Yeah...that IS a 200% increase on Temu with all those fake deals...that's what I was assuming you were getting at...in on manner or another.

Is China losing ALL of their trade? And he said, "can't survive." I think it's accurate to point out...they very much can and have.

By the way...can I ask...how was it not "real?" He said it those words on the National Stage. But it is good to know you don't believe what you posted and you think it's "not real" or "credible."

Oh boy... @Caveiracalls it "conspiracy theory" and then when I post for the 2nd time a Republican Senator calling for...a CIVIL WAR, he tries to equivocate. ANYONE calling for the assassination of a Political Leader should be condemned. Why is it SOOO hard for you to do that? I celebrated Cori Bush losing her election(and yes, it happened on HERE...which is apparently the only place any of this counts). Though...I'm confused why you posted a video in which THREE times Obama says something that has NOTHING to do with violence? The last quote, the real ominous one? He was at a fund raiser you twit. This is the problem with "whataboutism." You justify everything instead of just saying, "that's too f-ng far," and condemn it. But I see very clearly from this thread, the extremism that I thought was only on the corners of the internet is very much real. You can't even just CONCEDE that talking about a Civil War if your side doesn't win...is a BAD thing.

I mean, I'd say we "started" this one, but I don't understand all the "Go China" crap. Then again, I just posted on another thread about how I didn't think most people who were center or to the right were of the belief the election was rigged and J6 was not a big deal and...then I was proven wrong. So...I guess it's all or nothing. You're on the left, it's celebrating the further decay of the Middle Class(this hurts the middle class far more than the wealthy). And then the elections are rigged unless your guy wins them... Jesus Christ is this depression. There's nothing pro-America about almost any of these posts. And YES, China is a bully. They're a huge bully. They didn't start THIS, but...whatever. I don't even care about the US being bullies to China. I just care about them doing it EFFECTIVELY. That isn't putting tariffs on every other Country so it's China AND THE WORLD against us.

LOL...you're a joke. I posted an ELECTED REPUBLICAN stated; But...ALL you asked was to show me where people were talking about it. Where did I get this from. A Republican Senator says...we're going to need a Civil War if WE don't get OUR way, and that's a "conspiracy?" Jesus Christ...just tell me you don't know what conspiracy means.

First of all, why are you so obsessed with what I PERSONALL posted? https://truthout.org/articles/republican-at-vance-rally-says-civil-war-may-be-needed-if-trump-loses-election/ Or does this again not fit what becomes an ever more narrow definition because I have to have held your hand and pointed this out to you on a forum I didn't post about a whole lot politically before the election? 54% or Republicans believe a....CIVIL WAR is coming. https://www.chathamhouse.org/2024/02/could-united-states-be-headed-national-divorce Now, I ALREADY posted these, so not reason to expect this to work. You and Jimmy seem to have that in common.

But...in a few years when we talk about this era, hopefully a distant thought and as close to authoritarianism as we get(anyone remember when people threw a tantrum when Obama signed ONE executive order rather than just...bypass all Congress by making EVERYTHING an executive order)? Anyway...keep pretending you're seeing the LEFT threatening violence. Now...I'll admit, this was the lamest and most pathetic attempt to "intimidate" by comparing yourself to a dog and...that game, but please, you still haven't seen anyone talking about it other than me and Red Viking?

Ok...I get it. You are just another clown. That SAYS it's Red Viking quoting Red Viking? Or is that jross?

No, it says Red Vikings talking about the Rhetoric he heard and then Jross talking about how it's not just rhetoric. Then JRoss...thinking HE'S the big tough guy. And yes, You're right. I said if people of his ilk are insane enough to want to start a civil war, I'll stay in my home with my guns and let the people who think this is cute or a fun little topic fight it out. I really can't tell if you're serious and pretending to not see what other people are saying because they're not SPECIFICALLY saying Civil War(oh, get your clicker out!)... And what did you make of the comment about the Mastiff and the Jack Russell? What do you think was trying to be inferred there?

Really Jimmy? So before Nixon opened China up to trade with the US, they must have had a VERY small Economy, right? No? They've had the 2nd largest for most of the last 500-600 years? Before the US was a Nation? Yeah, they'll never "survive" without our trade.

Hey...stoopid. How about the person who STARTED this thread who plainly said it WASN'T "just rhetoric" and very clearly talks about it here? Jesus...you just see whatever you'd like, don't you?

I'd imagine the people talking about... Are you illiterate or do you just skip over the posts of the people who you already agree with?

Yeah...this is a CRAZY thing to say;

Well...I said I'd hope people wouldn't feel like that and then the author of the thread goes on to glorify the idea of a civil war where the "calm, clear-eyed stoics" eventually "move to violence." He sounds like the people who go and commit a mass shooting. This and this thread is one of the most depressing things I've seen in a while. You started about how YOU and people of your political ilk had the moral high ground...and how quickly you came to this?

