That fully depends on the scale. And a 20pct tariff across the board.. well..

It is. Game theory 101. If you want behaviour to stop this is how you do it.

Edit: it's good to see Ukraine kan now reliably accomplish this.

We are at the tit for tat stage now. Attack Kyiv, we attack Moscow. Attack civilian target we attack oil storage.

Change in this case is not, "were doing everything completely different", but more of where the focus of the policy is. And the focus on "the economy" does shit for normal people. I'm sure wrecking the economy will hurt them.. but the simple fact is biden-harris failed to adress the issues facing a looooooot of americans.

And your chocolate pudding example perfectly aligns with the failure to imprison Trump. The Americans don't care about ANY of his crimes because the justice system and the president did not Care.

If it was soooooooo important, he would have been thrown in jail, publicly prosecuted and executed for treason.. and he was not. Instead everyone danced around it, and SHOWED the American people there are zero consequences while saying "he is so dangerous, he is so bad, he is a criminal". Well like you say, talk is cheap. Put up or shut up.. and the American people said the same. All the anti Trump rhetoric was dismissed because if any of it where true he would have been in jail.

The fact Biden is the most pro worker and pro u ion does not mean shit if the whole world saw you use executive power to publicly stop the strike. The fact that he later in backrooms got them ak OK deal.. was done in the limelight.. so that's an own goal. He should have targeted the Corporation at the same time.. but he did not.

So I get what you are saying. And I argue, the Dems fucked themselves.. a lot.. repeatedly..

The US military predicts april or October 2027 or 2028 as several things coalesce.

The month is determined by the weather in the Taiwan strait The year because china ordered it's military to be ready to take Taiwan by force in 2027. But October 2028 means the US should be either in chaos due to an upcoming election, or because there will not be an election.

So if I would have to bet, it's Oct 2028. Unless the maga party shits the bed real bad before then.. they might open an Oct 2027 or April 2028 window.

No, the Democratic party ran a candidate that wanted to keep the status quo in a period the whole country needed change.

And during the last 4 years the sitting president was actually sleepy Joe. He should have arrested trump and his co conspirators and throw away the key after a very public trial.

But instead, they did nothing to stem the tide of fascism. If you want to blame people, blame the technocrats Trump was projecting on during his campaign. As if he is a small portion of who he says he is, he will show everyone what the Dems should have done.

You misspelled 44 billion dollar.

Yeah, Neil saying that Elon is not a god genius pushing the boundaries of space, but instead finally getting commercial viability for stuff NASA did decades ago means he's a target.

If the US stops Chinese stuff coming in due to tarrifs, the PRC will try and focus on the EU, flooding markets. This in turn might cause EU companies to get into trouble and require the EU to also impose tarrifs. The US can fuck the international trade of the whole world.

Any sane person needs to GTFO out of Florida anyway. The weather is only going to get more extreme and so are the christo fascists.

Us vs them too. It's different, people hate change. So now there is a them and an us..

The animals that see their migration path disrupted by this won't, that's a shame.

I fear we will be seeing a lot more of this kind of news from around the world.

He can deliver some tomahawks and other deep deep strike capabilities. And then the Ukrainians sit on them until Trump takes over. Then they have a bargaining chip.. turn open the tap or we will fucking drag you into our conflict kicking and screaming.

Now Ukraine can hire former USAF patriot operators and F16 maintainers and other former US servicemen with specific skill sets through blackwater or some other contractor.

They are now saying, we got the mandate, we gotta do it. I even heard a rep senator say that they will go after companies employing illegals because then they will go home.

Get ready, because this will cripple agriculture and other sectors.

Also, the IRS knows who employs illegals.. easily. They know how much revenues companies make per employee from massive datasets, they can easily point out the companies that over earn compared to their employee numbers in a specific sector. Same as they can easily determine someone's income from their yacht, house or jet size.

In the Netherlands they for example audit hair salons if their purchase of hairspray (or other consumables) does not line up with their listed revenue.. they know the revenue per bottle of hairspray... Or at least the range it should be in.

Check elsalvador. And now other countries are ramping up their approach. Building massive remote prisons for gang members, waves of arrests, no contact policies for prisoners.. it's incredibly harsh.. but in El Salvador it's working.

It seems that the only countries that seem to be getting a handle on things in south America are the ones where they round up and imprison everyone remotely connected to the gangs.. face tats.. off to prison.

Everyone knows this is what is going on.

Yup, he said he will. I don't know how this works in practice, but this is dangerous. Project 2025 is very clear about stacking the institutions.

I think you are right, but being better than the other guy was not enough apparently.

Edit: and I'll informed voters might have a lot to do with who owns the channels used for information. The mainstream media is owned by billionaires, and the most popular podcasters/streamers seem to be right wing and in the pockets of billionaires.

Have you witnessed the corruption of Joe Rogan, it was very public and very obvious.
