3 hours ago3 hr 2 minutes ago, dawkins4prez said:Cool. That's not to be conflated with the cold hard fact that every red cent collected from tariffs comes from US companies and consumers. Every red cent. And Trump straight up lies about that fact every single day.If the importer passes it along and if people buy imports vs domestic. If importers want to risk losing our market share.

3 hours ago3 hr 16 minutes ago, Diehardfan said:Some. Not all.I went to buy a spitting axe from a Scandinavian company last week and they tried to add it on to the bill. I bought an American one. Oh well. There are benefits even when it happensDon't remember where I heard of it but I recall a story of someone needing a product and tariffs made it super expensive and there is no American alternativetrump created this problem but maga will blame Biden for poor deals. BTW it hasn't been reported in awhile because of everything else that overtook the news... trump didn't really make actual deals with all of those nations he said he did. Bunch of them said nothing materialized
3 hours ago3 hr 32 minutes ago, Diehardfan said:Sure it does. You all are in a mentally ill TDS camp. Not all tariffs are passed on. I love them being enacted and I think they will work. That's it.It made no sense, you should really get away from using canned responses hahahahahaha.

They make good cutting tools in that area of the world but that particular company added on the export fees to the splitting axe while another manufacturer I buy puukko knives from hasn't. So I bought American and honestly it worked fine the other day.Using that example if the price of knives does go up I'm buying from an American one like ESEE.
3 hours ago3 hr 3 hours ago, Diehardfan said:Trump isn't giving handouts like the Democrats did. This farmer aid comes from tariffs we're putting on China to make them pay for cheating us, and it'll help our farmers stay afloat while we push for better trade deals. Supporting Argentina's Milei keeps China from taking over their soy market, which helps our farmers by keeping prices stable. It's a smart move to protect our farms and put America first, not the weak trade policies we had under Biden. Not as much fun but there ya go.oh brother....."This farmer aid comes from tariffs we're putting on China"We are not putting tariffs "on China". We are putting tariffs on products FROM China. The tariffs are then paid by the AMERICAN company importing the product into the US. So yeah, it's a handout to farmers, who are being negatively impacted thanks to Trump's own policies, and the handout is being paid for by tax revenue collected from American companies. LOLOLOL yeah what an "America first" move to implement policies that harm our own agricultural industry so bad we have to bail out farmers, and then go give $20 billion to a foreign country while we tell our troops and the entire federal civilian workforce to go without pay for a while because the government is shut down.BRAIN. WASHED.

2 hours ago2 hr NBC NewsEducation Department employees surprised to find their em...Five furloughed employees told NBC News they had put up nonpartisan out-of-office messages, only to see they were changed — without their permission — to partisan ones.The altered email messages included language saying: "Thank you for contacting me. On September 10, 2025, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5371, a clean continuing resolution. Unfortunately, Democrat Senators are blocking passage of H.R. 5371 in the Senate which has led to a lapse in appropriations. Due to the lapse of appropriations, I am currently in furlough status. I will respond to emails once government functions resume.”One of the employees said they were not overly worried about getting hit with a Hatch Act violation, saying the department has crossed into a level of partisanship they’d never seen without anyone being held accountable. In this case, the employee was incensed that someone else’s message was connected to their name."Nobody follows the law anymore, so why does it matter? It seems like laws are dotted lines now, not solid lines. It seems there’s no one to hold this administration accountable to laws,” one of the employees said. As far as fearing any repercussions, they said: "Clearly, this wasn’t done by me, it was done while I was in a furlough status, I think I’d be able to argue that point.”

2 hours ago2 hr He's not wrong..."Yeah, if you’re going to criticize Mamdani for wanting to own the grocery stores, you have to be equal parts critic to any Republican who wants a share of Nvidia, a share of Intel, or a share of U.S. Steel. It’s a bad idea. It’s a slippery slope. And really, it is heading in the direction of what socialism is, which would be owning all of the means of production. If you only own a percentage of the means of production, it still is a step in the wrong direction,” Paul replied."Then what do you think about this new partnership that we just heard about today with Pfizer? It’s going to be known as TrumpRx. Our U.S. government is going to sell Pfizer drugs on a website named after Donald John Trump,”
