my employer. The end user always pays the cost. Maybe, but probably not. It will depend partly on the consumer's disposable income and the product/service's necessity. It will also depend on whether or not competition that doesn't bear the costs of a tariff exists or forms. You are looking at one variable in a complex equation and acting as if that variable is the only factor that must be considered. Lmao...oh that's rich. You want to tell people to stop derailing threads? Aren't you the one that takes Israel defending it's people and turns it into Trump was friends with Epstein? https://www.forbes.com/sites/billconerly/2024/11/21/the-price-inflation-paradox-how-tariffs-really-affect-the-economy/ That article will debunked this myth that tariffs cause inflation.

You went with the nonfood data rather than the whole picture. And more since. All because of bad trade deals. Ross Perot nailed it, we did hear the giant sucking sound. Better trade deals would have prevented that giant sucking sound. Of course they do. The end user always pays the taxes. Let's put it this way; without income I wouldn't have any taxes to pay. You are blatantly leaving out the most important part, the consumer's ability to pay. Increased price always....ALWAYS...equals less demand. Just because costs go up doesn't mean prices can go up. You are only focusing on one variable on one side of the equation. There are multiple variables on both sides of the equation. I was exaggerating costs and price to make a point. My example works for one penny, one dollar or one thousand dollars. Maybe, someday, you will think back on this and realize just how sophomoric your arguments have been. I work for a mutli national company that does business in 64 countries.

No, like the deportation stats, you cherry picked the numbers. You said Trump had deported less than Biden. I put up the actual numbers that show Trump on pace to blow past Biden. Now, all of a sudden, you didnt say that? FFS man. Yeah. Thats the goal! Less imports for more domestic production. Really? Let's take an extreme example, China. They could send us damn near anything they wanted, use slave labor to make it and pay little to no tariffs while we couldn't send anything to them unless we put one of their oligarchs on the board, paid massive tariffs and subjected our businesses to no trademark protections. But our trade was fair? There are literally hundreds of examples of lesser consequence. But you can see how we've lost jobs to Mexico over car manufacturing. India stole service jobs. We can bring jobs, like those, back to the US while gaining tax revenue for those that don't and tax revenue for those that do. We win all the way around. That is pay I wouldn't accept if it wasn't high enough to cover my expenses. Let's say my expenses for the year are $30,000. If I take a job for $30,000, then I won't be able to cover my expenses. So, I only accept jobs that have a "take home pay" over $30,000 per year. My employer pays my taxes because they are my end user. If no one is willing to accept my wages, I either have to reduce my costs or accept a loss. The same goes for businesses. If the tariffs prevent profit, they either raise prices (which only works if someone is willing to pay) or cut costs. Costs are not relevant to market price. Let's say you start an egg farm. You have to build a coup, by chickens, feed them, collect the eggs, clean them, package them, deliver them and then sell them. The first dozen is going to cost you some crazy number like $30,000. Who is going to pay that? No one. The market says eggs are $2.30/dz.

Yes they do. I want a salary that leaves me with an income that allows me to have a certain standard of living. That means my income must be high enough to pay my taxes and still cover my needs. So, yes, they pay my taxes. Wholly untrue. The market sets the price. if costs go up and they try to pass those costs on to the consumer in the form of higher prices, demand will go down. This isn't a theory. It is a well known, proven fact.
-
Or, in reality: "In July 2025, the consumer price index (CPI) rose by 2.7% on an annual basis, remaining steady from June." BTW, how much did you pay for eggs before the election? Inflation isn't happening. Well, don't use dishonest stats and you won't get called out for it. Or, you just flat out lied. Trump is up to 158,000 illegal immigrants either arrested or deported, with very few turnbacks. He is on pace to exceed 300,000. Biden deported and turned back 274,000 in 24. Are they? So, you are telling me that other countries don't want to sell to the largest economy in the world just because the largest economy in the world wants more fair trade? Yeah, right. Ok skippy. That isn't how that works. I explained it my reply to robosmith. The market sets the price. Cost is not relevant.

