Seems the emphasis would be American made to support the tariff plan.


The emphasis appears to be on playing Santa Claus, although the Robin Hood costume was also seen hanging backstage.
Does High Fructose Eric ever post his bullshite without the red siren emoji?

Doesn't Louisiana have a pretty bad rep for civil asset forfeiture? That ain't feds stealing your property, that's local and state.

You ever live in New Orleans or other high crime area?


No, and that's deliberate.

I'm not anti-cop, I just no longer automatically give them the benefit of the doubt. I think most of them will treat you fairly as long as your interests don't conflict with theirs, but once they do look out. You'd better hope you're dealing with the skinny end of the bell curve.

Some of the same people supporting this now were railing against police during covid for "following orders" and being the henchmen for the government.


This is differen[T].


I don't really get "Back the Blue!!!" more than the "all pigs suck" group. Cops are people, some of them suck, some of them don't, most of them will be negatively influenced by their power and lack of accountability. You just hope it's to a small degree.

Well, apparently you can.

The trumps again nothing from this crap. For Biden, AOC, etc., it's major influence


You think Trump is doing it for kicks? Trump campaigned and raised money and sold influence just like anybody else, so I don't know why anybody is surprised that he's continuing the pattern. He's a politician and it's what they do.

I'm sure the "Bushies" promised to line RD up with political funding, but RD should've declined to associate with them under any circumstances.


You only approve of politicians who turn down donors? :lol:

You may as well sit out the political process for the rest of your life.

They've really taken the Game of Thrones phaggotry to absurd lengths. "Bend the knee", talk of loyalty and kingmakers, etc.

I have never understood the mentality of the left of wanting to tax the shite out of higher earners.


And I don't understand it when MAGA cheers for it either, aside from the obvious.
The GOP at the national level focuses on holding on to power. The left focuses on wielding power.

it's going to be really hard for some of these people to dump the homes and payoff their mortgage.


You mean it's going to be really hard for the bank to dump the homes and attempt to recoup some of their losses. You're describing people who will just walk away if the balance sheet is bad enough.
I used to travel to the Seattle area regularly. The transformation over the last 30 years is unreal; from a slightly hippy-ish beautiful, clean city to Urban Camper Central, needles on the sidewalk, etc.

I’m just trying to follow the logic of the OP. Exemptions means capitulation, but apparently only when other countries do it.


I wouldn't call it logic but I think that's the MAGA view.

Are there any posters here who are part of the legal system in this country who are either embarrassed, ashamed, or outraged by how Democrats are using the Judicial system


I don’t know who all here is a lawyer, but I know the most prolific posting lawyer either defends it or avoids the topic altogether.

The fact that trannies are mentally ill isn’t debatable. Folks who are struggling with mental issues shouldn't be allowed in the military.


It doesn't even matter if they're mentally ill or not. If the Commander in Chief decides this is the policy going forward, that's it. End of discussion. We exclude people from service for a multitude of reasons, this is just another one to add to the list.

Peterson is brilliant but is also prone to insanity… much like Sam Harris.



Harris is a poser. He's not remotely intellectually curious.

Wasn't this Lumumba one of them "Kangs"???


Second generation grifter. Son of Chokwe Lumumba, or Edwin Finley Taliaferro when he was born in Detroit.

The Chokwe Antar Lumumba era is over in Jackson


Jackson found out what a lot of institutions have found out the hard way: somebody eventually has to work and be competent. There's a lot of inertia in the government machine, and probably people down the line who will do their jobs no matter how incompetent leadership is, but eventually shite breaks and someone has to actually lead and make hard choices instead of just redirecting public money to their posse.

You can get away with a local banana republic for a time, but the collapse is inevitable if you don't elect a minimally competent person every now & then.
