Pooky

if memory serves correctly, when DJT imposed tariffs against China during his presidency, the Chinese response was muted, amounting to barely 20% of the U.S. figure, signifying that it was a face-saving measure only. The reason for this is that the knew the tariffs were justified, to rebalance the years of currency and market manipulation they had managed to effect with prior consequences. And the tariffs worked. Mass deportations of illegal aliens, on the other hand, are a logistical and administrative nightmare, due to the intentional and politically-driven overloading of the immigration system. As for tax cuts, what the left will never admit is that the DJT tax cut package increased tax receipts. Long may they continue, as they make sound financial sense. They just don’t punish high earners in the way the far left would like. Preventing the wide-scale domination of Chinese EVs may not fit in with the green agenda, but it makes the unions happy, so it keeps their money flowing to the DNC, even if their members might be realigning with the GOP. It also makes sound business sense. The Chinese have a myriad of EV companies, who could flood the world with their surplus production, sidelining the established manufacturers. It’s another case of China gaming the free market with extensive governmental support and subsidy.

There are three types of accountant … … those that can count and those that can’t. Methinks Disney’s are not the first kind.

Little known to members of the public, Walt Disney contributed the first immutable law of statistics, which is … Six out of seven dwarves are NOT Happy.

The best thing about Lavrenti Beria was that when Stalin died, Marshal Zhukov and other senior Soviet personnel interrupted a Presidium meeting, took him outside and shot him. Rumor has it that the trial that followed was only for show, using a double, to cover up his summary execution. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer fellow. 💀

Farage may be a monster raving looney, but he is standing as a Reform Party candidate.

What would be interesting would be any background information to suggest whether or not his statements, even if lewd, have substance. Alas, apart from the candidate’s denials, which can always be excluded on account of him being a politician whose lips are moving, this information is somewhat lacking from the article.

Personally, I’m undecided whether to voted Conservative, Labour, or Monster Raving Loony Party this time around 😎

Well, he has zero credibility anyway, so it’s possible.

Apparently, I am distinctly exothermic, so sleeping separately is advantageous for the wife’s comfort. Also, 85 lbs of stubborn dog is a lot to accommodate and still be able to wiggle your feet while sleeping together. Lastly, control of the covers is rendered a non-issue.

Yes, Paul Ryan is a loser. 2012 proved that.

So Joe has promised not to pardon his son and respect the verdict. My take? Joe expects he won’t be the Democrat candidate in November and is relying on his replacement to do the deed.

Glad to see they adopted the British method of hostage rescue … shoot anyone that isn’t a hostage. No matter their reason for being involved in keeping the hostages captive, they were by default complicit with the act of hostage taking and murder and so forfeited their reason for staying among the living.

I believe Judge Merchan and the 12 jurors just gave Donald Trump the November election. i also believe the “convictions” will not survive the appeals process and that the Judge and the DA will find themselves in legal jeopardy for this “trial”.

And, unlike the USA … … IT WILL ALL BE OVER IN 6 WEEKS!!!

I find your post highly offensive to the LGBTQIA+WTFBBQ community, especially those birthing persons who identify as Spirit Penguins 🐧

And three children who the American education system has failed to equip for life outside of TikToktopia, totally incapable of original thought, deed or drool, relying on their parents for the simplest of everyday life tasks. The Babylonbee … still failing at satire 😒

The absence of basic reasoning in these people makes me think natural selection is failing at it job 🙁

Got to disagree slightly here. Jimmy Carter is a good man, but made a horrible president. Joe Biden is not a good man.

I never said they were smart 🤣

Where, oh where, has innocent until PROVEN guilty disappeared to in this dystopian hell of a country? 🤔

The alt right and white supremacists should love the Democrats. They’re the party of racists (Joe), segregation and subjugation of minorities in this country. The folks who will vote for DJT will be the working class, the disenfranchised middle class, the aspirational minorities and anyone else who thinks the last three and a half years have seen the quality of life in this country plummet off a cliff. The “mainstream” media machine and the crony economists swear that the economy is going great guns and has never been better. Meanwhile, what the main-on-the-street sees is that this administration is confiscating those great guns with rampant real-world inflation, punitive economic and environmental policies and a denial that the real price of living these days far outstrips the published rate of inflation. That a hard truth to spin even if the whole of the media is behind you.

The handbag is a traditional British weapon of political intimidation, dating back to the late ‘70s and 80s https://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/article/margaret-thatcher-handbag

Unfortunately, it is totally believable 🙁

S-300 is old, too. Turkey got dropped from the F-35 program for opting to purchase the S-400 system from Russia. The S-500 entered service with the Russian military in 2021