Lmao...what the hell are you talking about? Ok. The end user pays the tax. I have a salary. That salary pays for my income taxes. My employer is, effectively, paying my taxes. But my employer passes those costs on to the consumer. So the end user of our product/services pays my taxes as well as any taxes from products we purchase to provide our products and services. Now, just because my employer pays my taxes through funds they gain from the end users, doesn't mean they can increase the price. The price is set by supply and demand...aka the market. We raise our prices when demand out paces supply and lower our prices when supply out paces demand.

We always knew it. What makes you think we didn't? No. It was immigration and DEI. Inflation was a close third, maybe. But tariffs don't necessarily equate to inflation. Tariffs don't change the price to consumers. Tariffs change the cost of doing business. The only way the price to consumers changes is if supply drops. That is a massively dishonest stat there. Biden counted turnbacks as deportations. We don't have any turn backs to speak of. Oh, there are some, but no where near the number of turnbacks Biden had. Further, there have been ZERO illegal aliens released into the US. The net positive under Trump is massive. You don't get to imply that nothing has changed when there has been an earth shattering shift. More hyperbole. And such a weird argument to make. The left loves taxes on corporations. Why get mad about that? He's making them pay their fair share.

The Current Deportation Numbers

You shouldn't lie when it is so easily debunked: NBC: Feds bust ‘modern-day slavery’ ring amid new immigration enforcement effort At least 100 immigrant workers were freed from conditions in which at least two died, another was repeatedly raped, and others were kidnapped and threatened with death.

The Current Deportation Numbers

Don't you mean cucumbers? But, demand will be down. That will drop prices. -
You just posted completely invalid data and declared that it means your fantasy is real. I don't think it's a valid argument for you to then declare the other side must be wrong. Your entire thesis is based on assumptions that are accompanied by invalid data. Aka, you lied. But that isn't proven or even true. Texas does it's best to determine immigration status and this is what their stats show: Texas Scorecard: “Illegal immigrants in Texas appear to be convicted of crimes such as homicide, sexual assault, and kidnapping at higher rates than the state average,” says CIS. “By contrast, they appear to be convicted at lower rates for crimes such as robbery and drugs.” However, CIS says a caveat to the “lower rates for crimes such as robbery and drugs,” is that lesser offenses carry shorter prison sentences and are lower priority for determining immigration status and deportation.“ The longer people with unknown status are in custody, the more likely it is that Texas will correctly ascertain their immigration status,” the report states. Your stats are a lie. You are a liar. Just stop already.

The Current Deportation Numbers
gatomontes99 replied to Deluge's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Fast enough and fast as possible are two separate things. I truly believe Homan is doing everything possible to deport as many as possible. But I'd like to see it be even faster. -
https://usafacts.org/articles/which-cities-have-the-highest-murder-rates/ DC has the fourth highest murder rate in the country. It is the only city Trump can federalize. What he is doing is not a distraction, it is a much needed policy that will demonstrate just how feckless liberal policies are, on crime.

What a disingenuous argument. Surely, you know how ridiculous this is. Let's start with sky divers. They are engaging in an activity with a certain amount of risk. Absent tampering or criminal neglect, the deaths are acceptable because it is the result of personal choice and chance. Now, look at this ridiculous argument that murders are stealing murderers jobs. You know it doesn't work that way. Yes, we have home grown murders. However, the Council of Presidents that controlled Joe Biden, let in thousands of CONVICTED MURDERERS. They just let them in. On top of that were thousands of rapists. That only serves to increase the number of murderers and rapists in the US. That isn't necessary or acceptable. We will always have a certain percentage of our homegrown population that are murderers and rapists. Increasing that number is unnecessary. Especially when an administration does so by violating the law.

DHS Honors Victims of Illegal Alien Crime
gatomontes99 replied to Deluge's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
The left is effectively arguing that the victims are insignificant because they aren't that numerous.
