"You do know that it is the American consumer who ultimately pays those Failed Loser Trump Trade War Trump Tariffs, right?
It is not Indians in India or the Chinese in China who ultimately pay those Trump / Repub hyper inflated prices.
Who Really Pays the Tariffs? USA Firms and Consumers, Through Higher Prices.

https://taxfoundation.org/blog/who-really-pays-tariffs/
Oh, Tariffs can be imposed without crippling the domestic economy or reducing jobs creation if the accompanying economic legislation and stewardship is sterling, brilliant, highly effective enough to override the damage done by them. Shhh. Don't tell Larry Summers about that. It would crush him.
Biden / the Dems have been able to manage that result.
Trump / the Repubs did not. And never will. It is simply beyond a Repub's grasp to know how to do that and do it. ".
What do we know?
We know all of you evil mofos hate the USA.
Like you, you haven't stepped a toe inside the USA in 12+ yrs and never plan on returning (if I was president your citizenship would be revoked).
(you're so pro illegal alien, I would give your citizenship to someone else).
You are pro anything, anti USA.
And pro anything pro CCP.
Lets hear your "honest" (LMFAO) opinion of TPP?
If tariffs are bad for the USA why does the CCP and you (and tiny12) hate them so much.
CCP tariffs imposed on the CCP have brought down prices their which have saved the USA economy.
From the likes of Scumbag Joe and Scumbag Nancy.
Joe Manchin also helped by blocking BBB Scumbag Joe tried destroying the USA with.
I think Manchin would be a decent President he and I see things very similarly!!

Only four of them are transgender."Ohio is currently considering a ban on transgender students in sports, after the state House of Representatives passed a bill that would do as much in June.

If it is NOT yet clear to Repubs by now...Biden is playing CHESS to their CHECKER play.
NYT: On the Border, Republicans Set a Trap, Then Fell Into It- "Congressional Republicans thought they had set a clever trap for Democrats that would accomplish complementary political and policy goals.
Their idea was to tie approval of military assistance to Ukraine to tough border security demands that Democrats would never accept, allowing Republicans to block the money for Kyiv that many of them oppose while simultaneously enabling them to pound Democrats for refusing to halt a surge of migrants at the border. It was to be a win-win headed into Novembers elections.
But Democrats tripped them up by offering substantial almost unheard-of concessions on immigration policy without insisting on much in return. Now it is Republicans who are rapidly abandoning a compromise that gave them much of what they wanted, leaving aid to Ukraine in deep jeopardy, border policy in turmoil and Congress again flailing as multiple crises at home and abroad go without attention because of a legislative stalemate."

Yes, at very selective times (like now), I think Dems should call Repubs bluff. Thereby essentially taking away anything the Repubs have to bemoan and "b1tch about" or campaign on....kkkk!

Posts: 1147"Apprentice Trump" says..."You're fired!"
Is Trump looking to reprise his dubious TV role in a reboot of Apprentice, once again? Arguably, many would say, was the ONLY job (pretending to be a CEO/Businessman), he was ever qualified in doing.
But with the recent RNC 2020, 2022 (Repub "Pink Trickle" House) and 2023 election primary losses, Trump is poised once again, to cast blame, fault and the onus of the Repub failure, on one of his fellow insurrection "loyalists" and "lackeys". Who will it be this time?
Yes, it's painfully clear that, yet another Trump "loyalist", may soon find themselves, being outed under the Apprentice catchphrase, "You're fired!".
Trump indicates it's time for RNC chair Ronna McDaniel to step down...
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...tep-rcna137383
Oh yeah! Ronna McDanial's (RNC Chair) fate, is all but sealed, as if she were a contestant on said TV show. But however and just maybe, with enough grovelling, sycophants like Ronna McDaniel, can bend the knee (no doubt), and renew her undying pledge, to the Orange Throne?
NOTE: Similar fates and dysfunctional behavior, are also being played-out across the country, as RNC Chair infighting, in several key states, have Repubs continuing to meltdown, in disarray, in this Trump "mob boss" style leadership era.

