I do not deny that. But they would do a better job? That stretches incredulity. mspart

Another case of Trump caving in the tariff war. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jul/28/eu-us-trade-deal-tariffs-european-union-five-key-takeaways 1. The deal in a nutshell The centrepiece is a 15% baseline tariff on EU exports to the US, with the exception of steel which is still being taxed at 50%. Car imports, which are being taxed at 27.5% can be sold – from Friday – at a 15% rate. The EU has also committed to buying $750bn (£560bn) in energy from the US over three years and has sweetened the look of the deal by aggregating all the known investment commitments and claiming they are going to invest $600bn (£450bn) into the US. This allowed Trump to declare the deal bigger than Japan’s which promised $550bn of investments. In all, the tariffs will apply to 70% of EU exports worth €380bn a year. In the other direction, US exports to the EU including cars, currently at 10%, will be duty free. 2. And the winner is? Donald Trump. Many financial institutions have remarked on what they believe is an “asymmetrical deal” that imposes tariffs of 15% on most EU exports including cars; involves the EU buying $750bn worth of energy and ends a decades old World Trade Organization agreement that pharmaceuticals are traded at zero percent tariff. mspart

Have you seen those video of people off the street that don't know where the capital of the US is? People who don't know who the first president was? When the civil war was fought and who fought it? Yep some random guy would be better. mspart

It just doesn't get funnier!!! mspart

Are you saying prices in 2025 rose a little bit after they rose by a huge amount the preceding 4 years? Great chart to show the truth of the situation. Notice how the charts pretty much stabilize toward the end. Indictment of Trump for sure. If he is to blame for stabilizing prices, who is to blame for having them rise so much? mspart

If its true? Ha ha. That would be a problem with both Joe and Hunter. More so Joe because he was supposed to know better. I'm calling hyperbole on your Trump statement. I'm not saying he's not corrupt, but to be 1000x more corrupt than Biden is saying Biden was not corrupt. He didn't even know who was using the autopen. https://nypost.com/2025/01/18/us-news/president-biden-insisted-he-didnt-sign-executive-order-just-weeks-after-doing-so-speaker-mike-johnson/ Biden insisted he didn’t sign executive order just weeks after doing so, Speaker Johnson reveals mspart

Something that Ds seem unable to understand is that we the people pay all the taxes. Put a tax on a business, the people that by that product pay that tax. It is not just that the people pay for tariffs, it is that they pay for all taxes. So when a D says he wants some business to pay their fair share, that is a tax increase on those that by that product. Period. mspart

Bush affected Obama's first election. I don't see how Bush or Clinton affected Hillarys election loss. That was all on her. mspart

Meme coins. Are they physical or only reside in the digital realm. Either way, agree with RV, I don't understand why people would purchase these things. mspart

Aren't they NOT supposed to tell you? That is how you know you shouldn't trust them. mspart

Now you know how much I kept up with him. Sorry to see him go, he was definitely a unique character in general entertainment. mspart

They delve into that in the article. Keep reading. Although I don't doubt that is the case with podcasts and digital music. mspart

That's a stretch. It didn't hurt Obama. Hillary was a horrible candidate by all accounts. She was rejected, it had nothing to do with her hubby. mspart

How does this make Trump a liar? They do not sell cane sugar in the US. They are adding to to the US market, I don't know in what "to be named" product. But he announced and it and a week later Coke confirmed it. That makes Trump a liar how? The axiom was that whenever he opens his mouth he is a liar. This proves the axiom wrong. It really was nothing more than that. mspart

https://thehill.com/opinion/education/5415019-northwestern-study-reveals-a-culture-abandoning-npr/ The younger generation now no longer listens to NPR where they used to much more. Interesting reasoning. mspart

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT MY BROTHAH!! mspart

Trump said Coca Cola was going to make coke with sugar. One week later, Coke made the announcement themselves. An example that negates your axiom. Therefore your axiom is incorrect. mspart

Nothing to see here. mspart

So you are of the opinion, against all evidence, that the Russian collusion hoax is not a hoax, it actually happened? If you believe it was a hoax, who was the promulgator of the hoax. If not a hoax, please provide your evidence. Generally the media is fond of saying, Trump says x with no evidence. But there is apparently plenty of evidence showing that intel said there was no russian collusion and that the "official" narrative happened over the objections of the intel folks but was the working story. So it cannot be said that Trump or Gabbard say this without any evidence. But there is one out fit saying it the no evidence mantra. https://www.dw.com/en/trump-accuses-obama-of-treason-without-providing-evidence/a-73377474 Trump accuses Obama of 'treason,' without providing evidence I will grant that treason might not be the deal here, I have not thought that through. But that Obama is complicit is demonstrated. I don't know if that rises to the level of treason or not. I'll allow the legals minds to figure that out. Matt Taibbi has looked into this and is not on Obama's side and he is not friend to Trump. https://www.foxnews.com/media/obama-now-squarely-russiagate-crosshairs-journalist-matt-taibbi-claims Obama now 'squarely in Russiagate crosshairs,' journalist Matt Taibbi claims "The last major revelation that came out was that John Brennan and James Comey were the focus of criminal investigations that had been opened by the Justice Department, but these new documents that were released by Tulsi Gabbard… make it clear that the investigation is now aimed at the Obama White House and, in particular, at Barack Obama, because of decisions that were made in early December 2016 to suppress the presidential daily briefing and go ahead and order a new intelligence community assessment that ultimately would have much more aggressive conclusions about Trump and Russia," he [Taibbi] told co-host Bill Hemmer. Perhaps the truth of Russiagate and all the investigations against Trump are coming to light. mspart

I suppose that might work out. I was more into wrestling and hard rock. Girls were a distraction and a money pit. I wasn't going to spend money on that. But I do understand the allure. I have been married for nigh unto 37 years with 6 kids. So it worked out well for me. Interestingly, I am still into wrestling and hard rock. mspart

I just remember being thankful I never had to do that in my PE classes. For some reason, I missed square dancing and my life is much better for it. Square Dancing is just the US country life equivalent to the group dancing that was the rage in Europe and early America. I really don't like dancing. I'd much rather watch and listen to the band and that should tell you how old I am. mspart
