Not sure what great benefit the American worker gets from continued Chinese labor other than cheaper products and fewer jobs. The PMI has been putrid before tariffs were increased this week and won't be getting better any time soon so manufacturing layoffs will continue.

Farmers have been suffering already from China buying from Brazil and other countries. Not really sure if the government payments to farmers are as equitable as free market capitalism. But it's very interesting all you guys denounce socialism to the degree that you do when this president is enacting it right in plain sight. lol

Tariffs are a tax on American consumers that will be felt as soon as companies can no longer afford to eat the cost increases. Once this economy loses the consumer, the next recession will begin. The flattening yield curve has already signaled the inevitable.

A tariff resolution before the election might delay it some but this has already been the longest running bull market in history. The only direction may be lower. The Donald is really playing with fire with world trade. But I guess the nobility and protectionism of it is something you guys buy rather easily.

The companies are not eating the costs James, China is manipulating their prices to make up for it.
If companies were eating it, or consumers, they would find an alternative to China. Do you think China wants that? No.

I do buy it, I give a damn about the average American having a chance at a decent job to support a family. Have you already forgotten how most thought the American dream was gone prior to the last election?

China is our greatest threat, they are a communist nation with a long view of the US being diminished. That concerns me, and it should concern you as well.

No, China manipulated their currency and was one reason the tariffs were increased. So it costs more for Chinese goods imported this week than it did last week. On December 15th more electronics will be included in the tariffs. Basically a new tax.

I know you buy everything he says. No worries.

Seriously doubt those two are laughing at Trump. He beat one in an election and is destroying the other's legacy.

It’s not about what Trump says, it’s about what is happening. That is what is happening James.
How long do you think consumers will buy cheaply made products from China that cost more? Not long, they’ll get it from somewhere else. If you were China would you want that?
It has nothing to do with Trump, he just happens to be the only leader we’ve had with the balls to do it.
China is banking on folks like you.
 
The December 15th delay of tariffs is basically a favor to Tim Cook of Apple who has been lobbying Trump to exclude cell phones.

It can take years for a business to change their entire supply chain if everything is made in China. lol

All toys are literally made there.
 
"You guys"??? Don't clump me in with you and yours myopic ways. I have voted for R's and D's alike, depending on what kind of person they really are. Trump has some good ideas about things, but he has no idea how to go about getting them done. His bullying, egomaniac ways rub many good people the wrong way. Not many on the "right" will speak up about the type of person Trump really is. They only care that he is a Republican and that's all that matters.


Come on now. Not like this is the first time we’ve talked politics. If you aren’t a radical leftist anymore, good for you.
 
What I find most humorous about this is how the left mocks religion for the same thing.

Yeah you see a few religious nutters standing on street corners with a "the end nigh" sign but that doesn't even begin to compare to climate change nutters.

Millions of them including presidential candidates not only stand on street corners with their "the end is nigh" signs but they also incessantly shout it from the rooftops.
 
This Alabama thing has gone from hilarious to just plain pathetic. Trump dragged a fox news corespondent into the oval office today. Told him he was always right about the hurricane and the fox news anchors were being unfair to him and needed to stop making fun of him. What kind of unhinged lunatic gets hung up on something so stupid? Just say you got confused from an early projection and let it go. He has completely lost his mind. Even the conservative news people were laughing at him today. Sad.
His own tweet today show projections of 5% for Alabama to get the lowest possible winds classified as tropical storm. And of course these were 2 days before he went all in on Bama. He got an updated projection that morning that showed none of this. He's a nut

Link to photos of multimillion strong climate crowds standing on street corners?

There not literally on street corners. It's an analogy you dope. It's much worse. Like I said they're screaming it from the rooftops (another analogy).

They're at work, home, out in public, on social media, on national TV, on debate stages, on Capitol Hill etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. They're all "the end is nigh" nutters.

We just witnessed a 7 hour marathon of 20 D politician presidential candidates stand on a stage and scream from the top of their lungs that the end is nigh and they received thunderous applause.

Again the left has a disdain for religion and makes fun of the nutters for their apocalyptic beliefs yet they're all in on the world ending in 12 years.

The few and far between doomsday religious nutters don't even begin to compare to the climate change nutters who also have a much larger platform.

