The party of Central Planning wants your slavish obedience to its perpetual agenda: trade your Freedom, albeit paid for in blood and treasure, for vague lies of effortless handouts that actually deliver death and misery laden dependency, all to actually benefit Bureaucratic elite overlords.

Say no to Democrat rule.

Liz Cheney is the most obvious, but there are plenty of other Republicans who're every bit as bad as the Dems - and serving the same master the Dems are serving. Even Donald's own appointees have turned on him. The Supreme Quislings he appointed, and the Good Hair Guy (I think he was VP, although he sure didn't act like one - especially toward the end) turned out to be traitors.

On the state level, you have Republican politicians eliminating taxes, which they KNOW will eventually lead to higher property taxes - paving the way for family farms to be replaced by ruthlessly-run factory farms (owned by complex entities immune to taxes, and by publicly-owned lands: all part of the plan you describe so well).

Few Republican politicians seem to be really resisting trends and plans which will result in Americans' being displaced from rural homes, and herded into urban apartment blocks (where they will soon be discovering that it's hard to find enough meat - particularly since independent ranchers have also been herded off their farms and into cities).

I'm all for Donald. But the rest of them?

Few Republican politicians seem to be really resisting trends ...

Salter's 'recognized expert' the always warmongering Roger Wicker being a case in point.

If you like Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Russia, then you will love Harris/Walz. Just remember that Harris' father was a professor of Marxism at Stanford University.

I'm not sure which concerns me more, the Godless liberal panderers or the single minded sheep who profess blind faith in a flawed human being as the "only hope' for our earthly salvation. If he's our "only hope" we are lost. Truly.

DL and Trump don't know what a tariff is...we pay the tariff on goods from other countries. The other country doesn't pay it. The idea is to make their goods too expensive for us to buy and that includes, sadly, parts our industries need.
You don't seem to "get" that eliminating our income taxes means our military has no support. Our soldiers don't get paid. We can't buy bullets.
This isn't time for fictional stories that only dumb kids believe are true.

@ October 27, 2024 at 8:04 AM - The intent of the tariffs in Section 301 is to encourage companies to bring production back to the US while penalizing China for unfair trade practices and currency manipulation. Why didn't Biden/Harris stop the tariffs, just like they did the border protections? Because the government has a spending problem and no accountability. The companies that produce in China pay the tariffs, but don't necessarily pass it on if competitors have a better cost basis. They have to choose whether to lose profit or market share. It does not necessarily influence higher prices, but it can.

8:04 - we don not pay tariffs. China has to pay the tariff when their containers are taken off the ships in Long Beach, California.

This aticle says “the authorities” have threatened Trump with assassination. That is a blatant lie. The author should issue a correction.

You do realize that during his term as presidency, the federal deficit increased more than it did during any previous administration - and this was before Covid.

Ok, you're off to a good start, so stay with me now...The Chinese company then increases the price of the goods in that container to account for the tariff, and those goods are ultimately bought by Americans. So, you see, it's Americans who ultimately pay the tariff. The Chinese companies still make their profit. Tariffs just make the cost of goods more expensive for American consumers in an effort to make American companies more competitive. Chinese companies lose the ability sell cheap manufactured goods, but the price of, well, basically everything in Wal-Mart goes up. Get it now?

Thanks 8:37 am for trying to also explain to those who just don't want to believe that "their business genius" apparently didn't get an A in economics.
The Bloomberg interview at the Economics Club was pathetic.
IF Trump ever excelled in the MBA program, he clearly has become senile.
Nor do they understand it was his last set of tariffs on top along with first ignoring and then screwing up the pandemic response. There has been a written plan to deal with pandemics written for all Presidents for decades.
We need a President who knows there are people who know more about some subjects than they do and know to rely on known facts, not on intuition.

October 28, 2024 at 8:29 AM, not so fast, my friend. You didn't include the Biden spending machine, which leads all government debtors.

@8:37 true in part.
Take the example of Solo Stove. American made product. They made a decision to export manufacturing and are now importing a finished product. If tariff is on the finished product and not the materials the product could be made cheaper (or more competitively) in the USA. Thus keeping manufacturing jobs in the US.

9:45 am Please try to understand both the national debt and tariffs. The national debt is no different than personal debt. You should go into debt if you can buy assets and make investments that will increase in value and increase your wealth. Because we did that, our house is worth more than we put into it and IRA is worth more than we will be able to spend.
Better still is we did invest in our children's future by making sure they had a good education. Both have been financially independent since they graduated and one is a multimillionaire already and the other could retire and 45. The grandchildren have full rides to prestigious universities. So...you can stay in the Trump ignorance is great and lies are good bubble and not bother to educate yourself and just repeat drivel.
If you've succeeded, it will be shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves. We are happy our blue collar families believe in education they self educated. We were happy to care for them in their later years. If men are threatened now, they brought it on themselves. There are no men in my genetics that fail but then they actually read and comprehend and don't listen to con men or dummies!

The level of ignorance in your post is astronomical. Trump is a businessman, and owner of properties worth tremendous amounts of money. You, you're an anonymous poster on Jackson Jambalaya. Who should we listen to?

And they all lived happily ever after. The end.
