Oh my god, I keep using this analogy!
There’s no such thing as a “trade imbalance”. If you buy sobering, you pay money (a human invented fiat) and get something in return - a thing or service or promise or whatever. It’s a fair trade because both buyer and seller agreed.
Explain capitalism again?

WHAT IS IT WITH THE SODOM & GOMORRAH GOP?
Rep. Rich McCormick (R-Ga.) filed for divorce earlier this month and is rumored to be romantically involved with House colleague Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-Texas). nypost.com/2024/05/16/u...

US Politics are a combination of:
1. Corrupted media (started with Fox)
2. Money pouring into politics
3. Ignorance
4. Tribalism
Unfortunately we in the USA have a long ride to a bottom we cannot see before we have a chance to right ourselves.
I’m sorry.

I kept reading that the Democratic Party had the big electoral issue. Perhaps Trump is ensuring it’s actually the GOP. How do they ultimately deny owning all of this?

We see it. Really. There are just too many idiots. We’re trying. Help us. Don’t visit the USA. Don’t buy American products. Shun our country. We need what Germany got. Shame and defeat. Then we can get better.

Actually, the primary manufacturing process produces perfect normal products. However, the add-on and upsell options actually reduce the product features and ultimately convert the final delivered product into an unseemly bunch of fucking idiots.

Legally, this shouldn’t have any impact. A federal District Court is superior to an immigration judge. And considering this case went all the way to the Supreme Court and they were very clear about the right to a habeas petition, I think this decision from the immigration judge is meaningless.

Disagree! He’s not a propagandist, he a contortionist. He’s able to bend in some many ways that eventually he’s able to get his head so far up his own ass that it comes up out of his throat again. That way, he’s able to disguise that he’s always talking out of his own ass.

Awww. Poor Bessent. Still thinks he is lying on behalf of the President, and not ever realizing the President is an idiot and anyone who knowingly follows an idiot is a fucking idiot.

Republicans from districts that benefitted “bigly” from the Inflation Reduction Act shitting on Biden’s agenda and the spending they voted against. Then campaigned about how it helped their district.
Democrats need to grow a spine that allows them to shed any shame in the name of good.

The word “potential” is doing a whole lotta misrepresentation in that statement.
Maybe Texas had a good idea. Make it possible for citizens to sue people - especially in the government - who violate certain laws so we don’t have to rely on a non-corrupt DOJ that has been co-opted.

Ron Vara has provided a full list of all the countries that desperately want to negotiate and appease Trump. People claiming otherwise just don’t know how much of an insider Ron Vara is.

Let’s ensure that the statute of limitations on crimes committed over the last couple of weeks don’t expire before they are indicted.
It’s clear now. Find the short positions and other financially advantaged positions when you crash the market. They will have literally been in the Oval Office.

I have an idea to extend drone for UKR. How do I send them that idea? Really, tell me how.

Idiocracy like that is unbelievable.
It checks out, though.

But … if I let a racist white South African illegal immigrant come into my neighbor’s house that I am housesitting and he installs satellite Internet with a 72 month service contract and the racist South African immigrant owns the Internet service then I guess I am … a … genius?

Can I just point out one more thing. There’s no such thing as a “trade imbalance”. Trade is always perfectly balanced. If I buy something from you, and you give me that thing because I pay you that money, there’s no imbalance. It’s perfect trade.

11. Realize that you’re an idiot and have no idea how global trade economics work.
Just kidding! #11 doesn’t really happen. The real joke is that people really elected an idiot and now are letting Chauncey fucking destroy the global trade economy.

10. Have one of your sycophantic advisors figure out how not to offend you while pointing out that you are about to crash the bond market and most definitely send your country’s economy into a recession.

7. Realize that the negotiated requests are mostly about what you already had in place.
8. Pretend that the reciprocal responses should be further reciprocated against.
9. Reciprocate, without bothering to incorporate an understanding of who owns a lot of the bonds for your company’s debt.

5.Declare random mathematically calculated and mentally insane tariffs against all UN defined nation states.
6. Wait for a mix of negotiated requests and reciprocal responses.

1. Declare tariffs for a random and unknowable reason.
2. Wait for other countries to WTF you.
3. Declare JK and “pause” the tariffs.
4. Wait.

Y ah, but everyone knew he was gonna do everything he has done and will do. There are zero surprises, so that means voters chose it.

Please, Canadians, do not come to the USA. Don’t give us anything. Shun us. We can’t break the fever if it’s constantly propped up. Americans don’t learn unless they suffer first.

No, voters and non voters fucked us all. We need to accept that. Move past denial and anger.

I love it. There’s a hint of the very first David Letterman show (mornings). It’s not mainstream at all.

I’m not worried about a mythical place called hell because I live in the real world. Those of us that do understand that sometimes you have to choose which shit sandwich to eat.

No one is defending the indefensible things Israel has done and continues to do.
There was a choice between Trump and Harris. It gets tiresome hearing people bitch about Harris’ bad position when Trump is way fucking worse.
Even worse is when they don’t own that they helped get Trump elected.

Please remind us who the President is now and what he’s been up to.
I wonder if some people have just never had to make a complex decision in their lives.

What’s the problem? Didn’t you “win” by either voting for Trump, a third part candidate, or not at all? Didn’t it all stop then?
Choices can be hard.

They missed the phrase “ because he’s a total fucking moron” in their summary.

I’m gonna ask for a case citation on that because it didn’t happen. There’s no fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value or profit. The duty is to the company’s and shareholders’ “best interests”. That’s not the same.