Oh...April 4 2017 Ok. Well....I've never registered with any party. You? You don't even think it's...incredible how insane it is that we're even talking about this? How Jross is talking about the steely stoic man who will step... writing like a rip off Hunter S Thompson or a Tarantino Character. Anyone really think that's how it'll go do? Like a movie, right? Where only those bad guys lose while the side your on wins?? There's no "winning" a Civil War and even talking about one is...unbelievable.

Go back and read my first post to this post big guy. And now who is fantasizing about a civil war?

No. You're just talking about it. Those "steely eye stoic..." They'll be quick and efficient. I guess in an attempt to make a Civil War sound fnk poetic? How many people here have seen violence? Not War, just violence where you see grey matter and a couple bodies You morons talk tough, but if you ACTUALLY want to romanticize the idea of taking this to the streets...GREAT. Here's what will happen; Mentally well people...we'll stay inside. We won't go looking to kill our neighbors because...what psycho does that(apparently you've had some fantasies about it as have many others, but...it seems foreign to me). The people like you, you'll start to see your friends dying in front of you. The Military SHOULD come in and clean thing up. And that would HOPEFULLY be the end of it.

The were organized that the GOP sent a SEPERATE SET OF ELECTORS from every State. Unconstitutional, but that hasn't stopped anything Is that all it takes? 'Wasn't that big of a deal, they tried, but they failed.' They were ONE Man away from changing the results of the elections. Would you kindly shut up about the protest for a moment and just read the link I gave you that shows the even more serious threat. Trump...in his shameless corruption trying to get himself certified? It came down to which set of electors Pence accepted. The constitutional ones or the unconstitutional ones. You positive JD Vance will do the same this time? Especially if it's HIS election? I mean, after all, there were ONLY two possible outcomes. Trump Wins- Rigged- He told his people that for over a year. One or the other.

This is amusing. Am I the 10 pound Jack Russel also? You the big "Mastiff?" I guess it's good I usually have at least my .45 on me then huh. If you're a big scary guy...

You live in a fantasy where the Civil War plays out in this Country...which only makes the first post in this thread, that much more ironic. You think the Military is with you? You think they're going to turn their guns on American Citizens? And then I always wonder...do you people really think you're the only one with guns? I suppose if you live in a right wing bubble, you may believe that.

It was as close as they've ever got. It was a Mike Pence sentence away...and that's from the guy who says he's going to run again this year. Jan 6th should disgust you as people defend people attacking our capital. How close Trump got to blocking Biden's certification of Joe Biden? Are people honestly of the impression that the people breaking into the capital was the only viable route to winning the election. Just how hard did they try? Pretty hard. https://www.factcheck.org/2023/08/what-trump-asked-of-pence/

You've given me every answer with this unhinged post. "Seek answers?" Sure... The 1st point is particularly stupid. Putting the "most consequential election in US History," as they said the same thing in 2020, but...yeah, you don't have answers. Not one legitimate point in there. Counting was paused. Yeah...it was 3AM and they were told they were going home and they'd start the next day...but you had Trump people throwing a tantrum saying "COUNT THE VOTE, COUNT THE VOTE," in one place and "STOP THE VOTE, STOP THE VOTE," where it didn't behoove them. People testified and we often got to see it. An old women who forgot she voted claiming someone stole her vote. Jesus it's depressing when the more reasonable(of an unreasonable) group are...this delusional.

There's one lens to see it through. They tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power. That's it. There are "Minor attracted people," I have no interest in seeing things through their view point either. It's disappointing on something SO black and white you're going to play the 'you're just not using your critical thinking skills.' Yup. Very similar "rhetoric" by Bill Barr and ALMOST all Republican Sec of State's and what not. Here's what happened. States like Penn, Wisconsin, they don't let you count the early vote as it comes in. Florida, NC, they do. We were TOLD it'd be the red mirage for...MONTHS as Trump told his people specifically "do not vote by mail." Yet SHOCKINGLY when you started getting all the mail in ballots in liberal areas, they went 80-90% for Biden and then it was "stop the count," in one state and "Keep on counting" in the other state. Meanwhile...Trump was way behind early in Florida for example. Yet...nobody disputed that. No, this is my...red line. This is allegiance to a person and a cult vs your Country. It's a joke. They've slandered so many people based on false premises and...you have balls to tell me seeing it for what it is is lacking "critical thinking?" Sure. I don't possess critical thinking ability, but I'm not going down this road and...it' depressing to find people who do anything but condemn it. But so be it.

People fixate on the Hilux...it feels like this is one of those things going around. There are ~10 types of cars they just don't sell in the US for various reasons. Emission standards or whichever was the big SUV, the Sequoia but nicer that was meant to compete with the Escalade. I think they may have brought that back, but in the first year they offered that, they sold less than 2,000 of them...which means they lost their ass. It's not quite the same as not being able to buy any of the Toyota vehicles. The Toyota Vehicles always have an equal...or similar version in 3 different brands. The Chinese EVs are like 15K striped down EVs with good enough batteries, but there's a big difference in the quality between them and Tesla.
