American Politics

56% Americans feel shameful about Trump, I find it s not much, 44% thinking this crazy is good image for them, when many boycott now USA for tourism, products. USA, say thank You Trump for your fall.

Best value in the Store. I purchased it. It is hangin on my wall as I write this.

Don't know where the brand was made. Don't care what my fellow Americans that are Republican Racists think of where I live or what I purchase. Why?

The Declaration of Independence

Read what is says up in dat ***** mother fucks!

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness

On of the things that gives me happiness is golf. I have been working on my golf swing.

I've been all over the world I've never met anyone that proclaims their love and / or gratitude for the cheap toxic products Asia produces with slave labor that floods every countries markets.

I don't know anyone that Thanks God for their Worthless CCP / Asia TV / electronics or anything they spew out so cheaply via slave factories.

Do you remember all the Foxconn suicides of slaves jumping off the roofs of their slave plantations, what was their response? They installed nets, so they could catch them.

And send them right back to the line ASAP I'm sure not w / o docking a few pennies from them for any time they wasted trying to kill themselves.

And US farmers will be just fine, we don't need that market, just grow something else and sell to someone else. BTW what will CCPland eat?

Maybe they can feed them the trash the container carriers are dumping overboard to dodge Our Lord and Saviors Tariffs.

Don t You need eggs? I love french chickens fresh eggs and Salers cows meat. People who can taste this meat knows what is pleasure. Same like with a beautiful, full natural, sweet GFE woman.

[Sirioja]

I wish for the French leader to check and see if he has a pair to back up his tough talk. Otherwise they will just get run over by Putin and be calling for Uncle to come liberated their asses once again!

Keep on living in past with your old, so senile stupid shameful leader and his gang. Everybody knows now Russian army is weak, not able to defeat only courageous Ukrainians after more than 3 years. USA fell for economics and need war business, trying to rob Ukrainians. EU and China are stronger than USA for economics, for now reality. Keep on sucking crazy Putin who makes fun of your old senile who forgot what he told on 2018 about Crimea. The Niagara fall rather than MAGA. Macron is right to support Ukraine and a country for Palestinians, for freedom and human rights, when your senile stupid tell about a beach resort. Remember also La Fayette.

The reason American farmers were choking on a big, hot, steaming Trump Turd in 2018,2019 and are choking on an even bigger, hotter, steamier one today has nothing to do with the cheap, Chinese goods imported into America because MAGA Walmart shoppers want, love and need those products and demand that they be cheap. It is because the Chinese were then and are now perfectly happy NOT buying agriculture from American farmers during these disastrous Trump Turd Tariff Tax Increases on the American Consumer Failed Trade Wars.

American Farmers suffered then and are now going bankrupt thanks to "smart businessman and salesman" Donald J. Trump driving away critically important customers for their goods.

How many soy beans do you think Americans can eat every day in order to replace the American farmers' global customers your boy is driving away like customers fleeing from Trump Steaks, Trump Water, Trump Airlines, Trump's Atlantic City Casino, etc, etc, etc?

EihTooms,

I swear these Republican Racists be showing their pure ignorance in each and every post they make.

Here is some back up:

WASHINGTON, DC, US China has not placed an order for US corn and soybeans since Jan. 16, four days before the inauguration of US President Donald Trump, Nikkei Asia reported, citing data from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).

I feel for my fellow Americans who are farmers!

For those of us in the workplace, people can breathe again. The ESG, DEI, white supremacy, disinformation bullshit is gone. Joe Rogan had a doctor on his show who was critical about vaccines and there was disagreement with what she said which is fine but there was no talk of the deplatforming bullshit.

Translation: Republican Racists can say nigger again without getting fired.

It is fucking crazy that this was allowed to happen. I am supposed to cry because these cheap goods made at slave wages are not coming through?

My lazy ass fellow Americans do not want to work in textile plants, manufacturing or meat packing plants. I am surprised to hear a Republican Racist have a problem with the wages others make. Right now in the Dis-United States of American does not pay a livable wage at the minimum level.

When people talk of the economy being bad, they mean the stock market.

Damn straight mother funk. What do you think that stock prices are loosely based on? I know you are a BUY BOND man but have you ever heard of an earnings call? When earnings go down that means the economy is down. Stop with your bullshit that that Stock Market has nothing to do with the economy. Because without the willingness to pay for future earning there is no stock market. Growth of earnings is what people are looking for. Unless they are value investors in which they are looking for discounts on assets others will buy for an increased value in the future. Then there are dividend investors. They also need earnings. That is what companies use to pay the dividends in the first place.

Why do Republican Racists want to tax food?

While you are so impressed with yourself, all I see is some narcissistic loser posting worthless my dick is bigger than yours bullshit.

