Listen to yourself. That sounds like every leftist regulation.

"Consumer protection"...just say it out loud

This is where you fail. I laid it out for you, and you just buzzed over it

NO ONE is telling you what you can or cannot buy in a tariff consumer protection system. A lefttst policy ism one that outlaws gas cars and stoves. If you want lead painted toys (extreme exaggeration), you can still have them. You can still make that choice. Leftist ON [OFF] Not your govt for you. Leftist [ON] OFF

It just wont be $3.99 anymore, Your choice. Freedom

My friend group is pretty idiosyncratic

The lawyers here are all over the place re national politics

Our PDO is run by a Republican with a ton of conservatives.

Our DA has a bunch of more liberal minded people

Once I announced in court I was wearing a Trump tie (had it way before political Trump) and a prosecutor and bailiff (who is LEO) let me know that was not a smart idea.

One of our insurance defense forms has a lot of Obama voters, even.

How do you define Leftist economics? Specifically as a policy. Not in relation to any other country or policy.

So if Democrats pass a tax that makes ammunition cost a thousand times what it does today, that is free market Trump-esque economics?

Did you see my initial point here? I concede there is no rhyme or reason with lawyers generally from a political perspective. It’s a lot of misguided supposed “self interest” and misguided ideas of public perception involved.

And, of course, as I explicitly said, many are just straight up idiots politically.

That's (D)ifferen(T).

Of course, Democrats like RobbBobbIger would be just fine with a tax like that if the right person supported it.

I don't discuss politics with local lawyers

Especially not after the tier incident

People are voting for the closest amalgamation of their values. There isn’t a thing that could come out about Trump or any Republican (even RINOS) that would make me say “you know what? I’m gonna vote Dem this time”. Literally nothing. Assuming Dems feel the same

The (D) is mildly clever, too, depending how you read it.

Adding the word politically was unnecessary

Why are you conflating domestic taxation with tariffs on foreign goods from a political adversary?

If China loses $30B in revenue, good. That aids America. If the DIMS pass that law, their asses get handed to them at election time.

Tariffs control a political environment with an adversary abroad. Elections do that domestically. We cant affect communist regimes thru their elections

You'll be OK. I know its tough to find out that there was a whole other version of conservatism that isnt nationalism or populism. It takes away your favorite buzzwords

If the Dems pass that law, it's probably a 2nd Amendment issue

You won't.

You think you stumbled on to a good point. You didn't, and you're left to argue with yourself against points I didn't make.

intelligent, educated professionals


I fricking hate when liberal posters use this kind of rhetoric. Firstly, they are confusing college degree (aka "educated") with intelligence, thereby with a nudge and a wink pointing to anyone who disagrees with them as the nose-picking, unwashed masses. I know a ton of abject r*t@rds with law degrees that can't reconcile their own savings accounts. My Uncle is a radiologist and is the biggest idiot I think I've ever met. You have to explain basic financial concepts to that moron, yet he made it thru medical school.

One of my best friends is a slobbering liberal and likes to pull out the "I was in the Peace Corps" whenever he needs a trump card in a moral argument. In other words, while I was working 50 hour weeks at my first job and paying my own way, he was eating goat meat in a hut on his dad's dime, yet HE knows how the real world works more than me?? Bitch, please.

Secondly, even assuming SFP has 30 IQ points on the average person, so what? The average person still has to live in this world and is ENTITLED to vote for the candidate that person believes will make their lives better. End. of. story.

His "intelligent, professional" friends can kiss my arse....
(note: I have a Masters of Accountancy degree from a top 10 business school and a CPA. I do not nor would not argue that anybody should vote the way I do because I'm more intelligenter than them. frick, I can not wait for November to be over. /end rant)

what you don't understand is SFP went LSU Honors College and has an advanced degree. Not to mention he gets his IQ tested regularly and usually scores north of 147.

guys like me with a basic 4 year degree are lucky to be posting on the same message board as him.