Some homeless drunk standing on a corner screaming repent is not equal to congressional leaders on national TV promising the world's demise.

I find the double standard and hypocrisy humorous especially since the left's doomsday nutters are more extreme and are actually in the mainstream.

The Canuck taking your other post completely literal and not getting it...is one of the funniest things on here in the last few pages. But wait a minute...

They don't really stand on street corners as much as getting in the streets and getting in the way. With the exception of Islam, the environmental left is the most dangerous and unforgiving religions that exists...also notice how many small kids they are using. The fear and anxiety they are putting into those kids...

Every time you post this or your comrades comment about this Alabama situation you play directly into trumps hands. This is straight from his playbook. He loves to see his opponents go apoplectic. By getting you to focus on this its a diversion. He wants you to think he’s unhinged he wants you posting and perpetuating a meaningless snafu. You guys need to wake up to who really looks unhinged and fools. Trump played the idiot left wing media and he continues to play the left all over social media. You guys can’t help yourself to fall into his trap. He tells you what he’s going to do. What his strategy is and you play into anyway. That takes a certain type of special.

I feel like every comment on social media just makes trump stronger. No one in history has gotten more free press than this president. He thanks you.
 
Far Left Cancel Culture Has Created An Army Of Secret Trump Supporters. A new poll published by College Fix shows that 73% of college republicans hide their political views out of fear of being failed or ostracized.

This phenomenon of secret conservatives and secret Trump supporters is not new, in fact this was discussed even before Trump won the 2016 election. But with the constant far left media outrage its no surprise that the base of secret Trump supporters seems to be growing.

Dave Chappelle's comedy special was a glimpse into the American psyche. We can see after 16 thousands reviews his special Sticks and Stones has 99%. Around the same time Adult Swim published a comic heavily criticizing woke media and twitter journalists for not doing any basic fact checking. Needless to say the woke far left was outrage by this and started accusing the network of the same old tired routine.

But because the media is being dominated by this far left social justice outrage 2020 Democrats chase after it believing it is what people want. The good news for Trump and the republican party is that they don't

In the end I think many life long Democrats will either not vote or will switch and vote trump out of annoyance and anger with the far left politically correct absurdity dominating mainstream culture.

False, you have no clue what Trump does daily. You only have what CNN, MSNBC, CBS, and all of the other lying media tells you to believe and like a good little socialist/commie you walk lockstep with propaganda news.

Yes 3 days before Trump started this shit. The guard is activated if there is even a 1% chance. By then the guard had stood down. You can just admit that Trump is acting like a ****ing spoiled idiot.
This is them less than a day later, 2 days before Trump started this insanity.

Trump's tweet said may. Libs laughed and said it was stupid. Now, as usual, there's proof he was right. There was a chance. Yet libs will triple and quadruple down.


I always think these are hilarious. Unfortunately it really isn't like this. Libs don't stress over hypocrisy. They never think that far. They just say whatever their overlords want, no matter if it's consistent or not.

The greatest example is the Muslim/gay rights stances. But there are countless more
 


Lol. So before the algorithm, which of course doesn't consider race, blacks and whites were about equally as likely to get a pretrial release.

But that wasn't enough. So they forced an algorithm into the situation (which actually works well, which is a different topic).

Now blacks are less likely than whites to get a release. Even after two modifications. So now the algorithm is racist of course solely because it isn't producing the outcome they want.

Why must everything be about race? Why continue the wasted energy of trying to guarantee an equal outcome?

No, what matters is just how awful the alternatives on the left are.

China has bent over any US business willing to grab their ankles. If it wasn't fair, why do business with them in the first place? It can't get any lamer than crying foul whilst earning billions. If the president wants a Trump Tower in Hong Kong, just say so. All he's really doing is crushing manufacturing and farming which will undoubtedly come back to bite him in the ass.

Why would China or any other country have our best interest at heart?

Many believe the rake hikes were long overdue but here's the thing, inflation has been low and jobs have been strong for a decade. But the bottom-line is the fed is independent of presidential politics no matter what gets tweeted. When the economy weakens, they cut. When it's strong, they raise.

Jobs have been strong for a decade? The unemployment rate in August of 2009 was 9.7%