Your fellow American has a working knowledge of how economics of the Dis-United States of America works. This fucks you up E2008 because you think all of your fellow Americans who look like me a dumb and you have dick envy for some reason. High priced Colombian prostitutes want to know how much money you are going to spend on them, not what you packing down there (size or color).

ROTFLMAO

[SubCmdr]

USA can t say they didn t know for crazy Trump, but they need to buy a brain, to be able to think. When I support Ukrainians, when I wish a country for Palestinians, I wish failure they deserve to USA. Then, maybe they will understand what they became.

I wish for the French leader to check and see if he has a pair to back up his tough talk. Otherwise they will just get run over by Putin and be calling for Uncle to come liberated their asses once again!

[EihTooms]

You can dump that toxic made in CCPland / Korean / VietCong trash in the ocean (and just cut out the middle men) or sell it at Walmart Amazon we then dump it straight into our overflowing landfills with it after 1 usage.

I have a better idea stop destroying the planet and just stop producing that worthless trash and sending it out way!

In 2021, the only way I could travel was if I got dangerous and worthless vaccines. The stores often did not have supplies. When I went abroad, thanks to Biden, I had to pay for a $100 test and have someone jab a Q-tip in my nose. Of course, that was if I went on an airplane. If I walked or drove across the border, the $100 Q-tip jab was not necessary and neither was a vaccine card. According to Biden, the vaccine could only travel in airplanes and oh yeah, if you got the vaccine, you would not get Covid.

And despite these absolutely bird brained policies, Biden actually polled well with his approval ratings. Covid was whisked away not with a bang but a whimper. This so called deadly virus was replaced with the next threat to mankind, Vladimir Putin.

So you can say how much better Biden is than Trump but I will take 2025 over 2021 any day. If you looked at the USA and now and preCovid, I bet you could not tell the difference.

For those of us in the workplace, people can breathe again. The ESG, DEI, white supremacy, disinformation bullshit is gone. Joe Rogan had a doctor on his show who was critical about vaccines and there was disagreement with what she said which is fine but there was no talk of the deplatforming bullshit.

When people talk of the economy being bad, they mean the stock market. Ah yes, like the market has never been wrong. Yes, the Targets and Walmarts are freaking out. The ships are slowing down. No shit. There is going to be an adjustment. I think you and the market are completely misguided on tariffs though. What do you think the tariff rates were on most Chinese packages before? Would you believe zero?

De minimis shipments account for most of the cargo entering the USA, Customs and Border Protection said last fall. The agency said it was handling some 4 million de minimis shipments every day a rate that would blow past the previous year's mark of more than 1 billion shipments.

De minimis shipments "often don't have as much documentation, making it easier to get the shipments into the United States, whether we're talking about unsafe consumer products or fentanyl or food items that aren't permitted to be imported," Murray said.

Items imported under the exemption "are free of duty and taxes and are subject to expedited clearance processing," the USA International Trade Commission notes.

Backers of the existing de minimis structure say it eases commerce and gives consumers low prices; critics say it is used to hawk "cheap crap," as one lawmaker put it, and gives foreign companies an unfair advantage over domestic retailers.

And now the real kicker: Even before Trump was sworn in last month, de minimis was being targeted for change. The Biden administration proposed a new rule last fall to close the loophole. And USA Agencies and politicians have said the law is prone to abuse, from unscrupulous retailers falsely labeling expensive items as costing under $800 to criminals shipping illegal drugs under the guise of innocuous goods.

So while we see stories about the docks being empty, and dock workers doing nothing but waiting for ships, customs is overwhelmed logging in packages that previously were zipped through. I can see the labor force transition from receiving packages to inspecting them. That is what happens with change.

In the mean time, Together, Temu and Shein accounted for about 17% of the USA Discount market in 2023 for items such as consumer goods, fast fashion, and toys, according to a report on de minimis policies that the Congressional Research Service (CRS) updated last week.

It is fucking crazy that this was allowed to happen. I am supposed to cry because these cheap goods made at slave wages are not coming through?

So in the end, Biden considered doing tariffs but Trump actually did them. So what would you Democratic douches have done differently than Trump? Well, we know. You Democratic douches and Biden did nothing. Your only plan was and is to gripe about Trump.