Posts: 1147Yet another deranged, unhinged, right-wing murderer conspiracist nutjob...
Right-wing Trump deranged nutter, decapitates his own father!
Yet another right-wing nutjob, murderer/killer and Trump cultist, named Justin Mohn, a Pennsylvania (PA) man, murders his father in a cold blooded beheading, then posts the murdered gruesome corps, online via YouTube.
Once again, the right-wing psycho was acting on the usual dumb right-wing, "Trumpian" psychotic cuckoo paranoid bullshit. And of course the call to arms for so-called "patriots". Apparently he decapitated his father, because he'd worked as federal government employee for 20 years, calling his dad a traitor, along with all government officials.
Justin Mohn charged after allegedly beheading father in Pennsylvania
https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...-mohn-youtube/
Just another, in a long Line of right-wing nutjob, wacko, brainwashed murderers:- There's the wackjob with a hammer, who attacked Nancy Pelosi's husband, now up on attempted murder charges, is using the "conspiracy defense".
- Or the gunman who opened fire inside a Washington pizzeria, psychoticly motivated by the "Pizziagate" Conspiracy theories.
- Or dimwitted and gullible 18 year gunman (mostly heavily radicalized and brainwashed through right-wing online chat groups), who murdered ten in the May 2022 massacre at a grocery store in a predominantly Black, neighborhood in Buffalo, N.Y.
- Or the wackjob murderer, who killed five in Colorado Springs, Club Q shooting, largely patronized by the LGBTQ community

Your second question, and only considering individual sports, we would have seen domination of titles in every state, which is not true, so it is possible for straight females to defeat trans females in competition. Strongest and fastest don't always win. Usain Bolt had bad days where he's human and loses.
Usain Bolt fastest 100 M is 9. 58/ Flo-Jo is 10.49. Most male Olympians go under 10 seconds. And you can say ah-ha "see? And you would be correct. But we are not talking about the Olympics but rather high schools, where we encourage the kids to go out have fun, be healthy with exercise, and hope they learn about comraderies and friendships (good sportsmanship).

Posts: 5561The Trump / Repub Love For Open Borders and Fenantyl Addiction Knows No Bounds.
Trump, ChristoFacist Mike and the Repub Pink Tinkle House Majority LOVE and PREFER Open Borders and widespread Fenantyl Addiction so much they simply cannot bring themselves to agree to even put up for a vote the Border Crisis Solution Bill that a Ruby Red Repub Senator from a Ruby Red Repub State negotiated and was quite happy about:
Mike Johnson Won't Bring Senate Border Bill Up For A Vote.
Because you know who is pulling his strings!
https://crooksandliars.com/2024/02/m...te-border-bill
....."As speaker Johnson calls this even worse than expected, the lead Republican senator who negotiated the bill, James Langford of Oklahoma, responded to those comments."
LANGFORD: I'm a little confused how it's worse than expected when it builds border wall, expands deportation flights, expands ICE officers, border patrol officers, detention beds, how it creates a faster process for deportation, how it clears up a lot of the long term issues and loopholes that have existed in the asylum law, and it gives us emergency authority that stops the chaos right now on the border. So I'm a little confused. I'll have to be able to get with the speaker's team on that and find out what part would be quote, unquote, worse than what we expected, based on the actual text. Hopefully they've had an opportunity to actually read through the text.

Oh, no instead of addressing REAL ISSUES, they would have Americans heads in the sand, chasing "fool's gold", talking about meaningless culture wars, meaningless fictional purple character's sexual orientation, or as previously mentioned and foretold, the ominous boogeymen/boogeywomen, come to drag us all to hell.
Whether it is:- - book burning/banning {dictionaries included}
- bathroom hijinx
- the "boogeymen" and "boogeywomen" (ie. like Taylor Swift)
- purple dinosaurs and purple teletubbie babies
The funny (and most hilarious) thing, about what right-wing QAnon/MAGA politics is clearly showing Americans, that even when good, viable bi-partisan bills and policies are put on the table, to address REAL problems...THEY DON'T WANT TO SOLVE REAL PROBLEMS! (Note: Especially if it is the Dems, initiating said bi-partisan legislation. Which is almost always!)
WHY don't Repubs, want to solve real problems...you ask?- Simple put, "hate", "nihilism", "anarchy", "thuggery", "grifting" and "do nothing" politics have become the order of the day for Repubs and Trump.
- Simple put, on the one hand, they want to distract Americans (especially they're base) from anything substantive. And while distracted, "pick your pockets" clean, thus benefiting their wealth rich and billionaire donor class.

Turkey's inflation sees biggest monthly jump since August, near 65% year-on-year.
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/05/turk...ndroidappshare
In January, Turkish inflation logged its biggest monthly jump since August with a 6.7% rise from December, while year-on-year inflation hit nearly 65%.
Food, beverages and tobacco, as well as transportation, all increased between roughly 5% and 7% month-on-month, while housing was up 7.4% since December.
The figures come two days after Turkeys appointment of a new central bank governor, Fatih Karahan.

"Being a classic Repub, America's economy doing historically well today while China's economy is crap really, really bothers Trump.
Therefore, he is already floating his plan to "turn this economy around" in classic Repub fashion should just enough of the American electorate prove themselves incapable of choosing the correct answer for what 2+2 equals and put him back into the White House:
