He doesn’t, but he takes advice from trade expert Peter Navarro, who has written many books, crediting the groundbreaking work on trade and tariffs by renowned expert Ron Varo (Navarro).

Yep, Trump’s trade expert’s best source for information is just making it up himself. It’s all just imaginary, wishful thinking. Stupid people think they can just wish their fantasies into reality.

Thanks for asking, I’ve been wondering, too.

Russia has been continuously at war with America since 1917.

And rammed the ramparts… .

I’m tired of this being treated like some complex puzzle, where every proposed solution only seems to create more problems. It’s actually very simple. HEY PUTIN: Stop shooting. GTFO of Ukraine. Return the Ukrainian people you’ve kidnapped. It’s just that easy!

This reminds me of when they first sent that innocent guy to El Salvador. The dictators of both ES and US were sitting side by side on the Oval Office, being asked by the “media” if they could send the guy back. Each dictator blamed it on the other one - while they were sitting side by side!

All they had to do was say, I’ll send him back if you’ll take him, and the other could say we’ll take him back if you’ll send him, and the guy could have been back with his family in a few hours.

Instead, they both acted like it was totally out of their hands. Do these dipshits actually run their countries, or not?

It’s a Muslim nation. Ask other Muslim nations, and you’ll see similar numbers.

Whatever, still not a country.

Smart. Some people don’t know when to quit while they’re ahead.

This guy was doomed from the start. He was always going to keep doing this until he failed. If he survived his second attempt, he would have died on his third, or fourth, etc.

I always tell young people, especially young men, that every friend group has that one dangerous guy. He’s the one that will hold a firework in his hand, drive like maniac to show off, drink way too much, take weird drugs, etc. Identify that guy early, and watch out for him. Don’t let him drive (he’s always the first to volunteer), don’t encourage his nonsense, and stay far away. He’s eventually going to get himself killed, and probably whoever is with him.

RFK, Jr is good example of the type.

Low self-preservation tendencies, but lots of money, is a bad combination. They can afford to get themselves into a lot of trouble.

I’ve got a good friend from Venezuela who got her citizenship last December. She thinks that makes her safe, but I worry about her. These people don’t even respect birthright citizenship, they aren’t going to respect new citizens, especially from a nation they’ve decided to demonize.

Basically, if you were born somewhere else, they want you out.

Palestine isn’t a country, or you can bet it would have been on the list.

"I hate that guy!”

Of course, all MAGAs are traitors.

They didn’t, they just supported illegal immigration because it gave them low wage workers that they could exploit in their pollution factories. To some shallow political thinkers, that’s the equivalent of a Democratic position, and if you have one Democratic position, even if it is blatantly self-serving, it means you’re a Democrat.

Like Kamala did?

The Dems would rather wait until enough Republicans get fed up with the MAGA Nazi incompetence enough to vote Democrat, than actually be a true opposition, or leftist, party.

Timing will be important. They’ll want the big violence to break out next summer, so he can declare Martial Law, and suspend the 2026 Midterm election.

America has never missed an election, even during the Civil War. Suspending an election is a big, bright red, flashing line. They do that, and it’s on for real.

I had a job I loved, although it was owned by a complete asshole. I got a new job, at nearly double the pay. I agreed to give 2 weeks notice, even though it was going to cost me a lot of money, which I needed (this was my first good paying job, and I was broke).

Rather than understand that I was doing him a favor, my asshole boss decided to torture me for my final two weeks. I put up with it for a week, then told him I was done on Friday. I was essentially paying out of my pocket to give him 2 weeks, but I wasn’t going to pay him to abuse me, so I just left him standing there with his mouth agape.

I took the weekend off, and started my cool new new job on Monday (and it was a cool job, one of the best I’ve ever had).

I’ve come to realize that Dopamine is the reason for EVERYTHING.

I’m trying to figure out to move to another instance, and found my mod logs. Turns out a lot of my best posts have been deleted, often for stupid reasons. Apparently Lemmy isn’t much better than Reddit as far as tolerating free speech.

I managed to find a new instance, but my posts haven’t ported over. Looks like I’m starting over.