Spoiler Alert: There is no mention of the USA Stock Market in this unavoidably glowing report on that first year of Bidenomics' Historic Recovery from Trump's Pandemic:

The 2021 U.S. Economy in Ten Charts.
Feb. 24, 2022

https://www.crfb.org/blogs/2021-us-economy-ten-charts

Strong Output Growth

After shrinking by a massive 9.5 percent in the second quarter of 2020, the economy has now recovered to its pre-pandemic trend. Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 8.7 percent in the second half of 2020 and 5.5 percent in 2021. By the end of last year, real GDP was just 0.4 percent from CBOs pre-pandemic projection.
..........
Inflation

While economic growth in 2021 was strong, so too was inflation. Normally, the Federal Reserve targets 2 percent growth in Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation and slightly higher Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation. In 2021, PCE inflation totaled 5.5 percent and CPI inflation totaled 6.7 percent on a fourth quarter-over-fourth quarter basis. That includes a 0.5 percent monthly increase in December alone.
..........
Personal Income Hit a New Record

Disposable Personal Income (DPI) in 2021 totaled $18.5 trillion 14 percent or $2.3 trillion higher than the 2019 level of $16.2 trillion. Total DPI for 2020 and 2021 was more than $4 trillion above the prior two years. The majority of this income growth was the result of COVID-relief measures such as recovery rebates and expanded unemployment benefits.

Recovery rebates, unemployment benefits, and other COVID relief responsible for this income boost mostly faded by the end of 2021. However, they were replaced by rising market income. As a result, total personal income in December remained 8.4 percent above pre-pandemic levels, which means it grew faster than either the prior trend or the elevated rate of inflation over that period.
..........
Employment Continues to Recover

In April 2020, the unemployment rate reached 14.7 percent the highest in modern history. Since then, unemployment has come down rapidly, declining to 3.9 percent by the end of 2021, the lowest since the start of the pandemic. The unemployment rate has only been that low twice in the last 50 years - in the year 2000 and for most of the two-year period before the pandemic.
...........
State & Local Governments are Flush With Cash

Over the course of the pandemic, policymakers authorized nearly $900 billion of aid to state and local governments. It is not clear this much aid was needed. State revenue and receipts, inclusive of federal aid, ended 2021 up 21 percent from the end of 2019. Even excluding federal aid, revenue and receipts were up 14 percent.

Now, before we enthusiastically choose the economy of 2025 over that of 2021, how about we wait for the final numbers in this first year of Trump's Colossal Botch of the Envy of the World Economy that Biden handed Trump barely 100 days ago.

Try finding fentanyl in CCPland or see what they would do if they caught you selling it (probably execute you and your whole family on live TV that same night).

If what they are doing isn't an ACT OF WAR what is?

Just nuke them off the map and be done with the savages already!!

America's farmers, if any of them were among the "poorly educated" that con man Donald Trump loves for obvious reasons, are sure getting a snootful of education about Trump and his Classic Repub Horrific Economic Results and Stewardship now:

Agriculture isn't nearing tariffs crisis, 'it is full blown crisis already' farmers say.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/28/trad...ndroidappshare

And there is also this:

Trump tariffs prompt slump in shipments to US ports.
Number of vessels scheduled to arrive at Port of Los Angeles next week is down by almost a third year on year.
April 28, 2025

https://www.theguardian.com/business...ments-us-ports

I would say this is not going to get much better over the next 3 years and 8 months. Not as long as lunatic Trump is in the White House. Without even those scant few somewhat "normal" Cabinet and Staffer guardrails around him this time, he has been exposed irreversibly to the World to be the pathetically clueless clown or is it the outright malignant self-loathing and life-hating arsonist he so obviously always was. Therefore, every minute of every hour of his presence on the scene engenders utter uncertainty and international economic paralysis.

I might argue it won't get demonstrably better if any Repub is in the White House going forward into the foreseeable future. Not unless a Repub candidate runs denouncing every statement, move, result and concept of a concept of a plan ever proposed or enacted by Donald Trump in his entire political career. Which is not likely to happen in any of our lifetimes.

Oh well.

But, hey, the Maistream Media clutched their pearls and demanded the big money Dem donors pull their funding of down ballot Dems because the Record-Breaking Economically Successful President Joe Biden stuttered and garbled a single point due to a verbal tick that naturally intensifies with age at that debate and Kamala Harris apparently had a laugh that annoyed some dumb Repub hillbillies.

So I suppose it's understandable why there were not more "players on the field" in the election to override that tiny handful of angry Muslims whose 0. 75 percentage point swing vote from Harris to Trump in just three swing states that became the sole single-issue and single demographic reason Trump was "given the presidency" again.

Yep. Oh well.

You can dump that toxic made in CCPland / Korean / VietCong trash in the ocean (and just cut out the middle men) or sell it at Walmart Amazon we then dump it straight into our overflowing landfills with it after 1 usage.

I have a better idea stop destroying the planet and just stop producing that worthless trash and sending it out way!

I'm so tired of all the winning though. I know my brokerage account is tired of it. Everything is deep in the red. Can we stop winning now please? Just for once, I'd like to see my NVDA and AAPL positions be green please. Thank you.
