And violence.

He should be more harshly punished for this because he is far more aware of how pictures a d videos like that can incite violence than the average person. Further, the fact that there were two (very public) assasination attempts makes what he did even more aggregious.

Being the smartest of the bird brains is still a bird brain.

Who is easier to control? The country that hates us and views us as an enemy or the country that depends on us for economic prosperity? Trump is not stupid to put aside past mistakes to seek out future friendship. To be clear, "friends" that misbehave still need to be corrected. But it is a whole lot easier to make that happen when you have mutual respect and financial ties. I'm not ok with some of the Saudi and Qatar laws or the some of their well known atrocities. Maybe our economic ties will help us to adjust their behavior. The old way never worked, let's try this.

Best example of CNN failing is Jake Tapper. Oooh he is so mad that Laura Trump pointed out Joe Biden's obvious mental decline. But now he's so happy to report on how everyone else covered it up! He's one of the biggest Co-Conspirators in the cover-up!!! Newsweek: CNN anchor Jake Tapper is facing blowback for co-authoring a new book about efforts to allegedly cover up former President Joe Biden's mental decline. He caught so much hell for lying that he finally half admitted to the truth: Yahoo: CNN anchor Jake Tapper is now admitting he didn't provide enough coverage of former President Joe Biden's cognitive decline as his reporting during the previous administration draws scrutiny from critics. And the left on here is going to deny anything was covered up.

Yes, I'll be sure to tell you when I am wrong in the double digits.

50% is still failing. Nice self own.

You really do live in a fantasy world, don't you? Let's talk about reality: All three indexes (Dow Jones, S&P 500 and NASDAQ) are flat YTD. There is zero loss in wealth.

Best economy? Despite spending $5T we still had two consecutive quarters of retraction and lost a huge chunk of our work force while driving inflation to record highs.

Oh ffs, the ink isn't even dry on the deals. They also aren't no's.

https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/insights/grumpy-economist-weighs-inflations-causes-its-cures John Cochrane: In my analysis, inflation mostly came from the government’s $5 trillion in COVID and post-COVID deficits. The government essentially sent people $5 trillion with no plans to pay the money back. People tried to spend it, driving up prices. The Fed eventually raising interest rates made inflation come down a bit faster than it would have otherwise, but it was going to go away on its own anyway. There is no magic momentum to inflation. Stop pushing, and it stops. ‐------------------------------ Deficit = inflation Inflation = deficit

Yep. Its awful. We have $6T+ in new foreign investments, increased job growth and slowing inflation. Its just horrific here. Would we have that without tariffs? F-No.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-says-us-adding-1-160334777.html Trump says US adding $1 trillion of investment with Saudi trip "With this trip, we're adding over $1 trillion more in terms of investment into our country and buying our products," Trump told the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum in Riyadh. (Reporting by Gram Slattery; Writing by Andrea Shalal; Editing by Mark Porter) -------------------------------- I think this brings the total to $6T in investments in the US and there are 80+ countries to go.

Obviously the details aren't finalized, but there is definitely a promising start here. The big gets that need to be got are no requirements for a Chinese national to be on the board to do business in China, better/easier rules for exporting to China and I'd like to see penalties for current y manipulation.

So Trump might accept an airplane for the country and that's proof of some evil? https://oversight.house.gov/release/comer-reveals-how-joe-biden-received-laundered-china-money/ Here’s how Joe Biden benefited from his family’s shady deal with CEFC, a Chinese Communist Party linked company. It all began with a shakedown in the summer of 2017, when Hunter Biden sent a message to his CEFC associate demanding a $10 million capital payment. As Hunter Biden extorted this associate, Hunter claimed he was sitting with his father and that the Biden network would turn on his associate if he didn’t pony up the money. The extortion scheme worked. Days later, $5,000,000 flowed in from a Chinese affiliate of CEFC. Over the following three weeks, Biden family members made a series of complicated financial transactions to hide the source of the China money. Here’s how that happened: First, Northern International Capital, a Chinese company associated with CEFC, wired $5,000,000 to Hudson West III, a joint venture established by Hunter Biden and a CEFC associate. Then, Hudson West III sent $400,000 to an entity owned and controlled by Hunter Biden. Next, Hunter Biden wired $150,000 to Lion Hall Group, a company owned by Joe Biden’s brother James and sister-in-law Sara Biden. Sara Biden then withdrew $50,000 in cash from Lion Hall Group. Later the same day, she deposited it into her and James Biden’s personal checking account. A few days later, Sara Biden cut a check to Joe Biden for $40,000. The memo line of the check said, “loan repayment.” We previously exposed a $200,000 payment James made to his brother Joe that came from funds provided by a now bankrupt health care company called Americore. Like the payment to Joe from Americore funds, it’s certainly plausible that this payment where James and Sara used funds from China was indeed a loan repayment to Joe. But even if this $40,000 check was a loan repayment from James Biden, it still shows how Joe benefited from his family cashing in on his name – with money from China no less. Without his family peddling his name and his son threatening a CEFC associate with consequences that he said Joe Biden knew about, James wouldn’t have had the money to write the $40,000 check to his brother Joe. It’s also worth remembering that Biden family efforts to secure millions from this Chinese company began when Joe Biden was still Vice President.

6 people are charged in a Texas elections investigation involving ‘vote harvesting’ Two stories here: A) Dems are running around saying there is no election fraud and then dems are caught committing election fraud. Ballot harvesting is illegal in Texas because it is well known that ballot harvesters would ditch votes if they disagreed with them. This was very common in retirement homes where harvesters would bring ballots, watch the elderly sign the ballot and then toss the ballots that they didn't want cast. B ) Notice how the AP just ignores party affiliation in the title. They wouldn't do that if these were Republicans.

Wow. Your TDS is so bad that you just wished death on your wife. Classy.

Well, they did pay Joe well, so you should support them over DJT.

Trump Administration Reaches Trade Deal With China in Geneva We don't know the details. But, apparently, China has agreed to a trade deal.

Lol...hyperbole much? I don't think this was a horrible deal for them. It wasn't some take over of their economy or anything. Plus, they got a little bit from us so it's a deal. Maybe not a great deal but certainly not a bad one either.

Yall have no sense of humor. Pull the stick out, grab a beer and just relax. I thought it was worth a chuckle. I'd have put something about Dominion in there. Lol

There is no way to know that. You are making a guess at best. There are 3 paths: increase price to consumers, absorb the cost, don't export. To say you know for certain that it is the first choice is preposterous. The talking heads on TV keep saying that, but that gets ratings. It isn't factual and those people have no clue what they are talking about. Ron Burgandy wasn't some fictional character he was a CARICATURE of all news anchors. Nothing about a tariff on exports to a country restricts imports from that country. You'll get over your hissy fit in a couple weeks. You can only drink Pabst and Canadian Whisky for so long before you give in. In his opinion. But tell me why there wasn't a financial blowback when every single one of those 90+ countries put a tariff on the US? No we aren't. Nothing devastating has happened. Not a damn thing. It won't. The first quarter "shrink" was a result of importers front loading inventory to avoid tariffs. That started in July. The deliveries just got made in the first quarter. Imports count against the GDP. So does the lower than expected spending from the government. That's not a sign of an economic problem. The imports won't be as strong in Q2. The shelves are stocked and the goods are being sold. They don't need to restock, so imports will be down. Government spending will still be down too. However, investments and exports are up. CPI is down to precovid levels and oil prices are down 21%. Everything is pointing to strong growth in the private sector even though the public sector is retracting. In the coming years, you'll need to watch the individual data in the GDP to measure the strength of the economy and not the GDP itself. I've said for decades that including mandatory government spending as a measure of economic strength is moroʻnic. But, that's how the Council of Presidents, that replaced Joe Biden, kept the economy appearing strong. They made up for weak private sector growth by spending excessive amounts of cash. Are you channeling your inner Kamala? You keep making this assumption. Stop. Don't assume you know how things will go or that you even have all the data to make assumptions with. Time will tell. Just stop panicking and man up.

That is not a certainty. The price to consumers depends solely on the Supply and Demand Curve. Only if the goods have some price elasticity can the cost of the product go up. In effect, if the consumer won't bare the cost of the tariff, either the producer or importer takes a financial hit (and the government collects a tax) or the product isn't imported (which positively effects the GDP). If the cost is partially or wholly absorbed by the consumer, then the government has more revenue and we move closer to something akin to the Fair Tax. Either way, I'm good with it. What Shapiro is explaining is that the markets are reacting to not knowing what the final deals will look like. Ok....so? If tariffs didn't positively help the country that used them, then no country would use them. But every country does use them. And 90 something countries didn't ask for better deals because the tariffs would hurt the US. They asked for the deals because they want to be competitive in the US market. Another POV, tariffs increase the tax base. No longer do we rely on people and companies within our borders to pay our massive debts.

Half a loaf of bread is better than no bread. However, in this case, the deal appears to be a primer. Britain agrees to set the standard terms so that Trump's team has leverage with other deals. In this case, the UK gave up some trade barriers and agreed to purchase certain items for a lower tariff. You will see all the other countries fall in line with this. Will it be total capitulation by them and total market domination by the US? He'll no. But, that wasn't the goal. The goal was to move the ball in our direction. This does that. We can argue about whether it is enough. But we have to agree it was a positive step.
